Polish, greek and turkish block 50 F-16s have drogue chutes.

 

 

 

Perhaps.... USAF ANG block 50's do not... We do not have anything but that block..

I know and understand that the aircraft depicted in DCS is a USAF block 50 circa 2007 (if my memory serves me right about the year). I was just answering to G.J.S. who stated that block 50s don't have drogue chutes, when in fact there actually are blk50s operating with it in other air forces. As is with the A/B models (portuguese don't have chutes, while dutch models have).

Hello again,

 

the block 50 does not use a drag chute if you imagine the 50 as the base model of a car - customers can order the drag chute ‘as an option’ - but it does not come with one as standard.

I would like to see an option for a drag chute. Other countries use them on their Vipers, and since there's liveries for them, it would be nice to be able to have the chute as well.

Why not have the option in DCS if the option IRL obviously exists?

I am supporting Danny's wish, because he requested it as an option, but not as default.

 

Therefore:

What if it's the other way around? What if the basic model has the chute, and the customer (USAF in this case) chose not to add it? What's your source?

 

Blk 50s have drogue chutes, but this won't be simulated in DCS because we have a depiction of a USAF model.

Okay I’m done. Yes the 50 has a brake chute as standard, the chute release cable is down by the pilots knees right by the cassette player. You pull the cable and as a warning to other pilots in the vicinity, a brass band pops out of the chute tube after the chute itself, playing “Sweet home Alabama” at many decibels.

Yah. 

 

I'd say we should have a sticky in this section that says "The DCS: F-16C module is a representation of a USAF F-16C and will not include any of the hundreds of possible options used by other nations that operate the F-16" ... but I suspect it wouldn't actually help.
