BuzzU Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 I was just comparing the missions between the Hornet and Viper. I just have the Persian Gulf map. Adding in the maps I don't have may make this better or worse. Others will have to answer that. This is how it looks for Caucasus and Persian Gulf. Hornet.....69 missions and 1 campaign Viper.......6 missions and no campaign. How is this fair? btw.....Instant missions are pretty equal. 5 Buzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayhawk1971 Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 (edited) I agree, the Viper could really do with additional, mod-free SP content, not to mention another campaign (so far there's only Bunyap's Red Flag campaign).

BuzzU Posted August 18, 2022 Author Share Posted August 18, 2022 Finally, someone agrees. Thank you. Buzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunnar81 Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 (edited) Agree with the mod free statement above. I have finally been trying to really learn the F-16 but all the player made campaigns require modding which I am not particularly interested in. Where's all of the DCS content wizards at for the F-16? Edited October 10, 2022 by Gunnar81 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedlo Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 (edited) There are several official F-16 campaigns underway right now.... Not two weeks away, but they are in production! In the meantime, here are some of my free missions in the user files section. Give 'em a go, I think you'll find them worthwhile: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/filter/unit-is-f-16c/user-is-SEDLO/apply/ PS, no mods required.

KenaiPhoenix Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Thanks! I was about to ask the same question. I already finish the included missions in the module and the other campaign requires to buy a map that is really expensive. Good to know there are several ones coming. Lets hope at lest one is on the base map (or at least something more affordable) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedlo Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Keep an eye out for the 50% off sales. Maps, more than modules IMO, really can expand the content available. My Youtube Channel MY DCS MISSIONS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the F-16, if I were a Campaign creator, I would set it on either the Persian Gulf or Syria .. Nevada if it were a Training Campaign .. never would I use Caucasus for it.

Besides the lack of NATO bases the Caucasus is fine. Just imagine the current Ukraine situation, but switch Ukraine for Georgia. You'd have plausibility for either US involvement or the US lending F-16's to Georgia. Although I have other issues with the Caucasus map, like size.

skywalker22 Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 This! I was always wondering why is F-16 so underrated compared to F/A-18 in regards of missions and campaigns. Still couldn't come to the conclusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the Hornet had a several year head start for mission builders, compounded by the Viper launching without enough functional systems and weapons to really build out a complex campaign with. In 4 years or so, the Viper should have about any many mission as the Hornet does right now. 2 Oil In The Water Hornet Campaign.

d0ppler Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 I agree 100%. That's why I created my own Viper campaign. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3328036 The argument that the Hornet had a head start doesn't work anymore. The Viper has been functional the last two years, still no Viper Campaign. I've lost track of how many Hornet campaigns that has been released the last two years. Besides, DCS liberation tends to favor Hornet/Tomcat, unless you have a monster PC, because all their dynamic campaigns are either small and naval based, or huge land based, where you could use a Viper. 1 A-10C, AV-8B, Ka-50, F-14B, F-16C, F-5E, F/A-18C, L-39, Mi-8, MiG-21, MiG-29, SA34, Spitfire, Su-27, Su-33, UH-1H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The viper is actually a very capable and mature module, i can't understand why there are so few ppl interested in create campaigns for it, free or not... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glide Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 In User Files, the ratio for missions is 3 to 1 Hornet over Viper, and for campaigns it's 4 to 1 Hornet v Viper. FYI. The Hornet is still more popular by those stats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
