Actually content creators have access to our DEV builds, the last 2 Growling Sidewinder featuring the JAS-39 were with a similar build, it is a good way of promoting the mod and not getting a billion questions regarding how to employ the systems on release day!

Hi @everyone here are a few screenshots of the ejection seat that will be available in our 1.5 release that will be out soon!

This will be addressed with version 1.5 coming out soon. Stay tuned!

It always does one, also are you on steam or the stand alone, beta or stable?

New patch coming soon. Meanwhile you can have a look at this GS video:

Version 1.0.1-beta - 09 June 2021 Added New RCAF livery by Megalax. New Czech 10 000 Hours by Jack ”Rabbit”. Changed Removed the mirrors in model. Removed the mirrors in code. Fixes CTD when you get hit. CTD when you eject. TODO Add keyboard command for brakes. V2 additions.

The whole cockpit is getting a re-texture, that will be addressed for sure!

Hi Everyone, If you are not already aware the mod will be released on the National Day of Sweden Sunday, June 6 2021. We are currently running a contest on the Livery Art Group so if you are interested head there: https://discord.com/channels/547961984658833408/831960050037555210/840685542689210392 Once we get closer to the actual release date I will update the first post and provide the download link. Cheers, Whisky

For those that did not see it GS did a teaser for us:

Hi mate, Join us on Discord we will have a chat, that looks very promising. Regards, Whisky

First post updated with new template Enjoy!

V1 will be a custom SFM. EFM down the road, but all the data is classified, so no promises.

Q: Do you have a release date yet? Not yet, soon do. The team is working hard for V1 release. Currently the AA model is done, we are now working on the AG model. Once the mod is more polished we will add information in the first post. You can follow us on Discord to have the latest information. Regards, Whisky

You can still d/l the VSN mod (https://filehorst.de/folder.php?key=drM4dWUf). The JF-17 mod was removed since the team started a new project check it out here:

JAS 39C Gripen Community Mod v.1.8.5 Download : https://github.com/whisky-actual/Community-JAS-39-C Discord Channel YouTube Channel Our team is passionate about aviation and DCS, and we wanted to bring the JAS-39 Gripen to the simulator. We started working on the mod in February 2021, and in a short amount of time, we achieved a basic FC3 module. We have put a lot of effort into the mod and have added several features to enhance the user experience. Our main focus has been on creating an authentic and immersive cockpit that accurately represents the Gripen's instruments and controls. We have also added unique weapons and made modifications to the SFM to make it as realistic as possible, taking feedback from Gripen SMEs into consideration. We are grateful to the Community A-4E-C team, Grinnelli, Freebird, Gonzalodesanta, Megalax, Isak, 313_Paegas, Krieger, and VSN Team for their support and contributions. Without their help, this project would not have been possible. We are excited to share our mod with the DCS community and welcome anyone who shares our passion to join us on Discord to learn more about the project.

Yes for the AA variant (F15) (not free) No for the AG variant since it uses the SU25T avionics (free) Q: Do we plan to make it a standalone? Yes, but no promises since we are still exploring the limits of development without the SDK. Q: Do we need a test pilot? Not currently, I will post here and in the discord closer to release. Q: Do we plan to have a D model (two-seaters)? Yes, but no plans for the 2nd seat to be active. Q: Do you have a release date yet? 6/6/2021. Q: Will the JAS39 mod pass IC? Yes, but a public server will need to have the same version for it to work properly.

@admins would it be possible to pin this thread? Thx!

You will need to run the proper .bat file. Read the Readme in the installation folder.

First link yes, the second you need the F15 or FC3

That's the JF-17 version : overwrite the Jeff files The F15 one (VSN) is here: https://filehorst.de/folder.php?key=drM4dWUf just put under your userfiles Just to be clear, most of the new stuff you see here is for the Jeff version. @Jerec, @Neon, @fatspacepandamaybe it's time to start a new thread with your work. Have someone maintain the first post with the known issues and links.

Depends, the F15 or the JF-17 one?

https://discord.gg/2Spb2URT See you there

Thanks! that did it... guess the python did not like the \ from the windows path and requires the / as per unix, weird :S

I mean run Gimp. Is the texconv.exe the only file required from the first link? Maybe it has dependencies on other files to run correctly? MS Visual C++ or DX9 (d/l and install DX) FYI, I am trying to open a BC7 DDS. Got the same error as Father Cool
