QuiGon Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 The Viggen seems indeed pretty reasonable. Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!
Skjold Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Nothing of the "mini-update" disqualifies Viggen as a candidate, yay.

Skjold Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 (edited) "New or unique methods of propulsion or force distribution" Maybe a Harrier? :joystick: Yep, that is indeed a real candidate. It was also operated by the Black Sheep squadron (Cobras avatar). The Black Sheep's also operated the F4U Corsair. They did say that one of their planes would be related to their namesake (Leatherneck, nickname of Marines). I think the hints so far is Duck (Vigg=Tufted Duck, Viggen= The Tufted Duck), Swedish Air Force Emblem (Cobra Avatar), RB 04E anti-ship missile (Cobra Avatar, used operationally on the Viggen), Ground Radar (PS-37 used on both AJ-37 and AJS-37 Viggen variants), "Complex missiles with Advanced Targeting Parameters" RB-04E would fit to that description, as it is a sea skimming missile. "New or unique methods of propulsion or force distribution" Thrust Reverser on the Viggen to support it's STOL capability. So, my bet is still on the Viggen. Edited September 3, 2015 by Skjold

LevelPulse Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 NEW AIRCRAFT ARE THE F-4 PHANTOM AND HELLCAT(?) So i went on http://www.leatherneck-sim.com/dcs-mig-21/ and was looking at the pictures when i spotted the F-4 Phantom: http://www.leatherneck-sim.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Contact_Background4.jpg I then decided to add numbers and found the Hellcat(?): http://www.leatherneck-sim.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Contact_Background9.jpg� [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Director | Team Coordinator ME-163B Project The DCS Modding Hub Discord PC Specs: Intel I7 8700k 4.7Ghz Gigabyte Aorus Ultra Gaming Z370 Motherboard 16GB Corsair Vengeance DDR4 3000MHz Ram 500GB Samsung Evo 850 SSD
GeorgeLKMT Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Who knows. They already said that these images are not indicative of anything. And that F-4 image is from Milviz (FSX). ■ L-39C/ZA Czech cockpit mod ■ My DCS skins ■
Solty Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 (edited) It is an F4 Wilcat and F4 Phantom II, they also have P38 and F6F Hellcat So... I wouldn't take it as any sign. Also... Phantom more complex than F-14? Edited September 2, 2015 by Solty [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]In 21st century there is only war and ponies.

LevelPulse Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 So some other speculation is that Cobra's avatar is a "The Black Sheep". There was as squadron called VMA-21, aka, the black sheep. They flew, Corsairs, F4F Wildcat, Harriers so who knows.

Solty Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 If they are creating F4 Wildcat its wierd. Why? Because VEAO is making one too. So we will have two Wildcats?!?!?!:huh: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]In 21st century there is only war and ponies. My experience: Jane's attack squadron, IL2 for couple of years, War Thunder and DCS.

Sporg Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 (edited) Some more points for the Viggen: -- Currently we have three separate theaters in development, one of which we have previously announced and will be released together with the F-14. The other two are slated for release either with, or directly after the release of our other two aircraft. All three are very unique and don't really have a lot in common. -- Thus, we hope to avoid aircraft that are 'misplaced' in the wrong theater and environment. Naturally, the main campaign for each module will take place in their respective theater. -- Unique theaters, and so that the aircraft don't feel "misplaced". Viggen was only used by the Swedish airforce. ;) As mentioned in a previous update, both of these aircraft (just like the F-14) have required us to develop new in-house technologies and components. -- Custom shaders for enhanced visual fidelity (e.g. CRT Screen representation) Far more complex avionic and computer systems than in the MiG-21 New and unique PFM features and aerodynamic configurations The Viggen used a Swedish developed advanced flight and targeting computer. This was in order to get rid of the navigator (RIO/WSO type) which would otherwise have been needed. It had a CRT radar monitor. And it has fixed canards with flaps/flaperons or what you will call it, as opposed to fully movable canards like on SU-33. (not SU-27 as previously stated). Plus of course the mentioned Thrust reverser. So will be exciting to see what they eventually come up with. :) Edited September 2, 2015 by Sporg System specs: Gigabyte Aorus Master, i7 9700K@std, GTX 1080TI OC, 32 GB 3000 MHz RAM, NVMe M.2 SSD, Oculus Quest VR (2x1600x1440) Warthog HOTAS w/150mm extension, Slaw pedals, Gametrix Jetseat, TrackIR for monitor use
WinterH Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Those images have been there since before the MiG-21 was even released. This is about 8th or so thread/post about them and, for all we know so far, they are not related to next modules at all. If I recall correctly Cobra said so himself once. Wishlist: F-4E Block 53 +, MiG-27K, Su-17M3 or M4, AH-1F or W circa 80s or early 90s, J35 Draken, Kfir C7, Mirage III/V DCS-Dismounts Script
lokodehortaleza Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 I'm quite sure that we won't need 350-400 pages of manual for WWII-era aircraft. DCS: B-29 Superfortess :music_whistling:
mattebubben Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 (edited) And it has fixed canards with flaps/flaperons or what you will call it, as opposed to fully movable canards like on SU-27. Su-27 Dose not have Canards :unsure: The Su-33 does aswell as some Su-30 variants. Fully movable Canards are however becoming rather common. Jas 39 Gripen Eurofighter Rafael J-10 etc. I also think these last info points towards the Saab 37. My hope would be the AJS-37 (Updated variant instead of the older AJ-37) Dream would ofc be the fighter JA-37 with Amramms and very advanced datalink but that dose not fit since its a fighter version and thus does not have any Air-Ground Radar modes.

Sorry, my bad about SU-27. It's the SU-33. But anyway, new thing with fixed canards. And agree about the AJS-37 version of Viggen, if it is supposed to have A-G radar mode.

Kilrah Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Could it be the Tornado? Reverse thrust and Air to Ground radar aswell? ASUS Z370, i7 8086K @ 5,2 Ghz, ASUS Strix GTX 1080, 16GB Ram, TM HOTAS Warthog, TrackIR 5, Saitek combat rudders, 25" 1440p monitor, Oculus Rift
Bidartarra Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Could it be the Tornado? Reverse thrust and Air to Ground radar aswell? That would be sweet
wormeaten Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 I think F4 is logical step and pair for Mig 21 as well as middle east map with Syria, Jordan, Egypt and Israel. Even perfect for F14 on who LN already working.
QuiGon Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Could it be the Tornado? Reverse thrust and Air to Ground radar aswell? That would be super awesome, since it's my most favorit AC ever, but I highly doubt it. VEAO is going to make that one happen. The given clues fit better to the Viggen or maybe the Harrier. Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!

Bullfrog_ Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Isn´t Razbam supposed to make the Harrier? I believe so
J7G Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 It is an F4 Wilcat and F4 Phantom II, they also have P38 and F6F Hellcat So... I wouldn't take it as any sign. Also... Phantom more complex than F-14? All those steam powered systems I'd imagine would be more complex to model than the F14? I don't think it's a Phantom but Phuck me would I be a Pleased Phanatic if it were!
