Hi Guys, So guys I'm updating the textures making a pack to make real-life textures for F-16 and one of them is landing gear textures see some examples here of my reworks, thanks https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=263930 This is landing gear texture reworked to match the real thing So my question is, in order to get my moded texture of landing gear to be reflected on specific livery what line in description file I need to put? Can anyone help e out? :thumbup:

Oh that one, yes originally the f18/f16 pilots in default have wrong Way facing US Flag, I do believe is a big deal as for a country flag that is being represented in SIM being wrong! ED should have fixed it quick but instead I had to do it for myself so now in my SIM my default F16 pilot not only looks like it should be but US Flag face correct way and among other things now look as they should or closer to real deal ;) But I know very very soon we will have reworked 3D models of pilots and correct helmet with all details in it place! :thumbup: ED work hard and they get all right this will be there too I know! We know!! :D

You really think so Skyracer? Wow, see below! Thanks :book:

Obrigada Camarada!!! Estamos aqui a trabalhar com forca toda para o nosso pais seja bem representatdo! Quero Ver Portugal entre os paises Nato no Simulador, que de momento pesnso que faz muita falta! I hope to see in very close future Portugal being represented in DCS as we make part of NATO and we make difference in the world's security we provide for several countries air protection the once that have no own air force! Salute to all our women and men Pilots in Portuguese Airforce and army!:thumbup: Here my last reworks on Pilots suit now corrected pilots suit colors and life-saving gear color adjusted as per above real-life FAP pilot! FAP PORTUGUESE F-16 MLU Pilot updated reworked helmet, visor, patches, the suits and flight gear along with tire textures lot's more like FAP skins got cockpit glass dif glow and added two kneeboards with F-16 startup checklist and flight demo performance, two variant pilots t-shirt for each skin. :thumbup: USAF F-16C reworked engine F110 Nozzles photo-realistic textures, tire/wheels rims photo-real textures, pilot reworked patches and colors of flight suit and flight gear along with helmet and helmets glass glow and added two kneeboards with F-16C startup checklist and flight demo performance. Thanks All and this is not only my textures this has a mix of work of other people like FAP skins originally made by user Mispunt find original skins link below, and other elements that I have combined to make ultra-realistic textures of F-16! FAP original skins - https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/?CREATED_BY=Mispunt&set_filter=Y Please I would need someone that has ability to get this all textures packed up and skins so they can be uploaded for share with community, all credits to be addressed to all people that have done/created original artwork that I have combined with my textures like pilot helmet, flight suit, F16 landing gear textures, and helmet glass.

Thanks for the feedback, hope we get this updates for Viper and Hornet soon! As I have reworked myself already the textures of pilot's the colours of pilots suit, added second kneeboard, the life safe vest the ejection seat belts colour adjusted to match F-16's belts, the helmets glass visor for pilot transparency the colour adjusted, fixed the patches for USAF pilot suit the rank fixed at least now looks more realistic, but there is way much stuff that is currently wrong on pilot it no way matches the F-16 pilot suit as naval pilots/aviators have different suit life-saving vest and also F-18 pilots must different from F16 pilot gear wise. Check my post here for my stuff and my reworked textures for F16. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=263930 Please can you check this will much appreciate

+1 Full support! But we must work as team help to ED and Together walk to the future to make this SIM ONLY IN THE WORLD AS IT IS CURRENTLY! There is no any other Sim in the world of modern jets this close to reality! Thanks ED for all this!

Hey Guys! Got more small updates on my reworked pilot for F-16C, just see yourself's I have adjusted colour of safe vest around pilots chest to match the F-16 pilots one, now also I have added a second kneeboard on pilots lege with flight plan for practice and changed the kneeboard with checklist of F16C :thumbup: now make it cooler and closer to real thing FAP Pilot cheers guys and will do small adjustment and can say finish!

