Stratos Posted April 9, 2005 Posted April 9, 2005 They talk about some choppers, but no one asked for the Mi-24?? It's available for a lot of countrys and is a very nice helo. P.S. Why they didn't update the country list?? I don't understand anything in russian except Davai Davai!
nunsuch Posted April 9, 2005 Posted April 9, 2005 I asked for the Mi-24 and the AH-1. I would rather older aircraft honestly things that were in general service in the mid '80's. Mirage 2000 is high on my list too but whatever ED does it will probably kick ass.
355th_Thomp Posted April 9, 2005 Posted April 9, 2005 Thought the F-18 is the most popular plane to add, with both A2A and A2G capability plus it's carrier-based. It would make sense to include this very popular plane. It'd help much in sales. I agree... hope they are continuing work on it! LOCKON2 is gonna kick some major butt! -Thomp
Cosmonaut Posted April 9, 2005 Posted April 9, 2005 Any naval aircraft is always a huge bonus for me .. so great news on the Mig29K front :) Also I love the flying guillotines (helicopters) but why oh why choose the F-16 over the F-18?? I don’t believe it, it must be a typo .. but don’t worry I can fix it; OGL: A little about the future of a series. What, you do count, aircraft will be in the future versions Lock on? Is planned the full translation of all existing in the game aircraft into the new physical model, the development of aircraft F -18, MiG-29K, helicopters KA -50, Mi-28N, Ah-6в Apache, and a whole series of others. there ya go ..see it wasn’t so hard ;) Cozmo.

Pilotasso Posted April 9, 2005 Posted April 9, 2005 Ill be happy flying the F-16 as the F-18 as well. But remenber that there are a lot more people wanting to fly the plane their country have on their airforces...wich is where the F-16 looks more atractive for most fans. .
MBot Posted April 9, 2005 Author Posted April 9, 2005 The MiG-29K and the helos sound like a good choice for me. Also to remake the LOMAC flyables for the successor sound like a good idea ( altough this must be incredible much work ). But, taking the risk of making myselfe unpopular, the F-16 is slighty dissapointing. There are dozens of fresh, interesting and never done planes but yet it will be another Falcon. Perhaps they can make it the A-model, to have at least 'something' fresh about it. And the realy big question now is, what is the theater and scenario that will allow this planeset in a realistic manner ?
Andrew_McP Posted April 9, 2005 Posted April 9, 2005 the F-16 is slighty dissapointing Yes, but I guess it's there because they could "easily" model the A2A versions, given the overlap with F15 A2A weaponry. I doubt we'll see anything with A2G radar this side of LOMAC2 (or 3). I may be wrong (and would be pleased to be!), but I doubt it. Andrew McP
Trident Posted April 9, 2005 Posted April 9, 2005 I'm also a bit puzzled why they seem to prefer the Falcon. The F/A-18C would really make for an ideal counterpart for the MiG-29K (kick a$$ desicion there ED, BTW :) ) and you wouldn't be in direct competition with Falcon4. The F-16 imposes the same avionics-challenges (including A/G-radar) on ED as the Hornet, so I don't think that's the reason. Infact, the avionics overlap between the F-15 and the F/A-18 is probably bigger than with any other western jet, they're both MDD designs afterall. Hell, the Hornet even uses an adaption of the F-15's MSIP HOTAS :)
Merlin Posted April 9, 2005 Posted April 9, 2005 I would be happy with any US multirole fighter, but if I had to choose, it would be the F18, it would fit in very well with the current planeset.
Trident Posted April 9, 2005 Posted April 9, 2005 Oh, before I forget: THANKS ED for deciding to migrate the other flyable aircraft to the AFM! Let's hope this happens as soon as possible (1.2?) :D

Raven68 Posted April 9, 2005 Posted April 9, 2005 Anyone notice in the interview that he said the KA-50 is done already? I'm not a rotor nut..but I know a few of your are..... .. makes me think... If there is more than one helo fan (rotor nut)... then are you all called "collective" nuts? :) As far as helo's go I would love to them in the future addon/s. Do any of you guys remember Janes: Longbow2 ?? That game was really kick ass to me and it was very popular. I do wonder though...'KA-50 done already'??. I am assuming the FM is already in place for vertical flight. This makes wonder also if it is a possibilty to see the AV-8 Harrier for a future addon. I would love to see that soon. I know the guys at Thunder Works are developing something along those lines but they do not indicate any time table for release (at least I have not noticed one).

