DCS World community member, known as VinntoreZ on the forums, has just released the Su-22M4 mod for DCS World. The project has been in the works for almost a year now and is available for download. Let’s have a look.

Su-22M4 mod releases

Sukhoi’s Su-17 is a variable geometry fighter-bomber that was developed into several variants including the Su-22. The type’s widespread use in Soviet aligned countries during the height of the Cold War, its rugged looks and variable geometry wings make it into a fascinating airplane.

The mod has been in development for quite some time and much of the work has been shared by frequent posts on the DCS World forum. The aircraft has a clickable cockpit and shares quite a bit with the Su-25A from Flaming Cliffs. Due to some of the quirks in the way that the mod works, you need to spawn in a Su-25 before carrying on with your Su-22 flight.

The type has mostly unguided weapons but does work with the Kh-29 missile family as well.

If you’re interested in checking it out, the aircraft is available here in the User Files section. Links to the manual and other information are also available there.
