KaspeR32 Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 http://www.facebook.com/#!/eagle.dynamics I feel that the F-15C would be the most practical plane they could do. BUT, don't you think ED wants the element of surprise for a reason? It could honestly be a fighter that nobody is expecting. I mean it is odd, all those pictures of the F-18 on their page.

Jona33 Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 It'll probably be the F-16 if they do do a fighter, it's really popular and there are probably the stats for it. Always remember. I don't have a clue what I'm doing

I mean it is odd, all those pictures of the F-18 on their page. the photo album is limited :( didnt see any Hornet or Eagle or Viper . I wouldn't expect an F-15 as i suspect they'd want maybe to make a circle away from LO flyables before returning back to those .... If it would be an F-15 in this case i'd suspect a DCS Strike Eagle as DCS A-10 is C and not A (the work done for the USAF project ofcourse played a decisive role i suppose in this though) . i7 880 | HD 7870 | 8 Gb DDR3 1600 | ECS P55H-A | OCZ Vertex 2 180 | Intel 330 180 | WD 500 AAKS | 2x WD 2T Green | Enermax Liberty 620 | CH Combatstick & Throttle | TrackIR 3 | HP ZR24W | Windows 7 x64

Jona33 Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 DCS strike eagle would be cool but you'd have to let AI do the weapons in single player and that might be tricky to make it do what you want. Always remember. I don't have a clue what I'm doing

Dimebag1 Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 +1 Don't be surprised if its a Harrier II :P . Are there any harriers still in service with the US? I thought it was a military contract for an in service aircraft. Also I would think it would be an aircraft which has undergone some kind of avionics upgrade, which might require a training simulator, as the warthog did for a-c model. So what does that leave us with? Its obviously gonna strart with an F, so we got the 15, 16, 18, and the stealth 22 and 35, which are not very likely due to their secrecy. I'd prefer either the f-16 or f-18. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

The Marines will still operate the latest upgrade of Harrier II untill they get the F-35B. i dont think there would be any further upgrade for the Harriers, they are already on the A-10C avionics level by their last upgrade program (AV-8B+ Harrier II Plus) .

I'd prefer either the f-16 or f-18. British Harrier II are being retired this month (or the next) as announced back in 2010. If ED developed such a sim in the past, now that the aircraft is retiring, maybe it got the "green light" to release a detailed sim of the Harrier II. For now we got a sim for Ka-50 which had no avionics upgrades recently and the operational Ka-50 number is officially 15. The aircraft won't be produced as we know it any longer BUT still ED had a contract. So... if you can get a contract for a helicopter which counts 15 operational units worldwide almost everything seems quite possible. Personally the Harrier II would be a nice addition to the DCS series in my opinion! +1 for the bloody Harrier II! 1
Jonay Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 (edited) Why American or Russian? What about a Gripen/Rafale/Typhoon/Mirage2000 or something like that! Edited March 23, 2011 by Jonay
Jona33 Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 Typhoon would be pretty cool but the Harrier would still be way more awesome Always remember. I don't have a clue what I'm doing
YoYo Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 Rafale is very actual ;) Webmaster of http://www.yoyosims.pl Win 10 64, i9-13900 KF, RTX 5090 32Gb OC, RAM 64Gb Corsair Vengeance LED OC@3600MHz,, 3xSSD+3xSSD M.2 NVMe, Predator XB271HU res.2560x1440 27'' G-sync, Sound Blaster Z + 5.1, TiR5, [MSFS, P3Dv5, DCS, RoF, Condor2, IL-2 CoD/BoX] VR fly only: Meta Quest Pro
Jona33 Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 Rafale's pretty good but in my opinion the Harrier's just better than everything because of the VTOL Always remember. I don't have a clue what I'm doing
GGTharos Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 Yeah. That VTOL gives it a whole 90 sec of hovering with the ability to carry two bombs a whole 50nm into combat! Rafale's pretty good but in my opinion the Harrier's just better than everything because of the VTOL [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda
Jona33 Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 Probably isn't too good for the engine if you do that though Always remember. I don't have a clue what I'm doing

Jona33 Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 BTW, whatever aircraft they make next they should include proper paratroopers Always remember. I don't have a clue what I'm doing

Dimebag1 Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 I would think the avionics upgrade would be the impetus for the military to drop a big piece of change on a DTS. I'm not sure but I think the fact the ka-50 is russian gave Ed the much needed detail to pull off black shark, did they even have a military contract for that one? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
