European Based 16th Air Expeditionary Wing Recruits F-16 Pilots Who We Are? 16th Air Expeditionary Wing is a small, but crucial part of CJTF-13 Batallion (EU Milsim Battalion). Battalion is aiming for the most realistic and immersive virtual experience in TAW DCS, featuring Fighter Jet, helicopter and Control Squadrons. We follow real life procedures as closely as possible, we use strict radio communications and train HARD to get to this high level of virtual flying! This type of flight simming is not for everyone, because it requires a certain type of mindset, fierce dedication and motivation to do it right. If you are looking for relatively short, action packed missions which can be played without much in-depth planning and preparation, then the CJTF-13 is NOT the right place for you. 16th Air Expeditionary Wing divides in two F-16 squadrons: RNLAF 313 “SCHERPGETAND” The RNLAF 313 Squadron is one of two dedicated F-16C squadrons within the Combined Joint Task Force-13 (CJTF-13). Although it is a multi-role squadron, the primary focus of the 313 is on air-to-ground operations. The squadron specializes in various air-to-ground tasks and tactics, including Destruction of Enemy Air Defenses (DEAD), strike missions, air interdiction (AI), close air support (CAS), and strike coordination and reconnaissance (SCAR). The 313 Squadron is adept at striking a variety of targets in different threat environments. PolAF 6 Fighter Squadron The 6th Fighter Squadron (6th FS) is a dedicated F-16 squadron within the Combined Joint Task Force-13 (CJTF-13). The squadron primarily focuses on Force Protection and Air-to-Air taskings. Specializing in tasks such as Combat Air Patrol (CAP) and Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses (SEAD), the 6th FS is proficient in defending airspace and neutralizing aerial threats. The squadron's expertise ensures it can effectively safeguard friendly forces and achieve air superiority in various operational environments. Our Schedule The CJTF-13 hold its weekly events on Sundays @ 1945 CE(S)T (Summer Time 1745Z, Winter Time 1845Z) and Thursdays @ 2030 CE(S)T (Summer Time 1830Z, Winter Time 1930Z) Our Requirements In order to apply for one of F-16 our squadrons, make sure you are meeting our requirements: Being PRO-ACTIVE, willing to read and learn documents and perfect your skills in your own time, outside of regular training events Able to fly in formation, and able to execute Air to Air Refuel (AAR) in fair weather Basic experience using Navigation, Combat Systems and Weapons Experience with using SRS (Simple Radio) and Basic knowledge of ATC Communication Able to execute an Overhead Break together with proper Airbase procedures Able to speak, read and understand english Using TrackIR or a similar system, or Virtual Reality Owning F-16, Syria and Persian Gulf maps (No Free Trials!) Among other requirements, this stands alone, as most common potential disqualifier: Our applicant must be able to attend at least 50% of our events in given month. We strongly believe, that consistency and tenaciousness are keys to success If you are unable to match few of those requirements, don't give up and make sure, that you are fierce in your willing to improve in short time with or without help of our instructors. Being able to learn is The quality, that we want to see in our pilots! How to apply? In order to apply, visit our discord and ask about F-16 recruitment for either RNLAF 313 or PolAF 6 FS in public chat.

