f22 or f35?

Highly unlikely. ED's prerequisite for building new models is that they have access to enough in the way of appropriate documentation and SME's. The levels of classification around the F22 and F35 mean that there's not enough in the public domain to make those aircraft viable options of DCS in the near future.

Oh, it's that time of the month again.

 

f22

 

Just fly F-16 then F-5 in the same mission. Simple math (16+5) tells you that makes an F-21, which is very close to an F-22. :lol:

 

Also, a pure air superiority fighter like the F-22 would be pretty boring in DCS World. Especially since current AI adversaries are already totally outgunned against the F-16/F-18. At least the F-35 is a multirole jet...

Probably not going to happen for probably the next few decades.

 

And besides what are they going to fight? The majority of assets peak before the 90s, save for the GREENFOR JF-17, 2-3 tanks, and a few Chinese ships... Personally I'd be more interested in aircraft from the 60s - early 90s.

How accurately modeled are the systems tho? Likely not very

wow...I just found that X-plane has it

You understand that probably 95% of the systems modeling they have is guesswork though, right? There is no way in hell any real info is actually available on the public domain, for a 5th generation fighter jet that just entered active service.

There is no control over plane performance from third parties in XP or FS. Nothing stops you from making a plane go Mach 2 at sea level without AB. They probably guess the performance of that one based on adverts and articles about it, which is basically unverifiable.

 

ED requires third parties to have significant documentation about a plane before making it a module. This cannot happen for a new plane that is highly classified. But if all you care about is flying something that looks like it is an F35, go to this XP module or find a mod. There’s probably one with F15 avionics so you can even shoot missiles and play pretend. But it will fly nothing like the real deal.

Well on one hand the F-22 is a noughties aircraft which happens to be contemporaneous with our F/A-18 and F-16 and also happens to be out of production

But on the other hand the F-35 seems about as tailored to the export market as say the F-16 and JF-17 so there is a distinct possibility for either :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

Even if that were the case, they still have absolutely nothing peer to fight, nor will they have anything peer to fight for the foreseeable future...

Are either of these going to be modeled?

 

I am just surprised you are even asking about this considering you joined these forums in 2016. I guess you have either not being around much or you still have not caught on to the requirements needed to develop any aircraft into a module.

 

I recommend seeing this interview with ED to get up to date on the latest.

X Plane has it because its not a combat focused sim, quite alot of systems in most fast jets for xp11 arn't modeled. the purpose of fast jets in xp11 is so that civil aviation simmers can try out what its like to just fly these aircraft without learning about all of the weapon systems etc. the majority of the systems in xp11 fast jets are often just the Devs taking creative liberties to make an aircraft a little more indeapth.

The F-22 is not even allowed to be exported (which is kind of why it's out of production in the first place), so no, not any time soon and likely never.

 

The F-35 is not happening any time soon, and could not happen even if it were not classified, because all of its "flagship" systems like fancy datalinks, AESA, EW suite et al., are something that likely can not be implemented in the DCS engine right now. I do think it will eventually be a flagship ED product like the Viper or Hornet in, say, 15 ish years though. Too many are being built for a realistic module not to sell like hot cakes.

And yes, in the meantime we desperately need the Phantom. That nickname alone demands a DCS module.

Exactly, plus they will have absolutely nothing to fight, fighting mostly against Cold War assets.

Probably, though even then it might be a stretch.

Absolutely, and preferably in at least a USAF and USN variant.
