They are working on a mystery modern jet as well. Apparently it is much loved but not thr a6.

F-111 F-111 F-111 F-111!!!  :dreamer:

(Didn't we have a prayer smiley?)

The cobra also seems a very long way off.

At least they're doing that! -- news to me.

I thought I'd read somewhere that they were doing the F-15e next. Not sure where. But I'd love the F-111. If they want a non-US plane, then the Panavia Tornado would be a blast

[JudgeDredd]

Oooh...plus one for the tornado

True, so I didn't count that as a mystery modern jet.

Nooooooooooo.  :hide: :'( My F-4

"While we hope to simulate the Cobra someday (as well as the F-4E), it's not on our immediate production plan. Our current production for new aircraft is the P-47D, Mi-24, and Mosquito. Between these and supporting exiting aircraft, we are already very, very, very busy. When the guys at BST were moved back to the mothership, former BST project plans had to be revaluated. Sorry for any confusion."

I'm thrilled about the Hind (although they are certainly not developing my preferred variant), but word that the Cobra is not in production is definitely a big disappointing blow... :'(

[JasonPratt]

......kind of okay trading a Hind for a Cobra, I guess.

Wolverines are deadly against either one, so...

No, I get it. Just trying to wish it into reality more quicker and fasterer

[mikeck]

WW2 planes first huh?
Rant on: "finally someone is simulating WW2 aircraft instead of ANOTHER F-111, F-4 or F-15e simulation! Yawn"
Rant off

I'm glad to finally find a flight sim I enjoy. Plenty of time for me to finish learning the f-18 and learn the f-16

[Skoop]

That's terrible news about the cobra.  The sim really needs a true blue force attack helo.  Something that can loft 8 to 16 hellfire with flir and gimbal mounted gun.  It probaly comes down to the similarities of already developed systems from the shark and hip that make the hind the quick score choice for them.  In a similar way that the f18 lead to an easier dev cycle for the f16.

[mikeck]

Wish another outfit would make one for them. Isnt that what heatblur did with the F-14? Or Razbam with the Av-8 and Mirage 2k?

What does the "BST back to mothership" thing mean? 

[Jarhead0331]

^BST is Belsimtek. They were a third party developer that I believe has been folded back in to Eagle Dynamics.

Cool!  Thanks!

Wow!  Mosquito in 2020!  Crazy!!!

  Inside the I-16.   The sale is here!  This thing only costs 20 bucks!  The Mosquito should work a lot better!
