twistking Posted June 15, 2022 Posted June 15, 2022 I was once again browsing wikipedia to find the "perfect" dcs aircraft with my (obiously very subjective) criteria being: - No FBW !!! - Single seater - Sophisticated (for it's time) or at least interesting systems/avionics - Somewhat diverse mission profiles / gameplay possibilities There aren't really many aircraft at all that fit those criteria (please feel free to post all you can think off), but the A-7 fits it perfectly. It is also beautifully ugly and has some interesting systems like a backlit moving paper map that is slaved to the INS, AG radar and a "modern" HUD. Bonus for being carrier capable... 1 My improved* wishlist after a decade with DCS *now with 17% more wishes compared to the original

It's already in development for DCS by FlyingIron Simulations. There's a development thread about it in the chit chat section of the forum. 1 1

Dragon1-1 Posted June 15, 2022 Posted June 15, 2022 I'm certainly looking forward to the SLUF, for precisely the reasons you listed. The F-8 will be great, too. We need more oldies like this. 3

upyr1 Posted June 16, 2022 Posted June 16, 2022 The A-7 will be awesome I hope we get the D and the E. The D was the usaf version. 1
