@DCSopingI was just in a Syria map mission against an AI SU-27, and I locked him up, about co-altitude, at around 40nm. He was doing the funky chicken on me, going left and right, and the lock was persistent. I had a successful AIM120C shot within pitbull range, slightly lookup.

I haven't tried it, but can't you just back off the fuel slider bar to just the internal fuel load?

For the past few months, I'd shelved the Viper in favor of the Harrier, until the former matured a bit. Yesterday, I flew the Viper to check its status....WOW!! It's way better now, and I can't wait for the Oct release, whatever it will contain. Keep up the great work, ED. Let me get back to my muscle memory....

F-16I / Sufa...'nuff said. Take my money!

IMO, when I first read this and even now, I couldn't figure out your specific request. I would suggest you list the specific functionality you know is missing and explain how DTS supports that functionality, including any related screenshots, videos, documentation, within forum rules, of course.

Well, you can cancel the update and wait until after this coming weekend as an option.

Agreed...I just flew with Sidearm, LMAV, and JDAM, with gun pod and TPOD.

Yeah. We've reached a compromise, but we still want to continue arguing the need for a compromise in the first place. Sigh...

If you had them included, did you also notice sporadic drops in support aircraft (tanker, AWACS, etc.) on SA pages? TIA!

Yes, sir. Check this thread.

Probably loaded the HARM on the pylon that doesn't have the umbilical to talk to the missile?? I can't remember which, but I think the valid pylons are more inboard to the fuselage.

And the armed laser "L" flashes when firing, correct? @buceador

While I read these with great interest, until we get the new flight model, it's all kinda moot. I'm waiting for the dust to settle before getting too Viper serious, but that's just me.

Did these SFW bomblets have no warheads for this test?

AV8B NA until the Viper's more stable. <wink> Otherwise, LGBs and AIM120s.

Open Beta, v2.7.4, just before the 11 Aug 2021 update. We have mod'd the canned Viper sight-seeing mission. We put tankers and E3 on it; however, we see these sporadic issues: The AWACS system tracks are only sporadically available, as well as the Hornet's ability to pick up the tankers and friendly aircraft. When the AWACS doesn't show the tankers, when you call or look for tankers, E3 says unavailable. The tankers say they are unavailable for refueling. System tracks shared among the friendly fighters are only intermittently available, even tho you are flying next to them (Hornet, Harrier, Viper, AWACS, Tanker, etc.), so we don't think it's a line-of-sight problem. At other times during the mission, everything runs normally, and we see each other, with AWACS providing tanker vectors, etc., normally. AWACS and Tankers are set up the same as on our Syrian map missions, although I can't rule out my idiocy with the ME and adding these aircraft. MIZ file enclosed. Before I go into a bunch of research, would any potential linkages among the aircraft and map/terrain cause this? Anybody else see the same? Thanks in advance. db F-16C&18_MAR_IA_Hot Start.miz

Eh? Er...the Viper's in Early Access and the flight model is a work-in-progress. All Viper drivers are eagerly awaiting those mods.

I think the point is: ED has provided a target. Once the target baseline version is fully developed in accordance with the roadmap, then ED can pulse us as to what else to add, as well as which market/product strategy to use. I'm willing to pay for the some of it, but for now, what I want most of all is the Viper to be complete to the roadmap first. Until then, we can't get sidetracked or we'll never get anything completed.

Yeah, I need to wait for the ABS inclusion...

Here we go again...and again....and again....

And I'd be willing to pay for the F-16I/Sufa...
