** AJS-37 Viggen Update! New Afterburners & Features! **

Not sure what from these updates are included in yestreday's patch, I see a new A/B effect and model updates, but with the follwoing issues:

- the turbine doesn't spin

- the nozzle is not animated

- at full A/B there is a yellow texture that's a bit asymmetrical (looks like it's been skewed to the bottom-right)

- it looks like the flames inside the nozzle are spinning rather then emitting. On top of that, all modules have now adopted a small trick, that is to put a little bit of heatblur effect (no pun intended) inside the nozzle, when the A/B si lit. This could make the spinning texture effect less noticeable.

Wow! I've often felt the afterburner could do with tweaked visuals. Same goes for reducing canopy glare.

The one thing that isn't planned but which I desire is the ability to deploy flaps manually (not standard practice, but possible, and has been done intentionally by pilots on rare occasions).

In the real AJS Viggen flaps deployed/retracted with the gear.

So when will we get the full uppdate ? it feels like it keeps on delaying for every patch that comes out

It does indeed :(

Nothing from the devs ?

Wasn't the spinny boi supposed to be included in the last OB update?

Sorry to bang on, but in January 2017, Nick said the missing EP-13 brightness/contrast knob would be added.

Still missing!

You can use the keyboard commands though

And please add the magnetic declination knob animation too.

Thanks Ragnar, I always assumed as there was no keyboard command associated with that control, it wouldn't work!

Still, using modified keyboard commands is awkward in VR, so please implement this instrument soon.

OK, so now I'm confused.

In today's update changelog, it says that amongst the many Viggen updates - well done, guys! - that we now have 'Brightness and contrast control for EP13'.

P275 of the manual shows the position of the brightness/contrast control on the left panel (item 12), but it is still not there.

Has this just been implemented for HOTAS/keyboard and still not showing in the cockpit?

Also, as an aside, P24 of the manual shows the IR-RB FRAMSTEGN control to be the EP-13 brightness/contrast. This is clearly wrong. (I think!)

Just to clarify - as there is no mention - but the Viggen bug fixes & feaures that were supposed to be in the current stable DCS 2.5.3.23225 but were not, are now included in this latest beta? And they will go to the stable build... this friday?

This stuff is still not fixed. All of the "cheap" FC3 planes and even the excellent community made A-4 have these small "features/details/call it whatever you like" implemented yet full price study modules like this one (M2000/Mig21 come to mind as well) are still lacking in this department.

Is this so hard to implement? Is the F14 going to be like this?

Thank you.

Thank you.

Maybe all the cheap modules have these "small features" implemented, because they can spend so much time on it, since they dont have any "big features" to worry about. ;)

Maybe I'm just stupid but I really don't understand how this works. In the latest update there was supposed to be a fix for the sun halo in the canopy (among others), but it's still there. External texture updates were announced in several update notes but I still can't see any change. Maybe it's just me, but this update system is a bit hard to follow...

Did the updates not get through on the 24436 update? I still don't have a RAT, and the I did not receive the "RAT projecting through intake" fix either.

This is just .... :P

Very confusing indeed.

Very confusing indeed.

You are right … Very confusing indeed :confused:

seems like the viggen really dont get the love anymore

The update system of ED is very clear if you understand software development. What was a very recent messup was that the wrong stuff got pushed into open beta.

I have been following with half an ear recently as I haven't been flying hornet (semi-broken in open beta) or viggen (just busy with even newer toys). Things would be more transparent if the ED updates page mentioned which date the version was pushed to the customer base.

Has there even been a stable update for a good while? There have been problems in the hornet so ED hasn't been able to push stable releases that much. The viggen suffers even if it's OK in open beta because they don't go cherry-picking stuff from the open beta... which would be a little bit dangerous and really not worth their time.

Patience is a prerequisite for sanity if you are in DCS.

The problem with the Viggen is, that changes are listed in the patchnotes that did not make it into the actual update. :(

Are you on open beta or on stable? I am on open beta and there is a continuous stream of fixes and improvements. There do seem to be problems with the published changelog, sometimes it is incomplete and sometimes it lists changes that did not make it in the build.

Yes i'am on open beta
