Another ED modules is...F-15C?

[Suchacz]

For example...

at 3:30 - this hornet is not driven by AI. Gues why I think so? :smilewink:

[Pilotasso]

The F-5?

 

Nate

 

I said "modern" and the F-5 barely made it to the US inventory at all. :)

Because you flew it? Speculation is just that, speculation. Until I see with my own eyes the announcement of the next ed dcs module I will keep an open mind.

I see no cockpit. Also, you can fly it in DCS now if you like.

Its not exactly difficult to mod the F-18 to be flyable with the Su-33 cockpit...

[Steel Jaw]

Its easy to speculate what the next module from ED is. In the list of all planes to be released by 3rd parties there is only one modern american jet missing. :)

 

2 are missing IIRC:

 

The F/A 18C and F16C.

[Nate--IRL--]

IIRC the F-16 is being worked on, not sure if it is a Professional module or an amateur mod though.

F-15 A/B/C/D

F-14 B/D

F-16 A/B/C/D/E

F/A-18 A/B/C/D/G

 

OK, the A's and B's might not be considered modern, and the F-14 is gone, but you get more than 1 possible aircraft that isn't covered. I'm hoping it's the F-15C, but there's no indication at all at what it could be.

The Hornet is kinda overshadowed by the superhornet to be released, so IMHO that leaves only 1. :)

 

Same for F15E VS F-15C (you can just dump the FAST packs to load AMRAAms and then your left with a much cooler cockpit and whole lot of other capabilities).

I don't like the free-loader in the back though. I'll give up the fancy cockpit for that lol.

[SkateZilla]

If you want to make it clickable, make the LUA with data and systems, the Animations for switches are all there.

[Frostie]

ED's always had a hard on for F/A-18, it's inevitabbbble.

F-16 :pilotfly:

 

Model variants don't count and in my personal opinion it would not produce the optimum income for ED. That's how you make money in the flight sim business. You differentiate by producing a completely new airframe that nobody did before. (except from the over 10 years old Falcon4 :P)

There are some people working on F-16s, but if my memory serves me right, non of them are licensed third party developers. I think it's either a Viper or a Bug, and I'll be happy either way, although I would prefer a Viper. Let's hope it's announced soon, whatever it is.

[Neor]

"Let's hope it's announced soon, whatever it is."

That's it :thumbup:

[Azazel]

I love the F-15C and if ED makes a DCS version of it I'll buy it, but what this sim is really lacking right now is an aircraft that can handle both AG and AA. I'm really hoping for an F-16 or F-18. That way we can make missions with lots of SAM threats and not depend on AI to protect the strike package.

[Neor]

ED, can you give us a date when you let us know what the next DCS airplane is? That would be helpful.

ED doesn't do that. Apparently, the like to keep us in the dark in the event they change directions that way they don't let anyone down. It sucks for us (the consumers) but it makes sense for them because no one can come back and complain that they didn't follow through with a previous statement.

Perhaps. Although, from the moment humanity traded with stones the business concept 'customer retention' became important.

Keeping a customer in the dark or not can play an important role in success of the relationship. The reason may vary and you might never know.

There is no realistic jet combat alternative to DCS. 'Customer retention' is pretty much a non-issue in the current captive market.

 

So let us all get real. We're just gonna have to wait until ED are good and ready. No point in getting into a lather.

This thread is starting to look just like every other "The next DCS module" thread. For anyone that thinks The new F-15C cockpit is evidence of what the next module is, I direct towards this post.

 

Specifically this part:

As for the new and improved F-15C cockpit, work on this started about a year ago because we felt of all the FC aircraft, it is the most popular. That is not a slight to the eastern aircraft, nor any indication of some sort of western bias. While we would also have LOVED to include a new and improved MiG-29 or Su-27 cockpit, the time needed would fall well outside the product window. As someone that has been flying Eagle products since the original Flanker, I too look forward to a new Crane cockpit!

In other words, The F-15C cockpit was not inserted into FC3 because it was supposedly already being developed for DCS:Next. It was developed specifically for FC3. From this we can conclude that if the Su-27 was more popular, it would have been given the special treatment instead, regardless of what aircraft DCS:Next is.

[jctrnacty]

I didn't read the whole thread, maybe someone has the same opinion as me. But I say, that the DCS: NEXT will be Hornet, dunno what version. But Hornet! I bet my left ball! :

 

In this case i would be very very carefull if you want to have a children in near future :-)

Of cource, now you can. But that video is from year 2006! From profesional army project caaled The Battle Simulator, made by The Fighter Collection.

Currently nine flyable aircraft (A-10A, F-15C, Su-27, MiG-29, MiG-29, Su-25, Su-25T, Su-33, Ka-50) with more under development (F-16, F/A-18 ).

Youre right, its pointless anyway perhaps.

 

Have you ever been in the situation with your girlfriend or wife where she tells you that she loves you and somehow demands an 'i love you too' back? I guess its something similar for some.

 

"I love you, i love you, i love you, i love you, i love you, i love you, i love you, i love you............HEY!!...now you need to say that you love me too!!"
