Next DCS (European) Fixed Wing Aircraft Wish List

[sedenion]

The Rafale or Mirage 2000-5 will never modeled (too moderns, classified informations, etc... ), the Mirage 2000C is being modeled by a third party team (so i think E.D don't want to compete with them), i suggest two "old school" French planes.

 

Mirage F1:

+ pretty cool

+ A2A and A2G capabilities

+ Recently used by: France, Spain, Greece, and other north african countries

* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dassault_Mirage_F1

 

Mirage III:

+ Delta wing (a new aerodynamic challenge)

+ Was used by many countries: France, Spain, Belgium, Swiss AND Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Egypt, Israel, South africa, and north african countries and arabia.

I would love to see a Harrier in DCS. I have no preference as to which variant / model.

[Kozedub]

For me Mi-8 T,P,S and PP :) best helicopter in the world

[mondo]

Tornado IDS/GR1/GR4, ECR and ADV would be fantastic. So much variation available on a single aircraft. Granted the ADV would be a slightly different model.

 

Blackburn Buccaneer. To fight Mig21s and partner up with the VEAO Lightning when it comes out.

 

Harrier FA2 or GR9

[Gavski1]

Harrier GR7/9

 

Anything with good, up to date A/G weapon systems - something that is lacking in all DCS aircraft and needs to be further developed (with the exception of A10-c)

[heinzknocke]

Harrier any type Vulcan bomber, buccaneer, English Electric lightning,Phantom and a Me 262 :)

[Stevo]

yes the Harrier would be a good choice,as is the Tornado..

Tornado

 

If FreeFalcon Modders can do it, so can DCS.

 

Tornado - think of single-player as per Digital Integration's Tornado game or multi-player Co-op (Pilot/Nav) missions as per FSX TacPack - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHvKR4WqD6w.

 

DCS - is there a date by which you will be making your decision on which aircraft you will be creating??

 

If you go for the Tornado, you could (future) go for (worldwide aircraft) other 2-seaters - F-15E, F-14, etc.

I'am not sure i'm not saying a stupidity, but, many mentioned the Tornado while the title says "fixed-wing". The Tornado isn't a variable-sweep wing ? Is it considered as a "fixed wing" ?

Yes, the term fixed wing aircraft refers to non-helicopter aircraft because helicopters are rotary wing aircrafts.

 

Fixed Wing: "normal" planes

Rotary Wing: helicopters

 

 

But yeah, strictly speaking sweep wing aircraft aren't really >fixed< wing aircraft :D

[dartuil]

Better is too ask for fighterq that are old like mirage F1 or mirage III.

Or the Sepecat jaguar.

[Chappie]

A Harrier; Old but many conflicts and DCS doesn't have a VTOL fixed-wing aircraft yet.

[Grundar]

Even better it's much easier to model than any other craft listed here!

 

Radar doesn't work.

Sidewinders, if you are lucky, even luckier if they work

Radio doesn't work.

HUD unreliable, aka doesn't really work.

 

;)

 

At least it seems to plague the Gr3, Sea Harriers seemed to fair better in the Falklands.

 

Had a read of an interesting book called: RAF Harrier Ground Attack Falklands by a quite unhappy RAF pilot by the name of Jerry Pook.

 

 

Personally I would like to see a Harrier. Would love to see an F14 though, yeah the US is in Europe right >_> same hemisphere......

 

:P

They must be fixed to something or there could be lift issues...:D

Eurofighter.

 

My second favorite "western" jet after the F-16.

I guess, you are one of the few lucky guys here then: http://forums.eagle.ru/forumdisplay.php?f=209 :o)

Eurofighter EF-2000 Typhoon :thumbup:

[SilentGun]

ooo what about a jaguar! is that even a European plane?

[chaos]

Joint project from France and Britain.

[Joao611]

Whatever this german-boat-plane-prop-jet?-thing is, I want it in a module.

I don't even know. Just. Please.

[cichlidfan]

I think proper water physics would have to come first.

[JayPee]

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

[cichlidfan]

Yes, but I don't think that means they can just cut and paste code to make it work.

[JayPee]

Depends on how sophisticated the modeling of air is in DCS. ;)

 

In all seriousness, you're probably right. Now that I'm thinking of it, I wonder if actual air/sea simulations exist of which you only have to change the density to switch from water to air with all aerodynamics still in effect. Maybe only some military grade project but then you wouldn't really need that as it's unlikely the same simulator is used for watercraft and aircraft.
