  1. Where did I posted it was out of control or that I know anything about the aircraft parameters? I just posted a interesting video on a related thread. You can contact the author if you need further info. The only two thing I mention: It looks like a A model ( looking at other video on the channel it appears to be either from Norway or the Netherlands.) And I mention having problems watching the video. All other information is presume by you not me. You are correct we have no info on the aircraft, no configuration, don't know the intention of the pilot nor the reason he was maneuvering like he did.
  2. Well I have stand next to and under the F-16C (Block 25,30,40,42) while doing leak checks in RL and on some days I could not see the flame nether.
  3. Not sure, RL aircraft manuals like the -34 does not specify. The radars are label as block 40 or block 50, it does not tell you APG versions. Same way the pods are refer to as LANTIRN, or LITENING, etc. It does not say AAQ-28 ver X. It will specify OFP versions or some versions of the pod like LITENING Basic, Litening PNP VCR, etc. One of many reason why a outdated manual does not say much about current capabilities. Vampyr, I was just adding additional info to the conversation, hoping to convey that without appearing as I am trying to correct you which is the way I tent to come across the way that I write, not intentionally.
  4. AFAIK, yes, correct. No differences in factory specs. So for example: 92-3915 was the same from the factory even tho it is now part of the ANG Always a love hate relationship with you aircraft. I remember mine fondly, yet remember cursing at them regularly while working on them. Many smack me around and beat me up, I got the scars to prove it.
  5. Factory specs? No differences. AFAIK, all ANG block 50 where used USAF F-16. ANG did receive new built block 50. Just messing around, :D :smartass: It looks like only 3 Block 50 F-16C where ordered in 1998 for the USAF. 98-0003, 98-0004, and 98-0005 96-0080 could be the only one delivered to the USAF in 1998, not sure.
  6. There are always going to be some differences. Each aircraft is updated at a time. Some units might have X amount of aircraft updated to a certain level while the rest wait for Phase time or down time to undergo updates. F-16 in general is in a constant state of upgrades/updates. General speaking, right now, today 22 October 2019, most ANG and USAF F-16C block 50 should be relatively similar.
  7. First is an A model with PW-220/220E, Block 50 with GE-129 and the last one is Block 40 with GE-100
  8. A model, not sure if from Norway or the Netherlands. Not sure why but this video play bad in my PC, it just keeps stopping. I can play 4k videos without issue.
  9. Caucasus Map single player TGP pylon is to long, see attached screenshot Door border in yellow is the access to the connector for the pod Doors border in green is where the pod suspension bolts are (pod get secured to the pylon by nuts) Pylon is also blocking door 3306, the pod would prevent this door from opening all the way, but not the pylon First reference photo, If I find additional photos will add them here. https://k60.kn3.net/taringa/4/C/6/B/2/9/asesino123321/90B.jpg Additionally, not sure if this helps: AAQ-28 is 87 inches long and 16 inches in diameter.
  10. Have you tried Area track? F-117 uses a whole different system and since the pilot is not flying the aircraft, it is easier for them to concentrate on controlling the Downward Looking Infrared (DLIR) Edit: Just tried in ver 2.5.5.38140, "area track" stayed on the spot until impact. Could be a control set up issue. How are you controlling the pod?
  11. Here is a 360° video, you can pan the camera around and see the pilot throttle movements.
  12. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=114030
  13. 1F-16CM-1-2 1F-16CM-34-1-1-1 Also, CAT III is recommended during some emergencies, DFLCS faults and on some aircraft damaged, it is not just weapons or loading specific.
  14. For what is worth, your showing a block 30 cockpit to prove what a block 50 cockpit should do. Do they even use the same Color MFD?
  15. lol, thanks for posting this. I thoughtful I was the only one. How about the spider guard going down even tho you know it can't unless the hooks move. Not sure why this trigger me.
  16. Block 50, I don't see why anyone would try. Other blocks for testing, yes. At one point they even tried a J-79 on one A model.
  17. Not sure if this can help. These are several AVTR recording while doing testing, you can hear the pilot talking to himself about going up and down with the movement of the nose. Just keep in mind this are test aircraft with specific configuration to test the flight control and may not represent operational F-16 flight control behavior. But the video still show proper recovery procedures. First one is at 6:21, 7:15 is the second example, 8:22: this one seem severe, the pilot had to use the anti spin chute. https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3775880&postcount=1143
  18. That website does not properly describe the USAF F-16C block 50 MAN RNG/UNCAGE HOTAS. Not sure what version of the Operational Flight Program (OFP, for aircraft with an MMC) or System Capabilities Upgrade (SCU, for aircraft with General Avionics Computer or GAC) may use that versions. From OFP 3.4 to 5.1, it should be like this, but I do not know to which specific version or if it is the same for SCU. Also, I do not know if it relates to DCS version, this may not have any relevance. Use of the MAN RNG/UNCAGE control is mode dependent and serves several purposes. MAN RNG/UNCAGE is actually a combination of two separate control types. The UNCAGE switch is activated by depressing and releasing the MAN RNG knob. - The MAN RNG control has no effect on the EEGS funnel. - Depressing the UNCAGE switch uncages the selected AIM-9 seeker head. Once the selected AIM-9L/M or AIM-9X has been commanded, indications of missile seeker LOS and radar LOS correlation are generated in the HUD. During BORE or no lock launch conditions of the AIM-120, the UNCAGE switch and WPN REL button are depressed at the same time in order to fire the selected missile. - The control is also used in air-to-ground, ground map modes to vary the radar gain. Rotating the knob clockwise increases the radar gain. The gain effect of the knob is to add or subtract from the base value set by the gain rocker switch on the MFD. In GMT and DBS modes, moving the knob adds or subtracts from the base map gain value set by the rocker switch on the MFD. In GMT, this knob controls gain of moving target radar returns. - The UNCAGE switch is used to cage/uncage missiles, remove the AGM-65 dome cover, and provide AGM-65 weapon video. The UNCAGE switch is depressed to provide AGM-65 video before the NOT TIMED OUT message is blanked. - If an AGM-88 is selected and a threat has been handed off, within the first 5 seconds of hand-off, UNCAGE will step the target isolate option independent of the current SOI. - With Sniper as the SOI, pressing of the MAN RNG/UNCAGE switch will enter Laser Spot Track (LST) mode. LST can be exited the same way. - Depressing and releasing (D&R) the CAGE/UNCAGE switch twice within one second with an AIM-9X selected will enter Helmetless High Off-Boresight (HHOBS). The sequence must begin with the AIM-9X UNCAGED, then CAGE/UNCAGE within 1 second). - Depresses and releases the CAGE/UNCAGE switch a single time will exit HHOBS. It may also be exited by cycling the MASTER ARM switch to OFF, stepping the missile station, or selecting another missile type. - Magnification (FLIR and TV) can be varied by rotating the MAN RNG/UNCAGE knob on the throttle. Note that changes in the knob position are sent to the pod only when SOI is on the TGP. Rotating the knob with SOI elsewhere has no effect on the pod’s variable zoom. However, when SOI is placed back on the TGP, the current knob position is sent to the pod and the variable zoom value is updated accordingly.
  19. It would depend on a Squadron at a specific time. For example; let say a unit is going to deploy to X country and perform combat air patrols, that unit would intensify training in those missions prior to that deploy to increase proficiency. That same unit come back to Home station and a few week later needs too deploy to do CAS, then they will increases training of that mission.
