  1. I find them difficult to read aswell. Im not on VR, but i am using a dual screen to render the MFD's on the other screen. Both are identical 27" AOC screens with exactly the same color settings and still the screen i run the MFD's on are far darker than the cockpit itself (which is also to dark, compared to RL) Even when brightness set to full, its hard to make out. In RL, the MFD's are far better to read than what we have in DCS.
  2. a lot of those things (except PPT's) can be programmed in the JF17 aswell. It also uses a DTC and after making those points on the map, you can use the radio menu to ask the ground crew to update the DTC after you ejected it from the DTU. Then you need to reinstall the DTC after the update and reload the new information.
  3. As long as you can see the target visually and put the pipper onto it, while maintaining a dive of no less than ~16 degrees the bomb should hit. Minimum altitude is more important, because of the arming time of the fuse and blast radius
  4. I'm not trying to make an argument, not at all. Hence my first post in this topic was to complement your post towards OP And i'm not making assumptions, i have acces to the books myself. Besides, i have loaded the missiles myself for a couple of years, so i know for a fact they DO work
  5. yes, its possible. Even for the "old" AIM-9 launchers, also known as 16S210 series missile launcher Only exception is the AIM-9X which requires the LAU-129 launcher
  6. CCRP alows for higher (level) altitude drops, which is generally safer if there are MANPADS and AAA around the target area CCIP delivery is the most accurate method of delivering unguided munitions, but in order to be precise, you need to be in a shallow dive, thus putting you in harms way
  7. Or you can manually input coordinates to create your own steerpoint or designate a target with your TGP Works fine for me in both SP and MP
  8. Just a friendly reminder (a friend of mine made the same mistake) The set itself contains frames with push buttons only. It's not an actual screen with pushbuttons around it, but yeah it does work with DCS edit: You can see it more clearly here: https://www.sicomputers.nl/thrustmaster-mfd-cougar-pack-joystick-pc-zwart-id-458388.html?gclid=Cj0KCQjw6-SDBhCMARIsAGbI7Uhdm3TwC5Ji-Su4GAzkiBCH3yyuAER642c4JZgtsWudQ18qklx8DfEaAsV9EALw_wcB
  9. It doesn't state it anywhere... Steam and DCS Webshop: "Few other aircraft can match its versatility, maneuverability, firepower, and huge production numbers." However, it's still a work in progress and this is the part people seem to forget all the time.
  10. Simple solution... don't buy early access than
  11. The interface between missile and launcher is exactly the same for all aim9 missiles.
  12. If you want an easy life, find an easier game and not a full fidelity flight simulator
  13. With all due respect.... The F16 is one of the easier planes to start. It's a matter of a few mouse clicks.... that's it. When clicking a handful of buttons is too much work, then I don't understand why people are in a cockpit in first place...
  14. Aarhus, Denmark and Washington, D.C., 17 January 2020–The NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA,) has recently awarded a contract of an estimated value of EUR 74 Million (84M USD) to Terma Denmark, for its customer U.S.N.G and the F-16 System Program Office (SPO).
  15. There is a Danish company called Terma, which builds/modifies pylons. I think only the European Vipers fly with those pylons and those are very different than US Block 50 we have in DCS. It's an 80's development, but general use is from the last years as well Like mentioned in other threads, just because they are all F-16's doesn't mean you can just bolt stuff on it and expect it to work
  16. It won't disengage by itself, but ircc you should disable it at around 60kts during takeoff

    There is literaly a thread above yours asking the same thing.....
  18. Which means it was used for the first time in combat. It was able to be deployed from certain aircraft before that date. (not specific F-16) You don't go into battle without certification or test phase, just to see how things work out. It doesn't work that way with aircraft, civil or military So, technically it *could* be possible, but it's depended from what software was in use by that time
  19. That's a BRU rack. A TER rack it not wired for those munitions. TER-9A and BRU are the type of bomb racks, not the bomb itself, which in this case is a GBU-38 or GBU-54 if it has both laser and GPS guidance
  20. the first F-16A had much smaller horizontals than later versions
  21. It's a Strike aircraft, designed to attack ground targets. Unlike the F111 Aardvark, which was designed to be a fleet defender About the F designation: "USAF fighter pilots required to fly the new aircraft were more easily attracted to an aircraft with an "F" designation for fighter, as opposed to a bomber ("B") or attack ("A") designation"
  22. Because in combat sorties, the Viper flies with 2 bags of fuel on sta 4 and 6
  23. You have probably enterred dogfight mode
  24. Indeed, EPU check is late on the list, but it's the first thing I check when I get near any F16
