A modding group calling themselves SkyForge Studios has announced on the DCS World forums their intention and initial progress on building a SEPECAT Jaguar GR.1A. Let’s have a look!

Modded Jaguar

We’ve been talking quite a bit about the Jaguar recently with AzurPoly’s in-development payware project for MSFS taking shape and moving towards completion recently. Over on the DCS World side of things there haven’t been any officially announced payware modules, however, SkyForge Studios has taken it upon themselves to develop a mod for the sim.

The team are intending to do a RAF GR.1A and are intending to build the mod as a standalone product rather than having it based on a Flaming Cliffs series of aircraft as some mod teams have done. They also intend to build a 3D model and cockpit and make use of an EFM flight model.

Some DCS World mods are good for a bit of fun while others are more serious freeware efforts. The A-4 Skyraider community project, for example, remains a gold standard among DCS projects. We’ll have to see how this project pans out and what we may see from this group as it evolves.

The announcement thread is available here which also contains a link to the mod team’s Discord.

    I want to believe, but I’ve been burned too many times by splashy DCS mod “announcements” just like this showing a couple of nice 3D renders, then poof, the team disappears. Hopefully this is an exception. I wish most modders would wait until they had something a little closer to release before getting everyone’s hopes up, though.

    1. Like a lot of mods, this one is just starting out. Realistically, if they manage to do something you can maybe expect it to come in a couple of years. Still interesting to note and track.

  2. I sat in one many moons ago. There is something a bit more satisfying about the older aircraft; they feel less like a console game and more Right Stuff.

    BTW, is that an A-1 Skyraider or an A-4 Skyhawk mod? I have latter but only heard rumours about the former.

    1. Oh dear… A-4 Skyhawk. No idea why I wrote Skyraider. 😅

      1. I think we can collectively let you off…

        But an A-1 would be fricking awesome!

      2. Oh thank you! 😊

        A-1 is a very cool airplane. There’s a payware one in development though we haven’t heard much about it for a while now.
