That program actually pretty much failed as they werent able to hook it up properly to the WCS and have proper guidence

Correct. But he paid for what was advertised. I don't buy a car and then go to my car retailer and ask for a new interiour and leather because I don't like the one I bought. HB has so much on their plate still to deliver that an english Viggen cockpit should be at the very bottom of their list. I get that it could be an option if they had nothing else to do.

Then why should a developer waste valuable resources and effort on someone who barely flies their module?

27R/ER also has a target G limit of 8G's. It's not a turner by any means.

Looks like its the DCS lighting issue. All aircraft seem to experience this issue one way or another.

What?

If you are losing to a Tomcat in BFM it is entirely YOUR fault and YOU not knowing how to fly your aircraft (or enter your fight). The Tomcat has a huge lifting body when clean, exceptional high lift devices and vortex lift. If you are flying a Hornet or Flanker, go one-circle with it, get it slow. Every plane can technically and practically win against any other plane if he fights his fight. Anything except a controlled environment (agreed upon merge and guns only) will lead to different results and is very dependant on the reaction time, SA and the pilots "skills" so to speak. You wouldn't want to merge in a Tomcat when you are facing a Mig-29 or SU-27 online, or anything with an HMD and HOBS missiles. Reality is, unless you really have the drop on someone or he overhoots without shooting you beforehand, a guns only scenario is fairly rare and I'd say almost never happens in any sandbox online environment. You also cant really control the weather or temperature of the environement you are flying in. What if it's mid summer and 40°C outside? What if it's winter and -15°C? There are far too many variables in a practical engagement that you'd find a practical application for any EM or performance charts. The Tomcat is also made for BVR and pre-merge engagements. You have all the tools you need to cover all ranges (the AWG-9, the Phoenix, Sparrow, TCS for VID far before the merge, good SA via datalink and all aspect Sidewinders). If you really think this sustained turn advantage which apparently only some external autopilot can fly perfectly gives you the edge against any other 4th gen you find yourself in the merge with then I don't know what else to say.

Well, the F/A-18 has a similar issue just not as much. Surprisingly the Su-33 (A FC3 module) doesnt have this issue on the carrier deck. If there's really no way for the carrier deck then fair enough but this then seems like an engine limitation.

DCS lighting has been messed up for half a year now. HB have adjusted the internal lighting, but it doesn't seem enough or even close to what we had on release. Pre 2.5.6 for that matter.

A video of what you are doing might help.

I actually speak 5 languages, russian included (no swedish however). You don't need to read the labels if you know what each switch/button does in each position. Do you expect a developer to unrealistically translate a swedish cockpit for you just because you are lazy and unable to learn a handful of phrases or words and remember procedures?

So? This is DCS. The Viper and Hornet radars overperform, until a few months ago amraams had the same issues as the phoenix. The Phoenix even with magic INS is a joke of a missile due to its trash ccm, which should be WAY lower for the C model. It's not like all those 3rd parties abandoned their modules (looking at you ED) and aren't constantly working on them. Especially for the Tomcat all the things you mention are planned. You forget this is Early Access and an open beta (more of an alpha, really).

Disadvantage is drag, advantage is lift and controlability at subsonic speeds. It's a fairly old design.

Nah, even from a standstill and below 15kts it requires significant thrust to get moving and when you go back to idle it pretty much stops shortly after. The low speed friction is way too high. The suspension is too stiff too (too few contact points). Wonder why the FC3 planes get all of this right?

As far as I know the A's had an analogue fbw system. But yeah the 16 might have been the first technically.

So, what else is planned going forward? Weren't the new custom sounds going to be adapted eventually?

The D cat didn't even fly by wire, it had DFCS which was a digital flight control augementation / stability system. Really, the first operational combat aircraft with FBW was the Flanker in the 80's.

Those ukrainian upgrades are only prototypes, which have not been adapted or purchased by anyone. It's still 80's tech.

I'd rather have proper AIM-54A textures. ;)

Again, you oversped the flaps. There is no perf. data in the aircraft performance manuals for those envelopes of flight let alone full AUX flaps deployed. So congrats, you broke it.

3 step guide to landing the F-16: - fly final app. at 11 DEG AOA - flare to 13 DEG AOA - aero brake until 100 KIAS (speedbrake fully deployed) After that full back stick and start applying brakes.

No. Why would it by default? It was never operated by anyone outside Sweden. Just learn some swedish vocabularies and you'll be fine. Know what the switch does and you don't need to "read and understand it".

We aren't getting the D, ever. The radar alone is highly classified, let alone the digital subsystems. HB hasn't even delivered a proper A more than a year in or fixed up the B to represent an actual B, so eh.

1% of fuel? This is where you lost all credibility. 520 kph (280 kts) is also way past Vfe, so congrats you broke the jet.

Yeah it is pretty sticky currently. Hope they can revisit the ground handling and suspension fairly soon.
