What kind of a question is that? Of course I would, assuming of course that it is at the same level as the other DCS modules.

The Starfighter has always been on my "want to fly" list.

 

It would pretty much need to be PFM, if it's going to be supersonic, however.

 

It's my understanding that the aerodynamic models didn't handle supersonic flight until the F-15 and S-27 PFMs.

It would be an interesting aircraft to have certainly. I dread the idea of landing it though :p

 

Aye and also those of us awaiting the EE Lightning, that is also going to be fun to get back on the ground

What is EFM?

 

External Flight Model (EFM). Used by our partner developers, the EFM uses only a part of PFM - rigid body physics and contact model. What forces and moments are applied to this rigid body from aerodynamics and any other sources except the contact forces is up to EFM developer.

This vote is for the Starfighter. I don't think I would have one over other favorite planes like the Thud but if it was produced I would buy it

not another outdated, outclassed bird... we have F-86 and that is as good. Lets try and get the F/A-18C / E into DCS, then we can worry about old birds/choppers...

AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS

 

Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower. Open triangle is AWACS, closed triangle is your own sensors. Double dash is friendly, Single dash is enemy. Circle is friendly. Strobe is jammer. Strobe to dash is under 35 km. HDD is 7 times range key. Radar to 160 km, IRST to 10 km. Stay low, but never slow.

there are soooo many kickass jets out there..

 

question is, who will take the time to build them all??

 

just think.. if they can make it so 3rd party devs can just "plug and chug" values in to fields and out pops an EFM, that would be great (like what they do in "survey sims"/WarThunder)

 

but i have a feeling that's "not the way this works - that's not how any of this works"

I do enjoy my manned missiles. I'd gladly pick up an F-104 to go along with the MiG-21. That said, it isn't very high on my wishlist. It is definitely on it, but there are a lot of other things I'd prefer if given a choice.

I, for one, would love to see an AIM-104 Missile-with-a-man-in-it.

 

To me it represents a time when they were heavily experimenting with the best way to get good supersonic performance. A lot of the designs of that time looked very different from one another and had very unique handling characteristics. This reminds me a lot of a paper airplane competition...

I wouldn't buy it, don't like it.

I'd much prefer the F-105. Saw a heck of a lot more action I understand, drops a heck of a lot of bombs, and actually shot down Migs in North Vietnam (24.5 vs 0 for the F-104)! :) plus the 'G' variant could actually do SEAD missions.

If i would have enough money to invest on DCS module right now i'll probably want to fly this beauty !

Honestly if i had have enough money i would probably buy every aircraft and even if it will took time, learn to fly them all, but like everyone point out, this manned missile will be nice/fun to have !
