Anyone else absolutely love flying planes that dont really fly themselves? Like they are a stable craft but still require you to watch all your instruments, Ie planes between 50s-70s. I just love those sort. Also anyone else really really want to see a vulcan bomber in this game? Such a beautiful plane.

Vulcan, no.

Too complex, too many systems, too many crew members etc.

But the English Electric lightning, yes.

And lo, Reverend Vegas did say "Take forth unto the infidel the mighty GAU 8 and expend its holy 30MM so that freedom will be brung upon them who knoweth not the joys of BBBBBBBRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRTTTTTTTTTT"

Says he with a MiG-21 in his avatar! I'd not come over to the UK and say the Vulcan is ugly. There was a huge fund raising exercise to put one back into the air here, and let's just say it has become a national icon in the past few years.

 

The Lightning is of course just a twin pack of engines with wings and a tail bolted on - but jeez what power it had!

 

I personally would love to see the Vulcan added to the inventory here, but VEAO got very little enthusiasm from the Vulcan Trust, so they dropped it like a hot potato. The Lightning - is on their list, so there is a good chance we'll see it someday.

50s-80s aircraft, that's also the period I'm currently most interested to have in DCS, well a bit more 60s-70s in my case actually.

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

Ironically I think the wing profiles would be better off swapped. The Vulcan has too much wing area for a bomber and the Lightning has too little for a fighter.

both would be great, the Vulcan would stop me playing the game tho lol i would just sit it on the runway and stare at it all day,,,occasionally i would run it down the runway to hear the famous HOWL
