m1tp2king Posted March 7, 2023 Posted March 7, 2023 Hi. I am thinking of buying F16 but I have 2 questions. 1) how many solo campaign or missions are there? 2) is the F16 simulation a complete game or is it a work in progress?
Exorcet Posted March 7, 2023 Posted March 7, 2023 The F-16 is not complete, but is very feature rich. It doesn't feel like it's missing anything unless you're really digging for a specific feature. As far as missions and campaigns, it doesn have as many as other modules but you can find stuff on user files to download: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/filter/type-is-single/unit-is-f-16c/apply/ Currently 166 missions. Awaiting: DCS F-15C Win 10 i5-9600KF 4.6 GHz 64 GB RAM RTX2080Ti 11GB -- Win 7 64 i5-6600K 3.6 GHz 32 GB RAM GTX970 4GB -- A-10C, F-5E, Su-27, F-15C, F-14B, F-16C missions in User Files

The F-16 currently does not include any free campaigns by ED, it has 9 single missions and 65 quick missions (but you wont see those that are for maps you dont have).

void68 Posted March 9, 2023 Posted March 9, 2023 Well, like Exorcet said... it's nicely simulated on first sight. But there are quite some unnecessary bugs that tear my hair for a year: TGP problems, Maves not boresighting, inprecise precision ammunition and lots more. Still it's a superb aircraft to fly - you should definitevely try it and join the band of the desenchated... the more money they got from us the more they owe us!

Hi, can you make a short track of the problems you are having and post it in the bugs section for F-16? I don't have problems you mentioned, we might be able to help once we see the track. In regards for missions F-16 has, official missions are about 6 or 7 and no official campaign which is disappointing since Hornet has more than 20 official missions and Official Campaign. ED said there is no plans for Official Campaign for F-16.

Thanks, but Maverick thread was already there, CBU-105 also. CBU-97 was corrected with last stable patch. Maverick is corrected with beta before the current beta but there hasn't been a stable release for months.

darkman222 Posted March 23, 2023 Posted March 23, 2023 Singleplayer mission will always be a limited amount. But if you play Multiplayer, the missions are limitless. I highly encourage everybody to start playing Multiplayer. You'll never go back to play SP missions again. 1

I tried MP for almost two years, eventually the social interactions became too much and returned to SP, no regrets so far. 2 For work: iMac mid-2010 of 27" - Core i7 870 - 6 GB DDR3 1333 MHz - ATI HD5670 - SSD 256 GB - HDD 2 TB - macOS High Sierra For Gaming: 34" Monitor - Ryzen 3600 - 32 GB DDR4 2400 - nVidia RTX2080 - SSD 1.25 TB - HDD 10 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Cougar Mobile: iPad Pro 12.9" of 256 GB
d0ppler Posted March 23, 2023 Posted March 23, 2023 I've also been playing a lot of multiplayer, but now I'm back to SP, with some occasionally mp missions. MP is not for everyone. My life with kids to be taken care of does not allow for multiplayer. When I play DCS I must be able to pause the game. 2 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
darkman222 Posted March 24, 2023 Posted March 24, 2023 Yeah, I totally understand that MP can lead to a lot of social interactions. Some people like it, others dont. Nothing wrong about that opinion. Not being able to use pause is a thing too. Just plugging in the auto pilot while brining the kids to bed is not gonna work I guess
Delta-canard Posted March 25, 2023 Posted March 25, 2023 Not yet there but there are dlc campaigns coming. Baltic Dragon is working on the Gamblers campaign (on Syria map), there's also the Weasels over Syria campaign coming from Ground Pounder Sims and, probably more distant, Reflected is working on the F-16 campaign for the upcoming Kola map. The Gamblers coming is actually one of my main motivations to learn the Viper. But I definitely miss the experience of the Mirage campaign blending training and story.

DCS liberation provides infinite linked missions as part of a dynamic campaign, each of which you can play SP or MP. Edited March 26, 2023 by Scott-S6 1
