bill2502 Posted March 5 Posted March 5 I know it's not on the roadmap, but it should be. It would be very interesting to have the addition of the Leonardo ECIPS/CJS pylon (or similar) on the Vipers Block 50/52. It has been used in Europe for some time and is currently being employed in ongoing conflicts. This type of solution is much more common than SNIPER PODs in various situations. It would greatly help the availability of Viper pylons in DCS missions. 1

It's not on the roadmap because ED is modeling a very specific US F-16 which did not have this system, so we won't be getting it. It's the same story like for example the drag chutes, AGM-84, different RWRs, EW suites etc etc.

PIDS+/ECIPS+ have only been integrated onto the MLU birds (to my knowledge) M3 tape onwards. However, the USAF is acquiring PIDS+ with PAWS-2 for their F-16 fleet, but they have not entered service yet. Edited March 5 by NytHawk
