Any chance of an MLU for the F5-E3?

I think it would be time for an MLU on the Tiger F5. I miss a few things in my Pit

Feel free to add the radio panel VHF/UHF accordingly

and while doing this, please add the INS to the right console

While the multitude of requests for an updated F-5 have been posted, the existing module has several issues that remain unfixed since release.

The second question would be if you are willing to pay for it and how much because only death comes for free :music_whistling:

I would gladly pay for a MLU add-on, AFTER they fixed the basic module and completed the systems/weapons.

The F-5 is a great aircraft and continues to be a solid asset to air forces.

Paying for MLUs is a slippery slope. Beware...

Definitely would want BST to fully complete this module and finish all remaining issues.

Nothing uncommon

VRS F/A-18 you paid 99 USD for the P3D 32-Bit release and now 70 USD for the P3D 64-Bit release.

A2A made you pay a discounted price for their P3D upgrades too. Smaller price tag.

Jardesign made you pay for the V2 to V3 upgrade adding new features too. It was no free. But instead of new 70 USD you paid 14.99.

Thats OK, for a feature update.

I think the little upgrade of features would be worth 10 to 15 bucks

A $30 add-on module to DCS: F-5E would be reasonable. If it brought following capabilities of real world F-5E modernization program.

Expanded countermeasures load at least 60 for flares and chaff bundles. Each.

Centerline ECM pod or conformal ventral blister for ECM ALQ-131 or similar.

Outer pylons plumbing for AIM-9 series missiles. Expanding total WVR IR missile capacity to 4.

Improved radar capable of steering AIM-7F or similar missile. As in RW modernization programs.

Inner wing pylon plumbed for radar guided AIM-7F or similar missile.

CCIP/CCRP unguided AG munition delivery computer.

PGU-28 series ammunition for 20mm cannon.

GPU-2/A 20mm pod with 300 rds

GPU-5/A 30mm pod with 353 rds

Rafael Python 3 & 4 IR WVR AA missile

Flight safety;

Ventral radar altimeter and GCAS

ILS

NVG basic low light intensification.

Navigation;

GPS embedded inertial navigation with some kind of LCD map display.

Engines;

Increase engine power to F-5EM variant.

Sounds good, now you have to find at least 1000 people who will pay for it and the development could start...

Seriously, there is a reason developers concentrate on new famous platforms like the F-4 and Mi-24. They are self sellers. Platform updates are very risky (from the fiscal side) especially big ones you have in mind.

That has a new module, similarly a F-14B on a F-14 series. That "updates" has reference at the F-5E Tiger III Plus, F-5S and F-5EM and require very hard changes on avionics, functionality and systems to only a "DLC".
