Hi, I just tested this and I cannot reproduce it. Thanks

Hi Mac and thanks for the feedback. This is quite contrary to the feedback we've had from our F-16 pilot SMEs. Thanks

Hello, I'm unable to reproduce this. Please make sure the HMCS knob is moved fully clockwise. Thanks

Hello, the curently available mode is Pitch Hold that holds the aircraft at its current altitude. Just move the switch to the up position. Thanks

Hello, based onn the software version we are simulating, the hollow bricks is accurate for RWS contacts. Thanks

Currently, the INS is always aligned. Later on we'll add the full simulation of the INS and GPS systems with their indications. Coordinate entry is WIP. Thanks

Please see the video here: This is also explained in the Guide that came with the release today. Thanks

Please do not list multiple issues in one post. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=250800 Thanks

Hi Blow, Not yet, EEGS for now, LCOS a bit later. Thanks

Indeed, my mistake... too many videos in a short period.

Hi Max, The Viper is not carrying the larger flares. We will be updating the Hornet to carry 60 of the smaller flares. Thanks

Please use the thread here: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=250813 Thanks

Viper Launch Day! Welcome to DCS: F-16C Viper launch day everyone! The Viper will be released sometime today (Moscow time). The team is very busy setting everything up for both the DCS World e-Shop and Steam releases. As with all new releases and updates, the Viper will first be released in Open Beta. If you don't already have it installed, you can find it here: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/downloads/world/beta/ Once we are confident that there are no crashbugs, we will then move to the "stable" version (hence the term stable). Please also note that is very much the early state of early access! so there will be bugs and plenty of new features to add during the open-development period. This will be in parallel to the Hornet. Thanks and have fun! - Wags

DCS: F-16C Viper – Release Trailer On 3 October 2019 we will be releasing our DCS: F-16C Viper into early access. This has been a rapid development due to an incredibly hard-working team and the technology and knowhow created for the Hornet. Both products will now move ahead in parallel and benefit from each other. The initial release will be on the Open Beta version of DCS World. Later, it will be released on the “Stable” version. Thank you so much for the support and encouragement during this development! Please note that the pre-order discount will be ending within the next 24 hours.

DCS: F-16C Viper – Close Air Combat In this DCS: F-16C Viper video we’ll explore the basics of using the Viper within visual range air combat. This includes the EEGS gun funnel, the AIM-9 Sidewinder, Air Combat Maneuvering (ACM) radar modes, the Helmet Mounted Cueing System (HMCS), and the Dogfight Switch. This is based on a USAF F-16C Block 50 circa 2007 and may be a bit different than you are used to. This is specifically true with the Dogfight mode HUD as it has changed greatly in later years. We plan to release our Viper on 3 October 2019. As such, the 20% discount will end shortly.

DCS: F-16C Viper – Airborne Radar and AIM-120 Overview In this DCS: F-16C Viper video, it’s time to review the basics of the air-to-air radar. We’ll review Range While Scan (RWS), Situational Awareness Mode (SAM), and Single-Track Target (STT) mode. As the product continues development in parallel with the F/A-18C Hornet, we will be adding other radar modes like Track While Scan (TWS) and RAID/EXPAND. We’ll also look at the basics of using the AIM-120 air-to-air missile with radar guidance. This is based on a USAF F-16C Block 50 circa 2007 and may be a bit different than you are used to. We plan to release our Viper on 3 October 2019. As such, the 20% discount will end shortly.

DCS: F-16C Viper – One Day to Go! With just one day to go before release of our DCS: F-16C Viper, we wanted to remind everyone that the pre-order discount will also end tomorrow. Based on the Hornet, it will probably be over a year until we put the Viper on sale again. If you wish to purchase the Viper at a discount, you have less than 24 hours. Pre-order now and save 20% on our e-Shop at: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/shop/modules/viper/ Or, Steam at: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1090850/DCS_F16C_Viper/ Over our many years of developing aircraft, no other aircraft was as challenging to get the landing gear animations correct as the Viper. We believe the result is fantastic. Now that the landing gear animation is complete, our external aircraft artist is focusing on the external textures and creating a texture template that we can release after the Viper launch on 3 October 2019.

The art started about one year ago, but the systems did not really start until April of this year. Thanks

DCS: F-16C Viper – Targeting Pod In this DCS: F-16C Viper video, we will take a first look at the Litening targeting pod for the Viper.

Hey everyone, The Steam pro-order discount has been reinstated! Thanks, Wags

Dear Pilots! We are pleased to announce that DCS: F-16C Viper will be released on our e-Shop and Steam on 03 October 2019! Please note that the pre-order discount from our e-Shop will end then. DCS World e-Shop: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/shop/modules/viper/ Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1090850/DCS_F16C_Viper/ We have also been reaching out to Steam through multiple channels to extend the pre-order period, but we have been unsuccessful. We will keep trying. We are very excited to make this work of art available to you, and we thank you for your encouragement and support. We could not do this without you. Sincerely, The Eagle Dynamics Team

DCS: F-16C Viper - Startup Procedure In this DCS: F-16C Viper video, it’s time to learn the cold and dark startup procedure! This can be a rather long and involved process if you want to do it “by the book”, but you can certainly do a much faster, abbreviated startup if you wish. This video is recorded from the included startup interactive training lesson. We got the startup procedure done earlier than we expected (a few small items to still tune), so we have a few more videos to do prior to release. We plan to release the Early Access version sometime in early Autumn 2019 (Autumn 2019 starts on 23 September).

DCS: F-16C Viper - ILS Landing In this DCS: F-16C Viper video, we will learn how to use the Instrument Landing System (ILS) of the F-16. When enabled based on the ILS frequency of the airfield, ILS provides localizer (azimuth steering) and glidepath steering bars to bring you down to the runway on the correct course and glidepath angle. This is most often used at night or foul weather that prevents a visual approach. The ILS frequency of an airfield can be found on the F10 map view, in the Mission Editor, or often in the mission briefing. We plan to release the Early Access version sometime in early Autumn 2019 (Autumn 2019 starts on 23 September).

Hey everyone, To get you prepared for the release of our F-16C sometime in early autumn 2019, we are making available an early, work-in-progress draft of it’s Early Access Guide. This is being prepared by “Bunyap” and he’s doing a wonderful job (he is also creating the interactive training missions)! As we push to release, he will be further updating it and continue to update it during the development of our Viper. Please note that if you don’t see an item in the guide that you expect at release, it mostly likely because the item is still in work and too early to write it up for the guide. You can find it here: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/downloads/documentation/viper_early_access_guide_en/ We hope you enjoy it! Thanks, Wags
