Those avionics are far from simple. They're crappy. They're crappy old stuff that you had to do a lot of manual things with to get anything done - THAT is why you had a back-seater. They'd actually be /more/ complex. Not that the F-15/16/18 had a requirement for huge avionics automation, especially the radar, so that one pilot could operate it as compared to older aircraft. What I'd hope for in terms of 'Legend' is more something along the lines of legendary aircraft that are still in active service (therefore who could logically be seen in scenarios in the DCS world), for example F-4, Mig-21... simpler avionics type of aircrafts that can be done faster than, say, an F-18 or an F-15.

I hate to put this to you this way, but please make 'some terrain like Nevada' and then come back and say that $20 for all that work is a rip-off. I quadruple dog-dare you. What I dislike is the $20 Nevada terrian addon for two reasons. For one, $20 for some extra terrian is a rip off.

They're crappy. Actually, you're quite right! I was thinking more along the lines of FC2 when I wrote that, vs DCS, where this 'crappiness' could have been fudged in the way it was modeled... Oh well, does that mean we're stuck with props for legends? Ian

You never know, early jets aren't exactly easy to fly and fight in. Whatever happens, you are guaranteed to have your hands full in a dogfight. Nate

I'd like to see a terrain other than the Crimea. But I know it won't happen.
I've been flying the same skies since 1998.

Nevada's okay, but I was thinking more like Iraq/Afghanistan/Pakistan, etc.

Now that a new terrain engine is coming, I would expect various other terrains to happen - either by ED or third parties. Many have tried and ended up stopping. Manchuria was in the works by an FC fan for example. In any case, personally I think there could be more interesting theatres than Iraq/Afganistan - Pakistan maybe, Iran, Korea, perhaps somewhere in south Africa or say, around south America ...

Ooh, South America or Africa would be great! My favorite campaigns in Falcon 3.0 with the expansions were the Panama/ Nicaragua, Pakistan/ Kashmir, and Kurile Islands theaters of operation.

What I dislike is the $20 Nevada terrian addon for two reasons. For one, $20 for some extra terrian is a rip off. Its a ripoff. The entire DCS games cost $60, terrian is not worth 33% of that. Sorry. I'd paid $20 or so for some improvements over FC2 + some extra content (terrian). $20 for just terrian? No thanks. Especially if it is filled with the DRM system that ED products tend to have. I'd pay $5 maximum.
