Hello all!

Are they going to be any upgrades for the JF-17 soon? I read that Pakistan already have block 3.

I've been flying JF-17 for a while and everyday I'm still finding new stuff on it lol

Besides of that, any serious pilots or squadron who flies the JF-17 daily ?

I'm late but thanks Deka for your work and updates on the JF. It is one of my favorite plane ! 🙂

Flying around with Jeff I really wish for one thing - that it would have a cheek station for TPOD a la F-16. That would allow for more flexible loadouts.

There is a coin given to people who attended the maiden flight of block 3 and it shows a cheek pod, I’ll see if I can find the photo of it I saved

Not likely, tough I do hope that the current chinese manual will be translated to english soon  🙂

The Deka team is probably busy developing their next Module, the J-8 II

Interesting! I saw the manual but I didn't bother looking at all. I had a few times trying to search something but the translation was weird

I heard about it but I don't see any updates at all. Any redfor FF planes are welcome! Beside of the J-8, is Deka planning creating other module ?

What manual did you saw? ... there is just a Quick Guide in english language:

The chinese Flight manual has 336 pages, the Quick Guide just 63 ... DCS is a study-level simulator, so for me a proper Manual is kind of a big deal.

Doubtful, the effort required to develop a DCS Module makes it really hard to do several Modules in parallel.

I already knew the existence of those files but I took Chuck as a guide and some videos on YouTube. But I'm up for the complete English manual, that would help a lot!

 

I see, I hope Deka give us some progress work !

ChatGPT seemed to do a decent job of translating the manual. You'll need to give it a hint like "this is documentation for a module in DCS, the JF-17 Thunder. It gives details on how to use the fighter jet in the game. Please translate this to english."

Hey, guys. Would be great to have a possibility to set “up”(forward)/“down” (back) buttons for all three-way switches (like we can do in f-16).
For example, we have master arm/off/sim switch. I can press “up” one time, if I need to put it to the “master arm” position. I can press “down” one time, if I need to put it to “off” position. Furthermore, I can press “down” one more time, If I need to put it to “sim” position.
It could be truly helpful to set up my devices properly.

Is it possible to play on popular public servers with this mod?

It passes IC as far as I know! 👍🏻
To be honest. ED should just incorporate this in the core since this awesome community does the job for them. Kudos to Heatblur for adding these community keybinds to the Tomcat, and kudos to India Fox Techo for adding keystrokes to ALL of the keybinds in the MB-339, even if it lacks a lot of keybinds.

@uboats Why don't you guys take a look into what @Munkwolf already made, and just apply it to the module while crediting him?
Then IC won't be an issue for the Jeff in any case!

Cheers!

I wish that was the case but instead its this display with RD-93.
 


WS-13 for now has been postponed. More likely, the in dev WS-17 or 19 for J-35 will replace 13 and be offered, we don't know final name.

Hello everyone!

I'm wondering if the JF-17 radar will have an update, like the F16 and F18? I found out that the max range is about 80nm (look up) and 50nm (look down). I don't know if these parameters are correct, please let me know. Of course, I'm not asking for the AESA version hehe

Is there any way to share waypoints with the JF-17? Like the DTC-DCS or TheWayDTC ? For example, the mirage has a folder named datacartridge where you can place a miz file and the mirage will automatically recognize it and insert the flight plan in to the computer. I know the F10 and inserting WPT1 as label is a fast way to create waypoints but since I'm flying with a squadron, they usually have a pre-flight plan that already has waypoints for the F1-6,5,4 , M2K and they use the software that I mentioned. Another way around is inserting waypoints manually 😆

I wish, I believe that liberation mod does setup the waypoints for you, I have flown a few missions and they were already setup. Still, would be nice if I could make a 'dtc.json' and just load it like a normal DTC, just ask ground crew to load the 'blue' cart, or purple, or red, or whatever, something.

Hello,

my radio (ATC) is in Chinese. I change the skins and voices in the options, but it's still in Chinese. Any idea how to get them in English? Thanks a lot!

ATC language usually depends on the country that the aircraft is set to. So make sure to set it to one of the english speaking countries.

Lately I've been experiencing a weird bug whenever I adjust the MSL Volume knob midflight. The audible warning system goes insane and never stops giving me all programmed warnings "Bingo, Low Altitude, Pull up, etc."

Can't say I am able to figure out a pattern for it to happen just. Seems to randomly kick in and mostly when the jet is airborne.

Anyone else suffering from the same issue or is it a setting I need to tweak in the specials menu?

I know if you do the lights test button near all the warnings, you will get random warnings, I assume the test button makes it go through a BIT or something. Goes away after like 10 minutes or so. I just avoid pressing 'test'.

There is something wrong with the voice warnings. 
I don’t know how many times I experienced it suddenly running wild during taxi, or in flight, and go through every possible voice warning. No, I don’t have a double bind to any test buttons and while I have both hands on stick and throttle I can’t accidentally press anything in the cockpit. Unfortunately I play MP only, so tracks are unusable for Bug reports and as it is so random (as in it happens while not pressing or doing anything else then flying straight)  it don’t know how to reproduce.

New development.

 

Pakistan Aeronautical Complex has confirmed that the Russian RD-93 engine on JF-17 Thunder fighter jet will be replaced with Chinese WS-13 "Eagle" engine. WS-13E engine produces almost 100 kN (afterburner) thrust which is 20% more than RD-93 engine's 84 kN (afterburner) thrust.

Now we heard Deka say they would do WS-13E if it ever got added, let's wait and see.
