What? No plans for the Me109-G10? Well, how about the Fw 190-D?

The U.S. Congress is the best governing body that BIG money can buy. :cry:

To model a human-pilotable Biffer or Focke to DCS standards would be impossible at this short a notice I think - or maybe they've a surprise or 2 up their sleeve, I don't know? - but some AI adversaries would still be nice IMO too ;)

I was only asking. it's not all that.

 

Yeah how about that? Those evil son of a guns! They forgot to ask you about their plans first!
:chair:

No soup for you!

 

I think such planes would be very complimentary in the same air space as the 'Stang. Seems that Duxford does this all the time with it's flying legends. Given their popularity, it seemed only natural to ask after them. But it's not like I expected DCS to respond. Just expressing a desire as a question.

If you mean as a full product in the Flying Legends series, I wouldn't rate it as impossible. As always, it depends a lot on on having real pilots, and (preferably) real airworthy aircraft and their maintainers available. Unfortunately, there's no in-house Me-109 or Fw-190 (like there is for the P-51), but that doesn't make it impossible - just less likely.

 

As AI opponents, everything is possible. From the FAQ (see signature):

 

Q: Will units from the world war 2 era exist, like ME-109's and Ju-87's?

A: That has yet to be determined. While we understand the desire for WW2 counterpart aircraft, DCS is not intended to be a full WW2 era simulation.

 

And of course:

 

Q: How is the P-51 supposed to fit into DCS? This makes no sense to me.

A: DCS is an open simulation environment, not confined to any one era, level of fidelity, or 1st party development. In the future ED and 3rd parties may add all sorts of different units ranging from gliders to X-51s.

That's what the FC3 Frogfoot is for!;)

I'm not really looking for DCS to produce a WW2 combat flight sim here. I hope I didn't confuse anyone on that point. I think it's effort is more along the lines of FSX in this regard, tbh. I only mention those planes because I know there are restored flying versions out there right now (well, maybe not the G10; but versions like the Emil and later ones). So data is not hard to find, I wouldn't think. Not only that, but now there are pilots with actual flying experience who are not in their late 80s who could critique computer flight models.

Again, I'm not suggesting what DCS should do. I'm only pointing out that from where I sit (far, far away), it seems that making these planes could be done if DCS wanted to consider

it.

 

I was just thinking out loud. It would be nice. Maybe offer two for the price of one? :D

You work for free? :P

 

Oh, and I also contract you (for free) to handle the people that are upset about the delay on DCS:Next... :P

maybe not the G10

 

As an aside, I'm pretty sure I saw an airworthy G-10 at ILA 2009. Could've been a G-12 as well though, I'm not sure...
