On a separate note, in EXP mode the radar still maps all ahead. Should’t there be a doppler blind sector in front, as shown in Wag’s video 3 years ago? Also in that video he was at just 10 nm from the target. That is almost right overhead, well within potential threats. Anything further than 10+ nm the radar could hardly map out any useful sight. Much prefer the F15E radar, which can map even small target out to 20+ nm.

I use the TMS switch in all trimmings, as it is more reachable, while the conventional trim hat I use it for POV look-around. Wish it has the sensitivity setting like that in the MSFS. Or perhaps DCS could have made it in finer step for each push.

Okay roger that, will try it. But I hope it won't affect the slew rate in other sensors too much.

Thanks much folks. I was under impression the GPS/INS in F16 is similar to the EGI in the F15E, which gives exact location plotting. That being the case, does it mean for JDAMs they would all hit a little off from targets too? Or they should be spot-on since they are guided via satellite GPS?

Just cannot quite get the lateral left / right trim right (like in the A10C and F5E) when carrying asymmetrical loadout, is it too sensitive? Also, the targeting pod seems to create a lot of drag to the right during takeoff and landing. Is that correct?

Was trying to do CCRP bombing via the HUD but found adjusting the HUD cursor to be overly sensitive, jumping all over the place even with just slight cursor movement. Is this supposed to be like this? I am using Warthog HOTAS.

I created a mark point for a target, came in using CCRP high drag bombs, only to find the mark point to be a little off from the actual target. This happened at Sinai map. Anyone else noticed this before? Is it a map coordinate issue, or the F16 mark point issue?

Ok thanks folks.

In the cockpit view.

Where is the pilot’s head? I saw on youtube the head supposed to load, but i do not see it loading.

This has been a known bug for a long, long, long, time in many various maps, especially for the A10C. Why is it that ED continues to ignore this serious and frustrating issue for such longest time ??

Thanks for the pointer Rick.

As said in title, is there a table listing the above info … ILS, TACAN, Runway details, etc. Would make the flying experience a lot more complete in this new map.

The pitch up in the F15E happens rarely and unpredictably, but the A10 one has been widely reported over the years and can be found online. By the way, there is a setting under Special that says something about turning on or off force sensing trim setting. It is on by default, i just turned it off now. Could that be a cause? What does it do? I had unknowningly had that turned on all those time with no issue, until only very recently that the pitch up started happening.

This eagle has been my all time *favorite*, just sad that development has to stop. What are the major features / systems that were supposed to be in the development pipeline, but have since went cold? What are the top priority items that you would have liked to see fixed or implemented ?

Already checked, no double binding. Been flying the eagle the whole year but inly just encountered this. The other aircraft with uncommanded pitch up is the A10, but that is a well known bug that went unfixed for all these years despite having been flagged up by many users over the years. For that the pitch up only happens mostly just when the A10 crosses the runway threshold during landing.

Absolutely positive no double binding. Nothing has changed all this while.

Been flying the eagle for a long while now with no issue, but i just encountered a sudden pitch up when on long final to land at Mariana map. The neutral position of stick sudden showed an extreme pull back resulting in an extreme nose-up, as if there was a max up trim. Pressing and holding down trim did nothing. I had to press and hold the Trim For Takeoff button for a period to re-centralise the stick for proper control. Had never encountered this issue before. Happened in a few flights, all done on Mariana map, at different locations. Anyone else seen this before?

Thanks for the link Default774

I should add that the only DCS add-on that does not show a pitch up when leveling from a turn is the MB-339, another of my favorite. Very well modelled. Which is why I was quite puzzled that real world jets seem to level off without pitching up, seemingly effortlessly. Along that same line of reasoning, one would expect the MB-339 to exhibit the same behaviour, but then that model doesn’t.

Just got back to flying the F16 again, after owning it since 2016 ! Am loving the new handling. Strange though, I fly with Warthog TM and found that with Force gradient ON at default full value settings, the jet control feels a lot more stable, yet fast if I wanted it (Zero curve setting). Whereas with that option off, some curve setting would be needed if control is to be precise enough. So which is right? ON or OFF for force gradient for a non FFB joystick.

I was thinking maybe upon leveling at 1g perhaps the follow-on fast buildup of speed might have created that bit of extra lift effecting the nose up.

I did ensure stick back pressure is neutralised when rolling back to level. Just can’t quite level off without pitching up. Anyone managed to do it?

In most fighters in DCS including F16, when rolling out from a constant altitude turn into level flight, the plane always ended up nose up between 5 to 10 degrees. Is this normal? In real world jets seen online, they all seem to roll out neatly without pitching the nose up. While in simulator we can exert a slight pitch down when leveling off, but the result isn’t always pretty. Is it easier to do in the real jets?

Following up on this post, may we know will we be getting an amended depression table in the manual ? Or a listing over here in this forum ? Thanks.
