Echo38 Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Let's see. We've got the Pony, so we'd need a Langnase Dora and a K-series Biffer for fighter opposition. Agreed about the FW-190D, but the G model 109 would be more appropriate than the K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leafer Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Well most of that is just a few models and a silly AI background to run it, but the Focke Wulf or Messerschmidt would take a lot of work. My question is, why oh why are there so many 3rd parties trying desperately to lay claim to every jet fighter that ever flew for a NATO country, but there is NOBODY touching WW2? We've got a vietnam era transport helicopter for god's sake coming, but nothing in WW2? Methinks there isn't much optimism for the market's appetite for vintage prop planes. I've seen Yo-Yo asked for some data on the FW and if I remember correctly, J. Mack posted something to the effect that they want to but it's one-step-at-a-time deal. ED have been taking my money since 1995. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick10 Posted November 12, 2012 Author Share Posted November 12, 2012 It would be nice if ED could get a Third Party to WWII content elusively (A2A maybe?). A fully study sim of 1940 conflict would be the best thing ever. Still, I think we will wait a looooong time for that to happen. What would satisfy me for now, is a combat campaign for the P-51 in Caucasus. A far fetched concept, but with the some creative writing it could be made plausible (mercenary counter insurgency recon Mustang?). This is supposed to work somehow: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embraer_EMB-314_Super_Tucano Rumors going around the cliffs of Dover project has been killed off. Wouldn't it be wonderful to get all those beautiful models in dcs? There's the h-111, ju 88 and Stuka and early spits and bf 109s. Dream result would be to get A2A involved.

porky_pig Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 The next addon after the UH1H will be the F-86 SabreJet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VH-Rock Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Gotta say, I would love to see the F-86 in DCS, but my real hope is for a Spitfire Mk V. I would really love to see a good Spitfire modelled for this sim! I do understand the need for an opponent though and I personally think that a 109G would be the best choice to do before any other WWII aircraft. Virtual Horsemen - Right Wing (P-51) - 2008...

Echo38 Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 (edited) It's pretty obvious that a Spitfire would win a standard duel against any of the Big Three, every time, if the pilots are reasonably well-matched. Which is why we don't need a Spitfire until after other, more reasonably-matched aircraft are modelled. Edited November 13, 2012 by Echo38 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leafer Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 If ED comes out with anything that doesn't have a pointy nose and breathe fire(s) out the back then they will be lynched.

Echo38 Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 TBH, I'd love to see some of the early jet fighters, although not as much as I'd like to see WWII prop fighters. But an ME 262 would be much more interesting than all the fancy modern aircraft which do half the flying for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmaruda Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Much has been said on the topic, everyone wants 190s, 109s, 262s, Zeros... bla, bla, bla. The problem is, there is no indication whatsoever, that ED, or a third party, or whoever is gonna continue the DCS Legends series. As of now, it is reasonable to assume that ED experimented on a prop plane, made a descent Mustang and decided to releases it to get some dough on the side. Fair enough. The question is, what can we as customers do, to not let the idea die at this? We can have polls and discussions where everyone suggests their favourite plane, but I don't think this will lead us anywhere, since everyone has a different favourite. I guess the only thing to do, I to show ED that there are people here willing to spend money on furtherer classic planes. Once that gets going we can discuss what planes will that be.

VIMANAMAN Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 (edited) I'd be happy with any adversary right now - please give us a believable unflyable opponent - it would be great to work against a foe with different strengths and weakness's! An unflyable axis opponent would make ALL the difference right now - even if it wasn't exactly perfect on first release - Like everything else, we'd all help move it in the right direction - yeah there'd be some detractors but I for one could live with a development stage with this quite happily. And am sure you'd (edit: immediately) win customers with such a move! Edited November 14, 2012 by VIMANAMAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
104th_Crunch Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 (edited) Good point about none of the 3rd parties taking up something from WWII. Don't get me wrong I really love the DCS P-51D. I am sure eventually someone as talented as ED, or ED themselves will make something else. Crazy not to. There is obviously a good audience for it. I am just of the preference that ED should make a modern fighter a priority, because they do such great work, and I am not sure if others can match them. It's a shame with all announced projects that there isn't someone else working on something from the 40's era.

PFunk1606688187 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 I would think that in particular since Cliffs of Dover has been such a let down that there's an appetite. Jet market is about to blow up, but the prop plane market is sadly under realized. Warning: Nothing I say is automatically correct, even if I think it is.

Wolf Rider Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Personally, I think DCS should model every flying legend which is stabled in the TFC (Duxford) Museum... and in no particular order of release :) City Hall is easier to fight, than a boys' club - an observation :P "Resort is had to ridicule only when reason is against us." - Jefferson "Give a group of potheads a bunch of weed and nothing to smoke out of, and they'll quickly turn into engineers... its simply amazing."
