December 3, 20196 yr Speaking of large bombers, I wouldn’t mind a B52 but if I had the choice I would go for a B-58 because of the weird flying features and possibility of low penetration flights. I don’t see any chance to see a high fidelity one though. Too much of a niche.

And depending on the situation you end up flying in them at different angles, routes, speeds etc etc. But in the end, i really don't think it's the scenery that will make DCS users shift on a civilian simulator. I guess we'll see. I know i'll enjoy both for different reasons 🙂 Chock 1.1: "The only thing that whines louder than a jet engine is a flight simmer."
December 3, 20196 yr everything what flys should be availible in FS2020! Remember fsx acc pack? I woudl love old fighter planes, Bombers in F2020 and modern fighters too!
December 3, 20196 yr Personally I don't see the need for fighters in the this sim, but I do hope that once it is finished, Microsoft / Asobo will use this technology as a base for new products including a combat flight simulator.

December 3, 20196 yr You not seeing the need for something is irrelevant. DCS is a nice aircraft systems simulator, but is a very limited flight simulator. Military aviation deserves to be represented as much as any other segment.

Of course, I'm kind of an outlier - I live about a 20-minute drive from Joint Base Andrews. When the winds are out of the south, I get C-17s on right base outside my office window, and every so often an Air Force One flyby. Wouldn't mind having some of that represented in the sim - including (slightly off topic) some good military AI. Just sayin'... Alan Ampolsk"Ah, Paula, they are firing at me!"-- Saint-Exupery
December 3, 20196 yr I remember as a kid watching the C5's land at Dover AFB. It'd be awesome to try to pilot one of those. I really hope for all sizes of cargo planes and a few fighter jets. there should definitely be military AI operating in their MOAs. Maybe I can finally learn how to interact with MOAs. What would be really cool would be formation flying with the Blue Angels. | Dave | I've been around for most of my life.

December 3, 20196 yr Yesterday afternoon we had two Typhoons practising the interception of very low flying targets a few times in the vicinity, on one occasion directly over our house. I do love such private air shows 🙂 Edited December 3, 20196 yr by FDEdev

I do love such private air shows 🙂 I know. I live in an area now where you can see two Blue Angles streaking just above the water and then a moment later you hear the roar of their engines. Its like something out of a dream sometimes. They also fly high over my house (and sometimes not so high) -- awesome to see and hear.

December 3, 20196 yr This brings back memories of traveling in Europe in 1980 - and in particular, a Luftwaffe F-104 that was practicing strafing runs on my Cologne-Amsterdam train. If MSFS gives us trains and somebody delivers an F-104, I could relive that from the other guy's perspective. Alan Ampolsk"Ah, Paula, they are firing at me!"-- Saint-Exupery
December 3, 20196 yr An F-104 would be great! Btw, one of the most impressive F104 videos IMO.....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyBDEG9dg-Q

December 3, 20196 yr An OV10 Bronco would be superb to do some VFR flying in...can you imagine popping in and out of clouds in the bubble canopy
December 3, 20196 yr I can imagine alot! With an F-16 highspeed low flying through some City Skylines ! Or the Grand Canyon, how can anybody dont want to 😎 👍
