Full fidelity FC3 planes

[Eagle_01]

I would love to see the FC3 planes made into full fidelity modules. I'll gladly pay for each individual plane as its own module if I have to.

 

Those are the only Russian late generation planes. Sadly they don't get too much flying time because they are low fidelity. I would love to fly them in full fidelity.

Vote in the F-15 vs Su-27 poll that USSR_Rik wanted, let’s hope it’s the brain melting end of year announcement

Here was my reply to that same thread:

As far as I know only the A-10A would be feasible. I had read some where that it may even already have partial coding for a clickable cockpit but it was just put off.

 

Other than that the F-15C would probably be the next doable candidate but not sure if the hold up is a licensing issue or classified systems. In the mean time we will just have to make do with the F-15E that is currently in development.

 

Russian aircraft are a whole other fiasco. It will continue to be difficult to develop a full fidelity module with the current Russian government restrictions. Check out this podcast for more details as to why Russian aircraft are difficult to do @11:18. https://alert5podcast.podbean.com/e/...t-wags-wagner/

Won't happen for any Russian aircraft. Even for Mig-29G, as it was modified MIG-29A. Blame it on Russian government. There may be a better chance of Chinese government cooperation on J-10 module. J-11A we have now is not at all whats flying for PLAAF and shore based PLAAN aviation. The pits are more modern, and weapons are mostly Chinese domestic, with compatibility to use to Russian missiles. Most worrying is PLAAN's ability to use Israeli Rafael Python 4 on J-11. That means that J-11 may have Link-16 equivalent, which means they can carry AIM-9X , AIM-120, and Western A-G munitions.

 

F-15C is still in service and will be until 2040. So thats that. Eagle C flying today has AESA, AIM-120C8-9/D, and JHMQS. Its not 1989 vintage F-15C in FC3.

Even though I've posted and voted on the thread linked somewhere above, I still honestly don't expect those to make any difference. I don't see FC3 airframes becoming full fdelity anytime soon. And to be fair, they do have their place in being the gateway drug to get people into DCS.

Turning them into full DCS modules doesn't mean FC3 must cease to exist, and there is MAC anyway. Looking at the aircraft list we have a lot of duplicate planes. F-5E wasn't replaced, we got F-5E-3. F/A-18C Lot 20 was added, F-16CM Blk 50, etc. Using the F-15 for example I'd imagine FC3 would remain as "F-15C" while the DCS modules would be "F-15C MSIP II" or something.

1989 eagle had no acces neither to aim-120B nor 120C so no, what we have is a mid/late 90s version

I guess technically since it's missing so much, being a FC3 aircraft, it can be whatever you want it to be by changing weapons. Unlike the full modules you don't get a situation where you have 80's weapons but 2000's DL or something.

+1 for FC update specially F15

Do we need more US full fidelity planes?

 

 

I vote for a Flanker or a Fulcrum, newer versions ofc, the FC3 ones are from the stone age;)

I would like to see at least F-15C modeled fully. What "we" needs is not my concern.
