The TFR/FLIR pod is not planned since it's not part of the block 50's capability and mission set. The HUD couldn't even support the FLIR even if you would mount the pod. The LANTIRN TGP however is planned to replace the LITENING in the future somewhere, though probably after the SNIPER XR gets released for the F-16

We don't know the exact reason why, but Eagle Dynamics had to remove references to Link-16 in modules and renamed it to TNDL, but it is still functionally the same as it always was besides how the updates effected it (just the assignments). Afaik it still is supposed to represent L16, but they just can't name it as such. It's changed only in name.

The Viper is notorious for having pretty underwhelming brakes so this is nothing to be unexpected. Why spend weight on something you only use during the time the plane is on the ground? The USAF always has access to looooong runways so they don't mind that one of their fighters actually uses the full length of that runway. Sometimes you need well over 1.5nm of runway length to stop, which isn't inaccurate when you still have a lot of fuel and ordnance on board. Now the lack of an antiskid, that is still an issue

not advertsised or planned F-16C official Campaign?
LieutenantFalcon replied to Furiz's topic in Wish List
Sooo, all paid and all on 3rd party maps so far. Not that I play campaigns much, but it is kind of a shame that the F-16 isn't getting a campaign for Caucasus (or Marianas) that's just included with the module like all other modules bar those released in the last few years have so far. The F-18 has had a campaign forever now as well, why not the F-16 considering it's much more feature complete than the F-18 was at the time it got it? -
I imagine both the community and ED would much rather do a new variant of the jet (older, newer, completely different block) than a 2 seater. IRL the role F-16Ds play in combat is pretty small compared to what other 2 seaters like the Hornets do. They're mostly used for training and familiarisation. As you said, what we have right now are 2 excellent mods, the F-16I and F-16D, that work well but of course are limited by them being mods. It'll just have to suffice for the few that mainly want to fly 2 seaters

Hell, RAZBAM found a way to do changing RCS for the Mirage. ED could collaborate with them on a global system

I would imagine that's a feature coming with the DTC/planner. Hopefully the first iteration but maybe it would take longer. Afaik, the HSD threat rings are integrated into the steerpoints (which is why you can select them), so there would be a finite number. Right now there is of course a way to exceed that number, so it wouldn't tie in correctly. How I'd imagine it could work is you use the planner to either make your own rings or to copy them over from a finite number of SAM sites you can select/prioritise

noted Lack of female pilot models?
LieutenantFalcon replied to buceador's topic in DCS Core Wish List
Sure it'd be nice to have variety so people can pick or have it randomized, but so far there's not even any internal model and the external model still wears incorrect gear. They'd have to get on that first. -
I have this issue as well, so I've just come here to dump some system info as well to get a fix figured out. System specs: i5 8400, RTX 3060ti, 32gb DDR4-3000 RAM, DCS running on OS drive (Samsung 980 pro). Fxo and Metashaders2 freshly deleted before these pictures. Screenshot 1 is settings, 2-6 are example shots.

cannot reproduce Why don't I get datalink?
LieutenantFalcon replied to Exorcet's topic in DCS: F-16C Viper
I might be wrong, but wasn't this only for the earlier implementation of DL? I recall TACAN restrictions being removed or remedied somehow -
In the final iteration of the DTC it should be a thing you can customise, yeah. Hopefully it will also be in one of the first implementations since it can't be edited in a file as of now and it's a very useful thing

F16 Ground Radar (GM) - How to build a clear picture
LieutenantFalcon replied to AngryViper.101's topic in DCS: F-16C Viper
Almost. It used to show black, but nowadays it just shows the non-DBS map in place of it. I haven't heard anything about vertical shift so I can't speak for that. That might be something to experiment with, but I don't think it's going to give you the same gains as horizontal shift -
RWR question from someone new to the Viper
LieutenantFalcon replied to Hobo 1-1's topic in DCS: F-16C Viper
Actually, do. These are an important part of the signals your RWR recieves too. This is how you get spiked by radars that are not even looking close to your azimuth and elevation
