Snoopy Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Thanks Paul, looks like our solution may work better then. More details to come son=on and I'll catch up with you via email regarding it. Copy v303d Fighter Group Discord | Virtual 303d Fighter Group Website
s1man Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Helios is basically unsupported now. I still use it for the A-10C but if anything in DCS world changes I don't foresee Gadroc fixing it anymore. Just an FYI there is Open source helios now so hopefully some more developers will get involved and im positive someone will be working on an interface for the Typhoon when it arrives.

Ells228 Posted February 12, 2015 Author Posted February 12, 2015 We have a couple of thing bubbling about so don't worry, I'm sure you'll be catered for :) 1
Priller Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 We have a couple of thing bubbling about so don't worry, I'm sure you'll be catered for :) Will it be a specific version of the Typhoon or will it be adaptable in the load out to mimic the different versions? The Spain and UK versions are the ones I'd like to see for Multi-role capability and nice selection of GBUs. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Ells228 Posted February 12, 2015 Author Posted February 12, 2015 UK to start with and we'll see how we get on with other countries after that :)

outlawal2 Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Dont forget about Supercruise...... :) 1.5M Clean 1.2M With typical A2A loadout Yeah I am sure that is new information for VEAO.. LOL (They DO have actual pilots as consultants..) "Pride is a poor substitute for intelligence." RAMBO
Valium Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 To be honest I've never been a fan of EF2000 but I become to be. I was a fan of F-16 ( Polish Air Force have got 48 F-16 Block 52+ and 32 MiG-29 ), F-15E, Super Hornet and Dassault Rafale. I always thought EF2000 was really expensive and weak plane comparing it to Dassault Rafale but I begin to see that upgrading of EF2000 is still and will be in progress so it seems to be really future-proof platform. Dassualt Rafale has got more options than Tranche 2 but Tranche 3 exists and it's still developing. I've always tried to find some comparison of Rafale and Eurofighter.

Nobody96 Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Get hyped ;) This pilot seems to have a very hard time keeping the plane subsonic while having the afterburners lit ;-) -Mathias My System: Intel Core i7-4770K, Asus ROG Strix RX480 O8G, 24GB Ram

shagrat Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 (edited) Does the Rafales OSF really compare to PIRATE? Can it launch IRIS-T or ASRAAM missiles? What about Brimstone? Don't get me wrong, the Rafale is a great aircraft, but the Typhoon really excels in the Multirole capacity... that's what I like about that bird. It combines power, good aerodynamics, good fighter/interceptor capabilities with ground attack and bomber traits, most of which can even be handled in the same mission. Edit: a real benefit for the Rafale is the carrier ops capability, of course!

Valium Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 (edited) Once I saw an interesting comparison of Eurofighter and Rafale. Rafale wins if we'll take A/G into account but Eurofighter wins in A/A. That's true. Eurofighter has got more possibilites to take differential weapons but here's a question. How IRIS-T or Brimstone are good? Rafale can take only French weapon. It's a good move because it's needed to buy their weapons. What's more, don't forget Rafale can take bindings with three branches which makes that 3 AASM can be taken by one binding ( I hope it's understable ). Information of day: Egypt decided to buy 24 Dassault Rafale and one frigate (Normandie type). It makes Egypt the first country which decided to buy Rafale. From the other side I begin to wonder why they chose Rafale without any tender. I'm also interested what the USA will tell about it and which steps Israel will decide to do. Egypt is an ally of Israel but also potential enemy like Saudi Arabia or UAE. Edited February 13, 2015 by Valium Click here to see more pictures of Polish Air Force! Check also my album.
Valium Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 (edited) Im more of a Jas 39 Gripen kind of guy myself ^^ I don't see any future for Gripen except 'E,F' version. Switzerland and Brasil decided to buy them but in Swiss tender they could have chosen Rafale or Gripen so they decided to buy Gripen because it was cheaper and they claimed they didn't need as advanced planes as Rafale was. In Brasil they chose Gripen but I suspect it was because of costs. Earlier goverment announced that they'd chosen Rafale but further goverment chose Gripen, because of price especially. I don't think it was a good choice in case of Brasil. It's a huge country, Gripen hasn't got long range, can't take many weapons so they have to locate them really strategically to safe their country. I don't think Swiss choice was good because these Gripens are sufficient aircrafts for this country. I would rather claim that Gripens are good planes to protect borders but other planes are better in multirole operations.

mrsteel Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 Much as i hate to sound like the most annoying broken record possible, but as of now will the Eurofighter still be released in q1 2015? If it got pushed back is there an estimate of how long?

Valium Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 I hope you mean that it won't be released in first quarter 2015 guys. I can wait for it. It seems to be a huge project. I hope it'll be released in a few months but this year. Click here to see more pictures of Polish Air Force! Check also my album.
Manuel_108 Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 I hope for a Q4 release. VEAO is a big organized team, if all goes right, this is gonna be huge.
Valium Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 What Q... means? Is it 'quarter' or what? I'd like to fly with RAF ensigns. My uncle serviced in 317 sqn. during WW II so I've got a fondness for Royal Air Force. Click here to see more pictures of Polish Air Force! Check also my album.

Valium Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 (edited) :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup: Yes, he serviced in 317 sqn since 10 III 1942 ( D-M-Y) to 1947 or even 1948. He had got girlfriend which was born in the UK but he returned to Poland in 1948 ( his mother sent a letter ). Due to the fact that Poland was under soviet sphere of influence, Polish govenment wasn't Polish (if you know what I mean). Both my uncle and his brother were arrested. His brother was murdered after 2 weeks, my uncle spent 19 months there. He died in 1984 because of the 2nd stroke. He took part in operation over Dieppe. During returning he was shot over France. He was seriously wounded in the head, arm and leg but he decided to make a landing in UK. During flight he passed out twice, he landed in the UK and he fainted third time. From documents I've found, I found out the had lost an elbow because of it. + Ok, let's back to the topic. Any new photos guys? Have you ever thought about making double seat version?
