to summit up, You can carry (at least this version) one type of flare. With the latest update brings the "small" flares called M206! This update also changes the Viper flare count which is now 120, from 60. The only difference between the old MJU-7 and the m206 is the cartridge size. The 206 is smaller but as good as the old mju-7. The materials used in both are the same and burns the same at temp. and when you say small you only say the cartridge size. The flares are the same in diameter. Generally speaking when you drop flares to avoid IR seeker missiles you want to push throttle idle to differentiate your heat signature from flares, and hope the IR missile will lock on the highest temp. If you are already flying slow and low, than you are SOL.

you have to excuse my ignorance, and i hope it will not derail this topic, but i gotta ask, Have you read this post ? The questions you are asking suggest that you did not.

its time for a big update and fixes for the Viper

Hey, The recent update 2.7.1.6430 open Beta added the new "small flares to the Hornet, which is the TM-M206 Infrared Decoy flare used with the AN/ALE-47 "RWR" dispensing system, same in the F-16CM Viper. The "old" MJU-7 dual slot cartridge was replaced with the "new" TM-M206 single slot cartridge, and as effective as its predecessor, enabling to carry twice as much flares. - RedKite did a test reporting on the reduced effectiveness of the "new" flares. Note: the new flare, was introduced with the A-10C 2, the 50% increased flare capacity Just because its "small" it dosent mean its less effective. Here is a link to a datasheet for both the M206 and the MJU-7. https://www.tara-aerospace.com/TM-M206 https://www.tara-aerospace.com/MJU-7A-B p.s.: the Viper changelog dosent say, the new flare being used, instead: Countermeasures quantity do not match - Fixed .

yes you are correct. In late September 2006, Raytheon delivered the first Release 7 (R7) HTS pod to the US Air Force. It can autonomously detect, identify and locate radar guided threats at long ranges. It displays the target location to the pilot for HARM designation and firing. The HTS is fully reprogrammable and has been designed for high reliability/maintainability. The HTS allows multiple target track and greater target specificity.

and i hope we are using Agm-88C Block 5 harms. because we it was fielded in 1999. How about the agm-88D Block 6 ? it was fielded around 2005.

AN/ASQ-213 HARM Targeting System (HTS): In early 2005, the Air Force gave the go-ahead for an upgrade to the HTS, allowing several F-16s to "network" their HTS pods over a "Link-16" digital datalink system. This upgrade was to provide enhanced accuracy -- enough to provide targeting coordinates to a GPS-guided munition -- and also greater range. Although the HTS pod was originally mounted on the right inlet stores pylon, the upgrade relocated it to the left inlet stores pylon to free up the right pylon for a targeting pod. The upgrade automatically slewed the targeting pod's imager system to the location identified by the HTS. The modernized aircraft were redesignated "F-16CM. It can detect, identify, and target adversary radar and other emitters.

Im just pushing info out there, here is what Mover said - I hope to have ED look into this, Thank you. https://clips.twitch.tv/ManlyComfortablePeachPraiseIt-wtFGm_4VYWed-ied

I understand, but. Such weapons like JDAM etc. require gps to employ.

The first Block 50 F-16 was delivered in late 1991; the aircraft is equipped with improved GPS/INS, and can carry a further batch of advanced missiles: the AGM-88 HARM missile, JDAM, JSOW and WCMD. To my understanding the current F-16 in Dcs Wolrd does not have GPS.

Do this! Spot IR pointer, cool. > maneuver flight so that IR pointer is at your 12 oclock. > coolie hat up short, to se HUD SOI. > use TDC cursor and slew it to IR. > press TMS up LONG this will set SPI. > press China HAT FWD Long to slew TGP to IR. A simple task can be difficult if we dont understand the basics. Hope this helps. The A-10C requires you to fly Heads up, and not heads down, and h.o.t.a.s.

Thank you! :P

This is s solved puzzle. The stick has to be centered perfectly to engage autopilot. This can be achieved with dead zone. For example my stick is set dead zone 3.

I would make sure the receiver is placed firmly and make adjustments.

This aircraft Hotas doesn't work the way like the A-10c does. it's simply because it uses different throttles and stick. the answer is no, you cannot cycle the pages.

"Power for altitude and trim for pitch." - throttle management

Nothing wrong with AGM-65G . the only missile I'm using in MP. A-10c pilot.

Rockets in DCS. Launcher`s: - the LAU-131, would be a 65 lbs (empty) 7 rockets capacity (2.75 INCH/70MM.) launcher, using the Hydra 70 rockets. - the LAU-68, extended length rocket launcher, fires the same Hydra 70 rockets 2.75 INCH/70MM and 27 lbs heavier. Note, We also have the LAU-61, which is a digital rocket launcher that can fire guided or unguided rockets and is used by the US. Navy. 205 lbs and 19 rockets capacity, 2.75 INCH/70MM. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Warheads: Mk-5 HEAT: The Mk-5 is equipped with a High Explosive Anti-Tank warhead capable of defeating armored targets. Direct hit is required to defeat armored targets. Without a direct hit the warhead still maintains a blast and fragmentation effect on targets in close proximity. M-151 HE Fragmentation: Effective against all types of soft ground targets from infantry to trucks and other unarmored vehicles. M-151 rockets can be employed against light armored if required, but only with limited effectiveness. Let me know if I forgot something.
