Not related but funny XlaJJXkS3uo B-1B forget to lower landing gear http://www.zianet.com/tedmorris/dg/bombers4.html Same thing on a C-17 http://www.iasa-intl.com/folders/belfast/C17gearupBagram.htm

Yes https://www.torch.aetc.af.mil/News/Article-Display/Article/365131/jets-landing-gear-retracts-on-runway/ http://www.f-16.net/g3/f-16-photos/album30/aec https://aviation.stackexchange.com/questions/26279/can-the-landing-gear-be-pulled-up-while-the-plane-is-on-the-ground Direct PDF link to accident report https://www.kunsan.af.mil/Portals/6/180413-PACAF-JB%20Elmendorf-Richardson-Alaska-AIB%20NARRATIVE%20REPORT.pdf?ver=2018-11-15-200849-187

I just tried it, using Open Beta 2.5.5.33552, following Air Force Instruction 11-246 (2016) You can do all maneuver describe with aircraft having 29% fuel (3100 lbs at start up) zero gun ammo and zero chaff/flare. If you look from the crowd point of view or from the pit it looks just like the RL demo...well I miss all my entry altitudes and speed ( to fast or to high) but the aircraft handle no problems. RL demo 2011( high show on 11-246) My second practice run, I crash on the first one. You can see I mess up all the maneuvers but the aircraft was more than capable. A-10C demo second try.trk

This one those thing that will always be debated. I suggest that instead of watching a video that does not tell you the weight of the aircraft speed to enter maneuver etc. Why not go to https://www.e-publishing.af.mil, look for the the actual air show manual (AFI 11-246) which has no releasability restrictions and it is free to down load from the USAF themselves and see how to set up the aircraft: what weight you should have, what speed to enter maneuvers, at what altitude etc. How close you can get to the performance on a standard day in DCS? Keep in mind in DCS you should have additional drag from pylons.

Back in 2003/2004, when I was in Qatar with 510 AMU, is was very common to have several versions of the AIM-120 loaded. Makes since to me, flying the missiles adds maintenance (IIRC they used flight time nor operational time). Same way the wing man will have a different load that the lead. The lead might have a GBU-31 and two GBU-12 and the wing my have GBU-10 and a GBU-38 or one might have GBU-10 with mk-84 body the other may have GBU-31 with BLU-109 body. Those guys where flying some long hours tho, 13 to 16 hours.

This information is for USAF block 40/42 circa 2009 Digital Flight Control System (DFLCS), block 32 and below uses a different system and this may or may not apply. Digital Flight Control Computer (DFLCC) has change several times and so has its software. This may not apply in different years and different countries. Depends on landing gear (LG) handle position and in flight refueling (IFR) door position. In cruise gains (LG up and IFR door close) pitch trim inputs are g command signals identical in function to normal stick pitch commands. With landing gains (or IFR door open) It uses pitch rate command until 10° AOA, aftrer it does both pitch rate and AOA command Wheel spin above 60 knots centers pitch trim. Roll and Rudder trim may have to be change during flight depending on conditions and load out. Roll trim command proportional rudder trim trough the ARI. ARI does not work with wheel spin above 60 knots.

I have not seen any confirmation to this specific subject, but to add to what mu110 posted; Time Compliance Technical Order (TCTO) 1F-16-2221 was the installation of the Common Configuration Implementation Program, AKA CCIP ( or modification ECP 3016). This incorporated the Modular Mission Computer (MMC), Color MFDS, Electronic Horizontal Situation Indicator (HSI), Link 16 with TACAN, and Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System (HMCS) to the USAF Block 40/42/50/52. So according to this https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=241132 It should have CCIP so it should have CMFD

tried PM Deano87, but he just told me to PM you. What does the video show that is not modeled correctly in DCS? Keeping in mind the video does not tell us if it is on the actual aircraft or a demo, or a simulator. It does not show the version of the APG-68, what software is on the aircraft, what updates to the radar, what years was it recorded, what country is that from, etc. I tried similar scenario in DCS with the F-15, seven targets at 80+ miles same altitude, first one/closest being soft lock in TWS. DCS showed the exact behavior as in the video as far as I can tell.

Posted this before but still cool video showing some Radar settings. Not sure if this is Navy A model or N model. Not sure the year this was recorded. 0IL3UoU9CbM

Complicated question. I do not think ED has stated there will be any other version besides USAF F-16C block 50 after Common Configuration Implementation Program (CCIP) from 2007 https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=241132 There may be different skins, but those skins will not change the main model. Israel F-16 are highly modified with their own avionics and systems. Turkey makes their own F-16 as well and many are very different internally and externally. In additions, F-16 (like most aircraft) are continuously updated and upgraded...... 9___ snipe me never mind

The 1F-16CJ-2-00GV-00-1, starting on Figure 11-1, page 11-4 would show you what colors, what parts have no finish nor paint (including the radome). It show you all the makings dimensions and placement locations to include instrument markings.

I will PM you since this seems beyond the scope of this thread

So I understand and to make it clear, you want ED to model a late 1980 block 25 radar for the USAF Block 50 circa 2007?

AFAIK, the localizer deviation bar can be use on any waypoint/steerpoint. Here you can see it on before the engine quit. https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3877629&postcount=1227 Keep in mind this is not a direct view of the HUD, the camera is actually in front of the HUD and this should be HUD simbology superimpose by the AVTR or DVR. Also be mindful I do not know which version of the F-16 this is, the year nor any of the specifics and this video does not show them. Localizer and glide bars on this video on several times https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3775880&postcount=1152 https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3689733&postcount=1050 More common to see on A/B models

Not only the country of origin is different. It has a different fuel system, different weapons capabilities, different software, different cockpit panels, different cockpit panel location, etc.

watch your links Vampire, rule 1.16. also those manuals do not apply to DCS version.

In relation to the information on the article Engine F-16C is powered by 5 engine not only the mention F110-GE-100. So block 25 started with F100-PW-200 and later change to the F100-PW-220 ( or updated 200, called 220E) Block 30 first to use F110-GE-100 Block 32 F100-PW-220 Block 40 F110-GE-100 block 42 F100-PW-220/220E and some units use F100-PW-229 (two units in the ANG) Block 50 F110-GE-129 Block 52 F100-PW-229 And yes, they are all F-16C The computers mention for the engine are wrong. The PW-220/220E and the 229 engine uses Digital Electronic Engine Control (DEEC) and what he calls SEC is the Main Fuel Control (MFC). The GE-100 uses Digital Engine Control (DEC) and the Main Engine Control (MEC). The PW -200 had the Electronic Engine Control (EEC) and the Unified Fuel Control (UFC) The Jet Fuel Starter (JFS) is not started by compress air. I stop reading after this, to much wrong information, not worth the time.

For what is worth, the first photo is from a block 30 (85-1484). The second photo is from a A model.

Depends on the radio modeled, for example: ILS frequencies are only 108.10–111.95 in alternating 0.05 and 0.15 increments on the AN/ARC-186. 108.000–117.975 MHz (ILS and VOR Freqs) on the AN/ARC-210(BLOS)

Not in the USAF F-16

Both pods are updated and upgraded regularly. They are both just as capable. Its matter of what is available to each unit, at a specific location at a specific time. So if you are interested: Look at USAFE.af.mil, spangdahlem.af.mil, and Aviano.af.mil. What pod do they carry? Now look at PACAF.af.mil, Osan.af.mil, Kunsan.af.mil, and Misawa.af.mil Finally look at ACC.af.mil, Shaw.af.mil
