I added this to the F-5E and using a SEA repaint, have made a pseudo F-5C. But the probe is on the incorrect side. Could the 3D file be mirrored for the other side? Even without, it adds some Vietnam vibes.

Yes

Here ya go. Enjoy as just a visual for now. Hoping once or if it becomes operational, maybe we can get it working. F-16C.lua

It can also be used during AAR with the boom operator, after contact is made.

Got it to load. Centerline and Stns 3 & 7. Thanks!

Or the HH-3 Jolly Green Giant

I try not to stare... It's weird

I'm a tanker guy. The holes all look the same to me

So you're basing your entire argument on it's performance and capability in the BFM realm, on an airshow performance? LMAO. Ok, I see and understand how your mod will be. Done trying to have a conversation with a kid.

Aggressor Vipers (both USN and USAF) often carry the ALQ-188 and -167 ECM pods during missions. Has anyone made one and made it available in DCS? Although ECM wouldnt be functional, the look of it mounted would add some visual realism. Thanks!

I'm looking forward to the T-38 mod. I routinely use the A-4E, OV-10, F-4C/D and F-16I Sufa. I used to use the A-29B, but it keeps getting broken by each update. So, I'm interested in mods, as they add aircraft that ED can't or won't. The F-35 is a very ambitious project to bring to DCS, hence my interest in this thread. To be done right, it needs SMEs to validate how it flies and integrates with the pilot. Unless you're just looking for a heavy F-16 with a new 3D model replacement. As for the F-35 record. Yes, it's a good platform. The sensor suite is stunning and allows for unprecedented SA for the pilot. In a turn fight, a F-16 can and will beat it. Even a Super Hornet. Wait for the Typhoon. It's strengths are that it can be pretty invisible and shoot first before detection. After that, it can be beat. Especially by a F-22. In November, I personally listened to the fight between 6 VFC-12 Supers, crush some F-35s in under 5 minutes. Lastly, the F-22 has a 241:2 kill ratio in it's best RF performance.

So you're a fact by internet type of... um, person. Ok. Have fun with your F-35-ish mod.

Don't get so worked up. I'm just asking legitimate questions so we can know what to expect. I don't use the Grinnelli F-22 mod, tbh. But back to the F-35 mod, it sounds like it'll be more "artistic license", than factual. And the -35 being better than the F-22? Based on what argument? Two completely different missions and designs that are decades apart.

Are you in any way affiliated with the F-35 program? So you'd be able to get some start on an FM? Or plan on just making something up?

How are you planning on validating the FM, displays, sensors and weapon functionality? EVERYTHING about this jet is classified,