EUROPEAN BASED - CJTF-13 - JOINT TASK FORCE (Fighter jets , Helicopters & Air Traffic Control) The CJTF-13 Battalion is aiming for the most realistic and immersive virtual experience in TAW DCS. We follow real life procedures as closely as possible, we use strict radio communications and train HARD to get to this high level of virtual flying! This type of flight simming is not for everyone, because it requires a certain type of mindset, fierce dedication and motivation to do it right. If you are looking for relatively short, action packed missions which can be played without much in-depth planning and preparation, then the CJTF-13 is NOT the right place for you. If you are looking for very realistic, in-depth planned events, where flying to the ‘AO’ means you may have to rely on Air to Air refuel to be able to make it there and back home, following the correct waypoints/altitudes/speeds to be ‘on station’ at the predetermined time (ToT), where the other Squadrons are a key part of the success of the mission at hand, then the CJTF-13 is THE PLACE TO BE!!! We create MDC’s (Mission Data Cards) where all important information is stated, then we import this into DCS so every pilot has the info in his Kneeboard Map while performing the missions. Maps we use: Persian Gulf , Syria , Caucasus , Marianas (Maybe other maps in the future) We focus on both LAND and NAVAL OPERATIONS in every mission, we only use full fidelity modules which are currently the F-16C, F/A-18C, F-15E and Helicopters. Note* our current active squadrons are as follows: F-16 (RNLAF 313) F-15E (494th FS) F/A-18 (VMFA 212) AH-64 (13th CAB) OH-58D (13th CAB) Air Traffic Control (8 Squadron) F-4 (526th vTFS) F-4 Recruitment thread: Helicopter squadron recruitment thread: Any upcoming modern full fidelity module may be incorporated as well. We are also open to recruit Air Traffic controllers. We are all very happy and willing to help you get the best and most out of your module of choice, but you are required to train on certain topics where you lack some experience by yourself, without us having to try and motivate you to do just that. This is the type of pilot we are looking for: A motivated and dedicated person who WANTS to be great in all things needed to perform realistic combat sorties, as perfectly as possible in a well oiled teamplay war machine. You need to bring the commitment and dedication to learning to excel in CJTF-13. This requires you to go out and look for ways to improve yourself, so when we actually fly missions together, we will all be at our BEST and only have to focus on the mission at hand and not on other things that may distract us from that. ################### The CJTF-13 hold its weekly Mandatory Event on SUNDAY’s @ 1945 CE(S)T (Summer Time 1745Z, Winter Time 1845Z). The CJTF-13 hold its weekly Training Sessions on THURSDAY’s @ 2030 CE(S)T (Summer Time 1830Z, Winter Time 1930Z). #################### The minimum requirements for joining the CJTF-13 are as follows: – Being PRO-ACTIVE, willing to read and learn documents and perfect your skills in your own time, outside of regular training events – Able to fly formation perfectly and able to execute Air to Air Refuel (AAR) in fair weather (for fixed wings) – In any helicopter, you need to be able to conduct a stationary hover pedal-turn to maneuver around tight forward bases. – Basic experience using Navigation, Combat Systems and Weapons – Experience with using SRS (Simple Radio) and Basic knowledge of ATC Communication – Able to execute a CASE 1 Recovery on a CARRIER; if choosing a NAVAL Aircraft - Able to execute an OVERHEAD BREAK and FAN BREAK together with proper AIRBASE procedures; if choosing a LAND BASED aircraft – Able to speak and understand proficient ENGLISH; Communication is key to success, we need to understand eachother – Using TrackIR or a similar system, or Virtual Reality – Owning the aircraft module of your choice and required maps. If you are interested in joining us please visit our website or join our discord and simply contact one of our recruitment officers (with CJTF Staff tag) Website: https://tawdcs.org/battalion/cjtf Discord: https://discord.com/invite/tawdcs If you had any questions , feel free to ask here or directly message me on discord: my ID tag is @catkovsky

The TGP sometimes changes brightness (or maybe gain or contrast, but the image gets darker) when switching between MFD pages on that MFD. It happens reliably (for me) when first starting a mission. It happens in TV, BHOT and WHOT modes. This occurs in VR, 2D, offline and multiplayer. Steps to reproduce: | start Caucasus Free Flight Main menu -> Instant Action -> F-16C Free Flight in Caucasus -> FLY | TGP Contrast up Press right MFD "TGP" [RIGHT MFD OSB 12] -> press right MFD Contrast Up/increase => This increases visual brightness of the screen, pressing Contrast Up again decreases visual brightness , I'm pretty sure this is already a manifestation of the bug | For obvious effect of the bug, increase contrast about 5 or 6 times total Switch right MFD to some other page, i.e. HSD -> switch right MFD back to TGP => TGP is now noticably darker Pressing Contrast up or down "resets" the brightness to the "correct" value again (pressing contrast increase brightens the image, pressing again darkens, as stated before) video_2025-03-26_20-12-53.mp4 Here's a short video demonstrating the problem. Note the brightness decrease after switching to HSD and back to TGP once at the start of the video. Before taking this video I did: load free flight -> press contrast increase 1 time -
Request to Implement PRF RWR Tones for the DCS F-16C
FlintMcgee posted a topic in DCS Core Wish List
Hey, can we get PRF RWR tones for the DCS F-16C? At least the ones that are available. The community has been providing them for a long time, and it would make a huge difference in realism and situational awareness, So it makes sense to add them officially. Even if some are classified, adding the ones we do have would be a solid improvement. There's already a great resource for these tones here: https://rwrsounds.com/radars. Hope this can be considered for a future update. Thanks!- 2 replies

