F-16

[OnlyforDCS]

I don't know what it is about the F16, I like it's look. And it's the world's first true multirole fighter. But it doesn't exactly set the world on fire, not for me anyway. The bubble canopy is cool I guess, but TBH flying it is not going to be really challenging or difficult, except in combat where of course it will excel. Flying the Falcon in that other sim no one is supposed to mention, never really felt "real" for me I guess. I blame the fly by wire sytems. For some reason I hate the flight models of FBW aircraft. They are not "hands on" I guess, though I do enjoy Razbam's Mirage for some reason.

 

TBH I think the Tomcat is probably my favorite plane. It's huge, powerful, fast, and there is no digital FBW installed :) Though I guess there is some kind of FCS system like in the F15. Best of all, unlike the F16, it will most probably arrive to DCS this year! :D

[gavagai]

However, I believe that, for example, Eagle Dynamics, Leatherneck Studios, or RAZBAM is well-qualified to attempt the development of the F-16, based on their success with their own high-fidelity products.

 

I would prefer to see an F-16 from ED before a third party dev. No chances with the Viper, please.

+1...Im sorry for 3r parties but its the viper, it has to be the EDs state of the art product.

219.99$... Dream? Sounds more like a nightmare ;)

DCS does need F-16C module. Dynamics of F-16 are pretty well known, so having accurate flight model with accurate FBW Laws, and Advanced Systems Modeling, would probably not infringe on any classified data. But the radar in Block 50 and highter, ECM, radios,and NATO Link16 are kind of classified. SniperXR tgt pod is also classified. How AIM-9X works with radar and JHMQS is also classified. AIM-120C(8/9) and higher are way more capable in real life then what is modeled in AIM-120C by DCS.

Older (1989-1990) Desert Storm era Block40/42 or even classic 1980's Block 30 with APG-63 and Lantirn could be doable.

Again ?

Seriously, F-18, F-16, F-14 all in DCS would feel like I'm in simming heaven.

[v2tec]

Oh yeah, the good old times - flying the F-16 in falcon 4.0 with the dynamic campaign... almost ten years ago.

Block 10 and higher would have classified equipment. 1980/90 block 25 to 42 would be just as classified. Classified systems should not affect the creation of a F-16 module, if that is the case, how are we getting an F/A-18? Additionally, what does the AIM-120 capability, AN/AAQ-33, AIM-9X or JHMCS have to do with it as well? Lastly, block 30/32 never got LANTIRN (AN/AAQ-13 and AN/AAQ-14) AFAIK, they carry AN/AAQ-28.

Yup. F-16, dynamic campaigns, accurate flight dynamics and missile behavior, accurate AI tactics and several different theaters with stable and lag-free online for anyone to enjoy for the price of $5. True simming heaven.

To the wishlist....:music_whistling: actually none of them of short / medium time.

Yes, I saw those images long time ago but...just look at the date of them...its been almost 10 years, yes 10 YEARS!!!!:cry::cry:

[oboe]

I have purchased some modules but my fire hasn't really been lit yet. Pretty sure the F-16C or the Saab Gripen would do that for me.

 

I also think the pending integration between 1.5 and 2.0 will be very important to someone like me, who follows DCS with interest, but really have not jumped in yet. I would like to see the multiple versions situation sorted into a single unified version first.

[Silver_Dragon]

That is not a problem, BSK now has making a Mi-24 module. The main problem was ED make a little "roadmap" plans but was depleted by some different issues. The F-16 "project" has in ad sternum and actually no a "confirm" active develop.

[Oceandar]

And there's no single word for 3rd party dev about F-16 module plan AFAIK. If ED already planned to make certain F-16 blok and they've shut the door for other dev to make it, at least allow the other blok to be developed by 3rd party. I'd gladly pay for F-16A from 3rd party and Blok 40 or 50 from ED. We are talking about F-16 here, a very very very popular fighter. It'd make alot of money....

[craigt47]

Just get it done . . .it everyone wants it.. . Will I do!!! Lol

I think ED will make an F-16 module, once the development of a Ground Radar is completed for the Hornet.

 

The Ground Radar is one of the most important systems in the F-16.

 

I do not have much knowledge about the differences of the Ground Radar between the Falcon & the Hornet,

but once the technology is developed, I am sure ED will be able to adapt it to a F-16 module, if they plan to make it in the future.

Then isn't the F-18 the key because it has ground radar? ;)

Maybe!

OR

ED might not go ahead with the idea altogether, due to unknown reasons.

Who Knows.......... :)

[CHDT]

I would really like a very early F-16A, as much as a F-15A.

Not interest in spamraam orgies.

[Ala12Rv-watermanpc]

Due to the extremely high interest that the f16 arouse in the community I think it would be nice to get an official statement about it. It would be very healthy for them and for us.

[cichlidfan]

I am sure the statement would be something like "When we have something to say, you will hear it."

[Buzzles]

^^

We got something last(?) year saying it was still being worked on.

 

As per usual, they'll tell us some point after they start full production on it.

lol , you are right:D

[bulding]

yes

Absolutely a dream to have a module f16c,I just saw his escape this,He had stopped this project or in standby ??????Is that what it these since in 2008??????????????:music_whistling:
