TaxDollarsAtWork Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 I'm curious if other nations who operate the type will also be getting skins in game like for example Norway or Taiwan or will it be strictly USAF only skins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slug72 Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 I'm curious if other nations who operate the type will also be getting skins in game like for example Norway or Taiwan or will it be strictly USAF only skins? The final item in the Key Features list on the Pre-Purchase page states "Multiple liveries for the United States Air Force and Air National Guard, Air Force, Turkey, Greece, Israel, and others". I take that to mean that ED will include only Block 50 liveries with the module. There's no restriction as to what the community's own artists can produce though. i9-9900K @5GHz, Z390 Aorus Pro, 32GB DDR4-3200MHz, EVGA RTX 2080Ti FTW3 Ultra, Seasonic Focus+ Platinum 850W PSU, TM Warthog HOTAS, CH Pro pedals, 2x MFD's, MT deskmounts, Asus 32" 1440p display, EDTracker Pro Wireless, HP Reverb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaceFuel85 Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 As history shows...the initial skins will likely be USAF only Block 50 skins Afterwards as time goes on they'll add fictional, "what if" skins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_mu110_ Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 And for those that ED doesn't add, they will undoubtedly be created by community skinners. Check out my skins and mods on the User Files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donut Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 From what I have been able to find, the following USAF units have flown and/or still the F-16CM: 20th Fighter Wing, Shaw Air Force Base, S.C. (three squadrons) 52nd Fighter Wing, Spangdahlem Air Base, Germany (one squadron) 35th Fighter Wing, Misawa AB, Japan (two squadrons) I am not sure about ANG units, maybe someone has more information... There is also a new USAF squadron (24th TASS) that was activated in 2018 and is based at Nellis AFB which flies the F-16CM, but since the DCS F-16 is a 2007 version, I don't know if they would be included. i5 7600K @4.8GHz | 1080 Ti | 32GB 3200MHz | SSD | DCS SETTINGS | "COCKPIT" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Minnesota Air National Guard flies Block 50's as well, however they didn't get their Block 50's until 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
=Panther= Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 There is also a new USAF squadron (24th TASS) that was activated in 2018 and is based at Nellis AFB which flies the F-16CM, but since the DCS F-16 is a 2007 version, I don't know if they would be included. 24th TASS doesn't fly block 50s, they fly block 42s. The only GE powered aircraft at Nellis are the Weapons School Vipers (block 40s), which this will be the first class to fly the GEs as they just transitioned from PW to GE after the graduation of 19-1. In 2007 the following units were flying the block 50s: Twitch Channel [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Virtual Thunderbirds, LLC | Sponsored by Thrustmaster Z390 Aorus Xtreme, i9 9900k, G.SKILL TridentZ Series 32GB, 1080ti 11GB, Obutto R3Volution, Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog, TPR, Cougar MFDs, FSSB R3L, JetSeat, Oculus Rift S, Buddy-Fox A-10C UFC, F/A-18C UFC, Tek Creations F-16 ICP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donut Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Wow, thanks Panther! That should be the definitive list for the initial liveries that ED will hopefully provide. Thank you for the clarification on the 24th TASS as well. i5 7600K @4.8GHz | 1080 Ti | 32GB 3200MHz | SSD | DCS SETTINGS | "COCKPIT" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
