So I´m much more eager to see a features announcement for it. _________________________ Love flying DCS Huey!

Nate Member Registered: 05/24/01 Posts: 1213 Loc: Dublin, Ireland	Originally Posted By: Frederf Originally Posted By: GrayGhost DCS doesn't even have to stay with aircraft, let alone modern ... check out the upcoming Combined Arms add-on. The "combined arms" add-on is actually a product of the original military trainer that they accidentally left in (later patched out.) It was to enhance their close air support training, having a human JTAC. I wouldn't take it as a sign that DCS is attempting to branch into non-air vehicles. It looks like they got permission to include it into the DCS commercial products and decided to add a little more functionality. ] The CA feature set hasn't been announced yet - the above is speculation.

I think I might quit my job. I can see myself skulking around the bush with a designator- talking to guys in A-10s and coordinating attacks on targets... oh yes please. Then again- I can see myself in the A-10 talking to a REAL person on the ground... I think someone just peed in my pants. _________________________ "ENO" SimHQ Firehouse Server Thread LOF Firehouse Server Thread

Georgio Member Registered: 10/31/01 Posts: 1905 Loc: Hockley, UK	I must admit I'm surprised DCS aren't going for something like the F22 or F35 and it's variants for the next project. Yea I know most of the data is classified etc. but that doesn't mean it wouldn't be possible to code it and make an excellent sim with the information that is known. Even though I love the P-51 unless they set the timeline from the end of WW2 and encompass Korea it seems a bit pointless.

Anything DCS needs, IMO, to be modeled as close to real as possible. There is no way a 22 or 35 could be modeled close to real, flight characteristics are classified, avionics are classified, etc..... _________________________ www.476vfightergroup.com

Personally, there are so many old aircraft DCS could go after. Someday, I hope...we see flyable Sabres, Mig 21s, Mig 23s, Phantom F-4s, F-105s. Of course I also don't want to forget F/A-18s, Mig-29s, Apache helicopter etc.

tagTaken2 Member Registered: 05/06/06 Posts: 1000 Loc: Gone.	Originally Posted By: Lion Well, if it narrows the guessing game for you, its a "popular" US fixed wing jet fighter. Kind of narrows it down to F-15, 16, 18, hard to believe they still won't announce which one it's going to be, if not which version. Probably too far-fetched, but there are screens of F-16 cockpit around, wonder if they were doing but cancelled after BMS came out?
