GGTharos Posted January 14, 2007 Author Posted January 14, 2007 I am hoping that even if the current fighters remains SFM'ed, they'll get ACI'ed (Advanced cockpit instrumentation like Ka-50) You will get an F-16 eventually I'm sure :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda
ericinexile Posted January 14, 2007 Posted January 14, 2007 Back in the 90's, ED introduced Flanker the most amazing sim I had flown to that point. Finally, a combat aircraft that was modeled to actually fly like a jet. As a devotee of the franchise ever since I feel there is only one jet that deserves the next AFM rework: Of course the Su27! Also, someone stated previously on this thread that he had hoped ED would retrograde back to the cold war. I completely agree!!! The modern era, as described to me by friends on the F15C who are contemplating the F22, is not very interesting from a pilot's standpoint. How cool would it be to have a fantasy early '90s Afganistan War with FULL NATO involvement? Hinds, AH1s, Su25s, F16s, Su27s...Could it really get any better!? Smokin' Hole Smokin' Hole My DCS wish list: Su25, Su30, Mi24, AH1, F/A-18C, Afghanistan ...and frankly, the flight sim world should stop at 1995.
GGTharos Posted January 14, 2007 Author Posted January 14, 2007 Yeah well. 'That community' will have to live with LP's next sim, Fighter Ops, and ED's F-16. They can take their hatred and shove it :D [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda
Stealth_HR Posted January 14, 2007 Posted January 14, 2007 MBot I think your impression is right on, and I got the same impression with respect to older aircraft. However I don't see anyone really flying the older aircraft when they'll just get pounded on by more up to date fighters. I think LO's MP sessions could use a very old, very useful option from Red Alert. Tech Level. ;) Set the year, and there you go - nothing more advanced than a MiG-23, for instance.

pho3nix Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 I know i sound like a broken record but... I realy hope ED decides to implement a dedicated prop traning aircraft. Something such as the T-6 Texan II would be awesome. There is already a lot of information about that aircraft out and should be reletivley simple to intergrate into Lockon (or equivelent). Personaly i would like it if they modeled the CT-4b, PC-9A, Hawk Mk127, F/A-18A... I can dream :)
Specter1075 Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 Some of the planes listed would be awesome. I especially like the idea of the SU-24, AH-1 and OH-58. A fighter-bomber with variable geometry wings would be a great change to the current line-up. (Even though it isnt all that likely)
herig2 Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 I know that a lot of pilots would like have the F-14 modeled, but since this aircraft is now retired, would't your resourses be better aimed to actual flying aircraft. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Razi Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 I really appreciate ED's games and their work and I'm really grateful that they persist in making flight sims and continue to support and make expansions. Last thing I want is for another developer to drop out of the flight sim genre. So I'm very happy to even just hear of options for the future. I saw the F-18A or C mentioned and I would love to be able to fly that bird in a well crafted sim, beit in an expansion or a completely serperate game, it doesn't matter to me. Being Canadian, I would love to have a chance to fly the birds that my country has in service. Apart from that the A-10A also interests me, as I've really enjoyed flying it in Lockon as is. Side note: if anyone knows of an F-18 sim they would recommend, I would love hear about it.
S77th-konkussion Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 I am also surprised to see the SU33 categorized as it was... ah well. [sIGPIC]http://forums.eagle.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=43337&d=1287169113[/sIGPIC]

uhoh7 Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 Well the F-16 is the bull to grab by the horns, for sure. IF ED would do the pit up like we see in BS and give it an advanced FM I would faint in happiness and go over to frugals and read the fun. There's alot of reasons to do it, not least of which is how much action this AC has and does see. And an apache would be a great complement to the BS that's for sure. In meantime boys, buckle down and get us a BS release so I can send you my money. E8600 Asus P5E Radeon 4870x2 Corsair 4gb Velociraptor 300gb Neopower 650 NZXT Tempest Vista64 Samsung 30" 2560x1600
MBot Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 That also means that they are going to model much less planes like LOMAC. just 1 per side...or 2? Can they do it? I hope for 1 plane overall. This means all available resources to do this one right, to do AI right, comms right, editor right ... That approach didn't hurt Falcon 4.0, JF-15 or JF-18. Which will coincide with stepped up hatred from certain parts of that particular simming community. Hehe, not without reason I guess, since our small genre will once again be flooded with Viper sims :) Now ED could move back to the cold war 80s and model the F-16A, now that would be something different ;)

MBot Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 I also think it is funny to see Su-25 and Su-25T in category 2 :)
DPS Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 MBot, F-16A; great idea. No point in producing what LP are already doing. An interesting list of aircraft in GGTharos' post though. But seriously, it would be nice to see a result here an get Lock On/BS back on the shelves. I'm sure sales of FC must of tailed off ages ago.
ED Team Groove Posted January 15, 2007 ED Team Posted January 15, 2007 Forget the F-16 - please there is Falcon out there. Take the F-15 E if you go for a US ground punder. But in the end it will be the F-18 i think :( Our Forum Rules: http://forums.eagle.ru/rules.php#en
Prophet Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 I also think it is funny to see Su-25 and Su-25T in category 2 :) Always room for improvement. 6DOF. The radio functions like we will see in Ka50. I am sure there are tons of things left to model on it.
nscode Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 Like being able to remove the targeting gyro so it doesnt obstruct the view when not needed... Never forget that World War III was not Cold for most of us.
Spyros Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 I'd really like the A-7 Corsair and the Mirage 2000. But I think it's better to concentrate on Russian planes, since there are less chances to have them simulated in other games. In contrast, there have been many and there are probably going to be lots of F-18, F-16 etc sims. God forgives... Spyros doesn't.
Kula66 Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 Like being able to remove the targeting gyro so it doesnt obstruct the view when not needed... Is that what that great box is to the right of the HUD! I thought it was a camera!

DarkStar Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 any new info regarding theatre and/or terrain updates? 1
Anytime Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 A couple of strike aircraft that weren"t listed that should be considered in my book: - F-111 (Must be plenty of info available by now); - Tornado; and - A6 - F14 :) Fingers crossed This is NOT a list of what ED /WILL/ do. It is a list of what ED potentially /COULD/ do, so don't look at this and hop on some sort of 'model me this' bandwagon. ED's roadmap is already made up - Ka-50, then a fixed wing, be it the A-10A or F-16 variant. This is Olgerd's list of planes from this post: http://www.forum.lockon.ru/showpost.php?p=281943&postcount=118 The lists of aircraft are as follows: 1. Not gonna happen for 5-10 years 2. Not enough info to model right now, but maybe soon? 3. Aircraft that can be modelled with a reasonable degree of realism. 1. Rafale, Mirage-2000D (2000-5), Eurofighter, F-22A, Gripen, Su-33, Su-24М, MiG-31 (М/BМ), Su-27SМ, A-10C 2. Su-24 (не M), MuG-31 (early versions), Mirage-2000C, Mi-24 , Su-25T (early export version), Su-25, F-14A/B/D, AV-8B, Viggen, Draken 3. МiG-29 (9-12, 9-13, 9-13S, maybe SМТ), Su-27, F-16 (A, C, CG, CJ, CCIP, MLU M1/M2/M3), F-18A (maybe even C), F-15A/B/C/D, F-15E, A-10A (LASTE 4.0, LASTE 6.0, Suite 2), AH-64A/D, AH-1 (different versions), OH-58D
