WinterH Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Excellent news as far as I'm concerned. This has been one of the most wanted aircraft for me in DCS. I'm a snob for features completeness and fidelity over visuals, so I do get people's concerns over those, but DEKA has proven to us that a new developer can prove to be pretty good with those, and I'm willing to give Flying Iron benefit of the doubt in that light. Looking forward to A-7E in DCS! Wishlist: F-4E Block 53 +, MiG-27K, Su-17M3 or M4, AH-1F or W circa 80s or early 90s, J35 Draken, Kfir C7, Mirage III/V DCS-Dismounts Script Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow KT Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 (edited) Can we at least let them get the model into early access before we start speculating about how terrible they are at their jobs? Are you asking yourself ? Because I am definetely not doing what you are describing. I've seen their work and it does look and sound very good, so I wouldn't be worried about that aspect. This is DCS tho, there are more import things and asking a question, concerning systems and flight models is standard. Both, things which are not their specialty or job, as far as they describe themselfs, that is. If ED has signed them, I guess they have shown that they have what it takes..... Waiting to see if anything is good only after early access? That is a bad approach and discussion topic I am not going to go into... Hope they make it and make it good!

Raven (Elysian Angel) Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Excellent news! Looks are always subjective; but I for one really like how the A-7 looks, and always have (same with the A-6). A complete '70s era flight deck is also one of my personal dreams in DCS: F-14, A-6, A-7, E-2, SH-3, C-2 ... :pilotfly: Spoiler Ryzen 9 5900X | 64GB G.Skill TridentZ 3600 | Gigabyte RX6900XT | ASUS ROG Strix X570-E GAMING | Samsung 990Pro 2TB + 960Pro 1TB NMVe | HP Reverb G2 Pro Flight Trainer Puma | VIRPIL MT-50CM2+3 base / CM2 x2 grip with 200 mm S-curve extension + CM3 throttle + CP2/3 + FSSB R3L + VPC Rotor TCS Plus base with SharKa-50 grip mounted on Monstertech MFC-1 | TPR rudder pedals OpenXR | PD 1.0 | 100% render resolution | DCS "HIGH" preset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santus Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 I welcome any new dev to DCS, great news! But I do wonder what the deal is with RAZBAM. I suppose RAZBAM had it on its personal roadmap and announced it as something for the far future (I mean their roadmap is pretty full already), but FlyingIron basically called dibs on it with ED? I guess there is a huge distance between "I want to bring x airframe to DCS" and actually signing a contract with ED for it. Remember what happened with the MIG 25 and RAZBAM? It is also very possible that before signing with flyingiron simulations, ED actually discussed it with RAZBAM in the spirit of good partnership. - Livery Catalog - Youtube channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDieing Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 I guess there is a huge distance between "I want to bring x airframe to DCS" and actually signing a contract with ED for it. There is. They actually have to negotiate terms and what not. RAZBAM has much on their plate so before they would enter this negotiation phase I guess we would be talking years from now. It is also very possible that before signing with flyingiron simulations, ED actually discussed it with RAZBAM in the spirit of good partnership. This is the part I am actually interested in. I would imagine ED just 'gave' it to FlyingIron on a first come, first serve basis. Curious if they discussed with RAZBAM.

TLTeo Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Off the top of my head, the aircraft Razbam has said are on their roadmap are in one way or another are (literally all of them, so some of these are obviously outdated): Mig-23MLA, Mig-19S, F-15E, Sea Harrier FRS 1, Harrier Gr3, Mirage 3/IAI Dagger, OV-10 Bronco, IA-58 Pucara, Tornado, A-7, Bo-105, A-29 Super Tucano, AV/8B+, Mirage 2000-5, on top of completion of the AV/8B NA, Mirage 2000 and Mig-19P. I think it's safe to say that a third party taking over one of those projects is not the end of the world for Razbam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kontiuka Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Oh, and it's another Corsair. We'll eventually have the Corsair and the Corsair II flying in formation... I mean, how cool is that?Even sooner, we'll have the Thunderbolt and Thunderbolt II. :) But I digress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarbonFox Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 1/72 plastic stuff I had that very same model but had an A-7D paint scheme. Glad to see the Corsair coming to DCS. With the Tomcat and possibly, an A-6E TRAM module at some point, this will really open up the way for more 1980s/early 90s campaign scenarios.
