... so you can imagine any kind of possible options. We could also request options to hear the birds, the trucks, the sea waves, the bullets hinting objects, holywoodian explosions ... etc ... Immersion is something extremely subjective (and quite often away from hardcore realism) ... it is impossible to please everyone. You ask about air-brake. Answer is: not audible, sometimes, with no physiological feedback. This is factual. Speaking about afterburner option is a matter of opinions. It is not factual and is another discussion. Kind regards.
-
Depends. High speed/low altitude/high air density, yes. Clearly. Low speed/high altitude/low air density ... almost not or even not at all. +/- same storry about afterburners.
-
What we hear in the video before JFS is the altimeter vibrator.
-
On AlphaJet, M2000, MF1, Jaguar, C-160 and A400M, airbrake makes no audible sounds in cockpit. On F-16 I can only guess and trust my F-16 drivers friends who tells me that it is the same.
-
What you hear in the videos are not the fuel pumps.
-
Coordinates, ok but do you set the elevation?
-
Hi! TOS is Time Over Steerpoint. Regards.
-
It is indeed suspended as you mention (should be).
-
CAT III do absolutely not protect from over G. As said above, it is only to prevent departure by limiting AoA.
-
Hi! Pilots feels the Gs but not AoA (except maybe thought an indirect effect which is turbulent airflow that you can hear in game). Besides, one can perfectly read the AoA in the HUD. It is the angle between gun cross and FPM. Regards.
-
"it depends" situation" This is indeed very true and not only for the F-16. For instanse ... some C-130 can carry and drop GBU-12s.

Landing with stores, fuel tanks, and CAT III configuration
Dee-Jay replied to Al-Azraq's topic in DCS: F-16C Viper
More precisely, landing gear handle ... and/or Manual Flap extend. -
My fault, I thought we were speaking about classic CBUs. I agree, with an IMU/GPS wind can be roughly calculated. However, transmitting wind data yep, but data must to be known prior to the flight and inserted manually (if this is existing?) A/C can maybe transmit the wind but only the one he knows which an instantaneous average wind on current position. A/C can't predict the wind at different altitude nor different locations (unless maybe fed manually through an interface that I don't know on F-16) ...
-
Hi! How the wind is known/measured by the system at burst height/altitude to be compensated?
-
Would love to see the airspeed indicator showing the airspeed. (Wind not taken in account)

correct as is Viper INS Alignment stuck at 10
Dee-Jay replied to creme_fraiche's topic in Bugs and Problems
Hi! You mean "IRS + GPS" ? AFAIK, all US F-16 has been equipped with ring laser gyro (RLG) from the Blk30/32 standard. Unless I am wrong, all variants above the 30/32 are equipped with RLG INU. An RLG INU is called IRS (Inertial Reference System), not INS which are mechanical gyros, not laser gyros. Same functions are provided, but some details are basically different. An IRS has an much less internal drift is than a INS, and some stuff are different on align init. In manuals and panels, acronyms has never been updated. As you said above, most of military IRS are now hybridized with GPS, some are embedded (EGI), the most modern and performant inertial system is now the HRG (Hemispherical Resonator Gyro) we have on Rafale (on F-35?). Regards. -
Procedures indicates POWER IDLE until beginning of effective recovery. Full power could retard the recovery and/or induce a compressor stall.
-
A stall is not a problem of trust. It is a problem of AoA. When your flight control are ineffective, thrust won't help. It can even be worse in some case preventing to put nose down. Only solution is the procedure using MPO. Air-brakes out and or lowering the landing can help but better stick to the published procedure (Google & YouTube: "F-16 Falcon deep stall recovery").

What is the correct settings for perfect carpet bombing?
Dee-Jay replied to ebabil's topic in DCS: F-16C Viper
I'll have to check it again, but AFAIK, only one CBU can (should) be mounted on internal pylon, or even not a single one (not speaking about MK20) ... -

Dee-Jay replied to ebabil's topic in DCS: F-16C Viper
10 CBU-97?! How possible? F-16 can't carry/drop 10 CBUs! (A flight of two ship maybe). -
Such box on the HUD do not exist. Where have you seen this?
-
Absolutely. Can you image having a 10m accuracy on goniometic shots even by using three or more HTS!?! Even coordinates on TGP are sometimes not precise enough for GPS weapon targeting (bad telemetry, elevation accuracy, angle ... etc ...)