Hey Airhunter, Thanks for support and your comment appreciate a lot, now is sad indeed! That we have to pay full amount of tagged price for a “ready product/ WIP ” and based on what we believe this product will be in near future that vision and many of us having that picture in our heads of this iconic pice of tech perfect fighter just as it is in real life. But unfortunately is not the case atm with all our imputes of (community) yet we move slow and things like this small details actually make all difference for a bigger picture in future. I do believe in team work as more can be achieved now I haven’t seen any response or sign of ED even looking or reading this posts. Now as per above my photos you can clearly see a much better in overall the representation of this F-16, the look of pilot with in cockpit both the USAF and FAP brings things to life and look better for overall picture I do believe we need this work to be done to set 3D of pilots on pair with aircraft’s (F-16, F/A-18) fingers crossed for ED’s announcement for new 3D reworked pilots to standards of 2020 :thumbup:

Guys hey !! I do FEEL YOU ALL !! WE NEED TO ED TO MAKE FREAKING NEW 3D Model for pilots adjust the helmet as it feels like a joke and copy-paste pilot from FA-18 to F-16C feels WRONG! not even strapping to ejection seat is different the strap locking mechanism is way different on hornet to F16 and flight gear is also different from Naval Pilot to USAF ground-based pilots, just see at my post differences and my latest work textures wise and pilots flight suit and even patches and some F16 textures like landing gear updates along with canopy and pilots helmet glass! ED must just must bring this up as atm is ugly and feels not on pair with aircraft 3D models and textures! Pilots are way way off the line! All new stuff coming up and this 3D model of the pilot is just trash Sorry ED but that's real! just Look at it yourselves lol I spend 80$ on F18 and the same on F16 and I'm happy the most things with as I know work in progress (WIP) but the pilots are way off.

Hey Thanks Minsky for profile, I would like to combine forces to make stunning skins for our Viper, I have huge data base for textures and files plus extensiveness experience in the field and sounds making I also have changed vipers sounds like idle the transaction of power states and the viper now purrs like beast with that F110 and the afterburner is more aggressive feels more specially with my subwoofer it shakes my windows at home hehe :lol: Now see below reworked as closer I can the F-16 Pilot helmets colour the suit the patches and glow flair on the glass those are my works on the Viper atm, I'm slowly getting each day more updates done more closer I get to the authentic look of vipers, also wish that ED could look in to this and I know for fact that FA-18 Pilot as navy pilot have different gear than the USAF pilots as F-16C pilots even the strapping to the ejection seat is different, so I have changed the textures and now more tuns I believe the Vipers pilot will look much much better, I have changed the kneeboard that boring map over worn now is a map of airfield but i think i will just replace it with a check list of viper and this will give more default look and better than just random airfield approach map :) Also dno why with the changed textures I have lost on viper the vapour G force effect only the two of them from the fuselage as rest of vapour effects are there, so trying to find out what might cause that and need help if anyone know hwy this happen :book: See pics below: USAF Pilot: Thanks and more to come :) I will keep posting some cool stuff as me and Viper is a love 4ever! :beer:

Hi Minsky, Thanks for your headsup I will be posting updates today as quite busy at home doing some stuff and plus work leave me with not much time, but do you actually know how i can reach this person lee1hy ? if he have a profile here at forum so i can leave him email and get over to Discord so we can do some joint work also see my textures data base as I'm not only Flight sim guy I did in past lot more like ETS2 and I also do sounds but more in ETS2 and used to build sounds for FSX I still have airsofts F16 skins on their data base under nike name BanditOne :thumbup: and also at my youtube channel I have sounds mods reviews and my workings back in the days :joystick: So stay tuned and will post some cool stuff about our DCS F-16 Links for my stuff: https://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/files/file/1735-klu-j-021-313sqn-callsign-cylon-2-by-banditone/&tab=reviews&sort=newest#review-1338 https://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/files/file/1734-f-16-fs-098-180fw-real-v4-update-fix/&tab=reviews&sort=newest#review-1335 https://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/files/file/1715-f-16-bucaneros-156fg-and-update/&tab=reviews&sort=newest#review-1295 FAP Skins FSX https://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/files/file/1737-realistic-f-16a-50-years-fap-sabre-esq-201-falcoes/&tab=reviews&sort=newest#review-1341 https://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/files/file/1738-301sq-fap-tiger-meet-nato-2011-15106/&tab=reviews&sort=newest#review-1343 My Youtube channel with sound example video for F-16 and my Photo at Monte Real BA5 next to our F-16 MLU ver from 201 squadron Falcons Textures on Flickr Acc: :thumbup:

