  1. Depends on the Flight Control Computer modeled and its software. AFAIK, most Digital Flight Control Computer (DFLCC, block 40 and above) have several speed limits for different things.
  2. AFAIK, The APG-68V5 did not have terrain avoidance mode in the USAF F-16 block 50 circa 2007 after CCIP.
  3. There is no auto trim and no refueling rates in the real aircraft. Opening the IFR door switches to takeoff/landing gains, the FLCS pitch axis operates as a pitch rate command system until 10 degrees AOA and a blended pitch rate and AOA command system above 10 degrees AOA. Pitch trim in takeoff/landing gains behaves just like the stick. In takeoff/landing gains, maximum roll rate is fixed at approximately one-half the maximum roll rate available in cruise gains, regardless of AOA, airspeed, or horizontal tail deflection.
  4. AFAIK, only on the EHSI .
  5. With the aircraft in the air, press Air to ground mode. In DMT page or EHSD you can see "Code" next to multi function button 5. Press it and change the laser code. This will change on all systems including TGP and weapons. The laser code will reset back to 1111 on the ground.
  6. Guys, we all have derail this thread enough, non of this is related to DCS F-16, let go here https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=4034956&postcount=1360 to continue the conversation
  7. Bases on what since no block 70/72 has been built yet, so we do not know its equipment setup? Also taking in consideration older blocks could be upgraded to same capabilities. Beside the new block 70/72 having no airframe hours which will equate to longer service life in theory.
  8. Should be able to see it in your profile when you log into the DCS website https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/
  9. I hate videos, since they lack so much information. What information they lack? For context lets talk about that first. This video does not show the version of the F-16 or if it is an F-16 or not. If it is an F-16, we have no way of knowing what software version it has. We do not know what year was it recorded. The video was uploaded on 2015, but it could have been recorded in the late 1990 for all we know. Additionally, this does not show the HUD as the pilot sees it. Remember the AVTR or the DVR camera sits in front of the HUD and the symbology is super impose in the recording itself. So unless your are looking at video from a early block 5,10 or 15 (back then the camera looked through the HUD) your are not looking at the HUD. All that said for context, you can see the Radar altimeter here is at zero. Is that normal? I do not know. Does it relate to DCS F-16? I have not idea. Are there videos showing different information? Of course. Over 4k F-16, over 20 countries, numerous versions and subversions, constantly being modified and upgraded at different rates and times The point is: Just because in a specific version of the F-16, at a specific time, from a specific air force, the system works a certain way does not mean it works the same on others. In the end, If ED models it this way or another, it does not mean is wrong.
  10. CCIP upgrade is not directly related to tape or Operational Flight Program (OFP) USAF CCIP is Time Compliance Technical Order (TCTO) 1F-16–2221 And it can have OFP M3.4+ (TCTO 1F-16-2432), M4.2+ (TCTO 1F-16-2490), M4.3+ (TCTO 1F-16-2514) or M5.2+ (TCTO 1F-16-2570). Some CCIP manuals have all 4 OFP at the same time, like the June 2010 -34 with S5 and S6 supplements. So during that time period in the USAF, it will depend what TCTO where completed on a specific aircraft.
  11. Can you find the same info for a 2007 USAF F-16C after CCIP? If not, this will be great when they build a Belgian F-16A
  12. Like all F-16 upgrades and modification this is also be fill with confusion. F-16V will not only be newly built "block 70" but upgraded older blocks as well. ROCAF is calling their F-16A block 20 upgrade as F-16V.
  13. We would need to find out what versions of the F-16 software is used in the video to determine if it applies to DCS F-16.
  14. Depending on the version of the software, on this case, it appears when the pilot hold down the trigger, EEGS turn into Firing Evolution Display Set (FEDS). The FEDS provides scoring in level 2 only. The symbol consists of a series of dot pairs that are used to estimate whether the bullets at target range are falling behind the target (dots wider than wingspan), ahead of the target (dots narrower than wingspan), or hitting the target (dots equal to wingspan).
  15. What is plan for Greece F-16 https://www.dsca.mil/major-arms-sales/government-greece-upgrade-f-16-aircraft-f-16-block-v-configuration
  16. We will have to wait for one to be built. Until then we won't know what Bulgaria choose in term of engine, avionics package etc. This is what is plan https://www.dsca.mil/major-arms-sales/bulgaria-f-16cd-block-7072-aircraft-support
  17. Not sure If I am seeing what your seeing. On the video you posted, when the Enhance Envelope Gunsight (EEGS) disappear is because the pilot is holding down the trigger. Additionally, not knowing what version of the F-16 this is from and not knowing what Operational Flight Program (OFP) or System Capability Upgrade (SCU, for F-16 without an MMC) it is being used, will be impossible to know if this is relevant or not.
  18. No, They are different from each other and from USAF F-16C block 50 after CCIP. They all have similar but different capabilities. Weapons, Radars, ECM/RWR, cockpit lighting, landing gear, cockpit arrangement, etc. are different. Only USAF F-16 block 40/42/50/52 went through the CCIP update.
  19. Not needed in the RL aircraft unless there is icing conditions on the ground. The probe heat monitor monitors current flow to the pitot, fuselage air data, and AOA probes (total temperature probe current is not monitored). If the current flow decreases below a certain value, the monitor illuminates the PROBE HEAT caution light. The monitor operates anytime the aircraft is airborne, regardless of the PROBE HEAT switch position. The pitot, fuselage air data, AOA, and the total temperature probe heaters are on anytime the aircraft is airborne, regardless of the PROBE HEAT switch position.
  20. In the Real aircraft, it is often safer to shutdown the engine and jump out of the pit (egress) than to eject on the ground. The pilot on the chute can be drag to a structure by the wind, the canopy is heavy and it will damage anything it hits, seat can do the same. Not to mention most F-16 are indoors or under roofs when starting, so very bad to eject under dose. The seat can take between 0.45 to about 1.45 seconds for the pilot and seat separation (depending on the mode and other factors). A lot of things happens in that time
  21. This is a block 50 after an airshow, no weapons and low on fuel after a full demo flight ( note how much the NLG strut is extended) and you can see and hear the pilot advancing the throttle at 1:06, 1:37 and 1:52 7_sqxVfpYGE?start=65 If the aircraft accelerated on idle, why would the pilot advance the throttle?
  22. If your talking about how the aircraft sometime bounces, is more due to the angle of the Nose Landing Gear (NLG) strut. The strut is angle a bit forward ( meaning the tire is slightly ahead of the strut top) so it tends to jam on it self. So as the aircraft taxied, when weight changes, etc. the strut tends to jam and release randomly creating that bounce. When you refuel the aircraft or when down jacking after maintenance it is normal to kick the nose tire to get the NLG strut to unbind. Same way how the Main Landing Gear (MLG) tire get jam when you down jack the aircraft and need skid plates. On landing, since the MLG tires are rotating it allows the MLG to compress, but down jack the MLG tire can and will get jam unless skid plates (or several layers of trash bags) are used.
  23. Depends what Operational Flight Program (OFP) ED models for example Ground Speed (G/S) could be found on the DED, by pressing; list, 0 and 6=GPS list and 6= INS 5 (Time over sterpoint or TOS) will show require G/S Lastly you can select it in the HUD , look at the HUD control panel, bottom row first switch Edit Keep in mind that when the landing gear handle is down, CAS will be displayed on the HUD regardless of airspeed or the position of the velocity switch. In DGFT, CAS is auto selected.
