DCS F-16C Dashing through the snow

[Highwayman-Ed]

This is a mission that I put together after having such fun with the DCS F/A-18C River Run mission.

 

The idea is the same, fly through all of the gates as quick as you can.

 

Faster than 10 Minutes = A Grade

Faster than 10 Minutes 30 seconds = B Grade

Faster than 11 Minutes = C Grade

Love this mission. Thank you for sharing it. It is a fun exercise that demonstrates inertia and the effects of speed and AoA on turning and roll rates. And it nicely shows off DCS graphics and weather effects. I'm using it over and over to tune my stick and throttle movements, and to learn smooth, purposeful control. Having a start-finish timing aspect makes it perpetually replayable, too.

 

In my sim racing days, it was fun and interesting to take different cars back to back to the same track to learn the power band and handling differences. Your mission nicely makes this possible for planes. I made copies of your mission for the F-15C and other planes (even did the P-51D--took 13 1/2 minutes). The F-15C is much more agile than it feels, I think because it's so smooth.

 

Tried to replace the F-16C with the F-14B. However, having followed the exact procedure that worked to substitute other planes, when the mission loads, it ends up just showing a map and won't enter the cockpit. Do you or others more knowledgeable with the mission editor know why this might be?

 

Thanks again for the cool mission.

 

EDIT: Actually, turns out I had a corrupt F-14B. Repair fixed it. Works great in your mission (though--what a handful).
