Next DCS (European) Fixed Wing Aircraft Wish List

[Düsentriebdaniel]

EUROFUGHTER TYPHOON! Love it.

Should be the next one.

[whitehot]

give us an aircraft that is documented enough to build a DCS level simulation. Don't like the idea of having typhoons with all their systems guessed and abstracted because they're classified. If the word around DCS has always been "realism", then even folks should adhere to it .. I don't want to be critical to anybody, but somebody should keep in mind that, the subjects who have access to the documentation of sensible devices like the radar, flir, weapons and ecm of ac like the F-22 or the EF-2000 aren't going to give those accesses to a company whose developers are mostly russians. I mean, they won't be giving them at all to nobody. So getting a Raptor in DCS would mean getting an arcade game to me.

 

Give us a Mirage-2000 instead, or maybe a Tornado. Also Mirage-3/5 as enemies to the Mig-21. Harriers. Anything but keep it real.

SAAB J-29 "Tunnan"

 

so... with the whole Sabre and MiG thing going on... do you guys think the SAAB J-29 "Tunnan" would fit in? slower climbrate than the MiG-15 and Sabre but still the same top speed as the MiG. And all the later F versions were modified to carry AIM-9's.

 

Hello Swedish people, greetings from Norway ;)

Probably there would be a place for the Tunnan I'd think.

 

It turned very well I'm told.

Harrier

 

Only seem limited YouTube videos regarding the Razbam Harrier AV-8B and GR7/GR9 - could these not be converted to work with DCS - the cockpit images are out of this world??

I'm willing to bet that the Razbam harriers are coming to DCS.

You do know air and water are the same thing, right?;)

 

Ah you have been to Scotland too then ;)

[Nooch]

For me it's the Dassault Rafale. So many different weapons and systems!

It has both an air & ground radar just like a F-18, nose mounted IR sensor like a Su-27, a pod for infrared tv targeting (like the lantirn pod), reconnaissance pod for high res imagery, laser designator to use in conjunction with GBUs or AASM bombs, datalink system, head tracking system and helmet projected sight, radar jamming... Plus the Rafale M (navy) can operate from aircraft carriers. It can do pretty much everything including SEAD, anti bunker, anti ship and nuclear strike... Definitely a nice addition to the DCS hangar!

Well VEAO already has the Rafale on it's roadmap.I would love to see other Dassault planes like the Etendard,Ouragan,Mystere IV & Super Mystere jets.As for Multi-Crew.Dassault Atlantic Patrol plane,Mirage IV bomber & RAF Tristar tanker.

[Lumax]

I like to see the Harrier / AV8B in DCS:world.

 

Would be fun to try to do a vertical landing on a carrier :)

[21stCenturyPilot]

Would like to see some more modern aircraft to fly, with full digital fly by wire. Eurofighter Typhoon please. Enough of the crusty old Su-27 Flanker B base model from 1985! And agricultural Mig-29A, they are obsolete, old and boring.

[kemz]

Olders are better than newers. Because newers are easier to fly than olders. And olders are... uhmm?

Ok, AMX A-11 i think. : )

[21stCenturyPilot]

The 21st century battlefield and weapons systems on land, at sea and in the air are a challenge for military pilots. The modern air combat environment is much more complex than the air combat of days past.

Yes you are right about complexity. But not about challenging i think. Work principles of modern systems are more complicated but "using" these systems must be easier than the actual system working.In that way fighter pilot will have high concentration in modern battlefield and low struggling with instruments.

 

Because of that, i think old radar, navigation, targeting or what else, data streamming... This old systems are more challenging for us.

 

I just dont want touch screen in cockpit : )

[gnoemchen]

I want to see the PA-200 Tornado IDS in DCS. I know that there are mods to fly the Tornado with the A-10 Cockpit, but this is not the right feeling

VEAO has plans to develop the Tornado although not the IDS but the british Tornado GR.

Hello QuiGon,

 

thank you for your answer and your tipp. that is a real good company and i also see that they will produce the aerospatiale puma and the avro lancaster, too..

