Damn get it news DCS is going on full power thanks!

[rextar]

Oh god imagine the airshow manovers we can do in the su27!!!

[Esac_mirmidon]

I think the new Friday news and announcements would blow every one mind in this Forum.

 

Nobody is well prepared to tolerate so huge amount of amazing news every week.

Remember people, we only know that it will happen, not when. It could still be a long wait.

Like a fine wine...........im sure we are all willing to wait.

I would say no, as what you see in that video is actually a mod and that cockpit has not been developed by ED.

 

 

Since ED gave us a 6DOF cockpit for Su27, I'd put my bets that that's the one they will simulate.

 

Not least because (as was said several times) it's very difficult to obtain info on active airplanes from the Russian military, and since ED doesn't cut corners by giving us anything less than 100% accurate sims with the DCS mark, my guess is that ED can't get accurate info on the modernized variants (such as the SM versions), but the old SU-27 documentation might not be impossible to get, as the plane is basically obsolete and doesn't need the 'top secret' label any more.

 

Unfortunately true.

the 6 DoF Pits have nothing to do with Future modules, they were requested by the community.

Along with the updated SU-27 External Model. and ED Happily did them.

[Pyroflash]

In earlier vids and interviews, Wags also confirmed the production of an Su-27SM, not S, for a future DCS module.

 

That being said. Bring on the Eagle, I could care less about those terrible flankers :P

[Esac_mirmidon]

Maybe with tons of luck we get both XDDD¡¡

BURN THE HERETIC!!!

BURN THE HERETIC!!!

 

What he said! Pour him one!

[Risk]

This is very disappointing.

After almost 10 years of this sim you would expect a new plane but it's just Su-27 and F-15. Again.

 

I hope I'm wrong and maybe F-18C comes first...

 

+1

[*Rage*]

Extremely exciting news if ED are developing the Flanker.

 

Bring on the Flanker vs Eagle wars!

[schkorpio]

This is exciting! So much cool stuff on the horizon!

 

Question: I know that su-27 and F-15 are mortal enemies, but would it ever be possible in game to fly both as part of the same team? The reason I ask is because my friend likes Russian planes, and I like US planes, but we'd love to fly the same coop mission and not versus - without getting all of the fracticides etc.

 

Also if there is one fix i'd like to see its having the ability in the mission editor to make your wingmen as players/clients so that you don't have to draw a waypoint for every single player/client plane you add.

 

/excited rant :)

[Weta43]

Even if E.D. didn't follow their past practice of making the DCS modules (as opposed to FC3 planes) available across red and blue, as long as an aircraft is available to 2 or more countries, you can tailor the coalitions to make sure it's available to both...

[schkorpio]

Thank you gents :)

ps sorry for asking in the wrong forum...

 

 

the whole Ctrl + C is way too obvious for me to even think of!

 

edit: fingers crossed for the SU-27SM - I love all of the gadgets in modern planes :)

yeah they may want to rename it "The weekly Tease" :D

Yeah, I bet they're planning and laughing right now about what to have in the next update that will get our little minds spinning :D

[Mentor_Alex]

Information from developers (see russian forum): both modules (F-15 and Su-27) not planned to be complex DCS models. They will be simplified FC3 models with AFM.

[SkateZilla]

you cant get any more Simplified than FC3.

 

unless you meant "they will simply be FC3 Models with AFM"

 

In which I seriously doubt.

How about fixing SEAD missiles? This week would be fair. I mean...people cry their guts out in forums, and not a word in response?

Give us a link to that post?!

"they will simply be FC3 Models with AFM"

Exactly.

I can prove it but I doubt you understand Russian. See this thread if you want http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=97313&page=48.

Read posts 390 and 471.

I would have liked to seen the DCS F18 before the DCS F15, too much of the same thing all at once with F15 and SU27.

 

Personally F15 and SU33 would have been great or SU27 and F18.

[Snoopy]

Maybe by "FC3 models" they simply mean the actual cockit and aircraft models and not the systems. Just have to wait for Friday and hope that's what Wags posts his weekly update about.
