Backy 51 Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 I can see your bleached bones in Nevada now ... ;) Nope no interest at all.. If I want to just tool around and sight see there are several offerings (The HAWK being my favorite) that already fit this bill nicely.. I would rather the focus and work be placed on F-18, F-14, Typhoon, Cobra, Hind etc... If all the major airframes were to be programmed, then I would say OK to civilian planes, buit at the rate it takes to complete a DCS level module, I will be long DEAD before that happens.. (That was not a dig at the developers at all, just a reality check regarding the amount of work involved and the time it takes to program these things and to do it right..) Nope no Cessna for me .. I don't need no stinkin' GPS! (except for PGMs :D) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
USSInchon Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 I would have to agree, civil aircraft do have a place in DCS now, especially since Las Vegas is now a thing, and the UAE is coming up as well. the UAE has 2 of the 3 largest Middle East airlines at Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

BRAVO_16 Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 Just the other day I thought to myself how great it would be if I could fly a Cessna 172 in DCS. Maintain thy airspeed lest the ground rise up and smite thee!
WildBillKelsoe Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 I'd love to see a C337 Birddawg in DCS. Has the twin engines, so works well with the TMWH. A C172 is also welcome. 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.
McBlemmen Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 No , for the same reason as Outlawal2 stated. It just takes way too long for DCS planes to be developed that i'd much rather have them focus on something useful instead.

Skjold Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 No thanks, it is called Digital Combat Simulator for a reason.
Nevyn Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 If it flies, I want it. Would be cool to have some civ planes flying around. I reckon somebody must do a few bi-planes from world war I. They had this fancy bomb release technology back then, it will be a challenge to for any dev to model those systems, the A-10C has nothing on them old bi-planes when it comes to delivering ordinance.
JPS2K Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 The only way I'd want a Cessna in DCS is if it's a target for my cannons...
NeilWillis Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 I think the bottom line is whether you'd prefer a Cessna to whatever alternative airframe would be the focus of the resources needed to implement it. The same goes for the idea of detailed cityscapes in NTTR. Would it be good, maybe, but it wouldn't exactly top my list of must haves. Would I prefer something more suited to the war zone that DCS World is meant to be? Definitely.
TonyZ Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 (edited) Once again.... the original poster pretty much specified that this idea was NOT JUST CIVILIAN ONLY! He was talking about armed scouts as well as low and slow armed ground support. As well as combat JTAC or ATC with the capability of carrying rockets and small bombs as well as marker flares and WP rockets. These planes have been used in the combat zone almost since they were invented so saying they are civilian only and dismissing them because they are not supersonic jets is very shortsighted and limiting for the Sim in general.

Blairvoyach Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 I'd definitely be up for a Cessna O-2 Skymaster (as a military version of a civvie A/C) or a Bronco but what I really REALLY want is the wonderful A-1 Skyraider, that I would pay serious cash for a DCS version.
Sleuth Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 Just to rub some more salt in the open wound of a civilian plane being included within DCS. Here is a photo I took today at the Koksijde Fly-in of a civilian plane in military colours. I happen to know a pilot who flew one of these during the Vietnam War. No prizes for guessing who made it, and which model/designation it is! If in doubt look at some of the earlier posts :D I cannot get the photo to upload, so if any one can tell me what I am doing wrong, I would be grateful.

I don't think people are dismissing the cessna because of not being a jet or not supersonic (now thats shortsighted). It's just a matter of taste and expectations about the sim. I would personaly prefer a super-tucano (or similar) over a cessna (anyway, which model are we talking about??). If we're not talking about a propeller, high wing aircraft, then yes, I would definitely go for an A-37 Dragonfly :D Edited July 4, 2015 by PiedDroit

TomOnSteam Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 I'd probably never get one unless I was going for a license but, I think it's a good idea to get more people into DCS - nobody should have to fly virtual aircraft in other flight sims that can't get their frame rates over 30fps..... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cockpit Spectator Mode
Sukhoi25 Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 (edited) Civil Aviation Wish List Hi to all and good night. First i would ask to all here if you think if small civil (e.g. Cessna 172 Skyhawk, Piper J-3 Cub) or semi-civil (e.g. Cessna 0-1/L-19 Bird Dog) would have a chance to live and survive (in all ways also on battle field. Because, try to imagine a SA-15 Gauntlet vs O-1: No Way!!! :eek::huh:)in DCS. I explain myself: would you buy a module like that? The 0-1 can carry two HVAR rockets so its quite military :megalol: because modelling a small aircraft is easier that a fighter so. But if community answers positively i could try something like that. :D Edited July 9, 2015 by Sukhoi25 Bye, SU AMD FX-8350 @ 4.0 GHz, GIGABYTE (AMD) Radeon R9 280X Series @ 3GB Video, ATI Radeon / Realtek HD SoundCard, GIGABYTE FX-990GAUD Motherboard, Samsung 840EVO SSD @ 120GB, WD Caviar Blue @ 1TB
