Asking for Block 3 features to be included in the DCS module is like asking for e.g. the Super Hornet AESA radar to be carried by our Hornet. While normally would agree, as I recall Deka themselves stated if PAF adopted HMD they would add it. So in this case they set the precedent and not unfair to ask about it since the 'requirement' is being met soon. Either way I love the Jf. Great module and look forward to any new features at this point. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. I'd speculate hearing about it in the December-January time frame when the jf is done. But even the work to decide if they're going to do a certain module could take months.

Hard to say. They should have done that conventionally and I hope so but I wouldn't be surprised if they have not yet. I remembered hearing that they are quite in lack of programmer, like Razbam in earlier years. My impression is that they would struggle to cope with more than one main project at a time even just pre-developing works, and this problem would also add to the scruple when choosing next project. They used to be doing some research not to be used at once as technical reserve (that's when the Su-30MKK rumor came up if you remember it) and their progress on JF was very struggling during that time. I hope they also know that if they don't want to delay their future schedule way too much. Human allowed, demon allowed, Deka never allowed. Distort allowed, provoke allowed, fight back never allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vashka Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 I wouldn't doubt they already know. But I suspect they're waiting for the jf to be finalized. Which is honestly extremely respectable. No point is speculating or asking them at the moment. Sit back have a drink and relax. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger-II Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 I remember them saying some time ago they were burned-out by MFD development (it's not easy to do in DCS), and so their next aircraft would have more conventional instrumentation. Speculate away... Motorola 68000 | 1 Mb | Debug port "When performing a forced landing, fly the aircraft as far into the crash as possible." - Bob Hoover. The JF-17 is not better than the F-16; it's different. It's how you fly that counts. "An average aircraft with a skilled pilot, will out-perform the superior aircraft with an average pilot."

Max we'd probably get would be a J-10A as B has an AESA radar that well, frankly we'd never get in DCS because its classified as hell and the code base definitely couldn't handle it. Also if anyone hasn't seen it, Deka put a hint on their Bilibili, simply the year "1968", which discounts J-10 probably, leaving most likely, H-6 (First Flight of domestic made), Q-5 (Believe started production this year) or maybe a j-7 or early j-8.

We'll never get a J-10 ik that, as for the 1968 date, I've looked at every aircraft that was made/introduced in that year by China and not one is compelling. H-6, useless in DCS. Q-5, just a worse version of the 19P which we have. Early J-7, worse version of the 21 which we have. Early J-8 makes the early MiG-23 variants look like the F-22 in comparison. I understand Deka is tired of modeling MFDs and wants to do something more analog but there are a lot of WAY BETTER choices between 1968 and the J-10A than early Q-5, J-7, J-8s :). I'm also biased and want something red gen 4 or something that can fight alongside gen 4 aircraft, hell, even a J-8D/F would do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterH Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 I'll be more interested in those old cold war stuff than J-10 myself. But I'd prefer a later J-7 or Q-5 than a very early one. J-8, I just don't see any draw in. More modern things I honestly don't care too much for, but any properly red modern plane would be something different and interesting regardless. But in the end Deka gave us JF-17 as their first module, one of the most modern aircraft in DCS. So I'd be happy to see them give us a Cold War module next myself. H-6 wouldn't be my cup of tea, but it'd honestly be a great and unique addition to DCS, and we are already getting into some of these bigger/more specialized aircraft with C-130 etc. Still, I'd prefer a Cold War fighter or attacker the most. Also, I wonder if we can maybe eventually get one of the many Su-30 export variants from somebody. Russia seems no-go, Chinese ones seem about as unlikely, MKI would be amazing but I somehow don't see India being particularly cooperative either. But maybe something like at least MKA, MKM eventually, hopefully? 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...
