Welcome to DCS, I recommend you to take a look here https://forum.dcs.world/forum/144-squadron-recruiting/

You know too well

0:40 I am traumatised

Laughs in KA-50 Blackshark 3. Also dont forget that with every sale, ED also get some money. And we all know how much a new redfor plane is wanted. Especially by the chinese DCS community.

Now its offical

Apperently, the J-8II was planned way before 2017. "Китайская команда разрабатывает истребитель J-8II. В будущем команда хочет стать официальным сторонним разработчиком DCS." "The Chinese team is developing the J-8II fighter. In the future, the team wants to become the official third-party developer of DCS."

Thats actually how the real Eurofighter is. Its a frankjet as well. Each nation got their Eurofighter in the configuration they want and they can upgrade and or downgrade many parts of it as much as they want. Its extreme modular platform.

Nope. ED also confiremed that when they released BS1 that it never got iglas

The one with Iglas at least didnt

To be honest, I dont see why its a big deal. Same airframe just with different avionics. Its like a PC with different hardware. Its pretty normal in general aviation that people put anything they want into their cockpit and its kinda the same here with the J-8PP. The documentation exist for the avionics and we see that they have been installed in the aircraft at some point. It wont make the aircraft fly different from other J-8II But they could have installed a better RWR other than the SPO-10 you see in the top left corner

Same reason why we have the Ka-50 Black Shark 3 that never existed. To make money and to open "what if" scenarios

No they dont. Deka Ironworks (JF-17) tried and failed.

Rastercarts seem to break IC now. Got kicked for that right when someone fire a missile at me and now I look like a reslotter

Apperently it was fixed with the latest open beta

please show

Correct me if I am wrong but doesnt the F-86 Sabre in DCS have some ancient Aim-9 ? Also who knows what missiles the F-4, F-8, A-7 that are in devlopment brings If I remember correctly, the Aim-4 Falon was confirmed for the F-4

Because its much easier to implement a low fidelity radar than a high fidelity one into a mod Lol what ?

Mhmmm https://stormbirds.blog/2021/05/05/rumours-suggest-that-su-30mkk-may-be-dekas-next-project/ It was btw posted on the ED discord, no Deka doesnt have a own discord becaus Discord is banned in China lol.

I mean, Deka has realeased their detailed flight manual for the JF-17. To bad its chinese and that the english version isnt out yet.

Sadly it was just the FC-3 MiG-29 with a deafult Poland livery.
