Thick8 Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 I did a search on this and can not find an answer. I don't understand how the most produced modern fighter aircraft can be missing from DCS. Is it because Lockheed Martin won't allow it, where General Dynamics would? Is there no interest in this aircraft (I find that hard to believe) as Falcon is still going strong in spite of being a subpar flight simulator? It would be nice if ED could chime in on this. Maybe @Waggs knows.

razo+r Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Look up the posts from 2011. There you have your F-16 model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thick8 Posted March 18, 2018 Author Share Posted March 18, 2018 Look up the posts from 2011. There you have your F-16 model. Nope, not seeing it. Just some reference to a skin with no flight characteristics or weapon modeling. Would you care to elaborate?

razo+r Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 There are a few screenshots from 2011 around showing the development of a F-16 model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dillio Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Someone or other on the DCS forums has asked this EXACT question about once a week or so since 2011. Certainly no one doubts the demand for a DCS: F-16 module. If Lockheed or another license-holder was able to block a DCS project, they would surely not elaborate on it here. If ED were to contract for a military F-16 simulation, they might develop it to a DCS module as they did with A-10C, F/A-18C, etc. Until then, we keep dreaming!

Thick8 Posted March 19, 2018 Author Share Posted March 19, 2018 Thank you for the links to the speculative discussions. Yet none of them answer the question. Maybe someone here knows if an F-16 module is being blocked. Maybe Waggs might know or know someone who does. Maybe he would know if the F-16 is slated for development. I can’t imagine DCS hasn’t looked into developing it. Just wondering what the roadblocks are.

SkateZilla Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 A2G Radar, Super Sonic PFM, Core Systems (DATALINK, ETC), Advanced A2A Radar, to name a few, now that those items are integrated w/ DCS:F/A-18C, then a F-16 is more possible. ED, have already developed the External and Cockpit, Obviously, but AFAWK, the project was put on hold, w/ only mere mentions of it by the 3D Artist SkyLark,.

Shadow KT Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 I have no interest in the F-16. After the Hornet, I'd prefer development to be dedicated to a more different aircraft or the improvement of DCS, instead of an aircraft, which capabilities are already covered by the Hornet and has been done in other sims Why is this in the mods section anyway. If you are asking for Mods, there are some, but I believe mostly private 'Shadow' Everybody gotta be offended and take it personally now-a-days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tangentorf Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Likely the emergence of F-16 in DCS not justified on financial grounds, after all there is Falcon BMS free. F-16 deserves to appear in DCS, it will find many fans. RU Вероятно появление F-16 В DCS не оправдано по финансовым соображениям, ведь есть Falcon BMS бесплатный. F-16 заслуживает того, чтобы появиться в DCS, он найдет много поклонников. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
