DCS: F-5E!

[Foka1]

In recent update Belsimtek stated that they need to translate manual for F-5 from russian to english. You guys know how I can offer them assistance?

[TomCatMucDe]

fantastic update! I hope the MiG 21 will be fixed before the F5 arrives. It is gonna be epic

[PSV_Tango]

Nice Update can't wait! Just a little thing that i notice on the model it missing a little detail around the canopy shape:

 

Amazing Job!!!

[Stratos]

[mattebubben]

I hope they have paintschemes for many different nations and not just aggressor ones.

Nice to hear that the documentation gets a bit more attention this time. Keep it up :)

[TomCatMucDe]

I cant imagine that the documentation will take another month!

[WinterH]

Wow great update, wish it was shared here too!

 

And while I want to fly F-5 today (nah, actually yesterday! :D), I commend Belsimtek for waiting to prepare a proper English manual as well as finalizing systems modeling before release this time. Thumbs up!

AFAIK your picture is of a F-5N and the detail/vent? looks to be date and/or airframe/date specific.

Yes you are full right mate, i didn't search enough. F-5N is just the renamed version of the Swiss F-5E Tiger II who have been modified on these part.

By Lino Milkau: Now you can release the F-5 :D

 

[Aginor]

LOL, manual done! :D

 

Thanks BST for the update, sounds good!

[Ramsay]

Yes, the F-5E looks good and a "must buy" for myself.

 

However I'll admit to being a little disappointed the cockpit screenshots show the ADI version we are getting lacks ILS (AN/ARN-127 T.O. 1F-5E-611), so am unlikely to buy a second copy as an advanced/western trainer.

Post above had same cockpit picture

[Kelevra9987]

Maybe there is a Stow-Switch of some sort like in the A-10 on the MNSP.

lol xD thats all you would ever need.

 

Atleast if they have a Auto Startup Keybind.

 

So yea go ahead and release it Belsimtek xD we have what we need.

Nope, its the ILS-less version :)). Look closer to the down right side rottary switch. The shape of the switch its different on the ILS version. And you can see from the in-game screenshots that this F5 uses the non-ILS one....

You don't need ILS when you have an ejection seat! :D

lacking ILS doesnt make it a trainer. :doh:

The ADI is different as is some other stuff.

 

 

I'll just have to fly it to decide if the F-5E or another module is better step up from the L-39. Though it would have been interesting to throw in the odd zero visibility landing for variety/break training up now and again.

 

At least with TACAN there should be more DME enabled airfields, while keeping the avionics simple enough not to get in the way of flying/fighting.

 

I can't find a example of a RWR and ILS equipped cockpit, so Belsimtek have defiantly modelled a more typical example.

Tidy up post - remove ILS/RWR photos

[heroe]

please please Belsimtek make the skin of the FACH Air Force of Chile, it is very simple and would make me happy !! :)

[Johnny Dioxin]

Does the F-5E have the same cockpit as the T-38?

 

If so, I have the excellent MilViz T-38 (in P3D) and can get all genned-up with that.

It's funny US Fighter jet Russian manual is ready, but keep going nice f5

May it have something to do with Belsimtek being a Russian company? :thumbup:

[Vitormouraa]

Excuse me, I don't know if they already said that but will they make the Brazilian liveries? thanks

[burnjp5]

If there is any need for proofing the English version for errors I would love to help!

*edit* The guide, that is.
