Friedrich-4B Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Let's have both the Lysander and Storch and have a battle of the liaisons - imagine a slow dogfight between a Lysander and Storch... :pilotfly: After which add the Po-2?

El Hadji Posted April 4, 2014 Author Share Posted April 4, 2014 I have forked out tons of money for FS9 and FSX aircraft over the years. I can't see how adding unarmed planes or even civilian would hurt the DCS series from a financial standpoint. Especially if 3rd party devs steps in... Surely I'm not the only flight sim buff that enjoy the actual flying just as much, if not more, as the combat.

bongodriver Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Besides, the Lysander actually had forward firing guns and bomb racks on some variants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, FSX is an awful simulator in terms of flight modelling, DCS is brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Team NineLine Posted April 4, 2014 ED Team Share Posted April 4, 2014 A lot of you have good ideas for DCS WW2 to commit commercial suicide. Transports, spotters, gliders, and aircraft that mostly flew at night are not how you begin a WW2 flight sim. For goodness sake, the Westland Lysander looks like a 1940s Cessna 172. I dunno, flying a transport, dropping paratroopers, heavy flak going off.... sounds pretty exciting to me. Anyways, it doesnt have to be RRG to do these, these could be great aircraft for 3rd Party groups to cut their teeth on.

Try landing a Lyslander under fire from ground forces to resucre a downed pilot.... It is pure fun to me.... :pilotfly: 487th Squadron Section Leader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mortifa Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 This and a Storch would be awesome and needed as both were used for artillery. Fate is inexorable... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firmek Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I have forked out tons of money for FS9 and FSX aircraft over the years. I can't see how adding unarmed planes or even civilian would hurt the DCS series from a financial standpoint. Especially if 3rd party devs steps in... Surely I'm not the only flight sim buff that enjoy the actual flying just as much, if not more, as the combat. The DCS environment is a bit different. There aren't so many 3D party developers and those that are out there are already having a long lists of planned projects for a few years ahead. The development cycle of a single planes in DCS seems to require investing a lot of time and resources. Of course the more content then better, I wouldn't mind any aircraft, just wouldn't buy it if not interested. There are however probably a lot of other planes that would trigger wider interest and be more applicable in DCS environment than the Lysander. In everyone’s interest should be that the 3'rd party dev companies are growing. Investing time in not so much popular plane with limited applicability will not yield a great revenue numbers. At the end of a day, you can also enjoy purely the flying in any of DCS modules (apart of some of FC ones). Take a Spitfire for a sightseeing flight or fly in any of the trainers. Aside of a great flight model, those planes have however much more to offer. F/A-18, F-16, F-14, M-2000C, A-10C, AV-8B, AJS-37 Viggen, F-5E-3, F-86F, MiG-21bis, MiG-15bis, L-39 Albatros, C-101 Aviojet, P-51D, Spitfire LF Mk. IX, Bf 109 4-K, UH-1H, Mi-8, Ka-50, NTTR, Normandy, Persian Gulf... and not enough time to fully enjoy it all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mortifa Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Well in DCS we do have helicopters and those were not in very active service in WWII. The artillery observation planes that were used, the Storch, Lysander and that little one the US used would be good additions. Two of them, that I am aware of, had other roles. The Storch would be used for medivacs and the Lysander was used in covert ops. Both the Lysander and the Storch used short runways. Fate is inexorable...

Hawkeye60 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 The artillery observation planes that were used, the Storch, Lysander and that little one the US used would be good additions. We have a Storch! A couple of versions. See here, https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=181023 "Yeah, and though I work in the valley of Death, I will fear no Evil. For where there is one, there is always three. I preparest my aircraft to receive the Iron that will be delivered in the presence of my enemies. Thy ALCM and JDAM they comfort me. Power was given unto the aircrew to make peace upon the world by way of the sword. And when the call went out, Behold the "Sword of Stealth". And his name was Death. And Hell followed him. For the day of wrath has come and no mercy shall be given." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
