Those fighters made history, so it's a real shame we don't even have the MiG-21 as an AI plane. :cry: Maybe for LOMAC 2 (or something), somebody might consider giving them a chance?

Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeee :D

I'd love to see a Mig-21 (even non-flyable) ... swarms of Fishbeds v a wall of Eagles!!!

I have the sensation the 15's would loose to the sheer numbers of 21's

I agree, I'd love to see the Fishbed in action since it's one of the main aircraft of the last 40 years. There used to be thousands around the world, it's important as the Phantom.

Yeah, 21 is great. Anyway, making some more of the present planes flyable (as you said 23, and others...) would be great.

 

Not simulated yet:

MiG25 Foxbat

Su-17 Fitter

Mirage2000

F-5 Tiger

 

Already found in other simulators:

Hornet

 

And having two-seat planes flyable MP would kick some

(F15StrikeEagleIII and Hind did it if I'm not amnesic).

Tomcat, Tornado, Phantom, Foxhound,...

so many way to reach ]-[eaven.

I have the feeling that the MiG-21's would go down in droves given that they apparently can't really detect AMRAAMs coming in ... the F-15s just need to stay away and force the MiG-21's to expend their precious little fuel, no? O.o

I've tried 4 Eagles v 12 Floggers ... and usually survive! But these MLDs(?) are not bad ... poor weapon load, both number and quality (The R-60 is soo short range). I can see why Israel has managed to shoot down so many of the export ones flying F-15s!

Well the export ones where a different kind of bird. Baisc same avionics as the Mig21 Bis . Almost same loadouts.

 

But as one wrote here Su17M4 shouln't be too much different then the Su 25 :)

The very basic outline is there for two-seaters in MP, but would require a fair bit of work to be done on them.

 

In any case, big-style new flyables are pretty much out . . . . . which certainly rules out the ones you mention, even if lack of ground radar and other unsupported avionics didn't make them impossible.

 

 

The easiest one to do would be the Su30 - but like I said, it would still require significant recoding and new goodies before it could be done properly.

 

 

In the meantime, though . . . . go to http://www.lockonskins.co.uk, go to Mods, and find the Su27UB.

 

Two seats for MP . . . . there's more detail in the mod itself.

I have to agree with you on the Su 30, the question that is on my mind is what does ED think of the 2 seat MODs ? And would they be considering such an approach for a future add-on? I like the idea of 2 seater multiplayer but I also like 2 seater single player with a toggle switch to jump from front to back seat etc like Janes F-15.

cheers

. . . Well I have to rely on iffy translations, but it was mentioned on the Russian forums.

 

General idea is that the LAN Instructor feature was never intended to do what it's been made to do, but it was a neat trick that it HAD been done, and that it was about the best a member of the community could do . . . . which kind of silenced the "OMFG it's a mutant!!!11!!one!" crowd :wink:

 

To be fair, the first one I did was pretty mutated - but I wanted something I could use to train a mate in carrier landing. The Su27UB is about the best of the lot, and is pretty accurate . . . . with some cockpit texture modding, it would be about right.

 

 

ED have said elsewhere that they DO want to include two-seat functionality in "future projects", and apparently the LAN Instructor mode has been replaced by Internet Instructor in v1.1 . . . . . so things should be mildly improved, at least :wink:

I'd also love to see Mig-21/23 flyable, heck as many different flyables as possible would be great. However, it would be great to have the Mirage 2000-5 as flyable - mainly because it's an entire new and different weapons set that would be incorporated into the sim for us - i.e. - MICA, 550, Magic missiles etc. It would make online fights a lot more fun and interesting because of the different missiles. Just my opinion.

We can always dream... an afganistan field mod Mi-24D with eight 100kg bombs, two GUV-8700 gun-pods and a co-pilot/gunner and a door gunner all flying together as a team. I wonder how one could model manually reloading of extra ammunition for the rockets by the crew while on mission...
