A French developer that did a M2000 and a Rafale for FSX got sued by Dassault and had to remove his file from the interwebz a few years ago.
So let's be fortunate we have our 2000.
Not an expert but if a HTS can be fitted on any F16 then it expands the realm of possibilities on a lot of variants . You can also use the Harm as a sensor before engaging but it's a pain compared to Using it with HTS.
The thing is lots of people want a F16 but among those not everyone wants the same variant. And I believe an early model without all the bells and whistles would receive a rather cold welcome from the community.
I think that with the f18 coming up, I'd rather have a Russian airplane. We are getting at least 4 western aircrafts (2000, viggen, f18, f14 ) let's get something Russian for once
Do as you want, I'm not interested enough to pay for a F16 to use for the online free for all scene of DCS atm. Don't get me wrong I play and enjoy DCS but I'm having more fun with the 21
Is anyone looking at the missiles issues at all?
M2000 vs mig 21 is a rape fest atm, I like to think I'm good with the mig but it doesn't explain it all...
Ok thanks for the tips.
I'm getting interested in the matter a few years too late sadly. We had access to lots of publications in Engineering School when doing the master thesis and never thought to check such subjects. Subscription is well cancelled now I'm afraid.
There was some "wild" papers though, remember one about seagull soaring on waves to cross long oceanic distance, pretty unexpected subject but was a nice read from what i can remember.
