In the video he clearly talks about the JA version, saying so multiple times. Why are you saying Viggen is abandoned? It has had constant updates, additions and fixes on every single update of DCS since it has been released. Here for example is the latest update for DCS (a week ago): DCS: AJS-37 Viggen by Heatblur Simulations Fixed issue where nav-fixes would be made after switching out of Maverick-sighting. Multiple fixes to FLI and ADI gyroscopes, amongst other fixing drift simulation and (mis-)alignment. Increased the strength of the Landing/Taxi light. Fixed weapon selector RR mode erroneously overriding take-off symbology. Fixed flares empty (FACKL SL) indication not resetting after re-arm. Fixed Brä 24% (FUEL 24%) not causing a master caution warning. Corrected RB-75 guidance for aircraft targets. The update before that: Fixed canopy position sync in multiplayer. Updated RB75 A/B/T (AGM-65 A/B) flight model and seeker behaviour. Fix to crash when dropping High-drag bombs. The update before that: Added Night Vision Goggles The one before that (nov 4): Fix to HUD shutting of in sidewinder fast select mode Added invisible FARP object. Single parking spot. Added Caucasus short-field training. Fix to CTD related to saved-games folder in non-latin script. You can scroll through the change log here: Changelog (digitalcombatsimulator.com) and see that updates and fixes has been constant since 2017.

I don’t think there is a difference in that regard when doing visual or radar fixes. It only depends on the current waypoint type (I e B1-B9 and I guess Bx1-Bx5 changes the computers idea of its own location, the rest changes the position of that waypoint). It’s easily testable in the game.

Wouldn’t you be able to just make a visual fix to set it to your current position? I mean turn off radar (A0) then make a fix (TV) and then correct with a radar fix (A1, T1)? Other than inputting the coordinates manually that is...

But you are not flying at 0 alpha are you? Look in the “Aerodynamics...” doc link above at page 61. It just needs a little alpha to have a negative momentum (I e Viggen has a pitch-stable configuration, unlike for example F-16 - see aerodynamic stability). As you also can tell by other graphs Viggen doesn’t have positive lift at zero alpha either so it will always fly at a little angle. The faster you go, the less alpha you need, so unless something is weird you’ll need to adjust trim forward as you speed up if you have achieved a stable trim at lower speeds.

Are you saying that the faster you go between M0-0.8 the more nose-up trim you need to apply?

It happens because you start TAXI (moving) before the ADI settles. It uses accelerometers to measure gravity to find where down is, and if you move while doing so the alignment will be bad. There's a flag showing if the ADI hasn't aligned itself yet.

The important question is did he have enough fuel left to safely land

Yeah and it's not even remotely as complex and feature-rich a module as Viggen.

Hi! Which of these aircrafts would you be most interested in buying?
