Random Posted May 16, 2020 Posted May 16, 2020 Give over, its a F.53 we want with ground attack ;) I have the pilot's notes and the operating data and handling manual for the F.53 … T.55 P1A P1B F.1 F.1A F.2 F.3 F.6 T.Mk.4 T.Mk.5 :D Plus a few others. :P :pilotfly: Do the export versions have the datalink and Computer Red though? Not that datalink was ever used operationally it's still rather cool. I'd LOVE to do a datalinked GCI in DCS

I'd LOVE to do a datalinked GCI in DCS Well, the mig-23 Lazur data link/GCI system is at least on a very general level "similar" so they might leverage that. Supposedly the mig-23 is supposed to have that per overstratos if they can figure out a way to implement it in DCS. New hotness: I7 9700k 4.8ghz, 32gb ddr4, 2080ti, :joystick: TM Warthog.

Also have very little detail on the Redtop missile, some engagement charts but nothing like gimble slew speed or seeker range or even speed (should be somewhere around 3.5M) Sons of Dogs, Come Eat Flesh Clan Cameron
Alicatt Posted May 19, 2020 Posted May 19, 2020 I never got to see one fly IRL. Would have loved to. Was 8 years old when I seen one for the first time, scared the living K**p out of me :D 10 of them starting up and taking off in formation, left a distinct impression on me!

Gotta love the MOD... How long has it been out of service now? :megalol: Either way, its one of my favorite aircraft and should be great fit for the mid cold war era migs we have/will get. Actually I'm really hoping for a decent 70's/80's era plane set coming in the next few years. Mirage F1's, Kfir, A7E, Mig23, Sea Harrier, whatever deka decides to do might fit too. We also need a decent Red Striker, so hopefully someone does a Su-17/22 or Su-25A as well. New hotness: I7 9700k 4.8ghz, 32gb ddr4, 2080ti, :joystick: TM Warthog.

Pastypower69 Posted May 23, 2020 Posted May 23, 2020 Looks absolutely incredible. It was my favourite plane as a young boy after watching it scream past at an airshow back in the 70s. Thank you for deciding on this project. Can we expect this within the next 12 months?

Harlikwin Posted May 30, 2020 Posted May 30, 2020 for those who think the lightning couldnt turn I recall reading that turn performance and agility were on par with the mig21.

ngreenaway Posted June 1, 2020 Posted June 1, 2020 I loved my Rover... Buuuuut…. I had a mini Cooper in Germany. The Autobahn was no place for that clown car with tiny dry-rotted tires, but I was young&dumb(crumple zone? *I* am the crumple zone!) It was small enough I would been better off taking out the driver's seat and driving from the back. As it was, the car would leave me with killer shin pain. Kept me from getting a fiat 500, so I suppose I wished up a little [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] DCS: The most expensive free game you'll ever play Modules: All of them System: I9-9900k, ROG Maximus , 32gb ram, RTX2070 Founder's Edition, t16000,hotas, pedals & cougar MFD, HP Reverb 1.2, HTC VIVE

Wolfpack1-3 Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 so now the mig 21 gets a play mate im so going to ad the lightning to my hanger when its out
Random Posted June 6, 2020 Posted June 6, 2020 so now the mig 21 gets a play mate im so going to ad the lightning to my hanger when its out To be honest, the Mig 19 is the one I'd match up against the lightning. Give it a real run for its money as the 19 has an even better thrust to weight ratio. Although it doenst have the outright performance, in a knife fight that thrust to weight ratio will be a big help!
Pikey Posted June 7, 2020 Posted June 7, 2020 Have to show my support for DCS:Rocket. I could use some more contempories, at least in AI, for the GCI role, but a late one is quite adaptable. Mods and scripts make the module work. It has unique... being mach2 and able to intercept a concorde is something interesting but it takes some work from the mission designer. ___________________________________________________________________________ SIMPLE SCENERY SAVING * SIMPLE GROUP SAVING * SIMPLE STATIC SAVING *

AI Concorde and an AI U2 necessary! I imagine recreating the U2 intercept and surviving ought to be a challenge.
