It is actually a pretty simple aircraft, but many people dislike the fact that its Computer and HUD are very primitive

I wouldnt know any different,lol,since I dont have any of the more modern aircraft. Would the Viggen be a good transition coming from the Mirage F1??

I think the Mirage F1 and Viggen would be reasonably similar, since they are around the same age, and are both European.

No, not really. The Viggen has a very particular non-Nato interface. The Mirage even though french and distinct from US jets is still much closer to them than the Viggen (IMHO!!!).
Apart from that, the F1 is a nimble, light fighter with ground attack capabilites, whereas the Viggen is an penetrator kind ground attack first and foremost.

I don't have anything against the Viggen, but I think it is the most distinct aircraft we have in DCS - for better or worse.

...I might add, that the Viggen is one of the few DCS Aircraft I own but absolutely never fly (so is the hornet by the way). Don't ask me why.
So take my opinion bout it with a grain of salt.

I absolutely use the living daylight out of the Mi-8 though.....

I'd have to say the FA18 + supercarrier. Jack of all trades, and carrier ops! Very fond of the AV-8B, F-14. UH-1 is my favorite helicopter to fly, although the AH-64 is more useful in combat situations. (Really hoping that the DCE has a lot more use for logistics like the UH-1, and C-130).

What would be interesting to see though is the correlation of favorite aircraft vs the first aircraft someone learned in. Had I purchased the F-14 first, and not the F/A-18, would it be my favorite? Had I purchased the Mi-8 instead of the UH-1, would I favor it? I have no idea on that myself, but I suspect if we compared people's favorite's and their first purchases - we could see a pattern.

It really is a masterpiece, that one. And I love that great big picture window in the front. What a pleasure to fly.

If I had a christmas wish free from ED, I would wish for a makeover. Just visuals and maybe sound.

Yup,  but a new model instead of just some newer textures
