Ercoupe Posted February 25, 2024 Posted February 25, 2024 Some of the mods I've seen created in here are amazing. The A4E comes to mind, and that beautiful T-45. If that can be done, isn't anyone interested in building a cockpit for the A-20 and making it flyable? I love this great light bomber, and it would be very exciting to fly it in DCS. The sim already has a really nice AI external model of the airplane so that wouldn't have to be touched. Coming in low with an A-20 and hitting shipping or airfields would be some exciting flying. And the airplane fits perfectly in both the European maps and upcoming Pacific maps. Flying low level missions against Japanese shipping on the Mariana's map! Just like those 5th Air Force Havoc drivers did. I've imagined it a hundred times. If someone is good at creating cockpits, please think about it. 1
Copprhead Posted February 25, 2024 Posted February 25, 2024 It's really not a simple or quick thing. You can't use the AI model as the arg 114 to hide the cockpit of the external model isn't present. So you need a new external model. And of course the cockpit model and for the turret and gunner/radio station. Using a SFM isn't feasible: it's not good at simulating propeller and piston engines. And it doesn't support multicrew. So you need an EFM. Developing a EFM alone is a big task. Simulating a somewhat realistic propeller and piston engine alone is already difficult. Then, there hardly any documentation on the aircraft aaerodynamic. Also for the turret some believable AI logic must be implemented. And for human controlled turret some way to sync it over the network. 1
