They are not accurate. Avionics panel is in the wrong position, the HSI is wrong, voice inhibit, external lights, IFF panels...in short, not accurate.

Non of those are for the CM Wags, on most images, the right console will be block by the arm rest and the oxygen hose This a 360 image of a CM block 40/42, not the same aircraft we are getting but the console should be arrange the same. http://www.stclairphoto-imaging.com/360/aircraft/F16-Cockpit/F16_swf.html

(please read in the most sarcastic tone possible) This real life video with dirty canopies as so unrealistic, that never happens :smartass::doh: When the sun hits this canopies, there is no water spots at all

I highly doubt the F-16 actually do that (or any aircraft for that matter). More likely the cause is the gun was not installed incorrectly, a malfunction of the gun or ammo or the gun was not boresighted correctly. We had one in Luke AFB years ago that shot his AOA probe, it happens. We also had ammo coming apart in the cannon (it does fire 100 rounds a second) and I seen barrels damaged before. http://www.f-16.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=55240&p=416278#p416278

If the Litening pod is included, I would not consider it a "stopgap" since the USAF block 50 did use them circa 2007 AFAIK. It was a matter of what pod was available.

We probably wont get that since that is the AAQ-13/14, I do not think the USAF block 50 was ever able to carry those. Hopefully we get the both the LITENING and Sniper pods https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3799781&postcount=183 Here it tell us they will try for the SNIPER pod on the final version or the module.

To sum up, USAF F-16C block 40 to 52 where updated so all their avionics and capabilities match. So block 40/42 could do SEAD/DEAD mission and Block 50/52 could do strike missions. https://wiki.scramble.nl/index.php/Lockheed_Martin_F-16_Fighting_Falcon#F-16_CCIP But this are ongoing updates, so aircraft are continuously updated. This is different from tape or Operational Flight Program updates.

Keep in mind, from the image you provided, the A, C and D model do not seem accurate. You could use this http://www.stclairphoto-imaging.com/360/aircraft/F16-Cockpit/F16_swf.html Is from a block 40, not a 50 that we are getting, but this block 40 had gone CCIP upgrade (indicated by the digital HSI) so besides the HUD it should be very close to the USAF block 50 circa 2007.

It's taken me years to finally stop post on every tread and arguing with you with take us nowhere. My opinion is base on the few years working on the aircraft, take or leave it is up to you. Moving on.

That is not true. If it was, it would mean the aircraft would only fly every 2 week in combat. Since repainting takes that long with refuels/defuels, aircraft preps and weigh and balance. It took a lot of man hour per flight hour to maintain the aircraft and handful of MARTIANS per aircraft to maintain the RAM/RAS, but not that many man hours. Highly implausible. The aircraft took a lot of planning, but that would be impossible to plan. It took parts from a dozen aircraft: A-10, F-111, F/A-18, F-16, F-104, etc.
