Unofficial List of Upcoming DCS Aircraft

[71st_Mastiff]

So that means these aircraft are 100% confirmed? :D

 

90% all-ways subject to economics..:thumbup:

Works for me! x)

Non-DCS forum listed developments.

 

It seems there is no forum for the F-35, L-39, DCS F-18C or AFM/ACP DCS F-15C. Is there any plans to open up this forum more? Add some more developers on the form.

It's maybe a little off topic, but is there a list of all addons being developed for DCS? With release estimates and so on?

[SkateZilla]

3rd Party Modules (F-35, L-39, Etc) usually get their own Section when they submit proof of concept to ED (which basically consists of, but is not limited to, external 3d model in game, 3d cockpit model in game, team resumes, etc).

 

DCS: F-18C will most likely get it's own SubForum under DCS Section when it reaches Pre-Purchase/Beta.

 

DCS Flaming Cliffs: F-15C is identical to Flaming Cliffs 3 F-15, only difference being it's been separated from the FC3 package and made availible individually.

(Same for the A-10A/Su-25, and Su-27 DCS Flaming Cliffs Modules)

All in good time.

So there won't be a high fidelity F-15C from DCS? I guess I understand that.

[joey45]

Not yet anyway..

No thats not good info just wishful thinking.

Where is the FC3 section? SkateZilla that is one hell of a system you have there.

I believe FC3's General Section is under LockOn

If/When a DCS: F-15 is announced, it will be the same scenerio as the DCS:F-18C I imagine.

 

As I Assume the General Development path is DCS Flaming Cliffs: F-15C, and eventually down the road DCS: F-15C.

The Next DCS Fighter is the F-18C.

K thanks for that and the F-18C will be full fidelity correct?

[NineLine]

Thats how I understand it, that it will be similar to the A-10C level.

[Grim_Smiles]

I certainly hope so and I expect that it will be. But I know a lot of us thought that when they announced F-15 with F-18 as upcoming modules, that the F-15 was going to be A-10C level - only to find out it was an FC3 F-15 with AFM for the time being. I'm pretty sure though that it was mentioned by ED that F-18 would be A-10C level, though now I want to dig around and see whether I'm correct or not.

Pretty sure if you go through Wags' updates, one of them states that it (DCS:F-18C) would be DCS A-10C Level of Fidelity,

 

As for the F-15C,

There was a bunch of long threads regarding that mis-communication as it originally said DCS: F-15,

Then it was announced the plans were to Separate the F-15,A-10,Su-27, SU-25 from FC3 to Sell individually.

 

im not 100% Sure if DCS:F-15C was ever 100% Confirmed, it was merely stated that these modules may lead to DCS Level Modules in the future.

 

in My Personal Opinion, F-15C will eventually be a Full Study Sim Level Module, as all the 3d Assets and stuff that I've seen in regards to switches and animations point to that.

(All switches have connectors, all switches, buttons, and knobs have animations, etc etc)

 

*But that's just my opinion, and if it hasnt been confirmed by someone from ED, then it's not something to live by.

I do remember you mentioning before about the cockpit having the necessary things to make it click-able. I don't think any official confirmation has come down but I'm sure A-10C level sim for the F-15 is a guarantee, it is just a question of how much time before ED is able to do it.

The F-14 link (first page of this thread) doesn't work anymore, is the thread in this eagle.forum.ru moved or so? And is F-14 Tomcat ( '86-Movie "TOPGUN" - Tom Cruise :D ) still in development by IRIS or anybody else? ;)

 

 

And can I get any F-14 model into DCS FC3 ? ;)

IRIS decided to prioritize their FSX/prepar3d work and to put their DCS projects on the low burner for a while. The F-14 is supposedly still in development, but I don't think you'll be seeing it for a couple of years, at the very least.

 

See: http://www.irissimulations.com.au/forum/announcements-1/dcs-world-and-iris

 

EDIT: and yeah, I think it's safe to say that everyone here knows the movie Top Gun, so no need to expound on that... :smartass:

I'am new in DCS but when I see the amount of actual forum users, there must be a pretty large total amount of DCS users.

When you realize how many aircraft there are allready developed for FSX and how few for DCS: you should say, that the "selling potention" of a new DCS aircraft is possible higher then of a new FSX aircraft.

 

Why, also, the developers still stay (pretty much) at FSX?

Probably because FSX is a MUCH larger market with far more customers. It's been around a long time.

But should that also be a fact for the "fighter / militairy" submarket?

What I said: when I see the total amount of actual DCS forum users .......

 

And I wonder what the sense is of developing a improved / advanced fighter with all the "features" for FSX.

 

I.m.o. developers of hardcore fighters (VRS, Iris and others) might better set the target to DCS ............. ? (but probably, I am wrong: they must know better then I do).

When your entire product catalog and Development assets are designed, scripted, coded, and built for MS ESP, (FSX P3D)

 

Saying they are better off in DCS is easier said than done.

Not only is FSX is a much larger market, but IRIS straight up admitted in that post I linked to that they found it difficult to develop for DCS, which is not surprising considering it's a whole other sim. Obviously, small outfits like IRIS do not want to invest a whole lot of time (and money) in a product that may very well end up a disappointment compared to ED and Belsimtek's offerings.

I dont think most of these are ever going to happen :/