Well as partially agree with you, I have to say that pilot 3D model must be on pair with the aircraft 's model and just as anything else pretty much is accurate aircrafts wise they must look in to pilots model, and an quick example how they made wrong way the pilots US flag how come that possible? Same I would say the US patches that's one of big question I have as I have mention already on the post. I have made fixes on the pilots patches and the pilots rank patch, will post some photos once get back form work. Agree on the canopy possibility of change as an option would be much appreciated and would love see different variants as shows on my pictures of in life F-16C's but they way it is at the moment stock canopy is not even golden glow is a yellow green dark canopy that looks just near anything like in real life F-16, and we community are forced to take this in our hands and try find best solution to be closer to real life thing, thanks boys and see you all later Keep posting here and if you have photos of your workings on fixes and would like to share feel free show us all and to ED what we could have in our beautiful SIM :thumbup:

Hi Guys! This is true words, I do try to make it look real a like as per my post at Viper Wish section I have made some changes to canopy exterior colour to look like hornets one but wish we had option to get different sets of canopy colours as in real F-16's variants :thumbup: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=263930 Thanks

Hi Josh, I was all afternoon working on more stuff like pilot wise and once come back from work will post more pics of my last USAF and Portuguese pilot reworks, fixed patches and ranks of pilots to look right, also trying to blend more colours in to pilots visor and will try to game up the textures of landing gear, I also want to up bit more the textures of engines fan blades and cone of the engine to match the real life looking, stay tuned! I have seen this F-16’s since age of 8 as I do live next to BA5 just on backs of it and know lots of members and staff of air base ;) Stay tuned :thumbup:

Hi Jumpink, Calm down as per above person said they working hard on all fixes and important aspects of DCS by means core of the SIM, now the tuneup for performance will come along, and I do believe you do not read the updates notes as they do release performance fixes on those updates. Now I’m not sure what type of machine you have got but looks like guys with 1070’s 1060’s little bit on boosts have decent FPS and well playable SIM, my self I have got no probs got well beyond 90fps in game all maxed with reso of 1080p on my gtx1080OC by MSI I would say old but gold any game till today max out no issues specially DCS I have got even tomcat with textures pack 8k and stunning look, so have a look at your end and no need to spread anger here because your machine do not run SIM as you said back years a goo! Lot of stuff changed and yes DCS is more demanding SIM now but if your pc is healthy and you have got recent hardware by that mean not like gpu gtx970 or 960’s you should be fine or look for update your machine to match the requirements of today’s gaming industry. As I said look in to your pc first before coming here and spray :thumbup: Have a nice day guys and looking forward to stable release of 2.5.6 and my supercarear all ready here for bad boy! :pilotfly:

Hey Guys, Please see below my reworked Landing gear textures for rear rims now they have red marking and writings that I have taken from my 8K photo of F-16C at BA5 Monte Real, also I have reworked the pilots helmets glass transparency and added to it some glow with few colours and helmets colour also changed according to current FAP Pilots helmets, and I have reworked the glass canopy colour and made it slight look-alike FA-18 using original textures from viper. Landing gear HD textures with red pinting on rim In game text 4k Real Life Canopy Fixed Colour text Let me know what you think boys should we have something like this? If anyone needs the DDS let me know I wish that ED would see this and adopt my High Reso textures for Landing gear :thumbup:

Thanks Guys for support! Yes I understand that they are currently working hard on the updates, but I do believe they have team resources that can also focus on the updates such as 3D pilots models to be in pair with the quality of F-16C and F/A-18, same time they can update the F-16C canopy colours and variants and not to forget the skins :thumbup: Cheers guys for support and your comments

