DCS Questions and Answers - February 2025
In the previous, January 2025 Questions & Answers video, we discussed 25 questions submitted last year. This generated a lot of follow-on questions in the comments, and I’ll use this video to answer to the most common questions. A common question pertained to 3rd parties (one in particular), but please understand that this is a subject I’m not at liberty to discuss.
NOTE 1: As always, I cannot comment on 3rd parties and related matters.
NOTE 2: To follow up on the topic of REDFOR aircraft based on several questions in the comments, older aircraft like the Su-17/22, MiG-23, MiG-25, MiG-27 could certainly be possible for DCS at a study level given the availability of references. However, these would likely be 3rd party aircraft and not done by EDSA. For more modern aircraft like the Su-30, Su-34, Su-35, etc., these would certainly be very interesting aircraft for DCS, but it does not appear that enough public reference information for this aircraft is available publicly for a study-level simulation (unlike the F-35). At this time, such aircraft would have to be at an FC-level. For now, the EDSA focus is on the MiG-29 and free Su-25 FC-level, with perhaps/maybe an Su-27SK someday.
