Most issues will be system, thermodynamic, and aerodynamic related.
It would actually be quite easy to put out an aircraft that would exhibit "faux" supersonic capability, but for us at A2A, that would be sacrilegious. :-)
When we finally enter into the mach 1 + realm, we'll be replicating things right and that will take a bit of time.

I'm sure it would be very well modelled, we would expect no less from you guys :D
But yes, that must be quite complex to get it right across those domains.

Not sure what to think about those textures really, my system is quite recent and has fast SSD (but limited by the SATA at 6 GB/s, it's not a PCIe interface). Perhaps the default textures are fine, as said Roadburner, but with Orbx vector and region layers, plus possibly an airport in the distance, it's another matter. I'm just hoping it improves with time and technology, and gets smoother and more fluid.

Well I can speak for UTX/GEX and FlyTampa airports as it stands now. I decided to do a little test since this wasn't something that I really thought about doing. Now with the stock F-35 at Mach 1.1ish for some reason there was something weird going on with the frames as it wasn't freezing, but it was almost like going in and out of slow motion. So did a repeat with of the same experiment at KBUF, San Diego, and LA with the F-22 and it was perfectly fine at mach 1.2. The Flytampa airport would load in on the horizon, and then would completely load up in high detail when I was about 6 or 7 miles away. However I could see the autogen line where the items were loading at the edge of the draw distance. That seemed to be more of a factor than the textures as I didn't see a single blurry texture looking around. I just need REX to release Skyforce and PMDG to bring the NGX over toward the end of the month to get a total picture of what the performance is going to look like as a whole.

A subsonic, old timey jet would be a good fun start (with A2A quality of course).

T-bird... :wink: Part Comanche (long, straight wings with tip tanks... work with me), part T-6. Hopefully it sees the light of day before P3D V6. After the Model 35 Bonanza will be fine. No pressure.

A lovely F-86 would be awesome 8)

Or that, seems like a lot of fun!

Put me down for an L-39 or BAE Hawk/T-45. I could even settle for a T-37 or T-33. And how about a BD-5J for those quick hops? Who needs shock waves?

What do you guys think about the Alpha Jet? Dudley?

I would love it as an A2A... subsonic, easy to fly, easy to service and still flying regularly for example for Patroullie de France..

Hard to say which way we'll go with the jets. Right now our path is fairly well defined.

Hi Folks,

The F86 in DCS is a hoot to fly and my personal favorite.

Regards,
Scott
