beaupower32 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 There will be no actual F-35 over there, only the simulator or mock up. All flyable F-35's are here in the US. As a matter of fact, I am pretty lucky to work on AF-7 here at Edwards AFB in California as a crew chief. Pretty fun job. 1 "There is always a small microcosm of people who need to explain away their suckage" [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frostiken Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 A crew chief who called his job 'fun'? Now I've seen everything. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beaupower32 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Though rare, yeah, its fun. Probably also due to the fact that its still a new system that we are trying to work all the bugs out of. Give it a year at the most, and I will be hating it like any other airplane.

Zakatak Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 (edited) It can't meet it's budget demands. Gee, that is unheard of in modern military aircraft! F-35 is in a hardly unique economical situation. F-4, F-14, F-15, F-22 all suffered similar beginnings. Edited July 28, 2011 by Zakatak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cali Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 The first operational vaporware F-35 landed at some airbase somewhere in the US some short time ago. Or so they say.

thaisocom Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Other than U.S. and Russian jets, don't you think European jets such as Euro Fighter, Rafale, Gripen and etc. would be a nice choice as well?

Spudman Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 (edited) Other dedicated aircraft sims. How about other aircraft; you have all the aircraft on LO, you have the Hokum/Black Shark, & you have the Hog. So how about maybe the Apache Longbow, or a couple of the later model Hinds, or even the Mil Mi-28 Havoc. The Apache Longbow would be sweet, especially if it were as detailed as the A-10C. The AH-1Z Viper wouldn't be a bad choice for a next aircraft either. I do believe that the Longbow would get more votes though.

Laud Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 How about other aircraft; you have all the aircraft on LO Mate, you can't really compare the LO aircraft to a DCS aircraft. So every request wether for a fixed wing of any type or a helicopter is kinda valid. :smartass: 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Asus ROG STRIX Z390-F Gaming, Intel Core i7 9700k , 32gb Corsair DDR4-3200 Asus RTX 2070 super, Samsung 970 EVO Plus M2, Win10 64bit, Acer XZ321QU (WQHD) TM HOTAS Warthog, SAITEK Rudder Pedals, TIR 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airmage Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 SU-35 for DCS Hi, personally i'd rather have a 4th generation Flanker to fly in DCS. It would integrate much better in the existing environement rather than a stealth fighter, keeping the balance. Besides, the SU-35 is a terrific multirole, and most important is a flanker with R77 ARH missile. Lets hope it happens! Airmage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neutryno Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 yeah Su-35 would be an excelent idea, moreover a TVS could come as soemthing new to DCS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLANKERATOR Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 I don't think there is enough declassified data about the Su-35. It is after all, the best Multirole Fighter RuAF has at the moment, until PAK-FA enters service. An Su-30 or Su-27SM or even MiG-29K would make me a happy DCS customer.

Jona33 Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 A mig-29K would also make me happy. TBH most carrier aircraft would make me happy. Less interested in an Su-33 but I'd still buy it. It obviously isn't next as it was confirmed it was a US fixed wing fighter but maybe after that. Always remember.

BBi Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 I don't know if this has been discussed before, but the F-15 3d model we currently have in DCS A-10C is of insanely high quality, on par with the A-10. All other aircraft have much lower polygon/texture 3d models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tflash Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Enough with those 4th gen toyplanes and their fancy arcade-like avionics! We need F-4E Phantom II!

This community is hungry for the next DCS, give us a scrap of info. :D seriously, you know ED. They like to make us mad on waiting for somethings new. So take your time and keep on playing with the things you have and things to come. We´ll have a quite new gaming experience soon when the KA-50 and the Hog will use the same Area. Once Nevada will be released at the end of the Year this experience will expand so much more...and suddenly you´ll recieve the first information about the new DCS Module...you´ll see.

Zakatak Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 (edited) Avro Arrow MkII, pretty please? The US got our government to kill this program off so we could buy some shitty missiles and F-101 Voodoo's instead. Step above anything Russia or USA had in the late50's/early 60's. 60,000+ lbs of thrust, side looking radar, retractable missile bays, Mach 3, 70,000ft, all that jazz. Not the MkI though, those just had some Pratt & Whitney J75's for testing purposes. This thing and the TSR.2 could have been world-beaters. Also, Space Shuttle had alot of roots in this, so thank the designers of this plane. Edited August 3, 2011 by Zakatak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
