captflyby Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 (edited) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAB_q8U-sSc (2017) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yuFQF75Kck (1983) Recently I was criticized for suggesting that maybe the F-5E needed some more modern upgrades to make it more survivable in combat. In no way did I mean to criticize Belsimtek or its wonderful model. Everyone wants realistic. Well here it is. Modernized, updated, color screens, better weapons systems. Can we PLEASE get an autopilot mod??? And before anyone criticizes again, at least 4 country's armed forces agree with me. Time to update the F-5E capabilities - or at least make it possible for someone to do so... Thanks. Edited April 1, 2018 by captflyby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dolfo Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Is there enough documentation available to correctly model the systems you would like to see? How about performance charts? Do we realise the handling characteristics are affected in a not so good way by the new weight and CG? Any data to properly translate that to DCS flight model? If yes then I would say go for it. If what is asked for is a very generic systems and performance model, mostly based on guesswork I would not purchase the module/upgrade. I would prefer we get (at a fair price) things that have enough data made public, like the air-to-air refueling system and the INS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Svend_Dellepude Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 They should upgrade it to go into orbit and fire meteors. That would be the upgrade for me! :D [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Win10 64, Asus Maximus VIII Formula, i5 6600K, Geforce 980 GTX Ti, 32 GB Ram, Samsung EVO SSD.

Aries144 Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 I'd pay to have an updated F-5 mod. Though I have to admit the thing I really want to explore is an F-20 :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkateZilla Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 (edited) F-20 Never went into Production, There is no Documentation or Manuals for it. F-5E in DCS is an USAF F-5E-3 Domestic Airframe. Not an Export Airframe, not a Thailand F-5E, not a Swiss F-5E. Their Upgrades were done through their own programs Adding the Export / MLU Capabilities to the Current F-5E is not possible. it would have to be an entirely new Module, w/ an Entirely new Cockpit and systems modelling. It has been Discussed previously and will not happen. 1.4 Posts / threads that undermine the actions of the forum staff, such as opening threads that are redundant, disruptive or deal with. //CLOSED Edited April 2, 2018 by SkateZilla Windows 10 Pro, Ryzen 2700X @ 4.6Ghz, 32GB DDR4-3200 GSkill (F4-3200C16D-16GTZR x2), ASRock X470 Taichi Ultimate, XFX RX6800XT Merc 310 (RX-68XTALFD9) 3x ASUS VS248HP + Oculus HMD, Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS + MFDs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
