Dear all,

as always we're happy to present you the latest patch, most importantly including a fix and overhaul for the collision model - aka no more sunken tires. Our apologies it took us a bit longer as usual this time. A special thank you also goes to @JonathanRL - who ever so kindly helped us fix the Viggen Red Flag campaign, and in doing so not only fixed the bugs, but also improved it altogether. We are very grateful for it!

Before we let you all off into a merry holiday season with our best wishes, we would also like to announce that @MYSE1234 and @TOViper have joined the Heatblur Team, to help us in our efforts for the Viggen and beyond. We're very happy to have two of such outstanding Viggen community members on board.

Now, what remains is to wish you all a Merry Christmas and/or Happy Holidays, we hope you all will have a great and festive time with your family and loved ones, and ofc: we wish you all plenty of time to fly DCS!

As always, thank you for your continued support and kind feedback!

Your Heatblur Team

This is really great, Heatblur supporting the efforts of DCS Community members, I'm extremely happy for them ... and thankful for their contribution to the Viggen.

 

Just tested the patch and not only the landing gear works now better than ever, and looks more detailed with its brake pipes and stuff .. I also enjoy the fact that now the Viggen Track files work perfect, couldnt have made this video without that improvement alone:

 

 

Best regards and thanks again for such a wonderful product. 🙏

How very nice the datacartridge or datastav looks...

 

Agree, it is a nice touch ... makes one wish for the animation to be a bit slower in order to see it better 🙂

It is still not possible for me to bind "clickable mouse cockpit mode" to a mouse button. Is it just me or does anybody else have this problem?

 

By default, you can only bind that command to keyboard and joystick, headtracking and mouse are not implemented.  You can use the Quaggles utility to add the Mouse binding to your install, like this user, @virgo47, did for the Mig-21:

Hi guys! Haven’t checked the open beta version but in stable version landing gears of the aircraft are below the runway level. Thank you for such an awesome module.

upd. Sorry I should’ve checked the last patch description

In openbeta the player’s Viggen was fixed on last patch, however the issue persists for AI aircrafts.

there are three minor issues I'd like to make Heatblur aware:

  1. the landing and taxi lights switch has 3 positions, from forward to aft they are: landing, off, taxi. but currently the landing and taxi positions seem to have no difference in terms how the lights are on. both settings would put out a straight light beam forward, which I assume is the landing light position.
  2. the number pad 0 for the CK37 computer has no animation when depressed.
  3. the CL filter (red colour night filter) for the radar scope has a "misalignment" issue when changing it from fully green to fully red. the colours of the scope and the "base" of the scope don't always change their colours at the same pace. correct me if I'm wrong: I'm not sure if this is the intended behaviour. but since the light source of the display come from the same illumination device, like on a CRT screen, I think this should be a bug.

The actual Viggen is fitted with three landing/taxi lights. A 50 W taxi light is mounted on the nose gear strut. Two 250 W landing lights are placed on either side of the wheel well on the nose gear, like this:

The landing lights are controlled by the switch STRÅLKAST. Clicking on the switch will toggle amongst its three positions:

 

• Aft for TAXI.

• Center for OFF (FRÅN)

• Forward for LANDING (TILL)

 

Sadly this item is not fully simulated yet, as on both taxi and landing positions only the 50W lamp is working. Also the switch is not textured and is unlabeled. Hopefully Heatblur will hear our plea and finish this item  👍

 

  • Thanks 2