suntrace1 Posted April 9, 2005 Posted April 9, 2005 What Lomac really needs now, is a dynamic campain. That would make this sim look and feel alive.
bflagg Posted April 9, 2005 Posted April 9, 2005 What Lomac really needs now, is a dynamic campain. That would make this sim look and feel alive. I've been saying that since day 2 of the 1.0 release (amongst many others). Most gave up.... Thanks, Brett
Cosmonaut Posted April 9, 2005 Posted April 9, 2005 LOL... nice try... LOL You cant blame a guy for trying lol As for the Harrier!! Yess good idea I forgot about that.. it would definitely run the “lockon unique-o meter” off the scale… just as long as they do the F-18 first ;) Cozmo.

But remenber that there are a lot more people wanting to fly the plane their country have on their airforces...wich is where the F-16 looks more atractive for most fans. Well as for us Aussies We dont have any F16's. Only F18's
Skywall23 Posted April 9, 2005 Posted April 9, 2005 Well as for us Aussies We dont have any F16's. Only F18's Well as for us europeans (belgians, dutch, polish, portuguese, danish and norwegians), we dont have any F-18s , but rather F-16s. ;) :) :p
355th_Thomp Posted April 9, 2005 Posted April 9, 2005 Work has already been done on the F/A-18, it would complement the MiG-29K and it overlaps some of the systems found on the F-15. It doesnt take a rocket scientist to see it would be a perfect choice!! To balance out the sim, I definately feel that the NATO side needs a carrier based aircraft. The GR-7 would be nice, very nice indeed. Its number two on my wish list, but the F/A-18 is on the top. Just for the simple reason that even though there have been similar sim's before, none have been able to reproduce it as well as I'm sure ED would. F/A-18's have been poor in aerodynamics, in flight physics and in realism. A carrier based aircraft is what is missing, and the logical choice would be the F/A-18C. ED has the technical expertise and the muscle to do it and it has done work on it already, all we need is for that to be completed! -Thomp ps. sorry, im biased! :D
Outlaw24 Posted April 9, 2005 Posted April 9, 2005 Good news, I also would perfer the F-18 over the F-16. A NATO carrier base aircraft with A2A and A2G capabilities would just make this great sim even greater. Even if carrier landings are not possible a land base F-18 would still be good.

nunsuch Posted April 9, 2005 Posted April 9, 2005 What about the Mirage 2000C it is a Nato multirole noncarrier capable aircraft not made by either the U.S. or Russia and used by several countries. It would be the only delta wing aircraft in the game, I don't think that the early versions had ground attack radar but maybe they did. I think it would be a more original choice than either the F/A-18 or the F-16, when was the last time you heard of a Mirage 2000 sim? My favorite would be a Mig-31B/E though that would be the best:cool: .

nunsuch Posted April 10, 2005 Posted April 10, 2005 You win Alpha but who needs carrier capability in the black sea anyway(except the Russians and their "Aviation Cruiser")? Besides although the 2000C hasn't operated on the Degaul I was almost postive some kind of 2000 had maybe it was an "N" now that would be fun "N" stands for Nuke! Making the Mirage 2000C would make a lot of French people happy thats for sure!
uhoh7 Posted April 10, 2005 Posted April 10, 2005 I will be very happy with the F-16, espcially if we see a quality flight model and AG radar. The Helos are going to be VERY VERY interesting. Haven't flown one since apache havoc, comanche hokum was first released. Online flights with helos will be awesome....I hope!

Alfa Posted April 10, 2005 Posted April 10, 2005 You win Alpha but who needs carrier capability in the black sea anyway(except the Russians and their "Aviation Cruiser")? We need carrier capability full stop - Black Sea or elsewhere, so for what it is worth, I also think the F/A-18C would be preferable to the F-16. But then I am just thrilled about the MiG-29K :D . Besides although the 2000C hasn't operated on the Degaul I was almost postive some kind of 2000 had maybe it was an "N" now that would be fun "N" stands for Nuke!
