I just want to know if ED has permission from Lockheed to create an interpretation of their aircraft. As with many other modules in DCS (F-18, F16 and AH64) a complete recreation of systems isnt needed to provide a realistic depiction of the aircraft so im totally fine with them not modeling all systems available. 

 

Im also hoping that the community has enough common sense to not start "warthundering" documents to make their favorite plane more realistic

One day in DCS... Vipers will fly along side Tomcats... Bugs with Superbugs, Tiffy's with Tornado's, Fulcrums with Flankers and Mirage with Rafales...

:)The Future of DCS is a bright one:)

Gents,

in my humble opinion, ED will do this no matter what. Let our wallets vote.

Oh make no mistake, it will sell like hotcakes. Just look at the popularity of mods for 4+ and 5th gen jets. It will probably also bring in new crowds, both of which are good for ED's budget.

My prediction is this will result in a bit of a split. Hardcore / traditional fans, the longer standing playerbase, will play on servers that likely won't even include this module. The same servers that already don't allow mods. Life will go on as if it doesn't even exist. A separate, newer playerbase will coalesce around this module to play in less realistic, less "traditional DCS" servers, probably with heavy inclusion of mods to give it a contemporary environment in which to fly.

There's no way the "traditional" DCS playerbase is going to accept this module, much as they already don't accept mods. But it will definitely grow the playerbase in a different demographic.

Now its a time for Su-57 ;>.

Maybe the famous Mig-31 but from the movie FIREFOX. What would You say?

...and second more thing, very soon in DCS

Well good luck with this ED.

 

Personally, I think you should focus on actually making sure that those modules you have released over the past god knows how many years I've given you, are actually finished and not borked on every patch release...................

Along with missions...............

Along with campaigns...........

That would be nice..................  wouldn't it?

The main goal of 5th generation fighter like F 35 is to deal with highly contested environment with a lot of EW threats. This is exactly  what we don't have for sure and will never have.

Wow. So, apparently there is not enough information to give FW-190 GM-1 system. All info is there, but one key peice is not documented enough to make simulation.

But this is not the case with entire F-35 somehow.

I expected everything but this fighter.

They got me! That is just brilliant! As a lot of nations will get this fighter, I’m 100% sure I will buy it if it looks close to FF module! But F-35 is no Naval version, I will definitely miss carrier operation with this module…

If the module release date is delayed, this will just add realism to the F-35 😂.

What an absolute joke.

I play DCS because I can cope that things are simulated to at least a bare minimum of """"realism"""" but there's just no way to get even close to that with an F-35.

If you want to guesstimate something how about you guesstimate a MiG-31 to get some semblance of parity for red vs blue?

This makes a mockery of every time anyone was told a system was impossible to produce in DCS because there wasn't enough documentation.

I'll take an F-35. Don't care if it missing a few things, I just want a nice DCS representation of it so I can enjoy flying it around.

Some of the planes, but all of the maps!

Not to mention that there are no red aircraft to go up against this one, it just doesn't make any sense to add an F-35.

Yep... think ED are going against their own principles of only producing 100% accurate modules because there is absolutley no way they have all the matereial to create the F35A accurately....

**bang** *shoots razbam in the back of the head* oh damn you saw that, uhhh F35 coming to dcs. Source? Youtube obviously.

The emotions I have gone over the past hour is bananas. To end it with Yeah we got the info from youtube. damn near killed me. Were not talking about learning how to drain oil from a car here ED.

I’ll probably give this a miss. The F-35 cockpit has all the visual appeal of a truckstop ATM.

Well, if YouTube is the source than let's vote for Su-57.

And after that for project Aurora and UAPs.

Not really sure how I feel about this one. For years, customers have been told "no we can't make that because of the lack of data and documents available". Now, you can get all that information from watching some videos. DCS's main selling point is the accuracy of the flight models and the attention to the minor details that other platforms don't provide. I'm happy to see more aircraft but this one is a bit far fetched given where dcs has come from in my opinion.

Will the ADFX-01 Morgan have the Multi-Purpose Burst Missile and Tactical Laser System at launch or can we expect that later in early access?

This looks like a cash grab TBH. There is no way they can model the F-35 to FF standard based on airshow videos and pilot feedback only. But it will definitely sell to the crowd that wants the latest most performant planes at all cost.

Imagine how much dev time this project will take away from much needed core improvements such as AI, dynamic campaign, VR performance, etc. 

Also, if proper documentation is no longer needed for a module, can we get some Flankers in here?

Utterly pointless, not interested.
