JG-1_Vogel Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 Will we ever see some British aircraft modeled in DCS? I'm itching to try a proper Harrier sim on the level of detail we've come to expect from the DCS series. I love flying the US and Russian designs, but us Brits are starting to feel a little left out :cry:. Since the Harrier's been around a long time must be tons of information around? FA2 version pretty please for carrier ops! :joystick:

JG-1_Vogel Posted May 9, 2012 Author Posted May 9, 2012 I actually preferred Sharky Wards book Sea Harriers over the Falklands :) but that's just personal taste.

Ells228 Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 We (VEAO) have looked at the Harrier in DCS an actually started an early build but it would take a lot (at the moment) to get VTOL working properly. At the moment we are developing another project that you should like that is tailored to us Brits and Europeans ;)
JG-1_Vogel Posted May 9, 2012 Author Posted May 9, 2012 I'm going to have to bite... Tornado? Jaguar? Buc? Christ an Avro Vulcan??? :P Do tell teasing won't do!:pilotfly:
Ells228 Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 http://www.veao.eu will give you a good idea ;) Early days still but we hope to have something to alpha test soon. And i thought the "European" bit may give it away a tad lol

Ells228 Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 Also we had a Vulcan in the Virtual Red Arrows display in FC2 last December. I'll ask the developer if he plans on releasing it to port to DCS.

Ells228 Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 Blimey Paul, you slave driver!!! Lol We are actually working on some terrain, but it's more Cyprus for The Virtual Red Arrows. Im wondering if Batou is looking to get his Afghan terrain into DCS. I have an early build for FC2 and it's great.
JG-1_Vogel Posted May 9, 2012 Author Posted May 9, 2012 The GR3 would be a pretty sweet Harrier varient to fly *hint hint* :D
Jona33 Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 The GR3 would be a pretty sweet Harrier varient to fly *hint hint* :D Gr7's probably my favorite. Or the FA2. Always remember. I don't have a clue what I'm doing
Daze Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 Gr7's probably my favorite. Or the FA2. FA2 is my favourite without doubt. For a well modelled Harrier, I'd happily pay a 3rd party developer twice as much as a normal DCS module. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] First to Fight, First to Strike.
sobek Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 Im wondering if Batou is looking to get his Afghan terrain into DCS. I have an early build for FC2 and it's great. I think he is still waiting for newer tools. Maybe he even wants to wait for EDGE, who knows. Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two. Come let's eat grandpa! Use punctuation, save lives!
Ells228 Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 Yeah good point Sobek. I haven't heard from him in a while, I'll make contact. I would love to have a flyable Harrier in DCS and who knows we may be able to do it with a little help from our friends but I think it's a long way off to get the flight model right. But I would want VTOL and would't be happy putting out a product that didn't have it. Our plans have always been the Typhoon and Hawk but that was due to things I can't talk about on here.
sobek Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 What about a tornado? :) Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two. Come let's eat grandpa! Use punctuation, save lives!

DCS Hawk would be awesome. It would probably be a lot easier to make and get information about compared to other jets (tornado etc) ? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] First to Fight, First to Strike.
MemphisBelle Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 What about a tornado? :) that would be my (second) choice as well...I have been looking for a good Tornado Simulator since such a long time already. But honestly, I nontheless do prefer a F-4 Phantom modul a little bit more..:joystick: BlackSharkDen | BSD Discord | DCS Tutorial Collection
sorcer3r Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 At the moment we are developing another project that you should like that is tailored to us Brits and Europeans ;) :D Avionics on DCS level or rather on FC2/3 level? What about a tornado? :thumbup: But is a two seater already possible for 3rd party devs? [sIGPIC]http://i1293.photobucket.com/albums/b582/sorcerer17/sorcf16-b_zpsycmnwuay.gif[/sIGPIC]
Ells228 Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 (edited) At the moment trials are ongoing for an FM in FC2 on the Hawk and we have an excellent 3d cockpit model that the VRA are using so a DCS port should be relatively easy. Tiffy as you can imagine will take longer as no dials, it's all on the MFCD's so a lot of work to do there. I have a GR4 model and cockpit but it needs a lot of tweaking to get to DCS standard so may be a while off yet. My plan is to release the external models for free so non-purchased pilots will see the model even if they haven't bought the mod. Anywho we're a way off yet but development is going well. Everything DCS level. As mentioned in another thread 2 seater may be possible but as DCS is single seat some changes may have to be made to "World" for this to happen but I'm speculating here.

I used to live on RAF Akrotiri when I was younger, watched the Red's every year when they came to practice before the UK airshow season. I will want to be able to see my old house on the ground textures :P. You using sat imagery or just a plain texture with more detailed buildings?
sorcer3r Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 great news! :) [sIGPIC]http://i1293.photobucket.com/albums/b582/sorcerer17/sorcf16-b_zpsycmnwuay.gif[/sIGPIC]
Ells228 Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 Haha well no pictures of you bathing in the back garden lol Still too early to know to be honest. I'm focusing more on aircraft than terrain at the moment. Gotta have something fun to take that MiG out ;)
