Westland Lysander - Anyone else want one?

oh oops, sorry.... caught the tail end of this, havent read anything else of the topic when i posted that.. LOL

Let's have both the Lysander and Storch and have a battle of the liaisons - imagine a slow dogfight between a Lysander and Storch... :pilotfly:

After which add the Po-2?

I have forked out tons of money for FS9 and FSX aircraft over the years. I can't see how adding unarmed planes or even civilian would hurt the DCS series from a financial standpoint. Especially if 3rd party devs steps in... Surely I'm not the only flight sim buff that enjoy the actual flying just as much, if not more, as the combat.

+1

The challenges of flying comparatively light and slow STOL capable aircraft such as these would be interesting, particularly in adverse weather or at night - thinking about the Lysander having to find a small field in France and drop off or pick up a covert operative.

Besides, the Lysander actually had forward firing guns and bomb racks on some variants.

+1 at least in dcs i definitely would fly civilian planes as well.the flight model we have here is just that good, that flying in itself, without actual combat, is fun.never had that in another flight sim yet tbh...thats why i dont fly fsx at all...

I agree, FSX is an awful simulator in terms of flight modelling, DCS is brilliant.

I dunno, flying a transport, dropping paratroopers, heavy flak going off.... sounds pretty exciting to me.

 

Anyways, it doesnt have to be RRG to do these, these could be great aircraft for 3rd Party groups to cut their teeth on.

+1 Amen amen... Try landing a Lyslander under fire from ground forces to resucre a downed pilot.... It is pure fun to me.... :pilotfly:

We just need LOTS of third party developers. Any volunteers?

I'm happy to do 3d modelling.

I wish I had the skills to help out...

This and a Storch would be awesome and needed as both were used for artillery.

The DCS environment is a bit different. There aren't so many 3D party developers and those that are out there are already having a long lists of planned projects for a few years ahead.

The development cycle of a single planes in DCS seems to require investing a lot of time and resources. Of course the more content then better, I wouldn't mind any aircraft, just wouldn't buy it if not interested. There are however probably a lot of other planes that would trigger wider interest and be more applicable in DCS environment than the Lysander.

In everyone’s interest should be that the 3'rd party dev companies are growing. Investing time in not so much popular plane with limited applicability will not yield a great revenue numbers.

At the end of a day, you can also enjoy purely the flying in any of DCS modules (apart of some of FC ones). Take a Spitfire for a sightseeing flight or fly in any of the trainers. Aside of a great flight model, those planes have however much more to offer.

Well in DCS we do have helicopters and those were not in very active service in WWII.

The artillery observation planes that were used, the Storch, Lysander and that little one the US used would be good additions.

Two of them, that I am aware of, had other roles. The Storch would be used for medivacs and the Lysander was used in covert ops.

Both the Lysander and the Storch used short runways.

We have a Storch!

A couple of versions.

Sweet

Oh yes! Would be awesome, like many others here, built a model one many years ago.
