Tank50us Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 One thing that I'd been thinking about recently, is about aircraft and projects that are currently in development. So, what I'd like to see, if it's even possible, are aircraft and helicopters, ground vehicles, and ships that are either just prototypes, or are just (to our knowledge) still on the drawing board. If done, I see this being akin to an FC-3 style module, but with fully functional cockpits. These aircraft (pics below), would be based on what is currently in development, and using known principles of aerospace engineering, materials science, engine performance, and known trends in cockpit design. While not true representations of what might come down the pipe, such a module would be kinda fun to see in DCS, especially for those wanting to play with scenarios set no more than a couple decades in the future. As stated, this would also include the proposed tank, ship, and helo designs that are coming down the pipe. As for the "What-if" part of the statement, this would be for units that were proposed, but failed. The question would be "What if the project was continued and re-branded?" Pics: Now, before people start posting pictures of Colonial Vipers and X-Wings... keep in mind that this post isn't about those. This is about what we know, or what we can reasonably assume are coming down the pipe in terms of design. What do you guys think? Would anything like this fit in a future DCS Module?

WinterH Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 For me personally: Nope... (Points backwards) 90s "sims" thataway if you really want that. 2 hours ago, Tank50us said: Now, before people start posting pictures of Colonial Vipers and X-Wings... keep in mind that this post isn't about those. It is though, at least it might as well be.

cfrag Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 This surely would be a fun experiment for some, and it’s a perfectly suited subject for the mod community. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lace Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 I will only endorse hypothetical or fictional units once every real-world, in-service, sea, land, and air unit is represented in game. We have some glaring gaps in the DCS OOB, filling those should be the priority. 2 Laptop Pilot.

SharpeXB Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 None of those likely have enough open source info to be doable to DCS standards. And ED isn’t making any more FC3 level modules for DCS. 1 i9-14900KS | ASUS ROG MAXIMUS Z790 HERO | 64GB DDR5 5600MHz | iCUE H150i Liquid CPU Cooler | ASUS TUF GeForce RTX 4090 OC | Windows 11 Home | 2TB Samsung 980 PRO NVMe | Corsair RM1000x | LG 48GQ900-B 4K OLED Monitor | CH Fighterstick | Ch Pro Throttle | CH Pro Pedals | TrackIR 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
