Are you using stored alignment or full alignment?

Yes, it is possible. You can equip any weapon known to the SMS without physical hanging them. There are a lot of "hidden" menus in the F16

We use that function to test the launchers and bomb racks for example. It's a nice feature, but im not sure if it's a usefull thing to have in DCS

Well... that's how it goes in RL too. Never heard any pilot complain about it

i think its because you have used the wrong heading in CP/DP. You need true heading not magnetic heading. Anyway, go to the kneeboard page for the runway you want to land on and note the number next to the runway (this is magnetic heading). Now set UNI Selector Swtich to DEC you'll see a number now, iirc 6.6. The heading you need to enter is magnetic heading + the number shown in DEC which makes it true heading. And that's the one you need to enter

Besides the above, you also "pull" the target through the funnel while pulling the trigger, therefore you compensate for lack of precise wingspan

You might want to take a look at this video. It's from the F-18C but applies to the F-16 as well

I would strongly advise to boresight in the air. It's far easier to fine tune the mavericks to the same spot as the TGP. Yes, it can be done from the ground, but it's not optimal in DCS. Second Detent, does nothing for the laser. It's gun trigger only or camera pod recording. First trigger Detent is what you are looking for. On the laser page, you can change the "lase time", but I don't think it's implemented yet. Regarding the HUD, I think you mean MFD. The 2 screen above your knees. There is indeed a know bug regarding the brightness

Why can't you just be grateful that we are getting a Viper in the first place? It seems to be very hard to please someone nowadays... sheesh....

Another technique you can use is to put the target in the funnel, so that both wingtips of the target touch the funnel lines. Then pull the trigger and at the same time pull the target through the funnel. That way you can compensate for not having the precise wing span of your target

That's the CCIP bombing reticle Gun pipper changes over time through various levels: EEGS Pippers: - Level 1 = The gun cross - Level 2 = Funnel and MGRS lines (no radar lock) - Level 3 = Radar lock on target. 1G (+) and 9G (-) pipper appear with BATR symbol (BATR is small circle) and T-symbol to calculate for manouvering target - Level 4 = Funnel now bends with targets plane of motion, MGRS lines are removed - Level 5 = BATR symbol grows larger and becomes "Death Dot", put it over target hold for 1/4 seconde to stabilize and pull the trigger Hope this explains it a bit more

Norwegian MLU isn't USAF Block 50 which doesn't use this missile

Amen

SMEs were wrong before. So, thats why books are relevant.

No, sorry - GBU-10 (2000lb) is 28. in diameter at the airfoil group (tail section) - GBU-12 is 18 inches in diameter at the airfoil group (tail section) - Empty TER 9 is about 15 inches in diameter

I think part of these "problems" is that there are dozens of books (T.O.'s as we call them) about the F16 and all of it's systems, repair manuals, weapon loading manuals, inspection manuals, just to name a few. Also each component you mount can to the aircraft has its own workshop manuals aswell (think of launchers, weapon pylons, missiles, etc. These are normally used in the shops which perform the maintenance) I'm pretty sure that ED doesn't have acces to all of these book, so you can never model something accurate as in RL

Because in RL there are restrictions to certain loadouts or to what a specific rack is allowed / certified for carrying. DCS is not modeling this properly. Look at the recent to station 4-6 change to the HARM missile. They *should* change the 3x Maverick on 1 rack too, because in RL, firing the 3rd Maverick damages the horizontals. Yes, DCS is a simulator. But that doesn't mean they are right on every account and everything is modelled to RL. Also, not all clusterbombe have the same weight. Therefore some types can be carried as much to 3, while others are limited to 2

We (NL) use centreline tanks when pilots are training for BFM combat.

In DCS yes, in RL no

There is also a weight limit to what a TER rack is allowed to carry. 3x MK82 or 3x CBU 97 is a big difference in weight, therefore only 2x CBU's are loaded. MK20 is an exception, because of it's lighter weight

Then they "fixed" something that wasn't broken

And thats: Gaps between pylons and wing - Fixed In RL, the pylons and wing don't touch each other. The weapon pylons have bushings on top which create a smal gap between the wing and pylon

thanks

Hello, i started to go through the training missions, but this mission is constantly freezing. It hangs when it says "World Preload 1/60" at bottom of the screen. I then need to kill the application and restart DCS dcs.log

Thats not what i was saying... Those were specific demands which came later and is something different than the fact the F16 was designed to be a light weight fighter jet in the very begining The USAF and (later) EPAF countries later decided it needed to be multirole. You said you didn't feel like it to be true multirole in a thread where SDB's won't get added But we are getting a littlebit off topic
