Next DCS (US) Fixed Wing Aircraft Wish List

[The_Pharoah]

how about an A6 Intruder? Just confirmed with Razbam on their Facebook site. My comment was: "Would be great if you could get an A6 into DCS the more vietnam era a/c we have, the better"

Response from Razbam: "will happen, already scheduled"

 

Absolutely love Vietnam era a/c. All we need is a North Vietnam map to go with it.

Didnt you get the news that newer radar systems detect the so called "stealth" aircraft easily? :music_whistling:

 

 

Article on Pupular Mechanics:

 

"Asked if the new seekers could track and destroy an F-35, Shalaev grins and says, "Well, we're going to try.""

 

:D

 

I don't we all fully comprehend just how vastly more capable the F22 is compared to fighters in the F15 and Su27 generation. Think F16 vs Mig15 and you might be close. Perhaps watching the F14 A6M battles in The Final Countdown would be an exaggeration, but you get the idea.

 

Maybe he didn't read the papers where air forces are actually quite worried about their missiles being almost completely ineffective against F-22's.

 

After all, those seekers don't use magic - if you've got 1/8th the range on a fighter radar, you've got about 1/8th on the seeker as well, and that's a rather bad situation.

 

Yeah, and the ability to use stealth and engage without an enemy even realizing it is huge.

 

I would like to see the F22 modeled as AI in dcs.

 

I think this could be done well. Certainly, they would be a great option for mission creators to add color and variety, but I don't think they belong as a DCS module controlled by players.

A6 is a great idea. I think we will end up seeing more stuff from this era as it is suited to what DCS does really well: getting an accurate representation of a real aircraft and modeling it in high fidelity.

That is Great news...More Carrier OPs!!!!

 

The Map should include all of Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia minimum

I'm good with this. For some reason I am not very excited for anything after dessert storm era. I am not sure if its because the real bread and butter of the systems is most likely classified and fudged or i am just intimidated with all the switchology..

I've posted on this before...DCSW would be WELL suited for a Vietnam era module or campaign or something. Think about it:

 

1. Map of SEA or modelling North Vietnam with maybe the northern parts of South Vietnam;

2. Modelling the main a/c of that era (F105, F4, A6, A4, F100, A-1 Skyraider, Mig 17, 19, AH1). We already have the Mig 21 and A7 II, which are Vietnam era a/c, under construction and the Huey done. Whilst it would be great to have all those a/c, even if we had say the F105 (main fighter/bomber), F4 and Mig 21...thats a great start.

3. Modelling of the SAM, AAA threat during that time (which we could employ using CA).

4. Modelling carrier ops (A6, F4, A-1, A4, A7)

 

Now THATs what I'm waiting for.

Doesn't this game already have more Migs than US aircraft. As it stands you have a choice of the A-10 or F-15. I would like to see the F-18e, F-22, and F-35. Bring the game up to date with modern US planes. DCS seems to be the most advanced combat flight sim so its sad to see it missing US planes that Janes EA and Novalogic had back years ago.

I wouldn't say the A-6 is just Vietnam era. The A-6E (which absolutely should be the subject version) served from 1971 to 1997. 26 years of pickles in the barrel.

 

I'm happy for either version, however I understand (from an update a few months ago) that ED are looking at specific wars or eras or something eg. Vietnam, Korea, etc so I'm assuming they'd have to have a/c, etc from that era so you could jump into a server running a Vietnam campaign for example and know you won't be facing an F15 or Mig29.

[FLEXCopMNPD]

I would LOVE to see a Vietnam themed release of aircraft. The A1 Skyraider is one of my all time faves. Couple that with the Huey and you have some CSAR goodness going on. A Jolly Green would be cool too. And a Skyhawk, and an Intruder, and..... lol

 

Would definitely need a new "world" to fly in though.

 

Love the idea and a lot of those a/c could be used for the 60s/70s middle eastern conflicts too.

The point of DCS is that the team uses de-classified data to model their aircraft. Therefore, you'll never see newer aircraft anytime soon. Not to mention that I think the -22 and -35 are terrible subjects for a DCS module.

Thats why I think we won't get an Apache or updated Cobra for a while. Having said that...they needed something to model the A10C on. Funny, given they're based in Russia...and the A10C is a modern day US fighter/bomber - how'd they manage that one?

[QGEMjzkYIekAjwKyo92S]

Other companies like Janes EA and Novalogic were able to make simulators for the F-18 super hornet, F-16 and F-22. DCS did manage to create the A10 and F15. I think DCS can pull it off.

From the manual:

The Fighter Collection / Eagle Dynamics has been developing a high-fidelity Desk Top Simulation (DTS) of the A-10C for the U.S. Air National Guard for the past several years, giving us a tremendous access to A-10C information. We were fortunate enough to work out an agreement with our client to release an entertainment version of this simulation.

Navalogic... Simulator... hum... :music_whistling:

 

 

Anyway, I didn't follow DCS news for a long time... But it's official the F-18C is the next DCS aircraft ?

[IonicRipper]

Its been confirmed ED is working on the F/A-18 but release window is anyones guess at this point.

[McBlemmen]

I dont get the huge hype over F18's... theyre ugly planes.

 

F14 pls

Defence contract.

Well I think once they get the F-18 done they should do the F-22 the can get almost all the info they need from the net and Lockheed. Novalogic was able to create a very accurate F-22 simulator so did DID with Total air war. DCS could really bring this model up to date. F22 Lightning 3 still runs on windows 7 in compatibility mode but it is at low res. Not the nice 1920x1080 resolution. Come on DCS you can do it. You have the best Flight sim going with Flaming cliffs 3 included.

I believe this is an overstatement of the available information. The 3rd Party developing the F18 Super Hornet (Coretex) have already said they will do the "best they can", which implies there will be holes.

Perhaps a better way of stating this is that you enjoyed their simulation a lot and found it to be a good simulation. However (and I could be wrong) I doubt that you have flown an F22 in RL, so I don't think you can really say that the previous simulations of the F22 were "very accurate".

 

It has been brought up many times and in different threads that they (ED) won't be chasing after the latest gen of aircraft (Gen 5) due to the lack of publicly available data / information / detail and because most of the intricacies of those aircraft are in their very top secret avionics suites.

 

One other thing that has been pointed out is that an F22 would greatly unbalance the SIM.

 

Not trying to be a party pooper and I certainly understand your desire. And hey! It is okay to make requests!

[Voodoo-chacal]

Please DCS do module f-16

 

when I see this kind of video makes me sad to know that the DCS does not have the module F-16

 

 

 

I want to fly the F-16 made ​​by DCS superior to any other simulator

[Nealius]

The only difference between a DCS module and BMS will be the graphics, weather, and maybe some of the weapons ystems that still need tweaking...

[Napa]

Sooner or later it will happen. The F-16 has the biggest fan base in the combat flight sim community. ED or a 3rd party dev will do it at some point. It's good business to bring F-16s into DCS world. But it will get in line because something even better is around the corner - F/A-18C with carrier ops. :)

Totally agree! :thumbup:

[SkateZilla]

BMS's Campaign stomps EDs... just sayin'

Yeah, DCS series should work on campaign.

[IonicRipper]

I've been thinking that for months: All DCS needs is a good dynamic campaign.
