QuiGon Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I agree that a french version would probably bring in additional fans. Were the french ones ever used in combat of any sort? Yes, well, sort of: In October 1974, (on Clemenceau) and June 1977 (on Foch), Crusaders from 14.F squadron participated in the Saphir missions over Djibouti. On 7 May 1977, two Crusaders went separately on patrol against supposedly French Air Force (4/11 Jura squadron) F-100 Super Sabres stationed at Djibouti. The leader intercepted two fighters and engaged a dogfight (supposed to be a training exercise) but quickly called his wingman for help as he had actually engaged two Yemeni Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-21s. The two French fighters switched their master armament to "on" but, ultimately, everyone returned to their bases. This was the only combat interception by French Crusaders. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vought_F-8_Crusader#French_Navy :D Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!

Cab Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 We can pretend the war dragged into the 70's. I.e. the US decided to re-intervene in 1975. Then we can use the F14 too :) Not sure this is commonly known, but in 1975 VF-1 and VF-2, the first two F-14 squadrons, flew CAP for Operation Frequent Wind, the evacuation of Saigon. From first flight to first CAP in four years and four months. https://www.google.com/amp/s/tacairnet.com/2015/04/15/tomcats-first-ride/amp/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harlikwin Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Even more like F-5, but with THE NAVY written all over it. True, but my point was that M3 already knows how to do the mig systems, which are similar to the F8. New hotness: I7 9700k 4.8ghz, 32gb ddr4, 2080ti, :joystick: TM Warthog.

Harlikwin Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 If I can add, the Shenyang J-6s had significant power increases over the Soviet MiG-19. So, basically, we'll only have two Vietnam era aircraft; The UH-1H and the F-8. Yeah, thats why I listed it in there as the J6. However it wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility for RZ to release that as variant, if enough is known about it. Also, the Indo-Pak theater could also use some of these planes, again though typically the wrong models. New hotness: I7 9700k 4.8ghz, 32gb ddr4, 2080ti, :joystick: TM Warthog.

Harlikwin Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Personally, a Late 70s/Early 80s European theater would be preferable. Or Iceland. Especially Iceland, since we're going to be getting the F-14A, as well. Using US Navy F-14As' BVR to break up a formation of incoming Soviet aircraft while Aeronavale Crusaders scream in to get up close and personal. YESSSS.... Someone should do the forger too. :megalol: New hotness: I7 9700k 4.8ghz, 32gb ddr4, 2080ti, :joystick: TM Warthog.

Кош Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Yes! The saddest part is that art side of your projects deserve undisputed praise. But you guys get all the stones thrown into code! Seriously, important things are misimplmented since project start, other things get broken with time and only art fixes or improvements commence. It looks like you need to hire a coder. Im sorry, my chair is burning. I love the 21, bought it on the first week of selling. Just want it to get into shape under the hood. And buy a real papers corresponding Crusader afterwards.

Great news about the F-8 finally being created.......and I hope it is the classic US F-8 model that's given the attention,an F-8E would be my preference,I'm personally not interested in later French models. Judging by the reception it's had from the newsbreaking,it looks as if it's going to be quite a popular module too.

Its gonna have some actual near-peer migs to fight so I think its gonna be popular. It should be able to fly off the Forrestal (historically). But I agree an older carrier would be cool too.

some1 Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Nothing prevents ED from adding them as AI units, if they meet the usual modelling standards. Just look at Chinese assets pack.

fl0w Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Nothing prevents ED from adding them as AI units, if they meet the usual modelling standards. Just look at Chinese assets pack. Sure there are, there are definitely things preventing this. AFAIK, this is what has to be appropriately done: Form/"declare" the official team Need a coder experienced with DCS for at least 3-5 years. So far, this requirement is a bit undetermined because their main coder(s) have left the team. Need to request a license from ED along of SDK Need to request a license from the manufacturer of the A-4 Skyhawk, Douglas. This is so far what has been done: Need a 3D artist Need proof of concept And, I do not speak for the Community A-4E developers on this, but the team I believe does not currently share any interest in becoming a 3rd party. As much as I love how good the A-4E mod is and its systems for being free itself, the dream of it becoming an unofficially supported module is far from being achieved. Deka is a majority/all Chinese team. I do not speak for the team there, but they likely created the 3D models for an AI assets pack as a way to become a 3rd party so that they would later come with the J-11A and JF-17 modules.