Are you interested in learning to fly, fight and maximize your abilities in Modern DCS Jets? Would you like to fly fun and challenging cooperative missions as part of a team? Do you have a willingness to learn? We take beginners and we're patient if you put in the effort. If your answers are "Yes," then give the Virtual Armed Forces a go! The Virtual Armed Forces (VAF) is looking to expand its ranks with enthusiastic and motivated virtual pilots and RIOs who enjoy cooperative missions. The VAF has five squadrons primarily supporting three active airframes and one in an inactive state: 111th Fighter Squadron "Ace in the Hole" flying the F-16C Viper - Recruiting Pilots VFA-131 "Wildcats" flying the F/A-18C Hornet - Recruiting Pilots VFA-136 "Knighthawks" flying the F/A-18C Hornet - Recruiting Pilots VF-142 "Ghostriders" flying the F-14A/B Tomcat (currently inactive) 428th "Buccaneers" flying the F15-E Strike Eagle - Recruiting Pilots and WSO's We have openings available for our F-16, F-18 and F-15E squadrons. We don't expect Chuck Yeager; we're happy with Charlie Brown. We prefer good attitudes to good sticks, because with good attitude skills can be learned. We ask only that you bring a good attitude, a willingness use tactics and cooperate as a team, and the dedication to undertake our training syllabus. In return, we will provide our own individual attention to develop your skills. Additionally, we foster a fun, friendly, and supportive environment with no formal rank structure or command hierarchy. Our membership includes a number of civil and former military aviators, and we're all here to have fun! The VAF also boasts custom individual skins created by one of the more prolific skinners in the DCS community. Our comprehensive training program teaches you basic airmanship and 2-ship formation tactics. We focus on realistic training in our Student Undergraduate Pilot Training (SUPT) program. SUPT starts out with VFR flying, landing and take-off patterns, close formation flying and then moves on to IFR, Refueling and Weapons Training. Progression is at the student's pace and flight status is based on the ability to fly safe and to adhere to some basic operational standards. We recruit in small groups to ensure that individual training needs are met and that new members have an opportunity to get to know the group. We currently operate four severs one for training and three for missions. We fly most days from 3pm Pacific until 9PM Pacific. Weekends are throughout the day on our Dynamic Campaigns unless otherwise scheduled. Come watch the VAF on the Air Combat Sim Podcast: If you are still interested, please visit https://www.virtualarmedforces.com/ Please read the VAF rules and regulations and then apply by joining our Discord at https://discord.gg/NRaZbcK9nJ. -
Introduction SharkPlanner has started a MOD for entry of waypoints into ABRIS and PVI-800 of DCS Ka-50 attack helicopter. The mod enables entry of: waypoints into ABRIS/PVI-800/NADIR fix points (used for INU/INS corrections) target points (used for autopilot ingress, SHKVAL slewing and DL operations) review of elevation profile along route Meanwhile SharkPlanner supports additional modules... FAQ How does it work? SharkPlanner runs as a LUA script hook and is able to utilize DCS's native UI in order to deliver minimalistic UI without requiring external application. Does it break integrity check? No, SharkPlanner is not deployed in your game installation folder. Do I need binary/exe? No, SharkPlanner runs within the DCS, and as such does not require external tools to run. Which DCS versions are supported? Minimal requirement is 2.8 either stable or openbeta. Which airframes are supported? BlackShark 3: Ka-50 version 2022 BlackShark 3: Ka-50 version 2011 BlackShark 2: Ka-50 Combined Arms (only information gathering) Gazelle: SA-342L Gazelle: SA-342M Gazelle: SA-342Minigun F-16C JF-17 Thunder How do I report bugs? Open the issues, read existing open issues to quickly figure out if your issue is already reported, and if you find none create new issue. Please try to be precise and provide the steps for reproduction and if needed: screenshots if available links to video if available mission file if available (needs to be renamed into zip, I recommend my_mission.miz.zip) dcs.log, located at %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Logs or %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\DCS\Logs If you do not have github account you can post error report here and I will create the issue on github page. Installation instructions Download the latest release. The needed package is named like this: SharkPlanner-VERSION.zip Unpack the content of the zip file into %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Scripts or %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\DCS\Scripts depending on version of the DCS you are using. Start or restart DCS Usage instructions Start DCS Hop into your Black Shark Switch to F10 mode Hit: CTRL+SHIFT+SPACE You should see a crosshair in the middle of screen. Above crosshair the following buttons are located: Hide, Add, Reset, Transfer as well as label showing current and maximal number of waypoints. Use your mouse to zoom and pan to your point of interest, and use Add button to select your waypoints. Once you add at least one waypoint, you can click on Transfer button and SharkPlanner will start entering waypoints/fixpoints/targetpoints into ABRIS and PVI-800. It is recommended to do this on ground for maximal accuracy. If you would like to create a new route, hit Reset and go to step 5. To hide SharkPlanner hit again: CTRL+SHIFT+SPACE Removal instructions To remove SharkPlanner: Delete file %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Scripts\Hooks\SharkPlanner.lua or %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\DCS\Scripts\Hooks\SharkPlanner.lua depending on version of the DCS you are using. Delete folder %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Scripts\SharkPlanner or %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\DCS\Scripts\SharkPlanner depending on version of the DCS you are using. Restart DCS if it was running Kudos TheWay is a very cool project which enables entry of waypoints for a rather large number of DCS airframes. My initial motivation was to provide the ABRIS support as code contribution to TheWay, but ABRIS proved to be very challanging to implement within existing framework since coordinates entry can be done only non-numerically through dials. This limitation has resulted in large changes that could not be easily harmonized and tested with existing code base. Please note that TheWay remains to be the most comprehensive software for waypoint entry in DCS and is highly recommended to use for all other supported aircrafts. You can use both SharkPlanner and TheWay as long as you remember not to invoke transfer of waypoints at the same time! DCS Scratchpad provided the idea how to inject the UI and trigger it with a keyboard shortcut.- 69 replies

