Next DCS (US) Fixed Wing Aircraft Wish List

[Speed]

Have a look now!

 

No. It's already too late. All previous poll options and choices needed to have been eliminated.

 

A new topic is what is really needed.

DCS:Hornet would be great, DCS:Viper would be fantastic, but DCS:Strike Eagle would redefine epic.

 

I don't think ED is up to the challenge of the F-15Es avionics integration though... :D :D :D

 

It would be a very quick and simple aircraft to model and its popularity means you'll sell alot of copys considering F4AF did so well.

 

Maybe they should do an F-16 sim just to ride on the coattails of all the scrubs who are obsessed with this very unthrilling airframe. And then maybe the next sim company should come along and do the same thing, since ED's F-16 sold so well.

 

And then when the sim industry is almost totally dead and the F-16 is long since mothballed, we can all look back and go 'Good thing we have a dozen simulations of the same stupid aircraft that has been replaced by the F-35, that all model the same avionics and do the same thing, too bad the last F-15E simulator was 1998, and this is the only fighter that still doesn't have a replacement'.

 

Good riddance, go play Falcon 4 BMS if you love it so much, because it's 90% the exact same game that ED could deliver.

But then again, there is no real point to doing a new topic about the most wanted next DCS aircraft.

 

1) It probably can't be F-15E or F/A-18E, which would be the natural winners, because they are probably too highly classified for DCS fidelity.

2) That leaves us with only three real options for a "US fixed-wing fighter": F-15C, F-16C, and F/A-18C.

3) Much to Frostiken's chagrin, I'm pretty sure that F/A-18C would win the above popularity contest, followed by F-16C, and lastly, F-15C. I would be shocked to see a different outcome. Most people want a multirole fighter, that puts F-15C in last place. Carrier take-offs and landings makes the F/A-18C "sexier" than the F-16C, not to mention the larger payload capacity.

I'd rather see the F/A-18 than another crummy F-16 sim, but in terms of actually being unique and interesting the F-15E is waaaay ahead of that by a massive margin. I think the F-15Es hurdle will be technical challenges... the classification isn't really that huge a deal. TEWS and radar, but that's classified in the F-16 and the F/A-18 as well.

Well, not to mention that ED has to consider how profitable a two-seater fully realistic jet sim is. Dude, I'd die of happiness were it F-15E, but I'm just trying to keep it realistic... it's interesting though that you say it there wouldn't be that much more if any more classified material in an F-15E than in an F-16C and F-18C... makes me hopeful :D

[jp203000]

What about F16E?

[Cedaway]

What about F16E?

 

Sure the AN/APG-80 AESA perfs are 'good for public release'... :smilewink:

 

In appart from UAE, who bought F-16 Blck60? It is not a 'popular' aircraft and still confidential.

Only F-18 can win this fight :] NAVY FOREVA !

How do I change my vote. The polls have changed!

[Sanch0]

Poll has been extended so my vote goes for F-16C. F-18C avionics will be older than avionics implemented in last F-16C blocks.

 

Can my vote go to Fighting Falcon?

[hitman]

I don't think ED is up to the challenge of the F-15Es avionics integration though... :D :D :D

Thank god your opinion is just one voice. Everyone here is crying out for an F-15E simulation. What kind of fun is that? Its a flying pig, and the A-10 does a better job at it than the E-turkey does.

 

Oh...and the F-16 (the most technologically advanced 4th gen fighter in the world, btw...) isnt going away any time soon. Hate to burst your bubble.

[Demongornot]

The next aircraft can be an F/A-18E Super Hornet !!!

First cause ED make first a military simulator, and after we see civil adaptation, and military don't want to training pilot with old aircraft, and don't forget that the A10C in enter in service since 2006, its a resent aircraft and like the Super Hornet its an big upgrade of the previous version.

And second, don't forget that the Super Hornet have know multiple upgrades and the first Super Hornet have an APG-73 like the F/A-18C Hornet, the last upgrade its with an APG-79 and yes the 79 its classified but the old 73 (an upgrade of the APG-65) i don't think so cause we see the 73 since 1980s

And its the same thing for every avionic part, the Super Hornet in the first version don't have extremely more resent and advanced avionic than the C variant but more advantage anyways, and with the F-35 with now the first in service multirole fighter carrier capable its, i think what the US Army want most training USAF and too NAVY pilots, the F-15 Silent Eagle will coming but maybe we will able to see the same thing for the F/A-18 if its not canceled.

 

Then, maybe the Super Hornet can be the next aircraft, the F-15E Strike Eagle i don't think so cause dual seat can be a big problem and the F-16 i don't think too...

But maybe the F-15 C for only air superiority mission bu multirole its better and ED know that...

 

But imagine if the next is : DCS F-8E Crusader :D

[joey45]

^^ nope. The US Gov't wouldn't give ED permission to do so.

Hey, I have that same aircraft in mine!

 

(the most technologically advanced 4th gen fighter in the world, btw...)

Hahahahahahahahahaha *snort* HAHAHAHHAHAhahahahahahaa.

 

You state that on what, your opinion? Because I have real experience on both airframes and the F-16 ain't all that. You have absolutely no idea what the F-15E is capable of. There's a reason why F-15Es were the first things into Libya.

 

You also failed to address my very real point, that every F-16 sim is 90% the same damn thing. Falcon 4 BMS gives you a clickable 3D cockpit, a dynamic campaign (something ED doesn't even offer), and a nearly fully modeled F-16. The only difference would be that ED's would look a little better. People who want F-16 simulators are killing the industry. Might as well go ask why anyone even makes FPS games besides your next Call of Duty title.

Now there's the understatement of the Century!

 

Back on topic, I'd be happy with just about anything that shoots a flame (or two) out of it's A$$ the moment I firewall the throttle :D

Im glad you have real experience on both airframes. Im sure you are a fantastic pilot n shit. :thumbup: And just because YOU dont want an F-16 sim, doesnt mean that Microprose' F-16 simulation title isnt still the standard industry after over a decade, and nobody else wants it. Personally, I think Call of Duty fits your style better. Your crybaby antics practically deserve each other. :pilotfly:

With so few flight "simulators", it would be more interesting to have something other than the F-16 as the Falcon 4 "dynasty" already does it well (any simulator can be improved obviously). My 2 cents :P

 

The F-16 doesn't fit the multi-role carrier ops I'm looking for anyway :D

[Squid]

Darn i cant vote in this. Thats not fair. 435 pages already, maybe a good idea to recreate a new poll thread ? :D

The poll keeps changing every week. The OP cant decide whether or not each aircraft is viable, even though the superbug seems to be the popular vote. Civilians cant even cross the barriers to touch it, why would anyone think it will be declassified for a flight sim?

[213]

the op needs to remove f22, f18e, f15e and f35.

 

those are basically not even possible.

Don't touch my F/A-18E Super Hornet Its POSSIBLE !!! :mad:

Super Hornet in the first version, before upgrade have the same avionic, radar and other thing that can be classified than the F/A-18C, just modernized but today full declassified i'm sure, and ED can do the last upgrade version for military and the first for us...

Its possible to see it !!!!!!

But i agree for the Raptor and the Lightning :D

thx ;) Only F-18 !:thumbup:

I'd Really like the SuperHornet,but a Legacy Hornet would be fine also:thumbup:
