So this is a plane that I would think would be very much welcome into the DCS community. It was a very unique aircraft for its day and it still is very unique now. One of its defining and most distinguishable features would be the 2 engines stacked on top of one another as seen below:

It was mainly designed as a bomber intercepter but could also combat with other aircraft. The aircraft also has two 30mm cannons and two hard points for either carrying two air to air missiles, both the De Havilland Firestreak and the Hawker Siddeley Red Top, or it could carry two over the top fuel tanks as visible here:

There is many surviving examples of this aircraft all over the world giving many oportunities to study the jet and make it possible. I believe this aircraft would bring great competition for both the Mig-21 and F-5 as well as the up and coming Mirage III.

Hopefully this aircraft could become avalible some day! :D :thumbup:

It's on VEAOs to do list, and I agree, it will make an excellent module in DCS World.

 

Oh dude, I like totally didn't notice it, and I've gone threw that thread like 3 times.