Good Morning to ED Team, I have already made this query on the forum at DC 2.5 section in wishlist's requests in regards the 3D model for the Pilots for F-16C and FA-18, but once more would like to bring this up here only dedicated to the F-16C, as I have spent all day yesterday testing and doing some modifications to the pilots visor transparency and adding that glow colour along with fixing the canopy colour and trying to achieve that same results as in the Hornet as Hornets canopy is just beautifully made the colours and glow is amazing! Wish F-16C had same treatment and possibility to have different colours of canopy's just as in real F-16's. Now back to F-16C pilot why we cannot have same treat for pilots for both Hornet and F-16 as per below some other in game 3rd parties already have got their pilots updated and they now Some pics of current pilots 3D models in DCS and compare to F-16/Hornet pilot. F/A-18 /F-16C - Pilot must be better than this ED pls you can make it! We know that! The F16C pilot is the same pilot currently in F18. F-15C Pilot - My question how the F15C pilot get the oxygen mask as modern as that and F-18 pilot is using the old gen mask with modern Helmet, something is off here at least rework the pilot new 3D model along with a corrected helmet and nice modern oxygen mask as on F15C 1 not bad for the old 3D model pilot is properly strapped into an ejection seat. Now Heatblur F14B pilot artwork, the helmet wires all in place the pilots even got a wristwatch, great work here. Some Pilot compares of AV-8B Harrier and Mirage 2000. Now some real-life pilot suits and variations F-16/F18, and canopy current USAF F-16C colours. some top view of Helmet mounted JHMCS system Helmet and see below other related flight gear and helmets along with oxygen masks. Pilots Helmet transparency in DCS is so dark and wrong see below how it should be. FAP Pilot F16MLU -TOP F18 Pilot looks not same as we currently have in DCS :cry: So leave your comments your thoughts on this case and more we raise this up more we can achieve as a community as all of us here enjoy our best SIM!! Hope ED can advise something on this matter :thumbup: This post is purely my opinion and I'm not here to offend no one, and I want as much as you see this SIM project at the top of the world!

Absolutely true!! Don’t see why not having Portugal in SIM! Salute to all FAP!

Boas Malta!! Estou completamente de acordo rapaziada! Miséria total ED give us Portugal as is bit unfair not having my country flag even though we are prt of nato and we participate in lots of missions all across of glob and defending some countries air space. Thanks and hope to see our flag in our beautiful SIM. Obrigado a todos e um bom resto de fim de semana

Hi ngreenaway, Absolutely right, but you know what is the funniest thing? is that this is a default F/A-18C skin lol and US flag is inverted wrong way, we’ll this is another thing that bothers lots of us for some is small details and they might not care about it, but for lots of us this small details make all the difference specially when this is positioned as SIM. So we need to report those things and make things right all together as a big family big community, and I know we can help ED to make this sort of things right and help to go all together in the right direction! Let’s push this one guys so ED can give us some nice update on pilots models and match that with the rest of SIM and as looking at F18 or F16 beautiful machines beautifully made and accurate beautiful textures and most importantly outstanding accurate on board systems! And pilots unfortunately left behind wishing the better days.. Thing is that pilots looks like we’re made back in 2001 Wish you all top of the day and fantastic weekend boys!

