antagonist Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Do you already know what the extent of the available capabilities is going to be? Specifically, can you out of hand confirm or deny PIRATE and Meteor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
de.Impact Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 (edited) Very cool to hear those news. A dream comes true. Are you planing to include the voice controlled cockpit commands/features and if yes how ? Any plans for the two seater/training version ?

Etirion Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 I would be interested in how you guys came to decide to develop a virtual Eurofighter and decided on DCS as a platform. Although no matter how I'm certainly glad that you did :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyro_ Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 How different are the different nations' eurofighters?The basic packet is sold to each country, then each country (into the program) can change libraries to DASS, or sw interfaces with weapons, (UK wanted without cannon but that it isn't possible) but all are very similar.

Although no matter how I'm certainly glad that you did :) Hi Etirion, we are glad to hear you are stoked! All of us have a special connection to the Eurofighter Typhoon. We also can't think of a greater jet to bring to life in DCS! In our eyes DCS was the perfect fit for the Typhoon. To name only one reason: The great VR capabilities and amazing graphics.

joelsi Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Hello, In the official newsletter the module was referred to as Eurofighter Typhoon II. Does this mean that we are getting a Tranche 2 Eurofighter Typhoon or is this just to make clear that we are getting an Eurofighter Typhoon and not the original WW2 Typhoon? https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/newsletters/newsletter27032020-zghbvfnfr88xb2vdbd09gtujjye17qzx.html -Joelsi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DashTrueGrit Posted March 27, 2020 Author Share Posted March 27, 2020 Hi joelsi, that was unfortunately a typo. As we have stated in our FAQ`s, we will bring the most advanced Eurofighter Typhoon possible with the data available.

Bluenose Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Wow, thank you to Dash and TG! An early order from me. The Luftwaffe Tr.1 minus PIRATE is a pretty unique variant. I presume the initial model is a Tr.1 Block 5 SRP 4.3 with Paveway but little else in the A2G department. The letter says 'Eurofighter Typhoon II', but I am surpised that GmbH / Selex / MBDA would give away a lot of data for the Tr.2 - even a Bl. 8 sounds like a stretch given confidential information. PIRATE would be great, but preume that you cannot promise anything at this early stage? In any case, great news and the best of luck to you and the team.

There are soooo many opportunities for inappropriate jokes if it does... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluenose Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 (edited) Does the PIRATE include the ASRAAM? There are soooo many opportunities for inappropriate jokes if it does... PIRATE is the IRST - the German Tr.1 verison lacks them (which is a pity). IRST or Sidewinder, but not ASRAAM I would expect. But all models - IIRC - had HMDs, so should get a HOBS capability. Are you going to include the Taurus cruise missile? I doubt MBDA would give details on current, advanced weapons so Storm Shadow, Meteor and Brimstone are likely out.

IRST is not the same thing as IRIS-T missile (which is the off-boresight missile most Typhoon operators use). German Typhoons lack the former, but do carry the latter. I'm not sure whether the IRIS-T was introduced after Tranche 1 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlummel Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Following up on the concept of “Epic Modules” and the Typhoon being one as mentioned in the FAQ, are there any current DCS modules that would also be considered “Epic Modules”? What makes a module an “Epic Module"? Also, would like to point out that "open access" is just another term for "open beta" and it would silly to think that a module as complex as the Typhoon wouldn't be released "early access" as soon as the basics are in place! It generates a revenue stream that benefits everyone from the player thru the module developer to the DCS world maintainers and is a sound business decision 99.9% of the time... This profile (jlummel) is not in use anymore! I managed to recover my original forum profile, StressLess, and have gone back to using it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miasma Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Could you please comment on the possibility of getting the ASRAAM Air to Air Heat seeking missile? It is one of the main weapons used by the RAF ( I know you are making a german Typhoon) but you mentioned other nations weapons Many thanks Royal Navy Tomcat skin now live: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/?CREATED_BY=miasma&set_filter=Y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dun_Aenghus Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Great to see the Eurofighter finally coming to DCS! Do you have any plans for the module beyond the Eurofighter itself like adding a Luftwaffe A400M/A300 tanker and a campaign? Good luck with the development, cannot wait.
