My god, I've been waiting for the F-16 module for so long, as most of us have been. It's great to finally see it come to fruition.

Keep in mind back in 2008 VR was not a factor, so those cockpit models will have needed to be redone anyway, as can be seen in our current MiG-21 and others...

Of course, my point was that old pics has none reference to the new work.

oh wow - so the F16 has been in the works for over 10 years?

Not continiously and work has been pretty much restarted at one point as far as I know, but the plan to make a F-16 for DCS is more than 10 years old, yes.

I guess the most of the time is spent researching and gathering reliable and unclassified information? When you see what has gone and still going into the F-18 you can understand and respect the development.

While a very early cockpit and external model began work many years ago, this was all redone this year as our tech had radically changed. Avionics, flight model, etc. only started in October of last year.

 

Thanks

[Knock-Knock]

With todays news, I certainly feel the hype train coming, its rumble in my tummy.

 

[myHelljumper]

So .... like .... F-16 in September ?

 

Is this real life.

 

Also, my wallet was not ready...

[Revelation]

Think it is finally time to get a "DCS: F-16C Viper" sub-forum?

Early autumn 2019.

[Boris]

Wow! I honestly did not realistically expect to see the F-16 this year. Seems ED are getting much more efficient in their development based on the experience gained from previous modules.

[MrDieing]

Well. This was a bit unexpected, especially with the fuss about the 2019 comment on YouTube that our colleagues at Hoggit created.

 

 

Great news nontheless, my wallet is also not ready, but it never will be. Everything coming out for DCS must be bought.

Bank on October/November

Shouldn't have sold the Cougar... :music_whistling:

 

Well, there's no way I'm not gonna get the Viper, so, pre-purchase, here I come. :D

I hear that, gave one away years ago when I picked up a Thrustmaster Warthog. Maybe someone at Thrustmaster will have the intelligence to update the old Cougar and re-release it....

The current Cougar F-16 stick and throttle work perfetly well with the DCS: F-16C.

So u know when you’re at the Thrustmaster booth in a few weeks, Wags. It might just be worth, giving them a nudge in the right direction for a rerelease, revamped model. :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

[RightStuff]

Wanna buy mine? Including FSSB?

No shipping fee - especially for you! :megalol:

[RaceFuel85]

I still hold out hope Thrustmaster will update the F-16 TQS and re-release it with the Warthog stick as an updated F-16 HOTAS

 

 

I know, highly unlikely, but I still hope
