Mirage F1EDA Would be great ! Used in the Spanish Air Force too !

[Loukuins]

A Mirage F1EDA with the new PCA, the new HUD would be a great Variant for DCS so we can simulate almost every version of the F1 that got the great HUD and new PCA !

I'm sure Aerges got access to the docs on it too !

If needed we will pay for it too !

Would be amazing!

And let's pretend Spain had a couple of surplus refuelling probes lying around, which they installed onto the pre-plumbed EDAs, so we can double-pretend they'e EQs.

It will add a very interesting value to this module

Surely you mean "I will pay for it", as I wouldn't pay for another variant of an aircraft I already have, I'd rather save the money for a different aircraft. My wish is that once Aerges finishes their F1, they would do an F-104G ...

Up to you, just a lot of people want a plane equivalent to the CR/CT or a any other Export Variant from the 80s

Of course, any poster can speak for themselves, and I will do so too here. A non-comprehensive list of existing aircraft's variants I'd pay for instead of an F-104:

- More Bf-109s (aside from G6)

- More MiG-21s (aside from PFM)

- More F1s like AZ, CT, and EQ5 (though, I will admit, EDA itself isn't interesting to me)

- More Fw-190s like F or G variants

- JA37, I'd prefer a Cold War one, but would be somewhat ok with a JA37D too (a Cold War one is much more likely to get documents for anyway)

- More Spitfires

- Though we will get some from Razbam eventually, probably, I wouldn't mind more Mirage III and V variants

- We don't have any yet, but I'd love getting both AH-1W and AH-1F, both should be 80s-90s variants of, and I'd even buy both separately if made so

- More F-5s, either newer or older than the one we have

Surely, I could pay (of course not 60€) for a  version very different of the original (like EDA, EJ, EQ5, CR or CT). In the same way, I could pay for a M2000RDM (more representative of the exported Mirage 2000) from Razbam... It's a lot of work, but the "core" is done (flight model, "base" systems (fuel, hydraulic, engine...).

Of course .. but whenever they use "we", when asking for wishes, it irks me a bit .. like they are intending to represent the whole DCS community, me included, when in fact it's just a single person asking.

Let's imagine that a variant's price is half of the aircraft it's based on .. would you really spend thrice the price of a single new aircraft, in order to fly six variants of aircrafts you already have?

This is probably the only aircraft variant that I would actually purchase, as it's a very different aircraft from the current AJS37 we have now.

Those are not variants, but completely new aircrat, so I would for sure purchase a Mirage 3/5 too

Oh yes, on that I agree.

Depends. If the variants are indeed different enough to warrant another module as opposed to "included within a single module", and if they are variants I'm interested in, I'll have no problem doing that.

Variants is something DCS was sorely missing up to a few years ago. Now it is somewhat changing, but we most definitely can still use more variants of some birds, as they represent whole another experience between their variants, also for those of us who are either into historical or performance wise feasible match-ups, variants can mean a lot.

Every variant I've listed above would be enough of a different experience than the ones we have to add a lot to DCS.

You remember Aerges has building a F-1M and others variants?

-ED has planned to WW2 build Bob modules (Bf-109 / Spitfires / Huricanes, etc).
-The Fw-190G was planned initialy by ED to coming with de A and actually has none news about them.
-RAZBAM has planned a Mirage IIIE module and surely a V.
-AH-1 actually has none select by ED or 3rd parties, but surely coming as a future module.
-ED has plans to update F-5E-3 module, but dont expected more versions.

Your point being? The EDA and M are two different pairs of shoes with the EDA being pretty close to the EQ5/6 and CR/CT, which is what most people would like to see.

The *other variants* will be the BE, which is basicly a two-seat CE with 200l less gas and no internal guns.
