I Beg Of You...

...PLEASE consider bringing your wonderful MSFS P-38 into DCS at some point. It's become one of my go-to planes there and would be a joy in this environment.

[NoodI]

+1 it needs to be added at some point

My opinion always was - only a combat simulator can do the justice to the combat aircraft.

Similar with F-117.

Is there a P38 model that was used extensively in Europe and Pacific. If so that would be the best model to make.

Well the L model was the last and most widely produced version and flew in both Europe and the Pacific starting in 1944.  It was the primary USAAF fighter in the Pacific (https://www.nationalmuseum.af.mil/Visit/Museum-Exhibits/Fact-Sheets/Display/Article/196280/lockheed-p-38l-lightning/) during that timeframe but the P-51 had pretty much replaced it in Europe as the primary fighter aircraft.  This is the version that FlyingIron has already made for MSFS according to their website so it is the most likely candidate in my opinion.

It would indeed be great. Even when it wasn't the primary fighter, it had an illustrious career as a light bomber and strafer. They did that in both Pacific and Europe, pretty much until the war ended. They took out Japanese ships and German ground forces alike.

Any of them, starting with the Fox.

Until now I didn’t know how much I needed this, now I can’t I see it!

[Slippa]

I get mail from FIS offering updates or whatever. 

I’d happily shell out for a DCS Lightning. Looking forward to the mail offering it up.

Question I do not fly in MSFS so I know nothing about it. I Do See WWII planes coming out like CRAZY Fast for MSFS all the time. They look to be of High Quality BUT I honestly know nothing about them. Why is it MSFS a non Combat high quality flight sim able to get so many WWII planes SO Detailed So Fast and with What looks to be clickable cockpits and true to life Flight models but Never able to happen in DCS like That? Like I said I know nothing about this stuff. Sorry if I upset you by asking. Thanks if you reply.

[Mr_sukebe]

I have a P38 in that Civ sim.  It’s much better than most of the stock aircraft.  Still not in the same league as say our Mosquito

[cordite]

I wholeheartedly agree with this request, and trophied the op. But please change the title to something more descriptive.

There is no curation in that sim. Well made good planes and total crap planes are sold next t9 each other for the same price. They might look good(making something look good graphically is actually quite easy with talent an resources) but most aircraft don't fly like the real thing at all.

@DishDoggie ^ They also don't have to create and code in internal structure (apart from places where it's visible from cockpit and from outside), damage model and weapon systems either. These things are a must, however, and take lots of development time in combat-oriented sims.
