    If its where i think (MSFS), for me that cant categorize as "its already there somewhere else", its normally just a 3D, a HUD, basic navigation and a poorly matched flight model.

    Yeah, we can't discuss other products here but just check out the videos, much simpler than ED would do it but not just basic stuff.

    Mere fact that Dassault didn't put lawyers on their back is definitely a step in the right direction.

    nevermind. in your video you were slewed to the bottom. but i never saw you designate. not sure if that matters. i think it does. how else would the JDAM know to put itself on the target.

    As far as I know in F-16 you don't have to designate, where ever you move your sensor that spot becomes sensor point of interest (SPI) and all your other sensors are slewed there.

    As long as you aim for the bottom of the target you are good to go, be sure to lase for 2 or 3 sec prior to releasing JDAM for better accuracy.

    Eurofighter does not use a PESA radar, it uses a traditional mechanical array radar, the ECR90, an advance version of the ferranti blue vixen used by the harrier FA2.

    Alright my bad,

    But still my point stands,

    there is lots of info out there on Rafale, is it enough I don't know. Rafale happened as official product in some other sim so I guess it will happen here sooner or later.

  4. Best is to post a short track of the issue so we can see whats going on and help if we can.

    When you do a cold start in the F-16 you need to reset datalink for it to work. List > Enter > 1 to turn it off and then 1 again to turn it on, maybe that is what is causing the problem. Just guessing tho but worth a try.

    Wow, how about reading things in context from previous posts. The point I was trying to make, irrespective of whether all of them or some of them use the AESA RBE2 or PESA radar is that they are both still highly classified.

    Nvm really,

    the point is that their docs is really hard to get, we all know that,

    but on the other hand we are getting Eurofighter with PESA probably and Meteor which is unbelievable but they say they will do it, and that is happening so why not Rafale F2 or F3 which would be just perfect for DCS even without R.

    Uhh thats bad....i saw on MFD but there is sometning like 52-55 rounds for the gun, but as i know m61 vulcan has 500-520 rounds....So how i need to count it?

    Its not the whole number, 55 is 550, 32 is 320 etc.

    1. Is F-16 has formation lights, like F-18?? because i cant find it ...

    Hi, if you think about those green stripes lights then no, F-16 doesn't have that. F-16 has red and green position/formation lights on the wingtips as well as on the fuselage. You can check that in the manual page 69.

    2. Is there a knobs into cockpit like "night" knobs in F-18, who turns on HUD and displays into night mode?

    There is HUD panel right off the stick inside the cockpit, on that panel there is HUD brightness control switch which sets the illumination.

    Guys sorry about dumb question but i`ve just seen the F16 roadmap and its almost finish, a lot of stuffs are green. Is green means "compelete" ?? Because i saw LANTIRN pod green colored at the list, but we still dont have it. 

    Yeah, some stuff if green colored but not really finished like GBU-24 Paveway III or HTS pod, I guess they cant get all the documentation for that stuff.

    ok so why we ll get more old TGP than newer one ...i mean, i think LANTIRN is older than LITENING

    Because Lantirn is what our F-16 was using, we are also getting SNIPER XR which is more modern than Litening as far as I know.

  9. It makes sense that sensitive electronics should be CAT III.

    But SMS page doesnt have cheek stations as far as I know so the jet doesnt know if it has TGP/HTS loaded.

    So when ag weapons are dropped stores warning is given cause the jet thinks CAT I should be used.

     

    As far as I know, in real life pilots have G force limits when TGP or HTS is loaded, and they dont go over those limits or they can damage the jet or electronics. Same goes with AG weapons. 

    CAT I or III are AOE limiters as far as I understand. We can still pull 9G in any configuration. But in DCS there is no damage to electronics.

    As a big fan of the rafale and the f35, I like this idea, however most people were aware that these aircrafts are quite new and fully classified

    Well there is more or less 13 year difference in introduction between the two, Rafale introduction was 2001 while F-35B was introduced in 2015, big gap there. But 2001 Rafale was F1 with no Air to Ground capability so my guess is that F2 version (which had AG capability) and onwards would be more interesting for the player base.

    Rafale F2 was first delivered to their airforce in 2006, as far as I understand, which would be most interesting I guess since its about the same era as our Viper, Hornet, F-15E suite 3?, Apache etc.

    As for demand, you can bet its huge for Rafale as it is for many other gen4 fighters out there but I guess for those planes it is very hard to get the documentation or it is too expensive to get the license. Either way demand is there.

    At the moment if you want fox3 capable or TGP capable full fidelity plane you have to go US or only other option is Jeff. MiG-29 coming and it is great but no fox3 or TGP, same with M2000C so modern era still doesn't have much alternatives.

    We can only express our wishes like this and hope for the best.

  11. There was a petition as well in this thread:

     

    Btw this other simulator has official Rafale so I guess it will come to DCS as well, but as DCS is much more detailed and realistic we will probably have to be much more patient. And I can bet it would be in top of the sales.
