DCS: F-16C Viper by Eagle Dynamics

Hey guys, I can't make F-16C lock a bandit. Radar seems to work but never get a bandit locked, with or without TMS buttons.

I have seen youtube tutorials uploaded a year ago, but today I couldn't follow them to the end because my Viper can't lock bandits on the hud.

Sto testando finalmente gli HARM, e con mia grande sorpresa ho scoperto che un mix di SA11 e SA15 rende assolutamente inutili (o quasi) gli HARM. In sostanza i SA15 li abbattono come mosche, mentre i SA11 tirano liberamente.

 

Sono veramente così efficaci i SA15?

Sono stati inventati anche e soprattutto per quello,sono point defense. In DCS si possono fregare usando tutto quello che ricade nella categoria bomb,non vengono intercettate da nulla,sicché con le jdam non ci sono problemi a eliminare sia sa11 che sa15

We will soon be releasing the next mode for the Viper’s AGM-88C HARM anti-radiation missile. The Position (POS) mode allows you to launch a HARM at a designated steerpoint and have the HARM seeker look for and guide on a selected radar type. In the RUK (Range Unknown) sub-mode, the seeker will search a large are around the steerpoint when the exact location of the SAM in the steerpoint vicinity is uncertain. POS mode allows you to attack non-transmitting SAMs and engage them at longer ranges.

Since the last update, we have continued to refine the function of the Targeting Pod (TGP) designations and its behavior with the AGM-65 Maverick air-to-surface missile.

This video is provided to help you better understand how to best use these two systems when paired together in Preplanned (PRE) mode.

Part of this update will also include a refactoring of the Viper Sensor Point of Interest (SPI) logic. This results in more accurate Cursor Zero action, TGP and Maverick slaving, and functional Snowplow mode of the TGP. This video also explains the proper use of TGP inertial (INR) mode when the TGP designation point becomes masked.

DCS: F-16C Viper

Once the Hornet is out of early access, some of the developers will be allocated to the Viper team in order to enhance their capabilities. Based on customer feedback, their highest priorities includes completing air-to-air radar modes and functions, additional AGM-88C HARM modes, GPS/INS-guided weapons, expanded defensive systems, air-to-surface radar modes, mark points, additional ICP and MFD options, new weapon delivery modes, and more.

Viper Mini-Updates

As has been mentioned earlier, we have two, dedicated engineers assigned full-time to the Viper, and other engineers participating when available. Once the Hornet leaves early access, additional resources will be brought to bear on the Viper.

Items currently being worked on for the Viper include:

• Updated flight model dynamics for G and angle of attack.
• Addition of IAM weapons that include JDAM, JSOW, and WCMD.
• Pre-Briefed (PB) mode for the AGM-88C HARM.
• Air-to-Air radar improvements.

After which, important development items will include:

• Air-to-Ground radar
• CRUS page
• JHMCS Air-to-Ground mode
• HARM Targeting System (HTS)
• Electronic Countermeasures
• And more.

In parallel, we are also addressing many bugs and needed and adjustments.

Da notare oltre ovviamente all’aggiornamento avionico dell’F-16 il nuovo sistema volumetrico delle nuvole (scusate il gioco di parole) 

F-16C Viper - Development Roadmap

In the next Open Beta, you will receive the GBU-31 and GBU-38 JDAM for the Viper! We are now working on fixing outstanding bugs related to the Air-to-Air Radar and Navigation Systems. Enhancements are also being made to the Flight Model in regards to available G and angle of attack modeling.

Once we have addressed the critical issues, we will focus our Viper efforts on completing important Air-to-Air Radar functions: DTT SAM mode, bullseye, intercept steering cue, ACM Slew, and more. The Helmet Mounted Cueing System (HMCS) with the HARM Targeting System (HTS), Link 16, Air-to-Ground Mode, and IFF will also be integrated. The AGM-154 JSOW and the ALQ-131 and ALQ-184 electronic countermeasure pods are also next in line to be added.

In this video we’ll discuss JDAMs for the Viper. Our F-16C will be able to employ the 2,000 lbs class GBU-31(V)1/B, the penetrator 3/B version, and the 500 lbs class GBU-38.

For the GBU-38, two can be mounted on each BRU-57 smart bomb rack unit.

They can be loaded on stations 3 and 7.

Some of the biggest advantages of JDAMs compared to laser-guided bombs is that they are fire-and-forget, and you can employ them when the target is masked by weather.

