Just yesterday Deka Ironwork Simulation posted on Facebook some news about a project of theirs. They Announced that DCS FC3 will be updated soon with a "new" plane: the J-11A. The reason I say it's "new" is because they're basically taking the Su-27 that's in FC3 already and making a few tweaks to the model to allow it to carry R-77 missiles (currently only the Mig-29S can carry those in DCS) and they will give the "new" plane anti-collision lights similar to the F-15C.
They did admit that they don't have the resources to make a completely new cockpit but are looking toward trying in the future. Since Deka is a new company that's just starting out on DCS and they are busy with the JF-17 module they are making I'm willing to give them a pass on that one. It would be nice to have an accurate cockpit but they have a lot on their plate right now, and I'm sure most reasonable people would be understanding about that.
I'm looking forward to seeing some Chinese planes making a debut to DCS. China is fast becoming an air power so it makes sense they would be represented in DCS.
This is a very busy time for DCS it seems. The arrival of the F/A-18C is fast approaching, the Persian Gulf map is now on Pre-purchase, the F-14 will be out later this year, and now we're getting our first Chinese plane in DCS via an update in the coming week or so. This is all very exciting. I hope you all enjoy the new planes and map coming out.