For the past couple of months I have been experiencing an issue with the Aim-9x on specifically multiplayer servers using the F-16 (in single player missions it works just fine). Even though I did all the steps in order for the missile to successfully engage the target, such as waiting for a good tone, pressing the uncage button, and then firing, it never tracked onto the target. It just flew forward and then into the ground. Does anyone know why I am having this problem and how I should fix it? -

When I flick the autopilot switch into Alt hold the plane will keep claiming or descending and ATT hold will also not hold an attitude of the jet. The heading and steering on the roll switch do work though. I have ruled out my HOTAS by testing with it unplugged. I have also tested my paddle switch. It works normally when I have the roll set to heading and steerpoint and deactivates fine when depressed and when released the plane goes back to the heading. When I just use Alt and Att hold the paddle has no effect due to the main issue. Fuel door is closed, gear is up, and trim autopilot disconnect is set to norm. The issue happens on hot and cold start so nothing with the alignment is causing it. The switch is also staying in position so the jet isn't turning it off either. Anyone got other ideas?

I have an MQ-9 lasing a moving target for a GBU-12 released from my F-16C, and for some reason the LGB always misses its mark by a few meters. I'm sure that the MQ-9 continues lasing the target throughout, because my TGP is in LSS mode the entire time and maintains a lock on the lased target without me having to establish a point track. Anyone know why this is happening? My LGBs have no issues hitting the targets if I lase the target myself, but that kind of defeats the purpose of having a JTAC buddy lase for me so I can egress as soon as I release my LGBs.

I was looking into modifying the color and visibility of the afterburner plume/flame (the part with the rings in it) on the F16 but I cannot figure out how to actually "point" to the new texture, I assume this is caused by the fact that instead of the game looking for the texture from the description.lua in the livery folder it instead generates it in the base f-16c.lua with the code I attached at the end of the post, my question is: Is there a way to change this texture per livery without breaking IC by writing a mod or replacing the base texture? engines_count = 1, engines_nozzles = { [1] = { pos = {-6.003, 0.261, 0}, elevation = 0, diameter = 1.1, exhaust_length_ab = 12, exhaust_length_ab_K = 0.76, smokiness_level = 0.05, afterburner_circles_count = 11, afterburner_circles_pos = {0.2, 0.8}, afterburner_circles_scale = 1.0, afterburner_effect_texture = "afterburner_f-16c", }, -- end of [1] }, -- end of engines_nozzles

Hi there, my question is kinda self-explanatory. I am a bit out of the loop regarding the F-16 flight model improvements. I believe there were *some* adjustments made in the second half of 2021, though I do not remember how significant those were. So, are more changes to the FM to be expected in 2022 or does ED consider the work on the F-16's FM to be fully complete by now? I am asking because I was surprised of how easily every single modern jet manages to get on my 6 in both 1 and 2 circle dogfights. I know the Viper is considered to be a great ratefighter (2C) and I *think* I am doing everything right, especially maintaining my speed, around 420-440kn in a sustained turn, yet I get killed over and over. I am by no means the best dogfighter, but frankly, neither are my friends, yet I always end up on the losing side whenever they get inside something different than an F-16. This is why I decided to ask here, hoping that someone more experienced would clear things up, as well as getting some info on the state of the Viper's flight model accuracy. Any feedback is appreciated!

