Crowman Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Hi All. Sorry if someone's already asked for it, anyone else think a flyable version of the English Electric Lightening would be good to see in DCS. Watching vids of them taking off and then going vertical at Mach 1. Flight systems appear relatively simple compared to say an F-15. A genuine MACH 2 capable aircraft with hopefully no Security issues.

Quadg Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 i would be up for one! i live near binbrook and the air is still missing the sound of these noisy beasts. its just to damn quiet now. 20 years after they retired. and its funny.. the Eurofighters at the minute are being constantly scrambled to intercept Russian bears.. a job the lightening did better :) and probably cheaper.

Chicki Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 Yes! Appears I'm a bit late seeing this thread(story of my life) but just discovered the Lightening. VERY interesting aircraft. Would love to see it modeled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northstar98 Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 (edited) Mmmm F.6 would be fantastic, though there's something about those crazy rocket packs that I just love on older models.

Weta43 Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 & it's legs are so short it's got the perfect range for a DCS map ;-) Seriously though, it would be a great addition Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikePotten Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 I used to have a 50% share in one of the best maintained airframes in the country until I sold out my share to my best mate but still have access to it and the cockpit. She’s a lovely T5 so if anybody want access for a DCS build just drop me a line. Love the Aerosoft FSX version. Also I have a friend who performs fast taxi runs in F6 at Bruntingthorpe who I am love love to assist. Any interest let me know. They are an iconic aircraft so It would indeed be a great addition to DCS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikePotten Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 (edited) She can have over-wing tanks and inflight refuelling so legs shouldn’t be a problem Edited July 7, 2019 by MikePotten Typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikePotten Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Has a Lightening ever seen combat?More than a Christian Eagle and yes but only with the Saudis I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Random Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Absolutely would love a Lightning in DCS. And F.6 my favourite jet by far! I can't see it happening though. No RWR, very much a one trick pony (unless an export version was modelled) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
probad Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 I can't see it happening though. No RWR, very much a one trick pony (unless an export version was modelled) flight sims don't start and end with the airquake crowd point interception is an entertaining challenge in its own right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldur Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 a job the lightening did better :) and probably cheaper. And cooler Well, at least the Typhoon can supercruise as well I'd love to see that module one day, preferably made by HeatBlur since they're well known for modeling all the things around "just the plane" to make it really complete. A Lightning without proper GCI would be like a Tomcat without a carrier to land on, Phoenix missiles and a RIO... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No RWR, very much a one trick pony (unless an export version was modelled) The only combat it ever saw was as a ground attack aircraft for the Saudi's - so 2 tricks at least :) Cheers.

A Lightning without proper GCI would be like a Tomcat without a carrier to land on, Phoenix missiles and a RIO... Yeah, ED really NEEDS to get AI and human (better yet) GCI/IADS done right in game for all the devs. Its absolutely arcade mode right now. I'm kinda hopeful since they are doing something similar for the carrier, but it would need to be a free core game functionality so I'm not sure how they fund it since it won't be cheap/easy to do. Its a must for Redfor, and blue used it extensively too. New hotness: I7 9700k 4.8ghz, 32gb ddr4, 2080ti, :joystick: TM Warthog.
