I dont like the idea a lot.

As bad as i would love the F15c and would support any 3rd party that would engage in that task financially, i think a good module needs to steam from the love and true interest of a 3rd party rather that from an auction to the best bidder.

An unknown 3rd party that accepts doing that just because there is a good chunk of money to start is a recipe for disaster. Doing the minimum to meet whatever initial promise is in the Crowdfunding.

Now if we have the luck of a good trustworthy 3rd party taking the mission and they decide to open a CF to support the investment..., then I'm in.

yes it should be done right or not at all, so many projects come out nowadays where there is clearly no love behind them

[draconus]

ED standards are very high nowadays. I wouldn't worry about that at all. Who would approach such a project without love anyway?

Not for DCS I'm sure. Flight simulation is such a niche market there are no heaps of money to be made. That leaves passion projects, which DCS modules have to be per definition or any developer - 3rd party or otherwise - won't last.
I also don't imagine people who have the required credentials - being aeronautical engineers who can also hold their own with software development are particularly easy to find...

Since bumping is so popular on the wishlist now let's bring up the most wanted!

I think bumping can only get the topic locked.

I wish it would. But it certinly isn't punished atm. Example:

It can get members on ignore lists, though...

[Rick50]

Then maybe let's use some creativity to 'bump' a topic: put a real nice screenshot of the aircraft into a post... and done!

Next time, the Streak Eagle, NASA's hotrod Eagles, and maybe the ASAT Eagle program!

An F-15C Eagle assigned to Kadena Air Base, Japan, takes off from the flightline at Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska, Aug. 17, 2021. Fighter jets from the U.S. Air Force and Royal Australian Air Force inventories gathered at the Joint Pacific Alaska Range Complex, a 77,000-square-mile airspace, Aug. 12-27, to simulate air combat scenarios to refine air tactics and joint operations.

Still waiting for DCS: F-15A/C

[draconus]

Clouds around the F-15E arise. Impossible to see, the future is. Even more reasons to make F-15C FF module I see.

And then... convert it into the F-15E? Clever!

You're right, I forgot we've already got the F-15E... oh wait.

[VR Flight Guy in PJ Pants]

For the time being, if I want the fly a FF Eagle, I am looking at somewhere else...

Based on what I have seen, that particular implementation has some way to go still. And on top of that, a DCS version will likely be quite a bit higher fidelity  

[Lyrode]

I don't want to add more fuel to the fire but...

If at the cost of all Razbam modules, especially the F-15e, we get a FF F-15c, I would be happy.

Only my day dream though, I know.

My baseline is: it is gorram better than nothing, and I Do Not Comment On Products That Does Not Exist^TM

Given how hi quality some mods we have around, it wouldnt be impossible to add a lot of missing FC3 Eagle functionalities via mod to improve it to FF, we are not touching radar or weapons anyway, but everything else can be found in some mods: INS, TACAN, MFD's, even things like working hook can be done...

[VR Flight Guy in PJ Pants]

There was a clickable mod for FC3 planes, fyi. And I am not sure if it still works or not. And I think there was also a NVG mod and again I am not sure if it works currently or not.

FC3 NVG mods no longer work, clickable F-15C breaks IC, btw that clickable F-15C mod had more things mapped than FC3 Eagle, but project seem to be abondoned after RB SE realese

I'm with you on this.

I remember one of ED dev said after he little bit digging into Eagle manual that he found the A or C Eagle version ( can't remember exactly) has more A-G capability compared to Su-27.

you must be new around here

I didn't read whole post in this thread. Which I believe already mentioned regarding Eagle air to ground capability. If so then my apology.
I merely mentioned what I read long ago in Lomac era what one of ED dev said.

It's known that A/C Eagles have built in modes for limited A2G operations just USAF never used them in that role and pilots either never train for it or it was rare.
