Next DCS (US) Fixed Wing Aircraft Wish List

[KingKenny04]

Anyone mind if I throw a curveball in here?

 

The A-4 Skyhawk

 

 

One of the sexiest planes to ever fly. Get the F-8, A-7, F-4, Mig-17, and Mig-21 in there, and we have a proper Vietnam sim, gents!

DCS C-17 Globemaster? Can I get an AMEN!!!

 

 

 

 

With logistics now modelled.. All we need are crate-able units for logistics, things that include;

1- Vikhr boxes

2- Rockets (S-type Russian, and M151 (or whatever) for US)

3- Mk-80's series

4- Maverick racks or boxes

5- Tanks (Combined arms + C-17 drop would be a huge jawbreaker for any of us!!!)

6- GAU-8 munition drums or 2K12 for the shark and the hog, as well as .50 cal magazine boxes for P-51 and the like for UH-1H.

 

 

or on a more (general) view: Loading up the master with trucks of munition, fuel, and ammo, as well as command trucks.

 

With that in mind, lets talk about the interior design of compartments, the release interface (obviously rail or , the loading interface (such as missile carts or armament loaders, stackers and trailers), the capacity and fuel management interface, and the crew stations interface. Am I missing something?

 

 

 

 

You can fit anything inside a C-17... I MEAN ANYTHING!!!!

 

 

 

 

It doesn't have to be 100% authentic, but I'm sure flight dynamics come into play. I look at it as something of monstrosity, grandeur, and pride. We can practically drop zillions of bombs (perhaps carpet bomb) enemy strongholds or even influence combined arms in someway by logistic and strategic unloading of units.

 

fVck the bombs.. We can use those paratroopers AK and RPG as parachute-able units. Afterall, they are paratroopers, right?

 

Oh, and something to inspire:

 

 

 

Problem is, the takeoff speed may require altering or even elongating the runway distances for default fields, something worth mentioning.

What are you going to use to fly in the crew and equipment to lengthen the runways? ;)

[Python]

A C-17 could land in my garden ;) I'd love to see some of the bigger military stuff. This and the VC-10 in particular.

[basset]

The Globemaster only needs a short runway.

 

The notes say it only used 2400ft of runway.

 

Here is a video of one landing and take off at a small airport in California, by mistake.

The airbase where I work has c-17s and they can be seen practicing combat patterns, landings and drops. Sometimes I think that just because the c-17 has a stick instead of a yoke they like to pretend its a fighter Haha.

Not sure of the validity of this story but I heard when we proposed the c-17 to the Canadians we told them it was good to go for unpaved runways... While it is possible to operate in those conditions the repeated beating from gravel and rocks can tear up the composite doors. I work in the structure shop and we have a great advanced composite facility and being the good neibors that we are, we let the Canadians use are facilities to repaire their doors that look like Swiss cheese.

strap-on rocketsssssss :D

Think this is a C-5. I was a crew chief on 17s for six years and if my memory serves me correct, only one M1 can be transported at a time on a 17.

 

I would love to play DCS C-17, but if you want to make it realistic, Eagle Dynamics is going to have to create a bar in the game where all the heavy crews can get blacked out drunk.

Not everything :)

Here's a video my friend took while we were in Afghanistan of a C-17 landing on our dirt runway.

Now that would be taking things to a new level... the future is bright indeed for DCS ;)

[PelicanPilot]

ED, add the F/A-18F Super Hornet with Australia as one of the countries.

[pakster]

That at the moment it is a bit uneven and the Americans certainly need something a bit more modern than the F-15C. Something that can keep up with the Russian aircraft, so my suggestion to help the poor Americans is......

 

EUROFIGHTER :)

What do you mean keep up with Russian ones already the F15c is dominate in the multiplayer with so many over kill vs Su27s and the Su33. With that ED is updating Western Hardware and Russian's that need to be updated. It is almost 20 years with the flanker series then lock on and now DCS: Wolrd but they didn't upgrade any flyable Flanker with the modern one. So my friend with F15c with its capable radar and fire and forgot 120c versus the STONE AGE Russian fighters you don't need to worry about keeping up with Russians. Its ED jobs to put at least 4++ generation fighters in DCS world to keep up with the Americans ones !.

[Badjohnny]

Can no one spot a deliberate 'dig' at the americans?? No sense of humour!!

[PFunk1606688187]

We need an F-14 badly so that people can finally start using the Top Gun soundtrack to make hilarious DCS videos.

[jadebullet]

What I would love, but we will never get is a DCS AC-119K Stinger simulator.

[pakster]

Hahahaha...lolz :megalol:

 

I just can't wait for DCS F35 Vs DCS F18 super hornet.:pilotfly:

 

Check this video out:

F-14's have been decommissioned for 18 years.

Bump!

The last F-14s were decommissioned in 2006. So unless my math is wrong it's only been 7 years...

I stand corrected Sept 22nd 2006. Must have been D/E/F. That thing was a beast.

They only went up to D. There are E and F Hornets though.
