[REQUESTED]Su27 datalink not working with clients

But I've never seen an official statement where Wags or Chizh said they can't make a DCS standard Russian aircraft because of military secrecy. I thought they decided to go for the Hornet first because it's a Western aircraft and would presumably sell a lot more than an Su-27SM?

I did see a post where Wags said it was decided to not develop the Su-27SM in favor of the current Su-27S but he did not say why. My guess on that topic was because they already made the Su-27S and it's cockpit, thus developing the SM variant would make the already existing S variant obsolete. Who would fly a non ASM aircraft over an ASM, R-77 capable one? Just like picking MiG-29S over MiG-29A/G, but in this case with ASM as well.

I don't think there has ever been an official post or announcement on the subject, but legality is the most logical explanation. I agree that if we had an Su-27SM then the Su-27S would be entirely redundant, but I think it would be worth keeping the baseline Su-27S as an FC3-level aircraft with the more capable Su-27SM as a DCS level module.

Another potential part of the problem is that if ED created a DCS-level Su-27SM then they would pretty much be forced to also make a DCS level F-15C, otherwise there would be a huge forum riot.

Why??? They are already getting the F-14A&B, F-18C, and Typhoon. Not enough for them??? :megalol:

What do you mean them? Don't you mean us? :)

Seriously, when looking at most of the forum posts on these forums it's like everyone is split into two camps. I guess those of us who like our cake and want to eat it too are in the minority here. Is it really such a crime to enjoy both NATO and Soviet fighter jets?

I do agree that once the Tomcat and Hornet are released there will be a problem with parity on the multiplayer side of things, with no real Soviet/Russian Gen4+ plane in the pipeline.

Comrade, in Mother Russia, we fight and fly for the Motherland and the motherland alone. We no fly NATO aircraft. Such traitors will be either shot or sent to Gulag ;) :lol:

Alot of the fun, excitement, and rivalry derives from the East vs West scenario. F14 vs F18 is a bit like a friendly between the U21 and the U18 squads of the same team.

Su27SM vs F15C is much more like El Clasico.

With Hornet, Tomcat, Harrier and Typhoon coming up, it is only fair that we get a 4th gen Russian fighter made after them.

If we ever get a full-fidelity Su-27SM, I doubt I will ever want to fly anything else ;-)

I suppose we've drifted a bit off topic, but in the interests of parity (not balance) these are what I'd love to have in DCS:

1) DCS: Su-27SM.

2) DCS: F-15C.

3) DCS: Su-24M2.

4) DCS: F-15E.

5) DCS: Tornado GR4.

6) DCS: EF Typhoon.

Would give both US, EU & Russian aficionados good choices in terms of fighters, multi-role aircraft and tactical bombers.

And the Mig-29SMT

We all thought that Data-link for Su-27 would be developed for SP and Client to client when Chiz announced it in a interview. I wish ED best luck in all projects so we can get to Su-27S/SM development as fast as possible.

So far Im finding Su-27s air-dynamic in DCS by far the most enjoyable, would be a shame if we did not get Su-27 in full fidelity:(

Hear, hear, Tek!

And the Mig-29SMT

We have gone way offtopic. But a full fidelity Fulcrum (any type) would be awesome. An advanced version like the SMT would be even better.

Eurofighter Typhoon project was iced... Likely to be cancelled if they don't get license renewed....

Yes we have Su-27S in the FC3 fidelity with a PFM.

Do we deserve to get a Su-27SM in the cockpit simulation? Yes, please... Pretty please!

What comes to F-15C etc... It is a another forum thing then, this is Su-27S forum ;)

And they do have coming the best of the best, a F-14A+/B and F/A-18C.

But so do we are getting a Su-17M4-K and Mig-23 etc....

But Su-27S datalink... Needs to be fixed.

It is annoying when a this kind small things takes longest time to wait, while the larger updates comes sooner like new graphics engine etc.

Hahaaa... *sobs into pillow*.

We wish.

We are on final stretch of 2018 and datalink still doesn't work in MP, having another client as my wing dont link the 2 ships

This is old, I dont think it will be repaired for FC, maybe if a complete clickeable version of SU-27/33 is released, and IMO, wait for that is wasted time.

My favourite feature from the Su-27.

Is hard to admit this possibly will not be introduced never ever.

I tried many times speak with devs but no one care

I dont know why this are this hard to do

Wags please bring a light to our poor souls

We hope for a answer =\

We’ll have leverage when Hornet datalink is out:)

After Hornet DL is done I think we’ll finally convince them to change it

+1 no love for fc3 planes :(
