DCS: F-16C Reveal Trailer Released

[macrossMX]

At least the trailer confirms you can load up to 4 Mavericks with the LAU-88 rack. Now we have to wait and see if it can fully load 6 Mavericks as a theoretical wartime loadout.

I hope to see internal procedures and A-A / A-G avionics configuration for another trailer

I am guessing these types of video would come in Wags F-16 video series in August.

[Akatsuki]

Great trailer! :thumbup:

[The Falcon]

Considering the tomcat was retired over a decade ago what other alternative would you have him fly?

 

A desk?

An old F-14 obviously:megalol:

Actually, it's why I bought the dang thing! Seriously, I _was_ going to wait, for a long time; fixed income and all that...the irony

Just watching the trailer...again, and noticed some interesting stats.

 

F-14 Tomcat Launch Trailer : 5 Months, 76,000 views.

 

F/A-18 Hornet Launch Trailer : 1 Year, 119,000 views.

 

F-16 Viper Launch Trailer: 1 WEEK, 243,000 views!

 

 

As I said quite some time ago, am surprised it took ED this long - limited access to information maybe?

 

 

(Thou it is probably more the cinematography than the aircraft , aye GA;))

Viper Launch Trailer hasnt been released, as the Viper hasnt been launched, Yet. It's a Pre-Order Trailer.

 

AS for the Tomcat, it didnt really have a "Trailer", it had a 10 Minute Introduction Video, and a bunch of Randomly Released Cinematic Videos after.

 

Then you got to look at USN was the primary operator, w/ IIAF a sub-minor operator of the F-14A

 

Where as the F-16C, is currently operated by nearly 3 Dozen Countries.

 

712 Airframes vs Over 5,000.

 

There's gonna be a huge delta for response and interest in this Airframe vs the Tomcat.

 

The Same Delta can be applied to the Hornet as well.

 

 

Develop the Tech w/ Smaller Modules, Clean it up, Use it on Larger Modules.

My mistake - was just going off what my eyes read on the YT video thumb nails on the DCS page....

 

F-14 Tomcat "Launch Trailer"

 

F/A-18 "Launch Trailer"

 

F-16 "Official Trailer"

 

My humble apologies for pointing out how popular the Viper is. :huh:

Yeah, but I recon the F16 is gonna be hard act to follow.

I am very surprised at this.

It's been over 20 years since the flight simulation legend falcon4 was released, and there have been many f-16 fans.

dcs viper is of interest to all f-16 fans, regardless of their platform.

To be fair, the F-14 launch trailer "this is war", is sitting at 389,216 views from March 8 up until today.

And the first reveal video of the F-14 sits at 483,998 views from Oct 7th 2018 up until today.

These are the numbers from Heatblur youtube channel. :)

Thank you for providing accurate information.

But this F-16 video is also really cool, and a lot of users are watching it. Thanks to GA for making this awesome video.

[rome57]

These are two great modules by ED, and their videos. I love both aircraft and have watch these videos over and over..

Yep absolutely, it was just a simple observation from the DCS YT page alone - I didn't go investigating or scouring the web for specific video watch figures and my post wasn't meant to place one module over another. My avatar pic clearly shows my preference - but as mentioned around the web, this module will be like 'going home' again for many sim pilots.

 

I was just quite surprised the Viper Trailer had so many views after a single week, and similar popular module trailers on DCS page seemed like a logical benchmark. Even looking at your figures above you would have to admit achieving that number of views after 1 week is pretty impressive.

As I said - looks like the F-16 Viper is going to be a very popular module. :)

[SkateZilla]

Of Course the F-16 is Better, Iron Eagle got 4 Movies, lmao.
