Adder1606688006 Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 Looking past the F-18C (cheeky I know), it would be great to have a modern Russian fighter to go head to head with the Hornet. Now there are people asking for PAK-FA etc which of course won't happen, but are there any that ED could feasibly produce? I'm thinking in terms of having access to enough information, the chances of a military contract coming up, and it being modern enough to give a decent fight against a modern DCS US fighter. The first thing that comes to mind for me is the Mig-29K/SMT which I believe India is in the process of acquiring, hence a possible contract?
GGTharos Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 That isn't information that you'll ever get your hands on probably ... [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda
mig29 Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 After A-10C, SU-27 was supposed to be the next. But a "fixed wing US aircraft" came before the flanker. Now I have no hopes for the next 3 years or so. :(
GGTharos Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 No, it was not. After A-10C, SU-27 was supposed to be the next. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda
RogueRunner Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 Flanker would be really really cool!!! I said it before and I'll say it again. It was the Flanker who started this whole franchise and it should get it's place in it as a study version. With the price of ammunition these days do not expect a warning shot.
GGTharos Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 No, it was the A-10 that started the DCS franchise ... despite the Ka-50 being first ;) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda
RogueRunner Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 I'm talking way way back. Not the DCS franchise per se but ED's very first flight sim. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Su-27_Flanker_%28video_game%29 With the price of ammunition these days do not expect a warning shot.
GGTharos Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 This is the DCS franchise. Not Flanker. Not even LOMAC, where the Flanker franchise was effectively parted with. It's like Kirk vs. Picard. ;) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda
RogueRunner Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 Ok, forget the word franchise then. ED's first dab at flightsims then, the plane that started them on this road. :D I still have fond memories of the Flanker Ladder! Those were the days! With the price of ammunition these days do not expect a warning shot.
GGTharos Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 My answer remains the same! ;) PS: Regardless, I'm pretty certain that the devs would like to develop a flanker module at some point. But that isn't exactly up to them. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda
S77th-konkussion Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 The next fighter is likely predicated on what Eagle gets work for- regardless of what's "fair" and regardless of where it hails from. You might see 3 more US fighters in a row. You might see 4 Russian- made fighters in a row.. You might not see a damn thing for a while because they are getting work for things they do not believe will sell in the civilian market.. Personally I'm fine with just about anything after this one- because chances are decent it will be a relatively modern- or recently modernized- platform we are familiar with.. but--- let it come to pass that we get... well... actually the number doesn't even matter. EACH module will have a faction of whiny children bitching about it in tow.. It's happening now and all we have is an extremely interesting bit of evidence supporting it's potential ID..

Adder1606688006 Posted April 5, 2011 Author Posted April 5, 2011 Perhaps military customers for western aircraft DTS will benefit from having a Russian aircraft modeled in high fidelity for DACT :thumbup: I worry that whatever Eastern fighter/multi-role is eventually modelled will be too old for it to be fun playing online. The current F-15C / Su-27 disparity is bad enough in FC2 :cry:
AlanHR Posted April 5, 2011 Posted April 5, 2011 If you are refering that Eastern planes are old its a fact that F-15 is older aircraft than SU-27. F-15C is newer version but SU also have new versions.

F-15C is newer version but SU also have new versions. It doesn't really matter what newer versions there are if none of them are plausible candidates for a DCS module, which is what I was hoping to discuss in this thread.
Boberro Posted April 5, 2011 Posted April 5, 2011 Whatever it will be, it is good choice. DCS evolves that is most important.

mikoyan Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 what about an su-30mk2? it can drop lots of cool stuff.

krafen73 Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 (edited) I got the A-10 (pre-bought).... I returned to the Black Shark :) I hope for the BS patch that fits it to the A10 module standards and for some minor fixies, like a operative INU with alignment and errors. Simply I love russian aircrafts (and I'm italian...), I love the simplicity and effectiveness of russian stuff, I love to move mud, Su-22 or 25 would be the best option for me... or a Mig-21 for A2A. But I know, them are totally out of market, just few like me would love to fly them.... After the 25 of LOMAC, I will never return to flight with imperial measure units. I will play BS for a decade i guess :) Anyway, very good job, ED, thank you. Edited April 12, 2011 by krafen73

But that isn't exactly up to them. so what you saying is that americans or english or who ever gets what they wanted but not Russians get what they want.. i heared this a long while ago when was talking to Alexander san who works at ED in Russia has became a great great friend to me also very supportive and kind man an feel honored to have him as my friend.. he did say that afther KA-50 was made that were about devople the Cy-25 but CEO of ED termnated it becuase the Cy-25 was Classified so presume that about make Cy-25SM model to DCS.. well in my mind would more love see Cy-25 or Cy-39-34-24 or possible the Mi-24V.. dont know why but find Ground Attack planes more fun where get down an dirty face to face with them..
