[WOULD NOT BE ACCURATE] MFD CMM -color moving map

[Geraki]

I would like to see for block 50 series to be implemented the color moving map

 

There is right now in Harrier in F-18 so I think it is easy to be implemented in Block50 too !!!

[Cupra]

There are versions of F-16 that have them.. but I do not think we will get the software state where they are implemented ;) They also exist on Block 25 and 30 jets…

The data exist and are available :pilotfly:

That is right, but is is implemented in the 2007 state from USAF or not?

It is not, if i remember correctly the displays the F-16CM Block 50 from 2007 cannot display color

Not a huge loss; i typically find myself completely disabling the moving map generally, its so bright and clutters up my display. Only times i find it handy are when I am double checking an airfield I am landing at...but otherwise it gets turned off ASAP. Instead, I try and just use visual references, waypoints, and the kneeboard

it depends on the aircraft. In the F/A18C yes you can't see symbology all that well when using the map.

 

IN the A10C you can see labels and other symbols perfectly fine because many of them are against a black backdrop. In the A10 i almost never felt the need to remove moving map

yes the CM's can display colour ..... since CCIP upgrades incorporated ( or rather standardized) color displays. You can even see various colors, most notably White and Blue being utilized on the MFD's within the WIP screenshots of the DCS F16 screenshots.

 

 

 

 

But whether USAF had implemented Moving map capability to displays that would be able to display it by 2007 I don't know. IF not.... then thats yet another lacking feature that makes the F16 feel somewhat underwhelming for a supposed modernization when contrasted to other contemporaries.

If the moving map itself would be readable, it would be nice. But all the western aircrafts has just terrible map and you can't make out that what you are really looking, where flying etc.

As far as i know, there is no F-16 except the newer model with the new MFDs including the 3rd centered MFD. Those can display a digital MAP. But i can be wrong here. All info i have is from official Lockheed Martin.

 

Thats a newer F-16 model.

 

Here is the official Lockheed Martin Information paper on the new F-16V for Greece.

It is official and open to puplic. Just a Information booklet. Nice read:

Wrong USAF F-16 block 40 and Block 50 have CMM

 

[MKev]

Wrong USAF F-16 block 40 and Block 50 have CMM

 

 

Good that means our F-16 should have it too.

[Slug72]

Wrong USAF F-16 block 40 and Block 50 have CMM

 

The videos show a Block 30 F-16D from the 182FS. ;)

 

Good that means our F-16 should have it too.

 

I thought it had already been established that no USAF/ANG Block 50s had a CMM display in 2007? :unsure:

[rome57]

IO hope Wags can answer this for us, I would like to know.

[Geraki]

I do not understand why ED must make his life difficult since the CMM occurred in A-10 and F/A-18, it is already a piece of code implemented and I think easily can be applied in F-16 too ...in order to have more avionics functions for F-16 block50 and is something that none other F-16 simulator has implemented yet....

Because they are doing a 2007 F-16CM. They want it to be as absolutely accurate as possible for a 2007 CM.

 

If you want a frakenviper of different years all mishmashed into one with no regard for specific year accuracy, there are other options.

Maybe ED won't, but the community probably will, considering what modders have already done with the Hornet to mimic the Lot 25+ Super Hornet displays.....

 

 

 

 

It probably won't be take long after a Viper release for some modders to code in a moving map

Then ED must stack ONLY in USAF F-16 livery too and not create other countries liveries since other countries block50 have CMM too if ED wants realism the realism must occur in avionics in other liveries too and not only in skins my 2 cents.....

 

 

I know that F-16 is a huge and very demanded project how knows maybe in the near feature will.....

The first thing I do in the F-18 is turn the moving map off so I would prefer it not there : )

One thing I won't have to turn off.

I do to, but that is because of how it is rendered. At least everything is hard to see or read when the map is displayed. Now take a look at the A-10C and I always have the map on. The contrast between the map and the text is far better.
