Next DCS (US) Fixed Wing Aircraft Wish List

[Dimebag]

Lmao riboyster, I can't imagine there is much info on that bird. Also, DCS seems to focus on warfare within our atmosphere.

[EtherealN]

isn't it a bit.... OP ?!:music_whistling::huh:

 

Not really, submarines are hard to nail from the air, but with one of those puppies you don't need quite as good a fix to nail it.

Although I would personally enjoy a simulator built around something other than a fighter aircraft or attack helicopter (both of which I feel like have been done to death), I don't feel like market for such a product is very large. I think it needs to be something that's very "maneuvery", and probably it needs to be able to pew-pew. This rules out things like the SR-71 (challenging, but not very "maneuvery" flying) or SAR helicopters (not pew-pewy), which would be great fun for some of us, but not many others.

 

With that in mind, I'd like to humbly suggest the B-1B might make an excellent subject for the next DCS entry. Challenging, high-speed, nap-of-the-earth flying coupled with an awful lot of destructive potential. It'd also be a pretty unique sim experience.

B1B is not very exciting for a combat sim.

Starfox! Do a barrel roll!

Starfox! Do a barrel roll!

 

:D

 

 

But in all seriousness: DCS needs to make a Cobra simulator. I've wanted to fly one ever since Comanche 3.

The problem with that is that (from what I understand) the guys at DCS are not interested in modeling aircraft that need more than one crewmember. A lot of people want the Apache, but there aren't any one-seat versions around. I'd imagine the pilot workload for a single dude sitting in a B-1 would be massive.

Rather than not interested, they just still don't know how to best achieve it or maybe some technical issue.

[GGTharos]

It is full of issues. Not impossible, just quite a piece of work.

[Dimebag]

Well they obviously are willing to take on the challenge as the apache was on the cards and probably still is as long as the future success of the DCS series continues.

Actually, the real problem is that it's a B-1B. It's the queen of the Air Force!

 

 

...... hangar queen.

 

Kidding aside I think a B-1 would actually be a pretty interesting aircraft to fly. Or crash.

Pokemon ?

 

Someone read to much about a strange CERN experiment result... :-)

[jp203000]

We should stop discussing this topic,don't you think it is boring!

[Mt5_Roie]

I think the F/A-18 Super hornet would be cool. You should be able to find all the details and manuals on it that you need. You could even add a interesting twist to multiplayer by having a friend be the backseat guy.

[GGTharos]

Really? Where?

 

You should be able to find all the details and manuals on it that you need.

[Dimebag]

Natops manual is a start, but far from all encompassing.

[GGTharos]

Yes, we're all aware of the NATOPS manual. ;)

 

And after that the question becomes: Can it be used legally?

[Mt5_Roie]

Well they don't have many systems like the weapon systems, but at least they offer a good start. If you look at:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NATOPS

 

You can see they actually have the superhornet one pictured right there.

[GGTharos]

Yes, like I said - we know about NATOPS. I'm still questioning your statement:

I left wags many personal messages to ask for how long they want to keep it a secret , but I got no response.

Sure you got a response, you just didn't get it. ;)

Why is the tail higher than the roof? This could end up with one or two technical difficulties. :smilewink:
