F-19 Stealth Fighter :-)

 

A recent discussion over at SimHQ (titled Flightsim Fans) prompted me to post this idea -- develop an a/c loosely based on the old F-19 Stealth Fighter (from MicroProse & Testors).

 

Ya ya, I know it's not 'realistic', but I think it would be a fantastic marketing/revenue idea.

 

And it just might provide a fun kick in the pants to those old duffers who have a joystick in a closet that they haven't seen for a while.

Well there never actually was an F-19, that was a guess that many made incorrectly in reference to the REAL plane that was the F-117... (which was also an oddity because that plane was NOT a fighter it was a stealthy attack plane so the F designation was also a facade..) Anyway, an argument could be made that ED could create an F-117 fighter plane for DCS, but I doubt that many would be too interested in it due to it's VERY limited capabilities.. It is NOT a figher and could barely defend itself if the enemy ever actually SAW it and as an attack plane it was extremely limited as it could only carry one bomb. From a gaming perspective, pretty bland stuff when compared to the A-10 or the possibility of the Hornet being offered in the future..

 

Just my opinion mind you...

Hello,

I think F-14 would be interesting choice.

We can consider Tomcat as alternative version of su-33 may be.

But question is what about 2th seat of tomcat? Can it used to be in multiplayer? I'm in cooperation among two pilot would be new era in simulator game world. Isnt it?

 

Regards.

Yes, by AF bean counters to get the bird approved and funded by Congress.

It's capabilities were far from limited. It does its mission, or I should say did, quite well and better than anything else flying at the time.

 

 

It is NOT a figher and could barely defend itself if the enemy ever actually SAW it and as an attack plane it was extremely limited as it could only carry one bomb.

In fact the F-117 had two weapons bays. Normally it carried 2x2,000 lb bombs. But I guess you would rather load your A-10 with an unrealistic loadout and take on the entire Russian army without reloading/refueling?

 

The F-117 was never designed to defend itself. It was designed to ingress -> destroy a high valued target -> egress, all without being "seen." Heck the F-117 never even had a "gun."

Just my opinion mind you...

 

There are plenty on these forums that would jump at the chance to fly a properly modeled F-117. Yes, I think an F-18 would be more exciting. That does not preclude the joy of another specialized AC.

 

Also by your logic, you probably won't want the F-18C either. After all a typical combat load these days is a bunch of "bags" and one, yes one, bomb.

 

See even in DCS, you will find that the F-18C will guzzle the gas at a faster rate than the A-10C, thus you will put fuel tanks on those pylons you were going to try and load down with 60 mavericks and still take off from a carrier.... (I know an exaggeration - just making a point, don't take it so personal...)

If you're gonna go with that logic, then the Tornado IDS is a way better choice. It's used by so many countries and a great aircraft. The systems would be so much fun to learn and employ. I think RAZBAM had a Tornado on their list but I just hope it's not the F3 ADV. F-4G and even the F-111 would be better choices. The F-14 just doesn't impress me. I'd be happy with the F-16D or F-15E too :joystick:

[FlyNate]

Any two-sweater would be nice if it had MP capabilities. Don't get me wrong... The F-14 is a fine plane but it's just not my thing. I'm highly interested in MP sharing jet cockpits but I probably wouldn't buy the F-14.

[rassy7]

I'm highly interested in MP sharing jet cockpits

 

Ya, me too. I somewhat bought the Huey with the expectation that the shared cockpit part would make its appearance in one of the earlier updates. But then we got the Mi-8 and I drank a beer. Beginning to think it may never come now but I'm for it! F-15E shared would be awesome.

[FlyNate]

I'm equally hopeful for the Tornado IDS, F-15E, F-4G, and/or F-111. The reason is, I am building an A-10C cockpit at the moment and when it's done, I really want to build a two-seater and have the back seat as detailed as the front. That would be fun with an experienced friend. If not, then I'm hoping for an F-16C. I'll just build a Viperpit for it while the wait continues. There's quite a bit of Viper sim parts available. I really want a two-seater from the list above though...

[FlyNate]

The F-4G would be the most fun I think, as long as the Systems are modeled correctly. Wild Weasel missions would be a blast in a real sim pit with a real backseater and correctly modeled systems in the front AND back seats...

[javelina1]

could only wish... :music_whistling: but I'd take the F/A-18.

Gladly!!! ...if it's a D model :thumbup:

That's definitely how I feel!

the "D" would be the best of the best....

 

don't know what it is about that bird, but in either case that inverted gull wing bird is just awesome.

B-52 or B-1B

[uksub]

Frankly, any ACTUAL DCS aircraft would be nice, rather than faffing around with Flaming Cliffs reworks and WW2 fighters (not enough of those around apparently).

 

I really had high hopes when DCS was announced and they released the superb Black Shark and A-10C, as they were aircraft that were different and not the usual target of simming companies.

 

After that it appears ED that are relying on 3rd party developers to provide the excitement. I bought that Huey and that is excellent, I just dont get why they seem to focussing on FC3 at the expense of more interesting fayre.

 

Ho hum.

[GGTharos]

ED always planned to bring 3rd party devs onboard. This way there is more content than ED alone can provide, and leaves ED more leeway to keep upgrading the engine itself.

Because FC3 IS interesting and it brings in quite a bit of revenue. Just because you might not find it interesting does not mean others feel the same way.

Fair play, I could probably have worded it a bit better to be honest, so if I have caused offence then I apologise. Its purely that as I mentioned, your first two products were so good and diverse in terms of what they offered, that I wanted things to carry on in the same vein (I dont think I am alone in that wish).

 

I understand that you need revenue to carry on and that FC3 provides that, I just enjoy the DCS Series and want to see more of it (I dont think I am alone in that either).

 

Again, sorry for the slight bout of grumbling (I am British and we arent allowed to grumble, its the law apparently)

[howie87]

I'm also not a fan of FC3. In my opinion, once you take the time to learn the systems in a study sim you can't go back to survey sims.

 

The flexabilty just isn't there. I love being able to jump into the A-10C and enter my own flight plan and weapons profiles for example.

 

I think there is a place for FC3 though, even though I just see it as a stepping stone for the F/A-18C and future DCS modules.

 

I think when we have some high fidelity fighters I'll be more appreciative of FC3 though, just because we'll have more bandits to shoot at.

 

Spending 20 minutes ramp starting an A-10C and flying 100 miles to the IP is less fun when you're getting shot at by SU-27's. We need something to even the playing field for the high fidelity guys.

 

Give the guys in my squadron a solid multirole platform and I'm sure they'd be more than happy to trade blows with the FC3 crowd.

C130

 

Just a dream I suppose but a C130 in the transport and AC130 ... the gun version first please :joystick::pilotfly:

[cichlidfan]

If they were going to do it then the transport would likely come first since they pretty much have to build it first anyway.

[Mindz i]

I'd like any of the F/A-18 C and up. I know that the newer the aircraft the harder it is to get the info needed to make the sim accurate. So, I'm not expecting the E or F to be made by DCS. And even if it is made by a 3rd party (Coretex Designs), I'd be surprised if it was a Study sim.

 

Now that DCS has the UH-1H and Mi-8M I'm hoping we see some two seat air craft like the AH-64 and F/A-18D or F made by DCS. Maybe that was why we only got single seat aircraft before. Plus, they'd have to model carrier landing accurately. I miss the manual carrier landings from Jane's F/A-18.

 

The F-16 followed by the F-22 would be my next choices.

Voted F-15E, but would be nice to see sometime...

[rajdary]

F22 but any of F14,F15,F16,F18 and even F35A/B would be perfect