If they produce the Gr. Mk.1 or the ids is really not the problem. lt depends all on the tornado, not the version

[bleep323]

The GR1 and GR4 were the RAF's IDS version of the Tornado, the GR4 was the updated GR1.

Gr1 is the likely variant I feel.

I'll begin by apologizing for the upcoming big, nerdy and slightly patriotic post... :D

 

At the tippity top of my wish-list is any generation of Saab's primary fighters, (JA 37D mostly though). Admittedly, partly because I'm Swedish, but also because I just adore Saab's history of independent and sometimes eccentric designs to meet the requirements of our traditionally small and neutral country. I think it'd add some spiciness to the DCS universe with some more exotic aircraft and air forces aswell. (But I can see why they might not be considered since not as popular). Basically, I'd pay many monies for any of these with blue and yellow, "Three chrowns" roundels! OwO

 

Saab 21

1945 - 1951

Saabs first own fighter design! Designed during ww2 by request of the SwAF. Featuring a totally bonkers and awesome pushing propeller design, double tail booms and an early ejection seat. :D The logic being that it'd give unrivaled forward visibility and firepower being able to concentrate all the cannons in the nose. THe design was later discovered to fit well, (sort of), for the early jet era, and they were subsequentially turned into jetfighters in the late 40s, Saab 21R. R standing for "Reaktionsmotor" (Reactionary Engine). This was Saabs, and Swedens, first jet aircraft.

 

Saab 29 Tunnan

1950-1976

"The flying barrel" Despite it's looks, proved to be very fast and agile. It was certainly comparable to the contemporary Sabre and Mig-15. Setting the world speed record on a number of occasions. It's the only Saab jet fighter to have seen actual combat, fighting under UN flag in the Congo in the 60's where it was succesful.

 

Saab 35 Draken

1960-1999

Following new SwAF requirements of a fast, high-altitude interceptor that should also be able to operate from a secret network of small road-based airfields with hangars hidden deep inside the mountains. The result was this quite original double-delta, allowing both high speed and slow-speed maneuverability. This aircraft became an export success, being sold to 3 other countries aswell. (Okay, it counts as a success if you're a small company, backed by a small country!)

 

Saab 37 Viggen

1972-2007

To replace the Draken, a totally new approach to meet much of the same requirements and then some. Featuring yet another unique design with Canard wings and an engine with reverse-thrust. It was in a way an early multi-role aircraft. Attempts were made to export it to other small countries in Europe in the 70's as the "Eurofighter" ( :D ). But everybody opted for the newer and more boring looking American F-16! :P

 

Made in 4 different versions: AJ 37 (Primary attack, secondary interceptor), SH 37 (sea patrol, anti-ship attack), SF 37 (photo reconnaissance). But the best and the baddest was the JA 37, (Primary interceptor, secondary attack). Still very top of the line through upgrades when it was scrapped in 2007 because of budgets.. :(

 

My absolute favorite fighter. So big, badass and cool looking! Designed to fly radar-silent, at tree-hugging altitude at speeds well above mach 1, guided towards the enemy intruders by fighter command with sophisticated data-links. Then, when within range, pop up from no-where, climbing with lightning speed, (Viggen = Swedish for "Thunderbolt"), and fire all the Skyflash missiles and quickly RTB to rearm!

 

plis plis plis can we have in DCS?

 

What about Saab 32 Lansen, you say?

1956-1997

We don't talk about the Lansen. 1/3 were lost to accidents. o_o

Draken have interesting aero design.

[promethius7]

Please Santa.....

 

I really want an accurate (ie: A10C level sim) of a Harrier Jump Jet.

 

It is so unique that it deserves to be "simmed" just for that reason alone.

 

I know it will never win a speed battle, or a carrying capacity battle, or a shoot off, or a.........

 

But I still want it.

I second that notion. The harrier would be a very unique platform not often seen in simulation, let alone at the level DCS could do.

 

I'd also add in the Russian Yak counterpart to the harrier.

[fencible]

Mirage 3

 

+1 Mirage IIIC - a good adversary for the Mig21Bis. I'd like to see this, too.