Good Afternoon to ED Team, I'm very happy on the current road we are moving in DCS and with new updates new features and airplanes we have and being implemented I'm not only looking into all aspects of technical (flight models, onboard systems, weapons systems, cockpit layout and etc...) of airplanes (Jets) I do also consider a lot the exterior the accuracy of airplanes models and textures quality the Sounds is a big point there also and all those things that make the module outstand from the rest, but we are very good indeed focused on those things but just a thing we must not forget is the PILOT. The Pilot is a very important feature in the cabin(cockpit) of a Fighter Jet and this pilot must be according to the quality of the module, now is not something that at least I can see so far pilot is like a wooden stick very simple very unfinished looking "thing" and I would like to make an accent on this so we could start to see that ED is working on to improvements across all the board not skipping the pilots 3D Models and accuracy of the gear the helmet the oxygen mask, I have few attached examples, and not trying to say anything but Heatblur team have done such a beautiful pilot 3D model the level of the detail is incredible just a joy to have a look and make the cinematic videos, not to say the Tomcat model and lvl of details brought on the table at lunching stage of F14B. Now I have seen the beautiful I would say artwork of the Superccarier the dek crew and they look outstanding in all way fantastic job ED!! Now why this cannot be done for the F-16C Blk50 why this cannot be done on the F/A-18, I know you can make this I know guys!! I wish ED could replay to this back and we all together can bring this forward on the table back to reshape remodel as all we know the pilots are fundamental peace in a Fighter's Jet life :) Some pics of current pilots 3D models in DCS and comparations. F/A-18 - Pilot must be better than this ED pls you can make it! We know that! The F16C pilot is the same pilot currently in F18. F-15C Pilot - My question how the F15 pilot get the oxygen mask as modern as that and F-18 pilot is using the old gen mask with modern Helmet, something is off here at least rework the pilot new 3D model along with a corrected helmet and nice modern oxygen mask as on F15C 1 not bad for the old 3D model pilot is properly strapped into an ejection seat. Now Heatblur F14B pilot artwork, the helmet wires all in place the pilots even got a wristwatch, great work here. Some Pilot compares of AV-8B Harrier and Mirage 2000. Now some real-life pilot suits and variations F-16/F18. some top view of Helmet mounted JHMCS system Helmet and see below other related flight gear and helmets along with oxygen masks. Pilots Helmet transparency in DCS is so dark and wrong see below how it should be. FAP Pilot F16MLU -TOP F18 Pilot looks not same as we currently have in DCS :cry: So leave your comments your thoughts on this case and more we raise this up more we can achieve as a community as all of us here enjoy our best SIM!! Hope ED can advise something on this matter :thumbup: Have a great day all and enjoy your weekend boys! This post is purely my opinion and I'm not here to offend no one, and I want as much as you see this SIM project at the top of the world!

Hello to everyone, let me do small introduction, so my nick name in DCS is "Smiley" and I'm also known as ComandoneOne in ETS2, BanditOne in FSX community and on my YouTube channel is TECH GamersHouse: https://www.youtube.com/user/StanGersk/videos, and my passion for sim world is coming far back seance 1990's till today, and I have been always looking in were community can improve already great products and by this I mean modding, and my first time ever trying to adjust any type of sounds was in rFactor while i was teamed up with Spanish modding team community, then after a year i came back but this time to old but gold FSX and my eye was on the Aerosoft F-16, and seance i was living near Air Base Monte Real BA5 Portugal i was living with F16's flying over my house as kid I used to stay there hours and hours seeing them taxing, taking off and landing and all that good stuff as all you know, I also meet some guys that were serving in FAP (Portuguese Air force) And also on open air base day I had chance to be close to this beauty (F-16) and I got chances to record audio and later on use it in my sound mod i was developing so all this can be found on my YouTube link above, now to keep this short I have been talking with guys like Echo19 (I_Gamer) and our friend Bananimal the first man making this F14 sound adjustment and bring this up to community, I have been working on this sounds some time now and Banaimal have given me chance to move one step more in this sounds I have managed to make flyby sound to be in right order, now I'm going to pass my all audio files to Bananimal and I_Gamer so they can look in to them try this sound mod out and 3 of us we can work on them and bring to you all guys fantastic sound mod for F14B !! Doing my best and trying to have right people on board so this mod have solid outcome! Thanks all and soon will be a video of progress and many more! Stay Tuned Kindly Smiley :thumbup:

Gib me F16 and TAKE MY MONEY!! :joystick::rotflmao::worthy: Can't wait!!

I do Support and can't wait for announcement that now we can do pre-order, just thinking here are we able to fly it ? and if yes only on the DCS Open Beta version ? Or also on the stable ver. ? Like they say " Take my Money!!" GIB ME F16 ALREADY!!:joystick::worthy::rotflmao: Cheers guys
