A similar thread posted earlier.

 

P.S. I wanna get an F/A-18F instead of Echo.

You are leaving out one important piece of the puzzle, a license. Before ED or any other 3rd party can even consider doing a high fidelity simulation of a certain aircraft they must obtain a license.

 

 

 

And I hate to brake it to you but ED fairly recently said in an interview with the Grim reapers that they have no plans at the moment to do a Super Hornet. See question 51 @1:35:17

I am glad that at that time ED opted for the Hornet and not the Super Hornet, because the Super Hornet is only operational (to my knowledge) in the United States and Australia and that allows Spanish and Canadian virtual pilots to have the possibility of operate with the aircraft that represents them.

 

Having Hornet, I would not be interested in a Super Hornet.

A Simple Visual Representation is not the same as a 1:1 Recreation of the Aircraft's systems.

Only if looking at the exterior model

An outside model is enough to break the dive. For me, he would not be a true 12th Wing fighter at the Torrejón base. In fact, the Eurofighter will be my next module, if the improved UH-1H doesn't come out first. Many people like to fly the plane that represents them and not put skin to a model by becoming fictional. I have been pretending that the Mirage 2000 was a Mirage F1, or a Eurofighter, for a long time, because until the launch of the Hornet, Spain did not have a fourth generation fighter. I am in favor of working on airplanes that are operational in most countries so that the entire community feels represented. From the utmost respect.

So, the F-4 Phantom then. We already have the F-16 and MiG-21 which are the other prolific actors in the jet export age.

Super Hornet Block III will get more countries on the Boeing Bug wagon.

Fair enough, but i don't let nationalism blind me to what aircraft like or dislike , or choose to fly, or at least not be the first and foremost reason for buying an aircraft.

 

I look at buying modules from a pragmatic POV. What is this aircraft role, and what are its capabilities, and does it fit my play style or personal requirements of what i want to to do?. I approach almost as if i were an buying a car ( or a defense official shopping for a aircraft for that matter ;) ) . And i would like to think that there are many more like minded people given the fact that "multirole" genre fighters seem to be the best sellers.

 

Only 2nd place do i look at historical significance, and and only in a very near last place whether other not my country uses it or not.

 

 

Its which is why i myself am interested in the Eurofighter even though my nation does not operate it.

 

 

Hence even if Canada doesn't operate the Super Hornet, i would have been equally ( if not more happy) if Super Hornet had been done over the legacy Hornet within DCS, granted, the legacy has a broader time period going for it even if it is a "mid 2000s" variant.

I would add the EA-18G Growler to the list! though that will probably never ever happen

It is not "nationalism" it is called illusion.

 

The same illusion as the child who has a firefighter dad and goes to the toy store to buy a fire engine like his dad's.

[Gladman]

If Canada ends up with anything, I bet its the Gripen. I certainly would prefer the block III SH but liberals are liberals.

I don't think it was necessary to use memes to express yourself. I think you've started to be disrespectful. The moment you said "nationalisms don't blind you" should have blocked you. If you're not going to respect opinions, don't post polls. Someone who is not excited to fly the plane of his country and calls it "nationalist blindness" does not deserve another minute of my time.

Yes because i was confused by your response. Maybe it was lost in translation?

 

Any case Dont cherry pick my statement., hence why i said 'fair enough". You have your reasons and i have mine. It means you have your methods of selecting your aircraft and i have my own decision making process that simple as that. I explain my own though process of choosing an aircraft, not arguing against your personal method.

 

You chose to get offended at something trivial that wasn't intended to come off so strong or as an insult. I'm sorry you chose to interpret it as such. I understand that some people will want to fly as specific respective air force, or even be enthusiastic enough to role-play down to a specific squadron. Thats simply not the forefront for aircraft choice when it comes to me.

 

Also sorry for not being sorry that i would rather fly a Super Hornet over a CF18 even though my air force operates the latter.

The normal thing is that virtual squads like the Blue Angels, fly with the model of their unit, instead of taking another model and painting it blue and it is not nationalistic blindness, they even take out a mod to represent the cockpit. The virtual Eagle patrol also prefers to fly with the plane of its unit, than to take any other and paint it orange and gray and it is not nationalist blindness either. This is completely normal for 99% of military aviation enthusiasts.

Fair enough. Maybe i just dont have the same level of passion as some people have to this hobby

 

I would think the cockpit difference of blue angel specific legacy Hornets are inconsequential given that they only do aerobatics flying and not any combat missions.

 

 

Ah well i guess that gives ED an opportunity to do DLC of aircraft sub variants or derivatives should they run out of ideas of new modules.

Now you said it well, you called it passion and not nationalistic blindness.

 

Well, I honestly think your intention was not to offend. I apologize.

More likely to be the F-35, Canada has been a partner nation since the start (or near the start) of the program and would lose out on billions and jobs if they decided to abandon it

Perhaps your unaware of the actions taken against Boeing by the Canadian government.

 

I do however, hope you are correct.

I'd say that a country of such a small population with better than a trillion dollars in debt and a focus on importing illegal immigrants can't afford the F-35.

 

Pardon the politics however we all know its the reality of the situation.

Ok Guys and Gals, Lets all take a minute to calm down and breathe,

 

It's not about the politics of Boeing, or This Country or that Country, etc.
