Next DCS (European) Fixed Wing Aircraft Wish List

I'd like to fly the jaguar but heard it's very unforgiving and the avionics are a nightmare! Still, I love the rugged landing gear and the way the RAF flew it 100ft off the deck.

Oh I dunno...

Getting acquainted with this might be fun:

That Jaguar cockpit is insane! Also, notice the control stick in GR 9 and Jaguar - same as F-15.

Lightning any but a 2 seater would be a bonus

Jag - 2 seater is pretty (it was underpowered when fully loaded)

Tornado GR4

Mirage, almost any

Viggen

TSR2 for the What if brigade

Buccaneer - Carrier ops

Harrier

Lightning: it is my first choice, any model but the F53 single seat or F55 two seat as first choice due to them having ground attack capability.

Vulcan: it is about time we had a heavy in DCS :)

Westland Whirlwind: Early ww2 twin engine single seat ground attack / fighter

My choice would be:

SAAB JA37 VIGGEN

SAAB JAS 39 Gripen (still to classified to be possible me think)

Harrier AV8B

The reason for the JA37 is that our air force has played cat & mouse

with the old Soviet air force the entire cold war over the Baltic :pilotfly:

This calls for a northern Europe map in EDGE as well :music_whistling:

1- Dassault Rafale-C

2- Dassault AlphaJet

Totally the Panavia Tornado for me. Unsure which variant I like the most, but easily the first aircraft I try to unlock in arcade sims if it is an option.

Tornado GR1 /1a!!! Please! Or the aircraft it replaced and was inferior to in many ways (All Up Weight, Combat Range, Reliability, Speed at low level with War Load, Ride Height Stability etc) the Hawker Siddley Buccaneer S2.B.....

No one mentioned the most iconic European fighter of all time?? :doh: incredible...

Sold to more than 20 countries all over the world!

In few hours during the six days war in 1967, the Israelians Mirage III destroyed all the Syrians and Egyptians Migs 21 in fight...

This I WOULD LOVE, my favourit old "modern" jet!! ---> MIRAGE III (C or E version please)

Im with you FiFi ... :)

Well yes Mirage III in top of the list.. Mirage III and MiG-21 .. that would generate some serious fun and sales :)

I want a full DCS Mirage F1 :) ..... with exocet capability .

Problem with Dassault aircraft is that they are extremely protective with their brand. There have been several attempts to produce paywares and sometimes freeware add ons for fsx, and the authors have systematically been called by dassault lawyers to remove their product. AFAIK they are the only manufacturers in the world to refuse to have a fan base freely promoting their products.

Really? Didn't know that!...that's a shame.

I saw Razbam 3rd party had a Mirage 2000 on their work table for some time, but can't find any further information on it.

Even though i would much prefer the old Mirage III, a Mirage 2000 could be fun too! :music_whistling:

TSR 2 please... Figure the "What if's"... Oooh the "What if's"....

Sorry still can't get the YouTube thingy to work in forum posts O.o

Rafale M or Tornado? Tornado because it is a classic!

As have Northrop Grumman

I am surprised that nobody has mentioned the Fiat G-91 yet.

Ok, it is a ground attack aircraft again, and only three countries actually used it IIRC, but it is such a beautiful one, I like it very much.

EDIT: @lawsuit topic: Textron (Cessna, Bell helicopters and others) had a lawsuit against EA for Battlefield § I think, because EA had their stuff in it without asking.

Razbam DOES have a M2k in the works still, but their other products (The T-2, and T-6-IIB) are taking priority ATM. The M2k is still scheduled as their third release AFAIK.

Mirage 2000 or Jaguar GR.1 ..... gets around the twin seater concept .

Having seen the scenery from MS Flight Sim X, why can DCS not collaborate with the ORBX team to bring us 'actual' real-live scenery from around the globe to introduce us 'would be military pilots' the flying arena we truly desire??

In addition to the scenery, aircraft we should be seeing in the future of DCS with FULL interactive cockpits (as per A-10C, which is amazing (by the way)) - the F-14 (now, no longer in service), the A-4 Skyhawk, the SEPECAT Jaguar, the Harrier GR9 and the F-18 (which I firmly believe is the most 'wanted' of aircraft (TO DATE) for the DCS environment.

HOWEVER, not forgetting the Russian aircraft (obviously) - FULL interactive cockpits for the SU-27 Flanker (switches, avionics, etc) - is the one I, personally, would like to see and, of course, the Mil Mi-24 Hind (the most beautiful / amazing attack helicopter).

Can DCS advise as to their thoughts on the above ideas please?

Bristol Blenheim please for DCSW WW2. Lots of affection for that aircraft since I read a copy of Commando many years ago.

Anyways we could make a mission whereby I could drop off one of Douglas Bader's lost prosthetic legs he lost from when he get shot down. Love that old b&w film Reach for the Sky too.

The Phantom is a good call...But I'd vote for the Harrier! As other have said, lots of potential for great missions.

mb 346, sexiest trainer/light attack aircraft alive......

If the flight model can be done properly, Harrier all the way... I don't care which, I'd even take the GR3
