There is also Thrustmaster F-16 grip, made of metal and very good quality : As for F-16V there are no knows plans to do it atm.

Watch this one, it explains how radars work, its long but worth it (rewind to start of the video):

It should be on the STP but if it is not press TMS (target management switch) Down once or twice, it will go to that steerpoint, also make sure your steerpoint is on ground level, if default altitude it will be up in the air, so type 0 at altitude setting in mission editor and it will be placed on the ground.

The problem with moving targets atm is that the SPI (sensor point of interest) does not update with TGP point track, it will stay on the spot where point track is first initiated, that in turn creates problems with Mav since missile will look at the SPI, which doesn't move, rather than follow where TGP is looking, at those moving vehicles. So you have to "update" the SPI manually, to do that you can simply TMS UP again on TGP so it reacquires the lock on the moving target, or just a move a tiny bit and it will update the SPI. That will make life a little bit easier with Maverick. Or move TGP seeker a little bit ahead and TMS UP. That issue is reported and the team is working on it.

Request has been made, maybe they will do it in the future:

That sounds like your engine is in SEC mode, if the exhaust nozzle is not moving. Is there a SEC light on the caution advisory panel? check throttle axis and maybe reset your axis for viper and hornet maybe its that, since you said that in tomcat it works fine.

There is something called Cycle Afterburner Detent - On/Off in the Viper and Hornet, check if some key or button is maybe bound to it, that is probably what turns your afterburner off.

Good idea, if it is possible to add tag for fictional and realistic skins, so those are separated. For example the Viper has 91 pages of skins (shown by 10 per page), that's 900 skins and many of those are fictional.

Yeah! I bought the Apache, flying it and it is great, but Viper is just much more interesting to me! and now with new tweaks and updates it's just perfect!

You can not change the bomb code while the aircraft engine is running. It is not a bug. IRL they input those codes on the bombs before flight, pilot can not change them from the plane.

Check if you have AB detent turned off, there is switch for that maybe it is bound on some of your keys, "Cycle afterburner detent - ON/OFF"

Yea it needs FC3, AA version is based on SU33, and AG version is based on SU25T.

I've tried Rafale mod, those ppl are doing their best but its quality is not as good as Raptor or Blackhawk mods. Would be more happy with official module if Dassault ever decides to show us virtual pilots some love as do to for their aircraft.

Watching them fly over Croatia these days

Wait, you are changing bomb laser code or TGP laser code? If you are changing TGP laser code it should work via DED, I don't know which steps you took. Post a short track of the issue so we can see what went wrong. If you want to change the Bomb code, it is done by kneeboard and it can not be done while aircraft is running, you either need to set the code in mission editor or change it via kneeboard when the aircraft is shut down.

Nice thanks, you learn something every day! that's why I love DCS

When I sit inside AH-64D I get this view: then if I touch zoom axis the view stays zoomed in, and the axis is returned to its starting position, Here is the zoomed in view after using zoom axis: It stays zoomed like this, I have the axis checked and it works fine. Noticed this behaviour on FC3 planes too. Can this be addressed?

I guess some extra stuff they could get lisscence to model, but not enough to step out of M4.2, just a guess tho

Yes please, axis was mentioned in the video.... not very usefull to have an axis bound on something we wont use other than start or shut down. don't know if they could be mouse scrolled?

My best results were when employing from the back then from sides, from the front it was overshooting. I lase them on last 10 or 12 sec till the bomb hits. Yes, the SPI doesn't update with TGP. When you point track a mover it will get stuck on a point where you initiated the point track, so in turn it leads you on to the wrong release point, that bug was reported already: What I usually do if I need to track some mover for a min or two I just move the TGP a bit then the SPI updates. Hope this helps.

Are we getting official campaign for the Viper? I'd love to see one, the Hornet official campaign is great!

That zip file is empty

If your plane is aligned correctly it should show up on your HSD. As soon as you store the data it will be in your system as steerpoint. sometimes pressing DED increment/decrement switch up and down (cycle through steerpoints) solves the problem.

Love to see the AI EU gen4 fighters as well.

It would be great to have Rafale, another EU plane, coming to DCS, it would make the sim much more diverse and interesting. EF is already making its way into DCS, altho I'm not a fan of the plane, that's really good and I'm happy about it cause its paving the way for other such modules. There are lots of youtube videos with view of the systems, even carrier recovery video and documents online, so sad that the french don't love us virtual pilots as we love their plane. Rafale is very popular, and I'm sure ED is trying to bring it to us, it would bring us all (ED and simmers) lots of happiness
