FC2025

[mmarques]

Let's imagine ED is planning an FC2025 package, name one Blue and one Red plane you'd like it to include.

I'll start with:

Blue - F-105

Red - Su-30SM

F16a

Mig25

I hope they do Full Fidelity aircraft first.

Me too, but if these were relatively easy to do, it might widen the usage of DCS, bring in more players and thus help fund future full fidelity modules.

But they're not.

F-14 / SU-32

I’ll leave that assessment to a DCS developer.

We know that already from the interviews with them.

I dont like this polarization that everything have to be either FC or FF, why not make medium fidelity relatively mdern red aircraft with clickable cockpit, but not as sophisticated as Hornet at the beggining, with maybe paid or free update/upgrade coming later?

F/A-18A/C

Su-35S

What i see from the way those latest aircraft where added is that ED could now do version of any of their modules as a FC planes, like we will have the MiG-29 in a reverse way soon. So if a plane comes out as a module it can very reasonably become a FC add-on and the other way around too with the existing FC planes.

I would love to see dedicated ECM platform as well as transport/AWACS.

[hannibal]

i would like to see a DCS FC Bomber.

perhaps a B-25 mitchell, or Ju88

an aircraft with turrets!!

i would think a Flaming cliffs level multicrew B17 would be less hard to program than a full fidelity B17 bomber

in any case, a multicrew FC aircraft would be nice

[Schmidtfire]

ED could charge 29.99$ for a nice FC level Su-27SM/2/3 or Su-27SKM and it would sell like hot cakes.
 
Fully clickable and all systems modelled would be a dream. But reality is that ED can't do it.
And at some point they will run out of aircrafts to model at full fidelity anyways, so I see no issue
with additional FC projects to supplement the full fidelity products.

For the Blue/NATO side, there's a couple of aircraft I would like to see. From the top of my head, and considering the chances of having the most advanced types like the F-22 and F-35 are practically ZERO, I would say the F-117 Nighthawk, or an Eurofighter 2000/Typhoon, or a JAS-39 Gripen could be interesting choices.

For the Red/Russian/Eastern side, same considerations regarding most advanced 4+ gens, I would go for the SU-34 and the 35, or perhaps the MiG-35, maybe one of the chinese 4th gen J-family (we already have the J-11, so why not the J-10, J-15 or J-16?)

Another possibility I see as a fertile ground for future Flaming Cliffs modules would be the 3rd Gen and early 4th Gen aircraft, we even gotten the F-5 and the MiG-15 and F-86 (are these  last two 3rd gen? ). And I also like the idea of a multicrew Flaming Cliffs module. The SU-34 would be the PERFECT candidate for test-fitting that feature.

wont happen, you cant run two instances of FC in the same plance, thats why we cant add proper Multicrew to the Su-30 mod currently.
I believe its due to how the system is set up, and making it multicrew is going to be way too complicated for a FC type plane

Not that I like the idea but there's absolutely no technical problem if it works in FF modules already.

Yes, thats because the Multicrew FF planes are set up to work this way. But FC3/24 is different, the system is not made for that.
You would have to remake the FC3 systems from scratch.
The way I understood it, is that the each mode is a component that occupies a slot.
If you add a second player to it, you would have lets say Player 1 TWS mode, which then conflicts with player 2 TWS mode, since the two player's systems are sending different signals/inputs, causing the plane to be confused, since its being told to do 2 different things at the same time

Of course it's not made for that because these are single seaters and they are also separate aicraft so the new two seater would just be another completely independent module. Nothing has to be rewritten.
