afbl Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 The strafe submode should be selectable via HOTAS with a long press of the Uncage button with any other weapon selected in the AG master mode. This performance exists in the actual jet and allows for a much easier and quicker way to get strafe called up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvsgas Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 AFAIK, HOTAS for Strafe (STRF) is a OFP M5.1+ update, which this versions of the USAF F-16C block 50 would not get until 2010 or later. Our DCS versions is a USAF 2007 version with OFP M4.2+. To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that. Thank you for you patience. Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true..

afbl Posted February 20, 2020 Author Share Posted February 20, 2020 I'd buy that, M5.1 was the first tape I flew, so I wouldn't know if it wasn't in earlier tapes. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frederf Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Strafe is in the missle step rotary with CCIP CCRP DTOS which I thought was an error but it's correct for some version of the F-16. I'm sure that the unacge long press was a later replacement for that. I think our version is after having to manually select it but before the long press. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_SteelFalcon_ Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 (edited) Reading Hasard Lee‘s book „the art of clear thinking“, he mentions the existence of a Throttle button to enter A-G gun strafe mode This function is currently not implemented i assume? dunno if quoting it is allowed so i‘ll hold off on it for now Edited May 25, 2023 by _SteelFalcon_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VarZat Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 I believe this is a long press of the UNCAGE switch, but its not implemented in the DCS F-16 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkman222 Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 (edited) I also know about that function. Would be nice if someone could verify that our DCS F16 does not have it. Because it is a super handy feature. **** Edit: The thread got a "planned" tag now. Thanks for adding that feature!

I would also LOVE to have that "shortcut", because I remember how many times I panicked, when I needed guns instantly, and was clicking like a madman on the MFD, and many times I couldn't clicked the correct button in that short period of time.

GrEaSeLiTeNiN Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 I don't think ED will budge on this if they believe it is not in their F16 modelled. But perhaps as an option under Special options? Or is it possible for someone to mod this? 2 AMD Ryzen 5 5600X | Gigabyte RTX 3070 Gaming OC 8GB | 32GB Adata Spectrix D50 3600 Mhz (16x2) | Asus B550 TUF Plus Gaming | 2TB Aorus Gen4 HOTAS Warthog | TrackIR 5 | My Files | Windows 10 Home x64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would expect that with the introduction of avionics, strafing wasn't anticipated to remain an important mode of attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
