Jets

Twelve DCS aircraft are covered: ten fighters and two attack jets. Pick one in the top bar and every page adapts: radar modes and their cockpit labels, TWS rules, weapons, RWR, key bindings and units.

Fighters

Jet Module Developer Skin and units
Su-27 Flaming Cliffs 3 Eagle Dynamics Russian, metric
Su-33 Flaming Cliffs 3 Eagle Dynamics Russian, metric
J-11A Flaming Cliffs 3 Eagle Dynamics Russian, metric
MiG-29S Flaming Cliffs 3 Eagle Dynamics Russian, metric
F-15C Flaming Cliffs 3 Eagle Dynamics Western, imperial
F/A-18C Full fidelity Eagle Dynamics Western, imperial
F-16C Full fidelity Eagle Dynamics Western, imperial
F-14B Full fidelity Heatblur Western, imperial
JF-17 Full fidelity Deka Ironwork Western, imperial
M-2000C Full fidelity Razbam Western, imperial

Fighters fly the BVR modules (Learn, Radar, TWS, Missiles, Defense, RWR, Sortie), Pattern & landing and Merge & guns. The F/A-18C also has its own HARM & SEAD tab. The Learn bar shows each jet only the pages it can open.

Attack jets

Jet Module Developer Skin and units Its own tab
Su-25T Free (FC3 avionics) Eagle Dynamics Russian, metric Shkval & Vikhr
A-10C II Full fidelity Eagle Dynamics Western, imperial Targeting pod & Mavericks

Attack jets have no air-to-air radar. They fly their own tab and CAS & JTAC.

Units can be switched at any time with the button next to the jet selector.

What changes per jet

  • Radar: scan patterns, TWS capacity, whether you can launch from TWS, and quirks such as the FC3 Russian СНП auto-lock at 85 % Rmax, the MiG-29S two-target СНП2 R-77 shot, Phoenix launch modes on the F-14B, and no multi-target TWS on the M-2000C.
  • Jamming: the jam symbol on your radar, your burn-through range, which missiles can home on jam, and whether you have a jammer of your own (the J-11A has none).
  • IFF: automatic on the F-15C and the Su-27 family; an interrogation elsewhere (Viper TMS Left, Hornet on designate, F-14 and JF-17 I, M-2000C S).
  • Datalink: Link 16 on the Hornet and Viper, Link 4 on the F-14, the JF-17 link, the AWACS picture on the FC3 Russian jets, none on the F-15C and M-2000C.
  • RWR: SPO-15 lamp panel on Russian jets, the round scope on Western jets (ALR-67, ALR-56M, ALR-69 on the A-10C II, ...), each with its own symbols.
  • Keys: FC3 keyboard defaults, or HOTAS function names on full-fidelity modules.
  • Weapons: each jet's loadout, with launch-zone numbers from DCS.
  • 3D model: every jet has its own exterior model, built with the same Blender pipeline.

Want another jet?

Adding an aircraft is a well-defined task: data, bindings, RWR symbols, a model and per-jet radar rules. See Contributing and the "Add a jet" section of AGENTS.md, then open an issue with the new-jet label so others can join in.
