This is not about what we like or don't like. It is about what is realistic for F-16 Viper Block 50 operated by the United States Air Force and Air National Guard circa 2007 as determined by ED. ED has determined that AGM-88 HARM on stations 4 & 6 is not realistic for that time & place, and has disabled them. Following that logic, same should be done for LAU-88 as Wags himself has stated that it is not a valid loadout. If it was done for HARM, why should LAU-88 be an exception to this? We need to have some consistency, either allow all erroneous loadouts or none. Source:
-
I don't see the logic behind this check box that you propose, as it would still permit the arcade players to carry an invalid loadout. These players would very likely still fly their singleplayer missions with 6 Mavericks and perhaps even influence server admins to enable LAU-88 on public servers, therefore allowing the lack of realism to continue.
-
ED, thank you for the massive Viper patch and making that extra step towards realism. Can something also be done about the inaccurate double and triple Mavericks on LAU-88 on stations 3 & 7? It is not an operationally valid loadout for the Viper being simulated in DCS and therefore shouldn't be an option in the simulator. I believe that this would be a beneficial addition to DCS, as it would encourage players to use realistic loadouts ( especially in multiplayer where 6x mavericks are a sight that is way too common).
-
Overall the entire VR is noticeably more blurry & washed out than it was. VR is borderline unplayable in DCS 2.7 with all these bugs.
-
It has been reported to ED already. It's a very simple fix so hopefully skins will be available soon.
-
Marvelous! You just made my day.
-
One step closer to dynamic campaign. :)
-
It is hell of a lot better than what we have now. :smilewink:
-
+1 Let's hope for the best.
-
+1 Cyprus doesnt need to be detailed at all. Just the RAF Akrotiri.

Mavericks were first planned for April, now we know they are delayed again. Is it reasonable to expect them June 3rd? Can we get some information about Viper development? Has Viper been completly abandoned because of other projects?
-
Indeed. BigNewy confirmed on Discord that Mavericks are still WIP, almost a month later since the planned "release". Also if you read the Hornet mini-updates, you will know that Viper has been pretty much abandoned until at least 2021. :smilewink:
-
So still no news about AG radar,SLAM,and new FLIR function?

Thanks for the update and for keeping us in the loop. -
Yes, in late April Kate from ED said they hired a new engineer that is currently working on AGM-65D and they plan to deliver it later that month ( April). Obviously didnt happen yet. https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=4287187&postcount=1
-
Last official info was that it will maybe have AGM-65D for the Viper.
-
This is precisely why we need a roadmap for Viper also. Few weeks ago it was said that Viper will be out of EA in 2020. Now we're told that Viper development will be slowed down even further (after very little development in the last 7 months).
-
Thank you Kate and team for this update. As a customer since 2003, I can say that your continuous commitment to this great product and flight-sim genre as a whole is inspiring. Without ED and its partners, flight-sim genre would be a very empty place. Stay safe & healthy during these trying times and thank you for all your hard work.
-
It used to be that ship borne CIWS could engage AGM-65's, but this no longer appears to be the case.
-
To fly them of course! Why would I shoot down the best looking F-16's on the planet?
-
Looking forward to these skins. :) Good luck with your project.
-
Sometime in 2020 was the last official info.
-
Our F-16 can carry HARM and will get it sometime in 2020.

What's different now?
