Cool, Thanks for the answers Sir!

TWIMC, Will the Viggen be missing any weapons, systems, or other features upon release on the 27th? Also, what version/variant of DCS should we expect to get the release on the 27th(Alpha, Beta, 1.5 release)? One final question, especially for those of us who purchased via Heatblur: Will there be installation instructions available that explains how to associate the key with our account (probably through the DRM after a download through the updater forcing a viggen install?)?

The C-101 is gearing up for a rather massive update. See the https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=180409 thread on the big update that's coming. That should answer most questions. Following through the posts on that thread may even lead you to the new skin template. Hope that helps

I see it being my bread and butter weapon! There are several F99th missions that force pilots to fly low and under the radar, A munition that's meant to be released in this region and cluster release is perfect!

Just got a newsletter in my email. Only about a Bonus points sale, so no major news to discuss.

I am very glad to hear about the progress on this one.

https://github.com/jweisner/DCS-FAC/releases/tag/v1.5.1 Our very own Pb_Magnet's updated FAC script.

Nice find, those sure do look like BK90.

Sorry to double post, but attached is the F99th FAC script from the http://www.f99th.com website. It comes with the following instructions: 1. Download MIST and CTLD and install into your mission. 2. Edit the fac.lua script to reflect your mission settings. 3. Install fac.lua into your mission. fac.zip

Good evening. We use a modified version of the awesome CTLD script to accomplish this function. The ground FAC is made to an AIR FAC via a script our member made up. I'm not sure if it's shared on here, but the mission file is embedded in every multiplayer track file you have, so you should have a copy of it :)

It seems to have so many neat features that I didn't know about! The targeting computer sounds complex, yet practical for the mission.

Thanks so much for sharing another great Viggen video! The dedication to this beast is evident in the working navigation system!

What a beautiful machine! The shots of that After-burning engine were magnificent. I can't wait to perfect both landing methods shown here.

Profesional Flight Model is an Internal Eagle Dynamics thing. 3rd party devs only have access to EFM or External flight model, which is very good. The Mig 21 Flight model is fantastic, try landing it like a Simple Flight Model plane and pay the price :). Edit: Apparently my understanding is once again way off. This is all way to confusing, please see Sithspawn's post below. who the heck knows what is what around here.

Time off from work will be harder to come by in late January, so I'm a little sad that the release date is a month away. It is nice to have a date to look forward to though :). Good luck on this final stretch LN.

Sounds like a reasonable guess to me. I was hoping for something sooner, but any date to look forward to would be nice. LN, if you need a tester for the Viggen with an X52pro, I'm your guy :) I promise to fly her often and test every available munition :)

Wow that does look great! I can't wait to try some exciting and dangerous low level flying, peel up, then release one of these bad boys!:thumbup:

Fast Start-up The speed of this start up is impressive. It matches what some of the "viggenites" have thought us over the past few months in terms of doctrine. That navigation computer looks retro, and I can't wait to interact with it! :joystick: Thanks for sharing.

Well I feel horrible for posting that, the match was great and the flying most excellent. I have to say I am still very excited about this, and apologize for any pain my post has caused. Good luck, and I can't wait to see more / fly this one!

This. I, for one, am disappointed at the lack of information. I was excited moving into the "announcement week." I have no idea why they said so much then went quiet except for a few tiny posts. anybody on the LN team have an idea of when more info will be released?

The calm is difficult because us Viggen fans were expecting some system details over the weekend that didn't come. Also the tease of information that was supposed to be the "announcement week" kind of fizzled. It's just disappointing to make time to come here often and see nothing but Tomcat posts instead of wanted Viggen news and info. :cry:

I've never flown a real Mig-21, but I can say that it performs similar to the videos I've seen of it. I trust that LN has done their homework and research and have done as much as they can to produce an accurate simulation of expected normal flight regimes. This is the first module that I tried that has a "feel" to it and can even produce fun landings. The P-51 also has some "character" to its model, but I tried the Mig-21 first. No developer is perfect to everyone, but I'm a pretty happy customer at the moment.:smilewink:

I'll bet there are some Viggen fans out here just salivating while waiting for the 28th to roll around. I hope that It'll be view-able after the fact for those of us at work.

Just had a change to fly the 21 in DCS 2.0.4. It was a great experience, it didn't drop my frame rate like it used to. The Radar seemed to work (after a longer than normal warm up) and allowed me to acquire targets. I used the R3R to splash two of them, then switched to the R60m to finish a final target before taking a fun flight back to base. What a fun time. I think they have this thing getting polished quite well!!

Awesome Those looked so cool zooming across only a few feet off the water! Some poor ship is going to get it!
