Would an F-4E AUP ever be possible see in DCS

Hope this isn't off topic, but since it's related to the F-4E, I thought it'd be best to ask here. If it isn't, I'll delete it.

Would an F-4E AUP ever be possible see in DCS as a module? As in, is there enough documentation and sources on it that'd allow for it to be a DCS module?

Really just wondering. This isn't a plea for HB to make one.

In principle sure, in practice... it's unlikely to have the demand for it to be practical as a paid DLC, but someone might make it a passion project/community mod, ala the A-4 or F/A-18 E/F or F-16D

There was, in fact, an F-4E AUP mod that was being made. But I haven't heard any news of it, besides about a year ago the creator saying it was on hold until HB released their F-4E. 

But again, it's not really a "HB, please make this!". It's just me wondering if the info to make a proper module for it is out there.

Possible? Sure.

Likely? Not in the near future. The F-4E spawned multiple “boutique” variants , and each one has its own quirks and capabilities. The F-4F ICE, the F-4E AUP, the F-4E 2020 Terminator, the F-4E Kurnass 2000….each is just different enough to merit its own dedicated module.

It would take a development studio years to knock out one of them. HB is in the best position to make a Gucci Phantom, but their plate is full for the foreseeable future.

Thanks. I agree, it's not feasible at all. 

Also, are there documents on the F-4E AUP that are public? I can't remember if file sharing is allowed on here or not.
