SOLIDKREATE Posted September 15, 2022 Posted September 15, 2022 (edited) Since a lot of Vietnam planes keep coming out I'd like to bring attention to these two aircraft to any MOD Team out there. I believe these would make a wondeful addition to DCS as a whole. A-37B "Dragonfly", USAF, 1968. O-2A "Skymaster", USAF circa 1968.

Evoman Posted September 18, 2022 Posted September 18, 2022 There has been a steady request over the years by a few for a regular single engine Cessna just to have a good FF Cessna. However I have always thought that the O-2 Skymaster would be a way better fit in DCS because it would actually be useful in combat and even more so in a Vietnam map.
tora117 Posted September 28, 2022 Posted September 28, 2022 I am looking into creating a DCS mod, and this was my first thought as I used to own and fly one in airshows. However, I don't really think the interest justifies the amount of time I would have to spend. Especially considering there is already an OV-8 mod to serve the LAR/FO role. A-37 or some other fairly simplistic Vietnam era jet fighter is more what I am considering. That being said, if anybody wants help with an O-2 project I would be glad to help. I am very familiar with the airplane and its systems and before I sold mine I took probably 100 pictures of the airplane with the intent of making an RC equivalent.

One Eyed Ross Posted November 23, 2022 Posted November 23, 2022 This would be SOOOOOO cool to have in game. Maybe one day, when someone who can does it. With the Bronco AND the Skymaster, I'd be in FAC heaven.

If it is Photoshop, then I had no idea. I'd be very skeptical about said article since those were Ryan Firebees. Those things are the size of 172s. The little Dragonfly lacks the ground clearance. I'm not even sure the tip tanks are removeable. Also, some OA-37 moto stuff: Edited February 28 by MiG21bisFishbedL 2 Reformers hate him!

SOLIDKREATE Posted March 1 Author Posted March 1 I thought those looked familiar. I think the Firebee would be a really cool MOD to have for some target practice.
