What we really really want...

[Yeti42]

This has been discussed before so please bear with me... This is a wish list, this would be top of my wishlist...

 

The lack of a full-fidelity 4th generation Soviet fighter/bomber is limiting when trying to set up realistic scenarios for missions and online servers. The FC aircraft are all well and good but they cannot replace a full-fidelity model IMHO. I've heard that ED (or any 3rd party developer) are unable to do this due to the lack of PD information available and are concerned that they would fall foul of the Russian authorities if they attempted it. I'm not sure if this situation has changed over the years but I think an SU-27 or Mig 29A would be a great addition and would sell very well.

Yes it would.

I totally understand why you and many others have wished for more 4th gen Russian jets over the years. But unfortunately for the very reasons for which you mentioned the situation is what it is.

 

I am sure that ED is well aware of the situation and are eagerly waiting for a change to allow them to move on.

In the mean time we are just going to have to make due with 3rd gen and lower scenarios now that DCS will be getting the MIG-23. We are all just going to have to be patient for the Red forces to be slowly rolled out.

That's one of the reasons why I would like to see more Cold War content, because it should be easier to bring 2nd and 3rd gen sowjet fighters to DCS than 4th gen russian fighters.

I'd rather see more 4th gen stuff in DCS (personally I am quite tired of cold war stuff myself); if it comes down to a 3rd party developer to bring us some modern(ized) Fulcrum or Flanker derivative, I am all for it. If it helps to push development along for DCS, the respective export variants would do just fine. :thumbup:

Well We would all love an SU-27 or Mig 29, any of them, full clickable, as well as an A-4 Skyhawk... Unfortunately its not going to happen any time soon.

License stuff... shame really.

A high fidelity Fulcrum is actually among the Top3 on my personal wishlist ;)

I'm just saying that it's easier to get data for the cold war stuff (and I would really love to get some more cold war aircraft and assets) :)

You know that the A model of Fulcrum is “Cold War stuff” right? But yes more Cold War would be really cool. And there were a tone of cool jets from several countries. However I to really wish that at least the FC3 Jets could get there systems, and clickable cockpit. But it seems destined not to be.

This is the holy grail of Wishlist's. A SU 27 ,MIG 29 has been on my personal want's for some time as with i suspect on many others wishlist .Personally i would love to see the MIG 29k for some awesome carrier battles on the new free map coming.
