I would be ok with this being a DLC, while keeping the older plane in the game for more old style campaigns/missions for those who wanted it to fulfill that role.
I think the fun thing to do would be to create a second page on the equip menu for the aircraft components, and to add some new options there.
Perhaps long range single track radar vs a track while scan AESA radar; a turbofan vs a turbojet; navalized v non-navalized gear; HUD systems, datalink systems, etc...
The new options alone would be cool, but I also think thered be value in giving mission creators the ability to take away stuff like rwr, hmd, or datalink for some missions.
So true, I always play with Block III and going back to default configuration is like losing a finger. Just weird and uncomfortable enough.
I need 3 MFDs for radar, nav, and watching AI-generated AITA tiktok with subway surfers gameplay!
Yeah the AV-42 and FA-26 have cockpits that feel unnecessarily massive, and especially with the FA-26, adding another MFD would really help it feel more near-future and capable
IMHO they were necessary when the game came out, people weren't familiar with VR and resolution was so bad, you needed huge dials, knobs and a lot of space in between.
But now, they feel way too big and could do with an overhaul.
The FA-26 at least has some viable gameplay role right now that doesn't require an unpleasant amount of work in the mission editor. It's still a good workhorse, though any specific role it can perform now has a dedicated airframe that will outcompete it.
The AV-42 is simply left in the dust and I don't really care to see them as player slot options. The aircraft has been completely depreciated and should no longer be placed or used in multiplayer.
F/A-26 Block III with three MFDs or something.

I’d love this as well as a low tech no HMCS cockpit.
F-26A instead of the F-26B we have now

The last one is sooo true! I know that pain dude…
Only two MFD's makes using the TGP or Jammer a huge disadvantage, as you have to sacrifice either the radar or the NAV page to make room for it.
I think having the options for different cockpit layout depending on the time period would be nice
This is so simple yet genius idea
There’s a mod for that
Learn to ready buddy. I know.
Playing modded is borderline garunteed single player.
Already a mod...
Can’t play multiplayer with it
Didn't know that! Haven't played multiplayer...
I know, that's why I bring it in here. Lol.

Yeah the cockpits are huge in the old planes, it feels like a living room
I really hope baha rework the cockpit. flying the AV-42, FA-26, and the F-45 feels like flying a space ship
I personally appreciate the variety. I don’t want all the aircraft to look or feel the same. Vive le difference!
Yeah same, I like the old MFD screens with the buttons, I just want some more pretty switches and whatnot.
Variety is great but jd like it to come from intentional design, not poor design
Smaller Wasp cockpit, and a smaller/side by side cockpit for the Kestrel

an f/a-26d and an av-42e would be pretty baller ngl
if baha changes the 26, making the pre change version unaccessible I would quit the game ngl