Buongiorno ragazzi, vi seguo sempre e ogni tanto volo con l'f14

sto provando anche l'f16 nel periodo di prova gratuito di 14 gg

Vi vorrei chiedere una cosa da nubbo, il throttle si comporta in maniera diversa dall'f14, quando spingo avanti cercando di accelerare poi se lascio il trigger mi ritorna in posizione centrale.

C'è un modo per far avanzare il throttle di uno step alla volta senza che poi torna in posizione centrale ogni volta?

grazie a tutti in anticipo

Mai avuto questo problema...

Non è che c'è qualcosa di sbagliato nell'assegnazione degli assi?

Presumo che tu stia usando un joypad, e purtroppo non saprei come aiutarti se son darti un consiglio di prendere almeno un Joy tipo Microsoft Sidewinder 2 o un T.Flight X della Thrustmaster che costano relativamente poco ma sono sicuramente più indicati di qualsiasi Joypad.

Ok grazie ragazzi ho risolto,

avevo sia l'axis che la keyboard mappate sul throttle e andavano in conflitto tra loro

ora ho settato tutto correttamente, è una gioia volare l'f16 che spettacolo

mi ero fatto tentare dal periodo di prova, continuerò in questi 14 gg ad usarlo, ma mi ha già stregato, penso che lo prenderò

Mi piace tantissimo la libertà di visuale rispetto al f14, il canopy è completamente in vetro senza zone che ostacolano la visuale. Una goduria

Ottimo.

Ora per favore togli quel coprisedile peloso che fà caldo.

Bhe usando un visore si simula perfettamente il caldo provocato dal coprisedile peloso….  Per i veri amanti del realismo :D:D:D:D

DCS: Viper Mini updates

A little update on HARM loading. After being provided ample evidence from those in the know, we have adjusted loading of the AGM-88. Whilst it will still be possible to load HARMs on the four stations, HARMs loaded on STA 4 and 6 will have no umbilical connection, and thus no communication with the MC. As such, you are fee to carry them, as indicated in some images and a loading chart, but they cannot be employed.

We expect this to be in a July 2021 update. Also for July, you can expect the AGM-154A, CBU-103, and CBU-105.

DCS: Viper Mini updates
 

In this video, we’ll look at the AGM-154A Joint Standoff Off Weapon, or JSOW, for the Viper. The JSOW is un unpowered glide bomb that weighs approximately a thousand pounds. It has a range to up to 70 miles range, based on launch altitude and airspeed. It is a fire-and-forget weapon that uses INS and GPS to reach its designated target.

It can be loaded on stations 3 and 7 as either singles or pairs using a BRU-57 smart rack.

The A model includes 145 BLU-97A combined effects bomb submunitions, which are ideal when attacking unarmored and lightly armored units. It is not though designed though to destroy heavily armored units like a main battle tank. While there are also B and C versions, the United States Air Force only operates the A version.

Key commands:

• Set SPI - Target Management Switch (TMS)Up: Right Ctrl + Arrow Up
• Set SOI Between Displays – Display Management Switch (DMS) Down: Right Alt + .
• Set SOI to HUD – Display Management Switch (DMS) Up: Right Alt + ;
• Weapon Release: Right Alt + Space

DCS: Viper Mini updates
 

In the previous AGM-154A JSOW video, we looked at the employment process. In this video, we’ll go a bit more into what type or target you would use it for.

The primary task would be against air defense sites, and to a lesser degree unarmored and light-armored targets. The AGM-154A is a great Destruction of Enemy Air Defenses (DEAD) weapon, whereas the AGM-88C HARM is a Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses (SEAD) weapon.

Although it can be effective against lightly armored vehicles like APCs, IFVS, and self-propelled artillery, heavily armored targets, like main battle tanks, are best attacked with Mavericks and sensor fused munitions like the CBU-97 and CBU-105 (coming in August).

Si ho letto ma non capisco il motivo di portare carico INutile.... a che serve averle disponibili al montaggio se poi non le posso usare?

Pare che la recente modifica rispecchi ciò che succede IRL: probabilmente (non vorrei dire una fesseria) versioni più recenti del Viper sono compatibili anche con le stazioni ora escluse.

vabbè io per semplicità ed per evitare confusione non li avrei permessi.... Uno con un rearm vede disponibili li monta e poi si trova a non poterli usare.... (a meno che non abbiano messo qualche tipo di warning ...non ho controllato)
