I found proof that it was It was used on USAF F16C block 50s. SOme claimed this wasnt used for a Circa 2007 Viper This is a F16C block 50 #91-0353 from Shaw Air force base in 2007. 77th Fighter Squadron. https://www.f-16.net/g3/f-16-photos/album38/album64/91-0353_001 F16C block 50 # 94-041 77th FS Red flag 2009. F16C block 50 #91-0345 from the 77th FS Red Flag mission at Nellis AFB on July 21st, 2010 https://www.f-16.net/g3/f-16-photos/album38/album64/91-0345_002

I want to see that ED pickup the Model F4E block 53 Belsimtek was supposed do at some point.

yeah im hoping ED can make time to restart the F4E project that Belsimtek was doing. If anyone remembers It was going to be a block 53, a late life model circa 1980s with ARN101/DMAS modification and ability to mount the Pave Tack targeting pod.

I mean Zeus Does cite a newer documentation..... but the way it seems So with newer software suites in like post 2011? harriers? they dumbed down the features and handicapped things for pilots? dunno why other aircraft dont have these same limitations

for an attack copter would like to see a AH-1W Super Cobra But at the same time albeit utility helicopter roles being niche it would be nice if there was something more modern ( and with better lift capacity) than a UH1H to work with. like something from the UH60 blackhawk family.

Yeah disappointed lack of tad features has no been addressed since a10c 1.0 Not having features that other fighters have is disappointing that it was not addressed in a10c 2.0

Indeed disappointing that no tad updates Bing done because even dcs a10c 1.0 was never complete with TAD features it was supposed to have. And yet for me having a more fleshed out tad was something I was hoping for for dcs a10c 2.0 So yeah somewhat disappointed. Even having pre planned sam threats 8s too much to ask, which is something the f16 and f18 have never minding the fact thet their datalinks show air threats as well.

Indeed the f16 and f18 have pre planned sam threat labels ( datalink threats of a2a contacts aside with link 16.) But sadl should be able to get a2a contacts via a gateway connection. ( ie through a cc aircraft like an e3)

yea im curious why this wont be when Ah64D is supposed to get multiple map modes " Chart Satellite and moving maps via TSD? ( as per wags video) why cant this tech be applied to Hornet, When TAMMAC is supposed have multiple map types? and as other pointed out the other map modes from editor/F10 map would go along ways to replicating this

wags mentions options for 3 map types, Chart map, satellite, and digital moving map..... SO maybe we can get TAMMAC for the F/A18C which has similar additional options too?

Nicholas Cage is a national treasure

yea the new Nightvision/ FLIR rendering engine was supposed to have come with the F/A18's ATFLIR....

what about F14B(U)? supplemental manual Any issues with getting that unclassified too?

i personally have a checklist to have a multirole fighter and not a pure A2A only fighter. Should that be a problem? considering the UK got that capability in 2008, and then it being available to other nations via SRP 4.3 in 2010? Whereas it until all the way until 2017 for the Luftwaffe to have same capability of a TGP and laser guided bombs with newer P1E series software suites in tranche 2 fighters?

Will germany be adopting EF's with Pirate at some point? Or are thse examples just luftwaffe test/evaluation aircraft?

I think the fudging happens in modern aircraft in part also because things become blurred when certain capabilities or features are added or enhanced purely via software updates, and not via physical airframe or avionics modification.

i mean to a certain extent this can true in American aircraft. not just software but certain avionics capabilties that require hardware or equipment replacement, which are not block specific. For example A block 2 series super Hornet Lot 26-27 early in thier service life would still have APG73 radar, but down the line were retrofitted with APG79 AESA radar versus later batches that came out of the factory with them. There would probably be some other features that might make it on but i can't recall would have to look at T.O to see what was retrofitted to older models versus which newer production models. or for example A block 1 Lot 25 Super Hornet would lack APG79 AESA radar even into present day and some other avionics, but otherwise still have more modern software update for sake of commonality minus some additional avionics or hardware changes, depending on the timeframe relative to block 2's.

thanks to a vocal minority muddying the waters and the developers ultimately submitting to demands like with 4 harms/ 6 mav thing even though it has been determined to not be a thing IRL from those who work on the things. Just means not every aircraft is up to same standard, that you have a mixed fleet of various software suites or fleet with older models of aircraft doesn't mean those features don't exist at that particular time, or they all dont get supplied with the same weapons. Again this a different matter. that would be like not supplying ATFLIR's to a circa 2005ish hornet just because they were not issued in large enough quantities at that particular timeframe due to slow production rollouts and prioritized for SH fleets instead. Bu thats an issue of supply not of the capability not being integrated or present. yup this is what im talking about

Im not worried by exact aircraft serial number. Ie if we have a F16C block 50 viper within a certain time frame then we have good idea of what features were standard. It not expected to be exact representation of 1 serial number specific aircraft. Would this not be more or less the same For Eurofighter tranches? Or are they really that franken that where capabilities of Tranch 1 and Tranche 2 series blocks etc have become so overlapped over time IRL it doesn't matter?

So in other words they are going to likely do something of a franken tranche with mix mash of features? rather than doing an earlier time specific version, because they want to squeeze in as much features as possible from newer models, but dont have enough information to properly model a newer tranche specific aircraft?

but which tranche? I thought German Tranche 1's didnt have those, that it was the RAF that had implemented air to surface first in like 2008 on tranche 1 block 5's whereas at the time Luftwaffe did not? Or are we getting a later versions? Or could did the Luftwaffe Tranche 1's get A/G but simply at a later date? Or is it simply that the UK added larger variety of A/G munitions for later models compared to the Luftwaffe?

yea id hope to have the Uk variant just so we can get some form of A/G capability TGP, general purpose bombs, and laser guided bombs

i recall that Truegrit before teaming with heatblur said they would do other nations EF's at some point. a Uk tranche 1 block 5 does have some degree of A/G capability. IIRC it was general purpose bombs and laser guided. Its only the Luftwaffe version that was a2a only

Not that i am in a rush to jump from win 10 to 11. But from whati read intel 8th generation or newer CPU's have tpm that should be compatible with windows 11, even if most MOBO's don't

He has a point. the ALR 67 ECP 510 ( aka ALR 67 V2) is what he described is that the INS integration. should basically work with the RWR, change the direction of the threats as you move your aircraft, but right now sometimes you can loose RWR contacts if you happen to turn at an angle where your RWR sensor is out of the fov of a radar threat. A 2005 era hornet would be using ALR 67 V2. The AV8B has this feature. right now the Hornet ALR 67 behaves more like a pre ecp510.
