DCS: F-5E!

[ФрогФут]

Carrier Ops...

Maximum vertical velocity during touchdown for almost empty F-5E is less, than normal for carrier landing. You will get all your gear all over the deck before the hook is torn off, because the structure is not considered for such longitudinal G-loads.

That cockpit is looking great. Busy, but I quite like that.

[Wizz]

Next to the FA/18C (and Hormuz map), I am the most excited about the F-5E! It will be great to step into a fantastically able and accomplished aircraft that we all know Belsimtek will treat properly!

 

Bring it on! :)

ED and Belsimtek are very close at the hip. If I am not mistaken I believe some of the staff were once ED staff members that branched off. So you can count on proper treatment. :)

I hope it's the same treatment of L-39 and FA-18c. The L-39 and the FA-18c aircraft are the best treatment I've ever seen 3D on the DCS. I hope that is equal to the F-5E.

I've landed the MiG-15 on the carrier, are you saying i cannot make it in the f-5 even if the hook works?

[Sweep]

I bet you'll fall through the carrier.

 

Maybe one day you'll fall into the hangar bay so you can repair your gear! :megalol:

He's saying the hook doesn't matter because with an F-5, your landing speed for a carrier to be able to actually see it over that long needle nose would be so high, you'd rip off your gear first. Though even if you did manage it, the hook would rip off your aircraft anyway since it's not reinforced like the tailhook on a carrier aircraft. The hook is meant for runway arrestor gear, which inflicts significantly less g loads on the aircraft it's trying to slow down since it still has a whole runway to slow you down, think of it like a drag chute you don't carry with you.

Yes but none of that will be modeled in DCS I suspect, besides the long nose. And challenge accepted on at least getting wheels on the deck.

Yeah, you can slam the Sabre so hard ingame that IRL the gears would go through the wing.

Although I look forward to the F-5, I'm a little wary as it seems Belsimtek is very good at starting projects they don't seem to finish them. I'm still waiting for training missions and campaigns on the other projects I've bought and years later they are still considered beta.

yeah F86F is still missing 750 pound m117 bombs from its loadout ( m117s are already developed content withinin game, and will be available for the F5E module)

 

as well as a mk7 tactical nuke. The labs system for toss bombing is just not practical for non nuclear bombs.

Does anyone know what kind of countermeasures the F-5E-3 Will have?.

It has flare & chaff dispensers on the fuselage afaik, I don't know if can dispense them individually or if it has to drop flare + chaff as a bundle like the MiG-21.

The right answer is: AN/ALE-40(V). IIRC the same dispenser as A-10C has, but differnet variant.

 

You can dispense chaff and flare individually and together. CMDS (Countermeasures Dispensing System) has several programs for dispensing, which you can choose before flight (control panel is installed under fuselage). We are currently designing the way how the program will be chosen.

[ThorBrasil]

Cofcorpse the version of the 3D model is on the DCS 2.0 is with digital radios. The final version won't have these radios? Thanks and awaiting launch.

[cofcorpse]

The final version won't have these radios?

 

Yes, you are correct. We will have AN/ARC-164 UHF radio. We will correct external model textures. Thank you!

[mattebubben]

has any decision been made when it comes to what Aim-9 Variants will be Available?

BST's website mentions the P & B, but I'd love me some AIM-9J & AIM-9P4 (if it can fire it of course) too personally.

Edited February 6, 2016 by Custard

[mattebubben]

if it can fire any P it should be able to fire all P variants (including P4 and P5 all aspect missiles)

 

and since the P is based of the J i see no problem there either.

 

Im just really hoping they will have either a P4 or a P5 as options.

 

(together with rear aspect variants like Aim-9B,J and P3)

 

I hope for atleast one newer aim 9 (p4 or p5 both should be compatible) one old being the Aim-9B and one in the middile (either the aim-9J or a Rear aspect P)

[Guitrz]

What about the 4 radar operation modes? Could someone elaborate a bit on them? And how does the AIM-9s benefit from it? (for the AN/APQ-159, that is)

The F-5 has a soundtrack heavily influenced by a popular movie it featured in...
