    G & C you meant. Radar of F-104 was too small to fully exploit AiM-7. C is capable of air refueling, and it's most advanced version used by USAF. G- obvious reason 🙂

    I don't know about that, the Italian operated their version with aspides (italian aim-7) from 1986 when they put the R21G/M1 radar in it until 2004, they also put a little better version of the engine then the G as well the J-79-GE-19, better climb and acceleration. I think that one had the smokeless combustor as well.

    Not sure what the radar range was with the Italian radar, but it must have been enough to justify mounting aspides on it and the early F-104 was 20nm so its got to be greater than that. It was a radar with look down capability, but they had to remove the cannon to make room for it.

    I don't see anything about Mig-29 9.12 being cancelled or put on hold. Only something about Soviet technology being ok, but newer Russian technology not being ok.

    Am I missing something?

    Temporarily suspended due to world events. ED is unsure if they will be able to do it anytime because of this. Third parties are still free to try if you and your friends are looking for a fun hobby to do together.

    That sucks, do you have a link for that?

  4. I really just want an early light weight F-16A Blk15, or F-16A ADF.

    The future of DCS is 1970s-1980s, with the planes we have and the plane we have coming, thats going to be the most interest era to play.

    Please just give me an F-16 that fits that era. Just rip out the screens and throw in a few more steam gauges and lighten it up.

  5. I'm just sitting here wanting an F-15A to go at it with everything we have now and have coming along, Mig-29A, F-14A, Mig-23MLA, Mirage F1, Mirage 2000, F-8, Mig-21, F-5,  F-4 and F-104 (maybe)

     

    That Fox 1 era is going to be the most complete and fleshed out area DCS is going to have.

  6. This may have been brought up before but I just stumbled across this article

    Great read, aside from some of sabre rattling towards the end.

    I did find the part about achieving radar locks at 50-60+nm on Su-30's pretty interesting, the KLJ-7 seems to punch above its weight for how small the antenna is.
