Cheek mounted sensor pod station would be amazing to have just to free up the center line for a 800L tank. I have been enjoying the JF and appreciate that there have been additions to the aircraft. Does anyone know if the PAF uses Aim-9's or 120's from there F-16 fleet on the JF?

The M-346 would be a pretty great addition to the game especially the FA version.

I believe that the plan was to start with the German spec aircraft (since the Devs are former Luftwaffe) and then add other country specs. The Luftwaffe does not have the Pirate system but the RAF Typhoons do, which I feel would be the next model released after the initial release. However that was from the initial announcement and hype pre merger with Heatblur, so things might have changed. Personally I am ok with a franken jet if we can get a great simulation.

It is seeming more and more likely that the JF-17 may be purchased by Argentina in block 3 form. I know that in the past the devs have said certain features were contingent on Pakistans purchase, but with another export customer coming online could/should this effect the module that we have? I wouldn't mind having a HMD and HOB fox2 combo added to the JF, or hell just the 3rd radio to be able to communicate with two channels and still retain the datalink when working with non JF-17's and the chin mount for the tpod. Sounds like whining, but I do love this module. Took it out last night during tactical dcs's Tuesday event and had some fun being the scramble air defense fighter since I was able to get up in the air faster than the F-16s and F/A-18s. Just miss the ability to talk with awacs and the other flights while having the DL on.

you can get close enough with the JF-17, not a direct descendent but spiritually the same idea. its a fun little module.

Would love to know if there was anything happening with this dev team since they've been very quiet (minus the recent patch), I have enjoyed the JF-17 for a while and was wondering if there was anything coming for this year with this aircraft? I think we would all love to see an update to a Block 3 (WS13 or RD93MA engine) config or at least maybe the HMD and a HOB missile combo, but I understand the limitations of what can be released.

I have been working with the Tactical DCS group and participating in their training (both as a mentor and as a student). for aircraft like the A-10, F/A-18 and F-16 it is difficult to help new pilots out when we cannot see what they are seeing in the cockpit. we've worked around this through streaming and observing from their, but it would be helpful to be able to configure a jump seat slot onto an aircraft where an instructor/mentor can ride along in the cockpit and provide help in game rather than clunky 3rd party methods. Ideally I would prefer to have the option of an F-16D and F/A-18D for training new pilots (that is not a Mod) but I know that would be a large undertaking, so a virtual jump seat might be a good way of accomplishing this task with a lower resource commitment.

I would love to get a Block 1 F or late block D with multi-crew just for the multicrew aspect and being able to train someone in the same airframe.

funny thing I keep on seeing is the comments about not having pilot names in WSO AI. Is that when the USAF first got their Phantoms, the WSO was actually a second qualified pilot and not a dedicated WSO crew member. The concept of dedicated radar operators in USAF fighters didn't start till the middle of the vietnam war from what I recollect and it was more for spreading out the number of pilots and aircraft available than fighting force concept (which it turned into, and for the better).

I embarrassingly snapped the gear on takeoff a couple times last weekend during the spudsknocker mission, there was a bit a crosswind so it does not seem like the gear handles side loads very well. It's not a carrier aircraft so i wouldn't expect it to take tons of punishment, but still seemed a bit weak compared the F-16's gear (and that's notorious for being fragile).

This makes me very happy, behind the Tomcat and Intruder, this is one of my top 5 favorite aircraft of all time. Looking forward to what models you end up producing!

Interesting catch, but who knows. Hopefully we'll get something for lunar new year from Deka, but I am not going to hold out hope.

Has anyone figured out how to make the throttle detents go from Off/Idle to Mil/AB within RS Mapper? I am looking to turn the detent around on my warthog to be an AB detent rather than the factory Off/Idle, which is easy to do but I cant figure out how to move the virtual buttons from the bottom of the range to the top of the range. Also have been using the program and having a great success using it to make things to my liking, thank you for your work Avantar!

HMD, Chin Mounted Tpod and the New Engine would be great to have....would certainly close the gap on the F-16. some of the newer weapons would be great especially a HOB IR missile.

It would be helpful to have a built in tool rather than LUA manipulation and the FPS issues associated with trying to get exports onto a 2nd screen with medium grade gpu's (Currently have a 1070ti). Currently I have been using Helios to run a virtual cockpit while I fly and have done the usual steps to get the MFD's and what not exported to my 2nd screen. However I feel that there is a definite FPS hit to my setup from having to have a resolution of 2560x2520 (Main screen is a 32" 1440p screen and cockpit is run on 24" 1080P touch screen). It would be helpful to have a baked in way to handle exporting Cockpit MFD's and other scopes (radar, RWR in Particular) that would not have a huge hit on FPS especially given the scarcity of higher end equipment as of recent. I know that MFCD existed but that program hasn't been updated or supported in some time and so there is no other options than the current LUA manipulation method.

Cross posting from the F5 forum for additional help: Having a weird issue, I have my RWR working just fine, but my radar does not seem to want to go onto my 2nd screen (see screenshot. I have attached my Lua files and I am hoping that I am just missing something dumb. Helios.lua AN_APQ159_init.lua

@159th_Vigil Also check your firewall on your local network, I had issues with that even though my IP's were in sync.

Got mine and installed it in about 10 mins, soo much better!

Can't wait for mine, got the shipping notice yesterday! It will be so nice to have something I can actually be accurate with with the tgp.

Hi VR flyers! I have been exploring the idea of switching to VR for DCS and other games, but I have not been able to find the answer that I am looking for. I I've the immersion of a headset, but I want to retain the functionality of the sim pit that I was planning on expanding in the coming year (already have working mfds and DCS ufc on a tablet). I know that many devices have a "pass through" capability to transition from the game graphics to the "real world" but I have not been able to find any tutorials or articles on how to set it up so that when I look down I see my simpit vs the 3d cockpit. Any help would be appreciated!

I know this might be a fairly dead product (development wise), but is there anyway that you could add the code to get the FC3 Eagles RWR (TEWS) and Weapon Management displays to export. I would love to build a cockpit where I can have that on my screens and not in the 3d model, but the FC3 code is pretty lacking when it comes to that.

@Treker, The MFD/Radar screens are a whole different coding animal compared to the simple graphics and interactions the app currently supports. With that being said, Pet33r has hinted that he's working on it, but I suspect it will be a while before that functionality is added.

Couple questions, how much would you say it would cost to build one of these? And could you put a link to the panels that you used. I would love to build a trio for my pit!

Is it just me or does the gunsight look unusually large? I feel like it should fit inside the glass and be fully visible when in the default cockpit camera view. Is there a way to adjust this?
