Next F-16 Update ED to look at.

[STNGersk]

Hi Guys,

 

See below a few points I have done on my F-16, I have worked all this time to improve visuals of F-16 and fixing some points using textures and also a few points that I do think must be fixed and looked at in the future at some point!

 

Like Pilot 3D model and updating ED should work hard on F-16 as this iconic bird must be authentic and beautiful not only in real life but in our so loved SIM!

 

:thumbup:

 

 

 

I know we will have update along with F-16 new option to chose the canopy transparent or gold, pls can the canopy transparent be as the F-18 with same glow effect as per real F-16 canopy glow

 

In-game currently is just green texture that does not match real-life F-16

Fantastic work , but I cant help feeling there are more pressing problems with the F16 , namely Agm 88 and A-G radar . Without these it's not a true representation of an F16 and I couldnt give 2 hoots about graphical issues or discrepencies when we dont even have the frickin Harm !

I don’t have F-16 but that part that isn’t spinning is probably guide vanes. They aren’t supposed to spin, they are usually variable angle to smooth airflow or even reduce airflow to prevent a surge I believe

If you’re going to state something is wrong then please first research to make sure you are correct. The first thing you see on the inlet of the GE F110 are variable angle inlet guide vanes which prepare and shape the air to hit the first stage of compressor blades at a better angle. These do not spin.

 

 

I like you attention to detail regarding other things but I wouldn’t necessarily expect them to be fixed until the rest of the main aircraft features are complete.

This Real Life example is an A model, do you have any USAF F-16C block 50 circa 2007 examples?

 

This is a USAF block 30, do you have USAF F-16C block 50 circa 2007 examples?

This is a block 30 photo, but RL USAF block 50 circa 2007 does not have an LED, it is a normal light bulb, hence the filter is installed to have NVG compatible light. Same with both intake lights and all 4 "wingtip" light, all are normal filament light bulbs. The Anti-collision light on top of the tail is not a light bulb, the flash comes from a spark. All the IR lighting are LEDs, those are separate lights, you can see those LED above the green tail light (Actual name is Navigation light)

 

This is an A/B model intake, do you have a USAF F-16C block 50 circa 2007 examples?

Comparing a completely black picture to a photo where you can see details is literally what it takes.

 

Excellent research however. Just awild guess this should be in the Viper bug section...

I'm still trying to figure out what the black image is suppose to be.

 

It was in the Viper section and was moved here.

It's not black. I had to turn the brightness all the way up to see what's on the screen. It's the inside of the Viper's intake.

Ignore the real life picture and look at the ingame pictures with description.

So I still can make out anything on the intake image he showed on multiple monitors and devices. I went to look at it on my own PC and the fan blades are in fact turning. As already mentioned the guide vanes do not spin.
