Next DCS (US) Fixed Wing Aircraft Wish List

[jpm1]

i think it's not viable since no linear scenario can be made . radio comms are an important factor of Apache ops . personnally i dream of a SU-24 but i think it canno't be made , scripting the AI would be too tricky . what would be cool it's that the fading away of MSFS makes ED become big enought to provide us with vintage aircraft F-14 , Mig-21

How did longbow handle the non player seat? I never played it, but everyone seems to claim is is still an amazing sim to this day.

 

I would love to see a cobra but same problem exists with the other seat.

 

Seems like the F14 is the easiest to automate the second seat. Not sure if the RIO has the same jobs in an F18/Tornado/or other 2 seat air craft.

 

It was AI controlled , you could dynamically switch seats, and you could also "order2 the other seat to do tasks ("hold fire" , "Hover" etc..)

I believe the AI in DCS is fairly strong (just look at the AI helo's for eg) ... the step to having an independant AI gunner or Pilot might not be too far from possible?

upcoming Combat Helo sim?

What sim?! :huh:

[Poor mans sniper]

What sim?! :huh:

It's a AH-64D simulator featuring a fully click-able cockpit. Oh, you can also walk around the camp or base and arm the heli with any weapons you want before you get into the helo.:joystick:

Do any of you EVER read simHQ?

Thx for clarification. :) Very interesting, indeed.

In Soviet Russia - SimHQ read you. :pilotfly:

 

P.S. BTW, Apache is in my DCS'wish-list, right after the F-16 and MiG-29SMT. ;)

Using that F15 which is in so many of your screen shots would be nice ;)

harrier jump jet would be awesome!

or the trusty old F16

 

Was just looking at some pictures of the A-10C model there and thought why are they always so clean?

Would be nice if after a long flight you get back and the canopy is dirtier maybe some more scratches and on the outside there are some, i don't know exhaust marks or black marks from using the cannon..

Do the F-16,

 

and they can watch the money come in!

I have pretty similar feeling about the Falcon in DCS - of course, HASBRO's 'Falcon 4.0' will stay forever in our hearts and minds, but times are changing - so, time had come to bring the Falcon to the new age of combat sims.

I'm not at all sure that if ED "just" made an F-16 module that this would bring over loads of simmers from the F4xx community.

Sure, they would get a better flight model, better graphics and all that, but I imagine that there's still a lot of stuff that can be done in F4xx sims that cannot be done in DCS.

There's alot of stuff outside of flight model, weapons and instruments that needs to be developed further to really get all those other simmers to DCS.

Not any more ... the gap is closing.

I know there were a -few- complaints about instruments in the Ka-50, but overall they seemed to work fairly well ;)

[jpm1]

... MiG-29SMT. ;)

 

would be a cool choice , after the A-10 an occidental plane a russian plane would be nice . a realistic (not kinda arcade lockon one) Mig 29 plus A2G capability would be nice , we can't have the F-14 a Mig 29 would be cool

I know, and it's all good :)

Maybe I wasn't very clear, but I meant it as instruments and flightmodel and such seems pretty solid, so the stuff "outside" these areas needs some love too. Edited September 16, 2010 by Yellonet

[jpm1]

check this :smilewink:

 

if not a SU-25 definitly a 29 SMT

[GGTharos]

I agree, and so does ED, so things 'outside' are getting some love :)

[comie1]

I have reason to believe that is the next installment ;)

Not 100% or anything just a lot of things seem to point towards it

[Yellonet]

Hrmm.... never really liked the Eagle tbh... I'd much rather have a multirole AC like the F-16 for the next module.

Yep, but to preserve the realism, and keeping in mind, that our RuAF doesn't have any counterpart to A-10(especially block 'C'), i'd wish to see the MiG-29SMT as counterpart to F-16 block 60. And finally, all LOMAC/DCS fans need an excuse of the money, which has been spent on Cougars and CH's! :D

[Pyroflash]

F-15E Strike Eagle.

[BavarianPilot]

F16.

Love the look of this beautiful bird

[Sticky]

Only if it comes with a good dynamic campaign IMO. If not, then the "other side" can have a plane, until they make a good DC, then it is time for F16 yes. I have wished for an F16 or F18 before, but what if it comes without a DC? Better then to wait until they have a DC ready for us IMO.

[Pilotasso]

why would the F-16 specifically had be tied to a dynamic campaign ?

Not F16 specifically, but as you can see I wrote F16 and F18, and the very simple reason is that I want a DC and if there is no DC then I would rather see my favourite planes pushed further up in the DCS to do list ;) Get it? I dont want to fly my favourite planes in a non DC environment. Very simple. But this is just my opinion, and I wrote IMO twice :P

[Nickhawk]

F16.

yeah F-16 would rock! because its a Multirole fighter and you can fly every mission that all other aircrafts can do! :pilotfly:
