Iberian Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) EDIT: F-16 is still flyable at 1.2.12 but I decided to stop working on this project. Old chat topic: Would anyone be interested in a mod of flyable F-16A? To add a bit more variety to western aircraft flyable fleet. It will NOT affect any aircraft currently available to you. (It is standalone) There's two ways I can go with this: 1) Use a MiG-29G cockpit. This will allow use of all air-to-air missiles and also basic unguided bombing. The 29G cockpit allows the speed to be displayed in knots, and altitude in feet. Will require you to be owner of FC3 to be able to use it with this cockpit. and/or 2) Use Su-25T cockpit; this will limit air-to-air to only use Aim-9 Sidewinder but you will be able to use Maverick missiles and laser guided bombs for air-to-ground. (Since su-25T camera is forward facing, you would require a slightly shallow dive to keep camera lasing target for bomb guidance). Only DCS World will be needed. Or I can mix both in the zip file so people use which ever they'd prefer. Edited December 13, 2014 by Iberian 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Home Fries Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 I'd go with option 1. I figure that people who are willing to fly airframes with different cockpits and avionics are not "clickable cockpit only" types and already have FC3. -Home Fries My DCS Files and Skins My DCS TARGET Profile for Cougar or Warthog and MFDs F-14B LANTIRN Guide
Iberian Posted February 27, 2014 Author Posted February 27, 2014 How about this? F-16A air-to-ground only with Su-25T cockpit. (USA) F-16C Block 50 air-to-ground only with Su-25T cockpit. (Turkey) F-16MLU air-to-air and basic air-to-ground with MiG-29G cockpit. (Denmark, Netherlands, Norway, Italy) F-16C Block 52 air-to-air and basic air-to-ground with MiG-29G cockpit. (USA, Israel) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Iberian Posted February 27, 2014 Author Posted February 27, 2014 F-16C with Mavs and and Aim-9s using A-10C Pit :p I've tried using A-10C pit for 4 months...no success...only FC3 cockpits work with method I use. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
schroedi Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 A-10 A cockpit should work for a F-16 with Aim-9 and Mav. The F-5 would work perfect with the A-10 A cockpit because you could use all weapons the aircraft can use and the F-5 would have a western cockpit.

Hangman Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 I would like to use F-15 cockpit with F-16MLU and F-16C Block 52 how can I make this change?
Evilducky Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 instead of using the Mig-29 cockpit, you should have it using the Su-27 cockpit so you can use the LGB and Mavs as well as full air to air. Im pretty sure they would work.
dutch_camel Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 Thx Iberian, love flying the Vipers!! Great job.

dutch_camel Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 Oh, it's just the F-16 skin... It is because of these kind of remarks from people like you that people like Iberian are not releasing tons of mods ... It is so sad. I am very happy with the mod, was waiting for a flyable MLU for a long time now. It would be perfect with reworked animated nozzle and the extended tail, but now I am nitpickin :) :thumbup: If I had 3D-model experience I would gladly make that happen ...
Iberian Posted April 15, 2014 Author Posted April 15, 2014 Thx Iberian, love flying the Vipers!! Great job. My pleasure! Enjoy it! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Iberian Posted April 15, 2014 Author Posted April 15, 2014 I would like to use F-15 cockpit with F-16MLU and F-16C Block 52 how can I make this change? I could release one with F-15 cockpit, but it would only work for air-to-air. Activating air-to-ground used to work for basic CCIP bombing, but as of the last version it causes crash. I'll wait until the next patch is released to try it again to see if crash is fixed, and I'll release with the F-15 cockpit then. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Iberian Posted April 15, 2014 Author Posted April 15, 2014 Oh, it's just the F-16 skin... No, it's not just the skin. It is a completely stand-alone mod that will allow you to fly the F-16s using MiG-29 or Su-25T cockpit (for those who only have the su-25T can enjoy it too) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
badger66 Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 Wish there was a way to get rid of the canopy frame , be more realistic .
Einherjer Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 Move the pit coordinates further to the front and upwards
Iberian Posted April 24, 2014 Author Posted April 24, 2014 (edited) Move the pit coordinates further to the front and upwards Will do, and will also add a mission. :) Edited April 24, 2014 by Iberian [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

People still release a lot of this "skin" mods, look at lockonfiles.com and the ED file exchange. My comments aren't stopping anyone. There is nothing wrong with this mod or the many other mods like it. But a lot of people want the actually jet with it's own cockpit...not a reskinned one. :smilewink: No, it's not just the skin. It is a completely stand-alone mod that will allow you to fly the F-16s using MiG-29 or Su-25T cockpit (for those who only have the su-25T can enjoy it too) That's what I meant by saying it's just the F-16 skin. Mods like this have been out for a long time flying other jets using different cockpits. It's a Mig-29 or 25T with a F-16 skin. I'm not knocking your work, I just got happy when I saw the title because I and many others have been waiting for years for a flyable F-16. :thumbup: i7-4820k @ 3.7, Windows 7 64-bit, 16GB 1866mhz EVGA GTX 970 2GB, 256GB SSD, 500GB WD, TM Warthog, TM Cougar MFD's, Saitek Combat Pedals, TrackIR 5, G15 keyboard, 55" 4K LED
