The FLIR preview has been in there for more than a some months it's more like a year...

I'm fairly sure a year has some months in it...

 

/EDIT

Sorry I just responded that way because I get a bit sick and tired of people just trying to find every little way they can to tell others they're wrong.  Don't take it personally Joey45.  You probably didn't quite mean it that simply.  Maybe it's been there for a year...  I don't know.  What I do know though is that pointing out something like this, that doesn't actually matter, only serves to divide, belittle and separate.  We need less of that in this world IMO.

Also, a lot of people just find steam gauges, iron bombs, and getting up-close and NoE to hit your target more interesting than punching in coordinates and dropping murder bots from 30k ft, 20nm away

Hi all,    we have made it very clear the date is subject to change, internal testing continues and if we need more time we will take it, I think most of you want 2.7 to be the best it can b

I'm sorry to nitpick, but DCS is so much more than a game ... it's the best flight Simulator available to consumers 🙂

IT'S SO BORING

Show something that's not an American vehicle all I ever see is F-16, F-18, AH-64, etc. 

You should explain to Ed how to get governmental permissions, manufacturer licensing, avionics, mechanical, and test data, for those other aircraft. I'm sure they would buy you a beer.

It's not like only America and Russian produce planes...

I'm English, I'd love some RAF/Navy jets, but I wonder how many other people would buy.....

But fundamentally being able to get enough information and permission is going to be the biggest problem with jets from all nations....

Along with viability to make money.

If they do a popular aircraft, I'm willing to bet that plenty of cold war fans would purchase one ... I'd kill to have a Hawker Hunter or a DeHavilland Vampire ... those were widely exported, so that increases their appeal. The EE Lightning is attractive, but it's mostly air-air and with few users it is likely to be less popular than the other two.

 

More modern, the Panavia Tornado would be an instant best seller too.

Funnily enough, whilst flying the other night, we were talking about the Tornado, wondering what would be the best version to do.

If I could have any aircraft made of my choice, hands down it would be the DeHavilland Hornet, the best looking and in the conversation of top 3 prop planes ever made performance wise. Alas I know will never be in a flight sim, although there is some vague hope that one might fly again in real life....

On my case, I love mission editing so I prefer aircrafts that have a wide war combat background, so for a twin engine, WW2 type, I'd rather have the P-38, ME-110 or the ME-262. For cold war aircraft I prefer types that were widely exported, so that I can have a wider variety of user countries.

Lol, I was being purely hypothetical and ultimate dream plane, not what I think should be considered re props and WWII in reality!

WWII is getting better, but still a mess. If the 109 was a G variant (mid 1944 flavour, take your pic which one, the designations get very overlapping) rather than a K, the plane set would make so much more sense. A P38 J or L would fit well. Also the 262, but experience tells me doesn't go well online lol.

The Sea Vampire never used that missile, only AA weapon were its 4 guns, besides the Fireflash was a RAF missile.

The only armed RN fighters was Sea Vixen with Red Top and Firestreaks, Phantoms FG.1 with AIM-7 and AIM-9, Sea Harrier with AIM-120 and AIM-9, and the actual F-35 with AIM-120 and AIM-9.

Whoops I meant Firestreak not Fireflash. British missiles designations are confusing. Even something like the Sea Hawk or Scimitar would be so cool. Also still waiting on Deka's upcoming aircraft. People always talk about Russia but they sleep on China. Can't wait.

I'm pretty sure the Sea Venom FAW.22 had Firestreak capability. Maybe I'm wrong idk.

I dont expected Dekka build a UK aircraft, that required a "approval" and adequate stuff as UK carriers with diferent arresting and launch gear.

Yes, sea Venom carry Firestreak.

I meant that I want Deka to built a Chinese aircraft. Deka was in relation to people always talking about Russia but people sleep on Chinese aviation.
