This. Bignewy recently emphasized elsewhere the modding community is an importantly part of DCS. That, and the fact that ED just released the template, makes me believe they are just slow in rolling out the livery solution for the remastered F-5.

This is my only reservation. I'd have preferred them work on any number of other jets (shout-out to the F-8 Crusader! I love you, man!) but I can see the F-35 will likely have more sale potential, especially with new players. I know I'll buy it just out of habit.

The Sparrowhawk Tomcat? I'm betting it's planned but not yet announced.

I would assume it would have the fantasy physics of the fantasy world that it’s in. The ships would behave as they do in the movies, but look as good as the latest modules do in DCS.

Actually, a spinoff game called Digital Space Combat Simulator, built to the same standards as DCS, would be an immense hit, I think. I’d buy it in a second.

THIS! SOMEONE needs to develop a Mirage III. My guess is that it would be nearly as profitable as the F-4.

Thanks for the clarification.

Trimmed for AOA? On-speed trim at 250KIAS?

As has already been said above, fly AOA not airspeed. If the mission is designed properly, it will be grading you on AOA when it says you're fast.

Would someone who’s seeing this ballooning or excessive nose up post a track demonstrating it?

Here is a track of gear and flaps being lowered at 250 knots. Flaps go straight to Full. Hornet landing config 250 knots.trk

You balloon lowering gear and flaps at 250 kts?

Sales. A lot of us will buy it even without assets.

Was this a post-production modification, then? Did the Su-25 originally have a brake lever on the stick?

Looking at it again, I think you’re right

It’s not? What is it then? I always assumed it was an abbreviation for Sukhoi. Like “MiG” is for Mikoyan and Gurevich. Now it just needs a proper ADI.

FWIW I just tried a quick instant action with a clean Hornet. Gear down at 250kts followed by full flaps did not result a pitch up of any kind. It was quite stable in level flight. Update: There is a gentle nose up movement as the jet slows to on-speed, but it quickly settles back even with no trim input.

300 knots? Just a reminder the gear and flaps should be lowered at 250 or below.

That makes sense since I don't use those. Thanks

Interesting. Where was this originally posted?

I'm not sure there would be a lot of demand for the S-3 as a paid module.

Well, it is better than it was but still needs more work. The good news is ED has acknowledged that.

Sorry, I probably accidentally deleted the “B” when I deleted the rest of your post.

Pilots I've heard interviewed, who flew both the Phantom and Tomcat, are unanimous in their opinion that the Phantom was much easier to bring aboard.
