Block 40, 88-0476 89-2116 This adds another point, most people don't know what they are looking at. A model, block 30 and block 40 where presented to prove how a block 50 should work. Like saying a I7 7700K is the same as a I7 10700K because they are both I7 made by intel, so must be the same, right? I guess this will be one of many things that ED will have to chose how to model.

Oh, cool riddles because we just can say what we mean. Landing gear extends while inverted or is it one of these https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=4054313 https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=4058383 https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=269947 https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=272796 https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=271046 https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=251289

I guess my memory is failing me, I don't remember a delay on the retraction (i still don't believe there is a delay) and the uplock roller, which is the part of the landing gear the uplock hook holds when the main landing gear (MLG) door closes is suppose to wear out. Is easily change, just one bolt and nut so I do not see why will it be a problem with "parts wearing out prematurely"

Block 30, small landing gear like the previous video 86-0347 86-0333 87-0236 87-0250

Only for selective jettison (SJ), for emergency jettison (EJ) it does not matter if master arm in on or not. EJ should work in the air even if MMC and ST Sta power are off.

Who's arguing? I'm simply requesting facts and information. That video is of an A model by the way. I'm sure we do not have in DCS.

At what point in the retraction does it slow down and how does the landing gear sequence valve ( which, IIRC controls the landing gear retractions) know the landing gear has reach that point? Where do you get this information from? Also, what part of the uplock will wear prematurely if the landing gear retracts like it does in DCS? What is 80% of travel? What does rapidly mean, what speed are we talking about? How does ED determine both of those, 80% of travel and "radiply"? In case you have access to the manuals, the information your looking for should be in the 1F-16CJ-2-32JG-00-1 for the operational check ( it should include the times for the retractions) and the 1F-16CJ-2-32GS-00-1

If I understand correctly, you guys are asking for this because your controls don't have many buttons, is that correct? If it is, have you guys tried modifiers?

Ok, I found it on the -34. The delay is only there if wing tank are loaded with A2G weapons on station 3 and 7. If there are wing tank loaded with A2G weapons loaded, station 6 is delayed, but it does not say for how long. It could be milliseconds. The same delay happens in selective jettison with same stores selected. So, in selective jettison wing tank with A2G weapons on station 3 and 7, there is a delay on station 6, but it does not say for how long.

Using the USAF manual ( since the Greek manual is not relevant) I do not see any indication of a delayed. Do you have another source that is relevant to the F-16C versions we have in DCS?

Side Stick Controller

Like many other switches in the cockpit, this has not function on the USAF F-16C block 50. This switch only applies to F100-PW-200 and F100-PW-220/220E. Has no effect on F100-PW-229 and all GE engines AFAIK. On the engine that it works ( as previously mention) the engine have to be at max AB and speed must be above mach 1.1 for it to work. It can only be used for 6 minute at a time and the engine must be overhaul if it has been used for over 60 minutes ( at 6 minutes or less increments). If used over 6 minutes, things will likely start melting.

I have never heard if this. Where do you get this from? What is consider a "small angle" 5 degrees, 10 degrees? How does the flight computer know the angle of the speed brakes since there is no potentiometer like on all other surfaces? There are two plungers IIRC, one tells the system the speed brakes are open more that 2 degrees, the other that they are open more that 43 degrees. How does it tell angle in between?

With payload, it will depend on the payload. Without any payload: 800 knots up to 30,000 feet. Above that, mach 2.5. To be clear, it does not mean you will get this speed, but you should not exceed this speed. Maximum speed in real life will be a bit different on every aircraft. I do not mean block, but each individual aircraft. Some engines are a bit better that others, etc.

There are many differences between Polish F-16C block 52+ and other F-16, but: JFS shuts off at :48 seconds ( this indicates 50% engine RPM) lights comes on at :52 seconds

This conversation again? search the forums, there is already several arguments against and for this. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=212955 https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=205630 https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=135193 https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=166719 https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=208757 just to mention a few

Lets try this video that show USAF F-16C block 50 JFS cuts off at 3:01, light on at 3:03 or this one JFS cuts off at 2:59, light come on at 3:01 Biggest give away about engine RPM is the JFS cut off, this should happen around 50%. The stand by generator should come online by 58%. So you can see on this examples how JFS cuts off, and a few seconds later lights come on.

9 year I have been saying this. During the climb, what was the G? If it was 1g, the DFLCC is working as I understand it in the F-16, I can't speak for the mirage system. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=140940 https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=211595 https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=246228 https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=248056 https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=251530 https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=196974

Not possible to do in F-16.They all need main/standby/ground power.

Not likely but pilots could. On the right side of the cockpit, almost behind the seat, next to DTU, there is "Map case". Also left and right rear most panels on the cockpit have a storage area for terminal information books or additional maps. I'm sure now a day they just carry a tablet with all require info but back in the early 2000 and before they had paper copy back ups in the pit.

That article is written in ignorance and is one of many spreading misconceptions. If ED want to add this to DCS, more power to them, but don't be fool by bad written articles. What would happen if this is ever attempted on a real life F-16, the landing gear would collapse, more than than likely the tension strut will rip out of the bulkhead ( this happened in the 555th FS while TDY on Decimomannu AB in the early 2000, and the aircraft was just park). Also the tire will burst and the tail hook will rip out if the pivot point or the "shoe" will rip off the hook. The tail hook on a F-16 is only 1/4" of a inch (6.35mm) thick and it can barely handle the emergency systems on the runway, even tho those systems have a lot longer slow down that the carrier ones.

Why would you like a GBU-27? GBU-27 (all subverions) is a GBU 24 with smaller front fins and GBU-10 fins on the back so it can fit in the F-117 bay. With smaller fins, guidance was not as good as GBU-24. Both the 24 and 27 could be used with different bomb bodies like a MK-84 or a BLU-117 (just to mention a few). Just wondering why would you like a GBU-27?

Reporting this way will help the team duplicate the bugs and correct them.

Yes the canopy should fire. Not sure if the canopy would travel upward or more back and the pilot could suffer burns from the rockets. On average, on the ground at zero speed, the canopy tends to eject up, aft and to the left. The seat should not fire until the canopy is far away enough to pull the lanyards activating the seat. It works the same on both single seat and two-seaters. This is a B model, but note how it flip up aft and to the left. Is truly amazing all the things that happens in less than a second. eY9KW0nxRSg
