JAS 39C Gripen Community Mod

[Smax70]

I hope my issue is that I hadn't engaged the Master Arm switch. Other than that everything seems to be working. The Trigger and Trigger Cover are mapped and I have observed the Trigger Cover moving to uncover the pickle button. My modes are also mapped and appear to be working, along with the correct missile and gun symbology for each weapon selection.

 

  Thanks very much for the video and assistance!

It works for me:

 

perhaps you could describe in more detail what are the steps that you are following for using your weapons?

 

Are these training missions somewhere to use in DCS?

I did the same blunder in the beginning.

They should be included in the next release of the Mod.

Hi guys,

I've recently got back into DCS recently and it was largely because of this mod. I had started looking into DCS again after several years break and turned up some videos featuring your mod. The general consensus out there is that the Gripen mod is great. I didn't know much about the actual Gripen, but after looking into the aircraft I fell in love with the whole concept and execution of this fighter. So after the massive DCS install, the first thing I did was download your mod. Loved it immediately. So much effort has already gone into this and it looks like much more is to come.

Keep up the great work, I'm looking forward to the future development of this mod. And if you ever decide to create a fully fledged payware module of this plane, you can take my money!

Cheers.

Thanks for the kind words, makes all this hard work worth it!

RCS (radar cross section) of Gripen-C variant is based on some public data 0.1m². So its kind of stealtiy. Is that right?

I just did some tests with F-16. It`s radar can only see Gripen on no more then 32nm away when nose hot. For a comparision, same AN/APG-68 can see another "similar" jets F-16 and Mirage 2000 and also JF-17 over 40nm (40-45). 

DCS does still not distinguish the RCS between different load-out, I hope it will be implemented soon, thats quite an important factor in BVR engagements.

little bit of fun

SpamLraam killer Gripen

Great mod thank you !

I too am having issue getting any weapons to fire. I choose the Fox 2 with MIG29 simulation under quick action. Trigger is mapped, Gun safety, master arm, modes are mapped. Pressing keys for master arm, gun safety, close air to air, change weapon. I get the growling sound, a round circle in the hud, and the command to shoot. Nothing happens when I pull the cannon trigger or the weapons release.

Thanks a ton to the developers.

HI all, work continues on v2.0, but we have decided to have a v1.8.5 since developing these advanced systems (EFM, FCS and the RWR/SA) will require much more time. Therefore, 1.8.5 will contain many quality of life upgrades such as placeholder textures in the cockpit, a combined control scheme and @rudel-chw wonderful training missions and more. We are also adding the WVR (within visual range) variant that will utilize the SU33 avionics for its HMD (all variants will have the HMD, but fox2 targeting will only be available on the WVR). Since we have the HMD, we are upgrading our cockpit and adding the sensors as seen in the screenshot below. We don't have a timeline yet, but we will keep you posted on the developments here. That's all for now, stay safe and check six!

Same here.
Downloaded yesterday, flew 3 hours.
Fell in love.

Just had a few confusions in A2A when locking targets (on radar screen locked, on HUD not ...), but flying around makes me smile
Have to dig in deeper.
Funny to see how big the Viggen is in comparison with this small but powerful little bird. This can be seen in the Instant Mission with the Road base training.

Guys, please continue!

She's small alright. I always thought the F/A-18C and F-16 were pretty small compared to most fighters. But you put a Gripen next to an F/A-18 and the size difference is pretty significant.

Greetings @everyone, besides being the Swedish National Day and D-Day the 6th of June is also a special day for the Gripen Community Mod. It's been one year already since we shared with you the first version of our mod. During this past year, we have constantly improved it and we are very proud of what we have accomplished. Therefore, today we want to tease you with some of the new content that will be implemented. Firstly, we have the backlights and floodlights that will help you see your instruments when you are flying at night. Secondly, we are adding more clickable buttons in our cockpit including three auto-pilot modes and also the buttons for the FCR (Fire Control Radar). That's all for now, stay safe and check six and enjoy Sveriges Nationaldag!

[TOViper]

Can't wait for downloading & flying it! Keep it up Sir and sending 1000 thanks in advance!

[Nyaruko]

Feels good and beaten the ACE JF-17 AI!

Can't wait for EFM.

[Nyaruko]

Also,I have noticed that ASRAAM turned almost 180 degree to chase JF-17,Is that normal?

IMHO, the most perfect music for the DCS main menu loop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhUP5nGKUsQ&ab_channel=EpicMusicWorld

Already implemented the OGG file to my installation folder, what a blast!

Hi I am trying to create a mission but for some reason the AI , with an antiship strike mission will not fire the RBS-15 I have tried both versions including the one with AI at the end, under weapons in The group attack advanced waypoint i have tried Auto and Anti Ship missiles any ideas?

Just a small guess (but TBH not knowing about this module too much so far): have you applied the role "Anti-Ship" for this group?

Yup and also set the advanced waypoint action weapon type to both auto, didnt work tried setting weapon to anti ship missiles, guided missiles not on missile fired which is wierd .

[impreza]

In this moment... Has it any trouble with Typhoon mod?

Hi all,

I have edited some training missions for the users that are new to this Mod, you can get them here: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3324687/

Best regards,

 

Edit: Please, if you find any bugs on these missions, please report them on this other thread, so that we don't derail this topic too much:
