Python Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 We'd all buy it being mostly British here, but I'd be interested to here how other nations feel about such aircraft? The Jaguar may not be so well known, but surely the Bucc is pretty popular, if not as high profile as the lightning. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
chev255 Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 Being French I know the Jaguar! and would probably buy Regarding the Bucc, not so interested (give me a F-111 or Mirage IV instead!)
joey45 Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 Well, do it as an FC side project and if / when depend is high enough do a DCS level update..... Or not..... The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Python Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 Well, do it as an FC side project and if / when depend is high enough do a DCS level update..... Or not..... That actually isn't a bad idea. Full DCS modules are of course preferable, but the F-15c has provided me with as much entertainment as any of the full on modules. I would be happy to see more aircraft at that level and with the potential for more updates down the line. But we're pushing our luck here now lol, Pman and Ells have enough on their plate. So, that Gnat. :music_whistling: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
7rooper Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 I would buy in a heartbeat!! The Jaguar is the symbol of the attack coalition in the Gulf War. I really want it as a DCS plane!

The Jaguar may not be so well known, but surely the Bucc is pretty popular, if not as high profile as the lightning. In my circle of acquaintances, only the diehard plane enthusiasts know the Bucc. I only got to know about it because I bought an aviation magazine (years ago) that had a bucc on the front cover .. then I read up on it a bit more .. it's certainly got character in spades! I used to fly a Bucc in FlightGear as well .. felt good, but incomplete systems .. "A true 'sandbox flight sim' requires hi-fidelity flyable non-combat utility/support aircraft."

Maybe not, did you know of the Jaguar more so? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Darkwolf Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 The Jaguar is popular in France too. It's one of those i badly need to see in DCS. However, I can understand VEAO concern. Previous modules did sell well because they were only a couple per year maximum. Now, customer have choice. "everyone is going to get it" is no longer happening. They'll still be a lot of "collectors" around to buy everything :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] PC simulator news site. Also....Join the largest DCS community on Facebook :pilotfly:
Stratos Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 I would buy in a heartbeat!! The Jaguar is the symbol of the attack coalition in the Gulf War. I really want it as a DCS plane! Agree 100%, those Jaguars painted in Desert Pink with the Sidewinders over the wing are a must have!! I don't understand anything in russian except Davai Davai!
chaos Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 I, for one, am quite happy that VEAO are not 'doing' a Jag :-) "It's not the years, honey. It's the mileage..."
Ells228 Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 Well, do it as an FC side project and if / when depend is high enough do a DCS level update..... Or not..... Actually there is little to no difference in doing an FC level aircraft as all the ASM systems still need to be coded, so wouldn't save that much dev time.
Flying Penguin Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 I, for one, am quite happy that VEAO are not 'doing' a Jag :-) Yeah, they have awfully sharp claws and aren't particularly inclined to snuggle afterwards...... *gets coat* :music_whistling: Per Ardua Ad Aquarium :drink: Specs: Intel i7-9700K, GTX 2080TI, 32GB DDR4, ASUS ROG Strix Z390-E, Samsung 970 EVO NVMe M.2
Ells228 Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 Get em on their back and tickle their belly and they purrrrr like a puddy tat!!
Pman Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 As Chris touched upon we do not look at projects where we couldnt or wouldnt do a full DCS ASM/PFM version. So no FC level version of anything for us. As much as I'd love to do everything sometimes its not always feasible. Perhaps it might be something I revisit in the future but for the time being it isnt on our lists Pman
Ells228 Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 As much as I'd love to do everything sometimes its not always feasible. Or in my budget ;)
Teapot Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 (edited) Couple of issues with it, one being access to an airframe without agreement from the RAF. Second is I am not sure if we would sell enough to warrant the dev cost to be brutally honest. ... its not on our current plans Pman :smilewink: (yeah right Pman .. gotcha mate, nudge, nudge, wink .. <snort> .. as if .. haha) The question of commerical viability remains though, considering the cost of putting an aircraft into DCS Pman :huh: (orright mate .. good joke .. lets move on now heh and quit the jive?) Sorry Guys, No harm in wishing I guess, but its not in our plans, either roadmapped or my extended list. Pman :( (THE DAWNING OF REALIZATION ... does he REALLY mean it? Or does NO really mean YES?) It's also alot more simple then a Jag with a much shorter Dev cycle. :cry: (Oh no! No means 'NO' .. Say yes .. puhlease..) As much as I'd love to do everything sometimes its not always feasible. Perhaps it might be something I revisit in the future but for the time being it isnt on our lists Pman Soo ... I guess what you're really trying to tell us is ... you're not doing a Jag? :noexpression: Tarnation! Why didn't you JUST TELL US already?! :mad: Or in my budgie Budgie? You've got a budgie? You're modelling a budgie? The budgie ate the plans? What's a budgie got to do with the Jag .. did the budgie eat the puddy tat? . . . :megalol: Edited September 17, 2014 by Teapot "A true 'sandbox flight sim' requires hi-fidelity flyable non-combat utility/support aircraft."

Noj Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Some aircraft share enough systems etc to be able to mitigate some of the development cost. It's also alot more simple then a Jag with a much shorter Dev cycle. This is the case with the Sea Hawk, however as per the disclaimer things can change and if after closer assessment during the development process it is deemed unviable then the project will have to be reviewed. Pman I know an entire FS community that would probably move to DCS if the Seahawk was released as a DCS level module. Many of them are retired (like me! :) )and have lots of time on their hands.
