Don't even try it.

DCS tries to push it as modern as military contracts can.

There is virtually no interest in making another simulator brand, apparently. They're working in military-grade simulators, Lock On (2.0, just to finish it) and, the most expected, future DCS titles (currently DCS: A-10C).

As well as Maddox Games area is around the middle of 20th century, Eagle Dynamics plays it right in late 90's and specially 21st century air warfare, mainly without a fixed scenario, only proposed situations. This gives more possibilities if your creative.

Asking them to develop a whole new sim on the 70's is just non-sense. Bangladesh just isn't a very interesting war in terms of air combat, or at least not as interesting as having modern NATO & Russian military equipment put against each other. Maybe (and just maybe) if it involved a modern engagement of those countries, things would get more interesting, and it would involve many planes seen in DCS & Lock On.

This would simulate quite an interesting conflict, something really worth a simulator (still, there are still many things to come before a new scenario in DCS).

Pakistan has, in active service: F-16 (A/B, AM/BM & C/D being delivered), Mirage III & 5, F-7s, A-5s and Erieyes (plus transports, trainers and transport helicopters).

Seeing these aircraft meeting India's MiG-21 Bisons, MiG-27UPG, MiG-29S/SMT, Su-20MKI, Mirage 2000H, Jaguars, A-50s and Mi-25/35 (and transports & trainers) would be some fun, for sure.

But still, it's always better to simulate NATO vs. Russia, specially because all (or at least most) of the equipment India & Pakistan has was bought from either a NATO member or Russia (except for a few, these being either Chinese, home-built or imported from non-NATO countries).
