"No more generic SU-25 sound! The new update will make the F-16C stay the "main" version on mission, servers, loadouts, controls... while having the F-16 sound on all F-16 version!"

 

That's really cool.  Having the generic sounds is something that's been an issue with 3rd party mods for a long time.  I'd be really interested to learn how that was overcome.  It would certainly be a benefit to the entire community!

the main problem with MOD that they are using FC3 and that kill any custom implementation, you need to be in EFM level to have that else you need to overload Su25T/33/F15 sounds and it's tricky to find the exact names since they are encrypted (also may change even the used Module sound's too).

For those not following the discord or checking userfiles every day, here are some liveries I made for the Non Sufa variants of the mod
I am taking commissions with proceeds going to further developement of the mod

Nice, i hope someone will make this Livery for the F-16D  Yes i know, its very similar to the Isreali Livery with American insignia but it would be nice to have because the movie was cool

I'm confused, and haven't seen any details here...how is the CFT mod related to the SUFA mod? Are they both trying to achieve the same goal? What are the differences?

there is nothing related. i don't know the state of the CFT mod. but our goal ( IDF Mods Project ) is to have the most accurate F-16D\I simulation in DCS.

Better looking, better working, taking less fps version - 3.0 in short.
 

[Nightstorm]

I've made the display readability mod compatible for those that would like to try it.  The original files are included for both cockpits.  See readme.

This mod is awesome, especially since v3.00, but I have a (maybe stupid) question. How can I switch to the rear cockpit? I searched the Discord channel of the IDF project and of course this forum for information about it, but I couldn't find anything (or missed it). Also in the control settings in DCS I could not find a keybind to enter the rear cockpit.

In cockpit view, use 9 for first seat and 0 for rear seat. That's all.

Thank you very much.

Is there a way to get this mod to be AI only and not replace the existing F-16 and weapons?

It doesn't replace the ED F-16C. Since version 3.00 even the F-16C slot is not used anymore (in the earlier versions the F-16C was moved to another slot and the original F-16C slot was occupied by the F-16I SUFA). So now you can fly F-16C and F-16I/D side by side without changing the original F-16C. And the weapon replacement is optional. You don't need to use it.

[ruxtmp]

I don't own the F-16 module, but do like having the F-16C AI and the F-16i as AI for the Syria map. Not sure why it's not working then for me. All F-16CM bl.50 units don't have a model after installing the F-16I V3.1 mod. The F-16C bl.50 and F-16 bl.52d do have models but I cannot seem to get any of the liveries for the F-16C to work with them.

You need the official F-16C module by ED for using the F-16I SUFA mod. The mod doesn't replace the F-16C module but uses a lot of its systems (flight model, avionics, weapon systems ...). With the AI F-16C only the mod will not work, even if you just want to use it as AI.

[ruxtmp]

Thank you Ithronwise.

[SickSidewinder9]

Wait, I can install this along side F-16C now?!  Fabulous.  Have to check it out.

Can't install extra weapons without overwriting though?  That's weird.  That's just how DCS works, or what?

[ruddy122]

That's what happens

If you don't want that don't install it

Here's a sample breakdown

GBU-39(Early Stages) replaces Single AGM 154A

Iris T, Python 5 replaces AIM-9X

Spice 2000 replaces GBU-31/V3 or GBU-31/V4 and BRU-57 with 2AGM-154C

Hope it helps

Can someone help me? I installed 3.0 with OVGME and it works.. but I only have generic textures for all variants. Except for the Israeli birds. Did I miss anything obvious?

[Omer.d]

V3.1 is already available to download. you should have liveries for the F-16D bl50\52 NS 

[DmanGIV]

Yea.. I know there is 3.1 , but I’m on the road till Sunday so I’ll update when I get home. Is the livery folder included inside the MOD folder. I don’t remember seeing it when I installed 3.0
