  1. Viper Pilot is a fantastic book that tells you about the actual lifestyle of an F-16 pilot through the eyes of one. While it is filled with some technical information about operating the F-16, it is mostly "seen" through the lens of someone who already understands the systems and is just employing them (the Pilot).

     

    If you want to understand the most important part of any aircraft (the pilot), and the cultural and lifestyle of fighter pilots of the time period (late 80s-2000's), then Viper Pilot is a must-have. If you want a technical book, and you don't care about the above information then get the Modern Viper Guide 2nd Edition.

     

    Viper Pilot is a great book, people who think it's "trash" must not just care about the story of what it's actually like to be a fighter pilot. Of course, that's fine, but the book is definitely not bad at all because it's not what certain people are looking for.

  2. Heatblur have expressed intrest to, in their words, "continue the tomcat journey", and that might mean they will be making a late model B with new HUD and displays etc, or maybe a D. However nothing is certain or promised, they have only expressed interest in doing so.

     

    I believe it was said somewhere that they wouldn't do a late B model because they might as well just go do a D model at the point. The upgraded B's saw a lot of action in a very short amount of time, but for scenario wise it makes much more sense to come out with the D. Also be better for sales.

  3. So why they don't model full fidelity C or A one seater instead?

     

    Because they want the E model, that simple. The E model has more export success, and therefore most likely to have more sales there.

     

    What has the A & C done since 1999....??? Certainly nothing involved in combat! Which is the total opposite of the E model!

  4. Unfortunate because of the angle of the camera is hard to tell which F-16 these are. They appear to be F-16C block 50 from 35 Fighter Wing (either 13­th or 14th Fighter Squadron). Note how some aircraft ACES seat will have the folding pitot tube and some don't.

     

    Mostly 14th Fighter Squadron Block 50s

  5. Due to changes in DCS, the latest versions of Tacview aren't compatible with 1.2.16 and will cause DCS to fail.

     

    Make sure to remove it from

    Ok dug through my folder and only found the first Export.lua folder. Could not find the rest. Still crashes :helpsmilie:

  6. A lot of people were pushing them to release the Harrier last year even the Mirage war far from being completed. Today, the Harrier pilots seem to be in the same spot as the Mirage pilots felt when Razbam announced their next module.

     

    That's a nonsense to ask for more planes every other day when the ones we actually have are still a work in progress and won't be finished for a long time (the Mirage is a 3+ years product, remember ?). I wish, we, as customers, were more responsible regarding our constant need for something new and shiny ; we could at least relieve a bit of pressure from dev teams who feel obligated to deliver to maintain the "hype".

     

    As a Mirage module owner, I did not feel any emptiness when the Harrier was announced. This whole paragraph is just....ugh

  7. Understand the version is unsupported. Been trying to revert back to the last version of 1.2 so I can be able to play the game without crashing every 10 minutes. Used the guide, downloaded the files and reverted to last 1.2 version. Using two different start up methods I get to the loading screen before the game closes at 10% loading, or I get the more common blue screen of nothingness. Dug around across google, found very little solid answers. Seems to be a problem that just I am having, even though this is my third time trying to revert to 1.2 to get the game to work

     

    Really frustrated as I just want to be able to play the game I love so much! :helpsmilie:

     

    Sorry if this wasn't the proper place to post this, couldn't find any where else.
