One of, if not the most boring military plane in the world. Less interesting than even the Saab Grippen. The avation equavalent of the Nissan Primera. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps but I cant get past that it looks exactly what the 7 year old me would have drawn as a homage to stuff like the F16 and Mirage. That and well......its a bit crap. I think its the one DCS module I've never even been tempted to look at even in the sales (and I've even considered the Christensen Eagle!!). In fact, I think I'd buy the Kola map twice again before I bought this. Edited October 5 by Boo 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlitzPig_EL Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 Had to look that up. Ewww... Looks like the love child of a Mirage and an F 18, with a tail from an F16 tacked on. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 Only ever saw one of these flying once, summer of 1988 over Low Wray in the Lakes. Though quite mudane in its role, its rarety stuck in my mind over the F-111s, Tornados, A10s, Lightings, Phantoms, Buccaneers and Jaguars I saw over the years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief_Mouser Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 Interesting aircraft. The name is familiar but I don't think I ever saw one fly. Certainly seen one in a museum. Someone else can have the guess - I scrolled around the web rather too much trying to find it. 😲 🍻 3 Quote The Bell Inn, Bath. Live music venue and real ale pub (thebellinnbath.co.uk) I am in the homepage picture... or I would be if they hadn't cropped off the bottom part of it. 🍻 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Serpent Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 Boo is insane when it comes to the JF-17. The soft sweet female Asian Bitchin’ Betty voice is worth it alone. Great module, seriously! It’s a very well done DCS aircraft. 🤨 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That what makes it so cool to fly in DCS. It’s a pastiche. Like Lady Gaga. I spent some time in this plane, and it’s pretty capable for a budget modern jet fighter. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 1 hour ago, ZachariasX said: It it the one with the gun pointed downwards? Yup - canted down. Some say precisely for GA but more likely just cos its belly mounted although it obvously benefits GA which does appear to be its primary purpose. I get the love for it in DCS but given I have the F16 and F18, I have both a better fighter and a better bomb truck. If I want a more pure and simple approach I have the Harrier, F4 and the 339. If I want crazy odd, I got the Viggen. Anyhow - OT. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am weary of folks who build supersonic jets that are designed to shoot peasants. I prefer my twatwagen. It's not good at much, but that it does very well. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guessing….you saw one flying over the lakes 36 years ago and then mention other RAF stuff which implies it’s also ancient RAF…… Andover? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the Andover. Ill say that by 1988 its wasnt really RAF but rather RAE. Surviving examples are pretty much a staple of every uk air museum and I imagine are routinely rushed past by people looking for Spitfires...
