kingneptune117 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 http://www.gamingshogun.com/Article/8965/DCS__A-10C_Warthog_Review_-_PC.html 3) Any hints on what aircraft you guys are planning to simulate next? A) The next DCS aircraft will be a fixed wing US fighter. I'm sure we all assumed it was a fighter, but it is nice to have some confirmation. My bet is that we are getting a Viper. What do you guys think?

Stretch Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 It was confirmed that it was a fixed-wing aircraft, and now it's narrowed down to fighter.

Temphage Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 (edited) F-15E would be amazing and given the prevalence of air-to-ground warfare as well as the various nods towards the Strike Eagle in the game files (ridiculously detailed model, AGM-130 files)... it can also serve in the air-attack role and can utilize much of the assets already present in-game. F/A-18 wouldn't be bad I suppose, but I find the aircraft to be vomitous to look at, and it carries laughably light payloads. The only real reason to prefer the F/A-18 over the F-15E is carrier ops or you have a thing for the Navy. Generally speaking everything the F/A-18 can do, the F-15E can do better. What's more, the F/A-18 has been done before, far more recently (In fact it's an FS:X addon) and far higher quality than the F-15E which was last done in 1998 so the quality of that one goes without speaking. The F-15E also has better toys and would be way more fun to play with: ICMS TEWS suite, iDLPs, Sniper Pods, Nav Pods / TF radar, Recce pods, sniper pods... the most excitement you get out of the F/A-18 is the crappy old pod it has and it shares A/G radar mapping ability with the F-15E. I guess the downsides here is that much of the F-15s capability and toys are still highly classified and marked as NOFORN and would be a hell of a lot of work to implement the avionics of it. At the same time, I thought I heard that the F/A-18 has the same problem because the Navy is far more tight-lipped. F-15E would also be way more at home on the Nellis map :) Edited March 22, 2011 by Temphage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mule Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 (edited) F-14 Tomcat er er the fixed wing type that i just made up. Nah i really hope it's the Viper but won't be disappointed with anything else. Just hope they make it to the high standards of the A-10. No backward steps and the cherry on top would be some type of dynamic campaign. Edited March 22, 2011 by Mule Fighter Pilot Podcast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krippz Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 So many possible options: F/A-22 F-15 C/E F-16 C F/A-18E I could see the potential for the DOD to contract ED for a DTS for all of the above platforms. The next few months are going to be a wild ride of speculation.

Kenan Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 My favorites: 1. F-15C/E If not then 2. F-16 or 3.

Itkovian Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Since I live within constant earshot of the Green Mountain Boys here in Vermont, I'd certainly be partial to a new Viper sim. I mean, F4 AF is excellent, but shows its age. And really, it's hard to beat the F-16 for aesthetics. With the Viper and the Hog, DCS can boast about having the full range of fixed-wing attractiveness. :) Itkovian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Temphage Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 F-16s been done to death though. Given the 'quality' of the computer-based trainers I've seen for the F-15E, there should be quite a market for DoD use of one :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onehitxzibit Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 My guesses are F-16, F-15C or F/A-18E. I highly doubt it would be a two-seater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel Jaw Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 What's more, the F/A-18 has been done before, far more recently (In fact it's an FS:X addon) Any combat jet for FSX is a sad joke. You cannot deploy it in a tactical environment. And the tacpack is an even sadder JOKE. JF18 is 10 years old and the grafix are hideous, especially the unreadable HUD.

Temphage Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 When they first said it was going to be a 'fixed wing US aircraft' I actually thought it'd be funny if they came out with 'DCS: KC-135'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RightStuff Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 ... the most excitement you get out of the F/A-18 is the crappy old pod ... And not to forget the really boring carrier landings... :lol: As your're wishing the F-15E: Why not hoping for the EA-18G? Perhaps as an "addon" to the stock F/A-18. That would be cool and I'm hoping for it - at least for the F/A-18. I really would bet on that plane being the next one out of DCS' "Skunkworks". :thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
