SkHiTech Posted May 27, 2023 Posted May 27, 2023 Hello folks! I was wondering, and maybe dreaming, for a future update program to be taken in consideration for our beloved F-16. It would be extremely nice to see something like this in the future. https://www.169fw.ang.af.mil/News/Commentaries/Display/Article/1695635/december-commanders-corner/ Above all the central mdf/display would be best thing for all VR users struggling with the viper's tiny MFDs... Who knows... :-) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Honestly, I'd be ecstatic if ED just added a 2007 era Block 40, which would be minimal work as it has the exact same software as the Block 50, only with the addition of the WAR HUD and the LANTIRN navigation pod with FLIR repeating on the HUD and terrain following radar. Of course, I would also love some PW engines and a pre-CCIP Block 40/42 like the ones used in Desert Storm... 1 -Col.

The CCIP block 40s cant use TFR either, because it was removed from the CCIP software

That is simply not true and there's plenty of documentation to prove that. You can see many F-16's around the world still use TFR and the whole idea behind the CCIP software was to increase commonality between all F-16's, not decrease it. I mean, you can even see the TFR page in the DCS F-16C, it's just INOP at the moment. But you're completely right that the Block 50 can use the NAVFLIR and TFR with the WAC HUD. The only issue is that ED has said that they won't be implementing the NAVFLIR for the Block 50, as it was not really used by USAF block 50s. Block 50/52's that were exported abroad however have been using NAVFLIR on the WAC HUD. 1 -Col.