missing info AI engagement with HARMs
Eagle7907 posted a topic in Aircraft AI Bugs (Non-Combined Arms)
I'm sure this is something somewhat incomplete, but very hard to ignore. I'm playing a campaign mission, which involves my flight being a SEAD role. All aircraft in my flight are armed with HARMs. My own engagement with the HARMs go without a problem. When I tell my flight to "engage air defences", all three break formation and fly the opposite direction of any targets of opportunity. They eventually just enter their own orbit and eventually give up and rejoin from about 60-80 miles away, of course using full burner. Something is seriously flawed here and makes SP SEAD flights a waste when there is more than two targets needed to be destroyed for a strike package to succeed. -
Hey there, I'm writing this post, as I thought some newer users may appreciate it, or a sort of PSA if you will. The learning curve involved with DCS, as well as learning your aircraft of choice is a massive task to undertake. As much as it is inspiring to watch a DCS YouTuber effortlessly dogfight your favourite plane or dodging SAMs, it is also quite daunting learning how to get to that same point of skill. Perhaps you've found yourself mixing your training between haphazardly referring to the manuals, scouring forums, and YouTube videos. You're getting to the point in which you've played most of the instant action scenarios and some of the free missions, and feel like you need to take it further; and the option of multiplayer seems more attractive. However, unlike dogfighting against computers, you're operating alongside(or perhaps against) humans, which can feel like a quantum shift. You may be considering online squadrons, but nervous about your skill level in relation to theirs. Believe me when I say this, the vast majority of squadrons love to have more people share in their hobby, and take great pride in training people up. The great advantage of multiplayer, and by extension online squadrons, is the added value of learning, community, and most importantly immersion. When I first considered multiplayer, I was quite apprehensive, but once I joined I never looked back, and my flight simulation hobby is vastly enriched because of it. Learning: This can be a sticking point for newer people, since they feel that they aren't adequately experienced, or not good enough for an online group. This may be counter-intuitive, but in some scenarios, being less knowledgeable and joining a squadron to learn can be better. Ultimately while you're in single player, you don't know what you don't know, whereas when you train with other people, they can immediately identify what you need to learn, or what's not going right. Most DCS modules are extremely complex, and frankly the learning process for all of us never ends; we're all just at different points in that journey. As a newer user, you will massively benefit yourself to join a squadron as they can tailor your training requirements. Additionally, many instructors enjoy teaching, and it further enriches their hobby. The core note here is that you won't be burdening anyone from whatever experience level you're starting from, and most instructors love to teach anyway. Community: This may seem marginally obvious, but actually having people to share in your hobby is great. Flight simulation, let alone the DCS community is quite niche, it's not like you can easily have fellow hobbyists down the road. Instead communities are globalised over the internet as we're all spread few and far in between. Thanks to platforms like Discord, the value of community within a flying group is far greater in which you can jump in and talk to your fellow squadron mates seamlessly. Since I've been part of DCAF, I have made some great friends, and I enjoy being able to share my hobby with likeminded people. Immersion: At the end of the day, the value of flying with other humans rather than AI can't be understated. Whether flying with a human RIO or operating as a flight(or both!), the immersion offered is unparalleled. I'm still always impressed when I'm part of a flight of four in parade formation, as we all collectively work together. Or when you all go into a mission, splash some bandits and return to the carrier, the sense of achievement at the end of it is exceptional, because you all had to work together and thoroughly plan what you were going to do, and reaped the rewards of it. I often find going back to single player scenarios feel rigid and too 'sterile' now, since the only human component is yourself. Like what I was saying over learning and community, flying as part of a group fundamentally enriches the hobby. If you're still unsure, feel free to contact myself either here (or Discord), as well as some newer members who fly with me. This can be a good opportunity to scope out what it's like to join a flying group. We're all part of DCAF(Digital Coalition Air Force): Me: Panny#2973 Vak(halfway through training on the F-14): Aisxos#8894 Deivid(also in training on the F-14): Deivid#3419 Brody(recently finished training and is a line pilot): brodyzach#1944 You can also visit our Discord should you wish: https://discord.gg/RrzuvXXd9M Otherwise, if you're interested in my group, I fly with DCAF(Digital Coalition Air Force) as an F-14 instructor, and would love to help more guys out. We also have F-16 Fighting Falcon, F/A-18C Hornet and AV-8B squadrons, who will be delighted to take on more people. You can read about us here: And here: https://dcafoc.wixsite.com/home Or jump onto our Discord!: https://discord.gg/RrzuvXXd9M I hope for those entering on their journey with DCS, this post can at least alleviate a few concerns about the online paradigm. Cheers, Peter

Hi. On the mission night life the ins alignment is interrupted by other jets taking of on the runway while the viper is parked on the parking lot. The jet is actually moved a little as well. This seems excessive. I have experienced this on other missions in multi-player as well. According to other players the wheel chucks don't help preventing this, but I haven't tested it.
