I only hope they deliver on all their projects…

I’m sure they will, but the timeline might be longer than we would like. I really like the M2000C, Harrier and MiG 19…so I will give them the benefit of the doubt.

Well, to be fair, two weeks™ after announcement is longer than we would like… 
I have no reason to doubt them, but they are building an impressive lineup of modules.
I love the Harrier. And the M2000C is great too. Was looking forward to the 15E but I believe it’s backseat is mp only so might not be a day one purchase for me.
They do great work so far.
I’m gonna need that Victor Tanker to go with this beauty!!

Hopefully it will still have guns in the nose but expect they will go for the one with pylons on the outer wings for AG stuff.
On the Lightning?

I want those weird overwing fuel tanks / rocket pods they sold the Saudis.
Doesn’t that look delightfully bonkers? Oh yes it does 
Here’s everything you ever wanted to know about the lightning but were afraid to ask:

I guess as long as the extra pylons could be removed then I could live with that. I learned something today though as I had not heard of the Lightning being used in a ground attack role. Give me guns and a couple of Firestreaks or Red Top’s and I’ll be happy.

Question I’ve got is where/how are they getting data for it? I was under the impression that the UK MoD had just about everything locked down tight.
Probably Cape town I imagine

The following is more of my mind just rambling on tan any specific comment or opinion…although it does pertain to the subject so no derailment…
Aerosoft did a Lightning for FSX (and I think XP now). IIRC either it or their F-14 caste with a Tu-95. (I have both). It was also TACPACK. So I set ups few intercepts north of Scotland. Great fun, however, like all good Aerosoft models, the jet’s systems were modeled with high accuracy…specifically the fuel consumption. If I had a nickel for every time I flamed out over the North Sea… 
Will I get this mod? 
A good question. I love the Mirage 2000 and have tried to adopt the MiG-19 as the son I never had…which is weird because I have a son who I am very proud of…anyway…Razbam makes good DCS mods (they also used to make good FSX mods…just say’n).
But still, I don’t know. As you all know I am an unapologetic “realist” when it comes to DCS. I absolutely refuse to put the USN carrier in the Black Sea because it is a blatant violation of the Montreux Convention. (The fact that at one time in my career I had some words with a Admiral who just couldn’t understand that fact may be a partial reason for my stand in DCS).
So a British Electric Lightning…where would we fly that? Caucasus Map? I wish they would throw in a couple of Turkish (NATO) airbases. The Lightning is fast and needs it space. Persian Gulf? Saudi Arabia purchased a few…that might be fun; definitely enough space. Normandy? Too small. Any altitude ad speed, you might blink and miss half the map. Nevada? Too early for Red Flag I think.
Hmmmm… …I was hoping for an A-7 but this may do…

For that I just imagine the Caucasus as being the Balkans and the Black Sea as the Adriatic Sea.
Kuwait and Saudi Arabia would fit the bill there.
