Cristal clear Fri13, very good, rich, logic and well documented post : thumbs up^^

Hello Rosmun^^ Like i said on the " Viggen road map" topic, in the F14 room, you can ask a question, report a bug, Dev's answer your reports/ questions in minutes/ hours "Here".....you have to wait and see..."a major update" It's really a pity cause the Viggen is one of the most polish EA module and HB dev's have a kind behavior to answer to all question about the Cat...and since numerous updates, exept cosmetics, no major update for the Viggen...

Thx alot, i'll try this

Bravo Rossmun ^^ Had you ever tried VR? thx for your video

+1 , perfect for my Viggen

HB said there will be a major update, i am glad about this information but what are the contents of such an update? In the F14 sub forum, there are detailed contents very often, "here" sometime a bit of information but nothing really detailed...it's disapointing... The more important is having some information instead of words like " a major update" Lets see next update...or again an "empty wednesday" I am sad cause HB, you are my favs 3RD party and Viggen and the Cat are my favs module, however you don't give the same level of information here as in the F14's section

Wise decision... Thx Razbam

Thx for your reply Cobra Could you detail a little more your road map please? I rather think of the addition of hardware fonctionalities ( complete radio panel for ex), not only buttons cosmetics ( which are important too but not as important). Thx to be "here", i'd like there to be as many dev's activities here as in the F14's section. Thx HB

Another update today, Viggen slot is desesperatly empty.... no"add" ( radio?) no fixe ( FM?)...nothing.....Really it's sad....F14 rules...and market.... And it's doubly sad beacause the Viggen is perhaps the only DCS module for which we do not find any negative comments ou criticals things on the net... Viggen = abandonware? I am sad

This campaign is challenging, excellent missions for all pilots who enjoy flying the Viggen: Thx for a such quality work

No answer...Has the Viggen been forgotten? No interest anymore? Is he a victim of the success of the Tomcat?

For me HB is the best 3rd party, i love the Viggen ( F14 too) and i thx the entire team for the great quality modules. However, every wednesday, i wait, i wait the next patch to discover the treasure... At the same time i see huge changelogs for Mirage , F14, F18 but no major improvments since 2 updates for the "Thunder"... My question is: when the mighty Viggen will be out of EA? or What is the next road map for it? I ma very sorry to write this because the Viggen is my fav module and i enjoy his/her philosophy, i enjoy HB. Best regards to the whole team

+1 and on top of that i am able today to understand " till and fran" ^^

It's me or vehicules seem to be more blast sensitive after the 2.7 patch? Or bombs more powerfull? I did some test and yes no blast radius ( 2+ trucks are "alive") BUT more trucks are hit....

Thx Machalot, same result here

I mean "blast radius": no concern for fortified targets... I do not compare MK82 and M71, both suffer the same issue: DCS is not modeling fragments and shrapnell coming out of bomb = no proper blast radius. So now you put 16 simple trucks on a runway, rather grouped, no lined up. No armored vehicules, just simple trucks for transport. You do your fast pass with the Viggen and drop your 16 M71: do you believe that each M71 went directly on a truck and destroyed it?...No. Some trucks remained undamaged = cause is they is no blast radius and it's a pity really. Same with Mk82 and a ...say...F16 if you want. You got the point when you say " It's not like the Viggen is limited in its payloads. RB-75s (and 75Ts especially), BK-90s and to some extent ARAKs and RB-05s do a perfectly fine job of taking out most fortified targets". Th all subject of this topic is there is no blast radius in DCS and the Viggen struggle, often, to destroy with enough efficiency some numerous targets with the silmple M71. I fly this bird since the release, nearly exclusively ( some flights with F14 and Mirage though), the Viggen is very very efficient but sometimes, regards to this issu , it's frustrating to RTB with no 100% result with M71. Obvously the same parked trucks will be blasted with BK90 ;)

Yes, but what is the point if both Mh82 and M71 are ineffective against multiples targets? The blast radius is non existant and it induces direct hits from this "old" bombs to be effectives. It's a pity for a plane like the Viggen and 100nm navigation @ tree top level. Just my thoughts

you misunderstood me and I misspoke. I do not compare the weapons between them but the fact that the direct damage benefits certain bombs( JDAM for ex). I just say it's hard to do a max damage in Viggen in one pass over a max targets because DCS is not modeling fragments and shrapnell coming out of bomb . It's a big disadvantage for the Viggen compare to an F16/18 which can drop a JDAM's 20nm away from the same targets, and this JDAM's will damage all targets... The Viggen is my favorite module, i love it, that's the reason why i write "here".

Hi, In DCS nowadays, a bomb must hit the objective to destroy it or even incapacitate it. When a bomb hits next to a truck, it doesn't even move It's very frustrating... this problem has been around for years. As much as this problem does not impact aircraft equipped with guided bombs, for the Viggen it is a handicap. if this issue were fixed, the Viggen would shine even more in combat zones. I assume that this code is ED's property but it would be nice if the M71s got even more terrible: 16 x M71 that hit, it must be windy ^^ Thx for you futur replies
