Nice to hear! :thumbup: Will you also remove the external fuel tank mounts from the IRIAF version since those don't have them?

5 months later, any news?

Have you heard about stealth?

Please make it so it never goes for flares and is datalink capable like the real thing. I don't want it to underperform like the AIM-9X we have in game. :music_whistling:

Yep, radar is totally bent since the last patch. Hope to get some words from HB on this soon...

Never had any issues landing it in the past either. :thumbup: Unless I'm deadsticking it in. :music_whistling:

Known issue and undergoing constant adjustements. Maybe they get fixed, maybe they wont, who knows at this point.

Did a few sorties yesterday with 3 successful and buttery smooth landings. No bounce whatsoever. Maybe it was improved maybe not, couldn't really tell.

No one is saying it's broken but it needs the last long-standing finishing touches to be in a "out of EA" state.

Even on max. brightness it is hardly readable during the day. Hope this gets fixed soon.

Wouldn't expect it this months due to ED's new monthly update schedule. Also no real previews on the A or Forrestal as was said by HB. I'll believe it when I see it in my DCS.

Hopefully the long awaited flight model changes and improvements to amraam guidence.

There are VOR's and NDB's on the caucasus map. You can tune both via the ADF - not used in real life but it's an option.

I think it's pretty sad we're more than halfway into 2020 and the Viggen still isn't finished. Goes to show you never should have two projects in EA at the same time...

Can you please quote said "actual pilots"? Because I am not aware of anyone commonly flying a 16C and F/A-18C at the same time. If anything they are probably refering to the 18A.

Yep. I dont know what's up with it. Been away from the cat for several months and now come back to this....

Ok, something broke RWS in the latest update, either the "ground clutter" broke it or jamming got somehow implemented or dead missiles are being picked up. Point being in RWS you now get a bunch of fake, 0 velocity contacts on the TID that you can't look when you hook them. They clutter up the screen and you lose all SA. This is happening while flying as a RIO mind you, TWS seems fine for the most part it's just RWS that is super broken and barely usable. Does anyone else experience this when flying as RIO in multiplayer?

Another month it seems

Been doing some RIO work today after the patch and the AWG-9 doesn't seem to pick anything up and barely holds a lock (both pd and pulse stt). I also get a lot of 0 velocity ownship track files on the TID in both RWS and TWS (see picture below). Whenever I have a good trackfile, hook it and hit STT it instantly loses lock, same goes for switching to pulse from pd stt. STT locks also seem to drop very easily for whatever reason. Easily reproducable on any populated MP server.

Yeah how is this not been fixed yet???

+1 Needs some serious adjustment for daytime. Seems like the new dcs lighting model is anything else but realistic if full brightness is barely visible during the day and the dimmest setting is still too bright at night. Like, come on...

There's also a bump-map mismatch on the same black-ish port where the gear locks into. The "cutout" in the bump map doesnt align with the said spot and is offset on the fuselage if you look at it at an angle. Obviously only livery makers would notice this :P EDIT: Nevermind, you already mentioned it. :D

Can you disable it in this latest update?

Sure.

It does have an early one just under the nose, if you look at pictures. However, IRST in real life depends on a lot of external factors, primarily weather and background signature. In a very denied ECCM environment and when stealth comes into the picture it does have its use given fitting tactics. As for the Typhoons IRST I think it's waaay too early to have any discussion on that given ED still need to revamp the weather and cloud system to properly interact with sensors and match clouds for every client 1:1. Anything else is literally pointless and just as unrealistic as the FC3 stuff. The 29's or early 27's IRST is really only used in BFM and WVR scenarios and never for any sort of known BVR search or acquisition, it's just too unreliable. If you get in a fight though or the guy doesnt see you but you see him, EO/IRST can provide good weapon cueing without him noticing. it can also serve as a backup for a jamming target since the laser range finder still works and the EO can cue a fox two.
