There were screens of other cockpits as well. Not that this matters anyway. 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?

I think the f-16 is well cooked. I'd preorder an apache, f-15c/e or maybe a... Ummmmm... Even an f-18e/f would add some excitement to naval ops. And maybe a different theater of operations would be nice. this combined arms angle is exciting...

They have screens of cockpits laying around because if you look the cockpits of AI aircraft in the current games, they're pretty highly detailed.

I love speculating as much as the next person but I don't have a whole lot of concern whatever comes out.
Honestly, how many were even aware of the Ka-50 before DCS decided to do it? I think It's not about them making sims for the platforms we love, it's about them making us love the platforms they make sims for.

I agree with rud24 - and in truth, whilst I have my favourites that I'd like, I'd be quite stoked about a relative unknown. I just can't get excited about props. So whatever they are working on in the jet/helicopter department, I'd be stoked about. Just wish I knew

It seems the planes they do are the one's available for inspection. Anything else that is classified would probably be off of the list.

I couldn't imagine an aircraft that has seen military service that I would not find entertaining. KC-10? UH-60? P-80? F-5E? C-130? Each one has something new to offer in terms of experiencing aviation in a way that one hasn't before. There are ones better than others, namely ones with lots of functions and ones with a prevalent role on the FC/DCS combined battlefield.
P-51 sounds cool if for no other reason than I haven't seen a plane of this type in enough depth. IL-2 just doesn't cut it.
And I'm making a mental bookmark about the combined ops thing. If it's exactly as I think it will be I claim the right for an "I told you so." If it's not then you can laugh at me.

Very cool. Must be getting close. If I read the credits correct, looks like Matt Wagner does the manual. DCS always does first rate manuals. So well done, documented superbly, visuals are crystal clear. A good quarter of the fun with this series of sims has always been the reading of the manual.

Nice manual. I had already intended to buy the Mustang, thinking it would be somewhat casual and an interesting diversion. But the manual has moved my curiosity up a notch. Now I'm having thoughts of the cg moving as fuel state changes and wonder if I will be able to execute that maneuver that Robin Olds spoke of; he had some crazy name for it-I can't remember it, but it was very effective... going to have to go look that up again...
On the down side, I was disappointed to see the location. I haven't been following the development very close -- would rather have seen something else. Nice to see that it's the D though.
Thanks for the heads up Viper.

After reading the section regarding landing gear I can already see a bunch of people complaing if they don't read the manual...

But you know I'm going to have to try it right? Same with flying upside-down for more than 10 seconds... Que the comment from ICE...

2/3 modules have issues when flying inverted for over 10 seconds? In the third of the available modules, I'd love to see 10s of sustained inverted flight!
The world is going mad. Me? I'm doing fine!

Is it possible to have the ground crew adjust the ailerons between the 10-12-15 travel ranges?
