Alicatt Posted September 11, 2019 Posted September 11, 2019 there are so many AC more interresting than this Depends on whom you are asking, the only aircraft that would have caused me to hesitate slightly between the Lightning and the other, we already have in the shape of the F-14. So as we already have that then it is the Lightning hands down most interesting aircraft to have next. Yeah, Yeah I know I'm biased, but the Lightning is still the one aircraft I most desire to have in DCS. Sons of Dogs, Come Eat Flesh Clan Cameron
Hummingbird Posted September 11, 2019 Author Posted September 11, 2019 there are so many AC more interresting than this I strongly & respectfully disagree. Since the F-4E, F-8 & F-16 are all confirmed, the latter being near completion, I cannot think of a more interesting aircraft to have after these than the EE Lightning. And I'm Danish btw, so no nationalistic bias here, I just recognize an awesome aircraft when I see (& study) it.

It was built in much larger numbers and was used in significantly more air forces than the rather exotic Lightning.
Random Posted September 12, 2019 Posted September 12, 2019 How about the F-104? It was built in much larger numbers and was used in significantly more air forces than the rather exotic Lightning. Absolutely would love an F104. One if the early ones with the downward ejection please. I have a thing for manned missiles! F104, Mig 21, Lightning etc Not related to your post norbot but I'm always puzzled by some people's hostility towards any suggestion for a module that is't one they personally like. My attitude: if the data is available and a developer wants to do it it would be a welcome addition. If it's something a bit odd and flawed all the better.
Hummingbird Posted September 12, 2019 Author Posted September 12, 2019 How about the F-104? It was built in much larger numbers and was used in significantly more air forces than the rather exotic Lightning. Well like I said I recognize awesome aircraft, the F-104 was anything but awesome IMHO. Fast yes, but absolute rubbish in most other aspects. Worst aircraft Denmark ever deployed, and it didn't have a very charming reputation in Germany either.
eatthis Posted September 12, 2019 Posted September 12, 2019 Pretty sure the Lightning Preservation Group would be eager to help... live aircraft too so think of all those lovely authentic sounds that could be recorded! YES!!!! 7700k @5ghz, 32gb 3200mhz ram, 2080ti, nvme drives, valve index vr

Fast yes, but absolute rubbish in most other aspects. Worst aircraft Denmark ever deployed, and it didn't have a very charming reputation in Germany either. The F-104 was based at our local airbase before they transitioned to F-16s, we even have a F-104 on the end of a pole stuck in the middle of a roundabout here. I'm not adverse to having other aircraft and am quite looking forward to seeing the F-16 in game even though it is a different model than the ones that routinely disturb my mornings ;) There was one team doing a F-104 module for DCS but they stopped a while back. Still, I would love nothing better than a Lightning, preferably one of the export models with the ground attack capability as well as the air to air. Now, I must transfer my VHS LPG videos to digital, they have been gathering dust in the cellar for too long :) Sons of Dogs, Come Eat Flesh Clan Cameron

A big dream is to at some point be dogfighting MiG-21 & MiG-19's in a DCS EE Lightning module :pilotfly: Edited September 12, 2019 by Hummingbird

norbot Posted September 29, 2019 Posted September 29, 2019 After watching a few videos about the Lightning and having read some articles about it, I can only say - a very extraordinary aircraft. It would be nice to be able to fly her one day in DCS. :thumbup:
