DCS: F100 Super Sabre D

There’s a deep list of books on the air warfare part alone (my book shelf of that era sags a bit).

Start with ‘Thud Ridge’. Jack Broughton I think was the author…yup, amazon for $11.00 paperback. “On Yankee Station” for the Navy side.

Now, someone give me a CF-100. I must have all of the early jets.

There’s even a comic book on Misty Missions with dual seater F-100F out there, quite entertaining! [Edit]: Also Bury Us Upside Down on the subject of Misty Missions was a great read as a regular book.

The F-100 in Arma 3 Unsung and now SOG PF are also quite nice for the limited capability of arma 3 fixed wing flight models :slight_smile:

And agreed, flying the Hun in SF was a blast.

Cheers,
TeTeT

Have about 12 million hours in the F-100A/C/D/F in SF and was generally a go to jet - mainly because they were so poor compared to the MiGs in close in A-A and you could pretend to be John Boyd for a bit.

Interesting to see what they do with it was there were some quirks with the real thing at high alpha that might leave you gritting your teeth.

Ditto. I’m very anxious to fight the 17 in a Phantom or the Hun. The little buggers are supposed to be incorrigible!

When I was but 6 months old, dad had a nasty time with one that I posted about in 2017.

10 years and 2 studios later the Hun finally gets official.

Are you involved in that? Didn’t you have something like that in the works?

Excellent…heavier than A/C but the flaps gave them better low speed handling according to another ex Hun flyer.

Coming Summer of 2026!

be positive!! or we won’t get updates!!!

Honestly I didn’t realize that was snark, I took it as excitement. Based on the WIP pics and the development cycle of a module, I guess 2026 felt realistic to me. I don’t know if they’ve actually announced an expected release date somewhere, but I wouldn’t expect it before 2025… is that unreasonable, considering the amount of work that goes into an aircraft?

(Totally sincere, no sarcasm or knocking ED or anyone else intended in this post.)

It really depends on the experience and time available per week that the devs have, and of course the module complexity.
But generally I think 2-5 years of active development to early access release is what we see
