FlankerMan Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 As I said in another thread, the F-16DJ Block 50D would fix everything, as it's multi-crew, SEAD-capable, and it's an F-16. Plus, it's a later block with a GE engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Rage* Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Years ago Wags mentioned that if they did an F16 it would be an F16CJ which would make it a block 50/52. Hopefully that's still the case.

Rangi Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 It is such good news, we get a very interesting jet that is used by many different countries (assuming the exact varient is acceptable as a stand in for so many different modifications out there). Most of all I am happy that one in twenty threads won't be derailed into F-16 wishlists. Let the release date betting begin, my pick is sometime in early 2021.

David OC Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Not sure exact model ED will go for? I think their not sure just like the F/A-18, it will work itself out once all the info has been gone through and sorted out. Where DCS / ED is right now, especially now with the F/A-18 systems, general ground radar tech, soon to be tweaked for the F/A-18 ground radar. I don't think the turnaround time will be far off for this module, 3D model is done I believe, I'm guessing they will be using some of the DCS F16 demo FM? Or the same source data from NASA for flight model and engines. (Extrapolated equations from the NASA manned sim) So depending on team workloads for other projects?

Vitormouraa Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 I hope it's a more modern variant with either the PW-229s or GE-100/129. I'd rather the GE engine.

mvsgas Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 (edited) Please don't do the C model, a D would be much better. You can do everything in singleplayer like in the C but it opens a new world for coop online flying. A F-16D with terrain following could be used like a mini F-15E. As I said in another thread, the F-16DJ Block 50D would fix everything, as it's multi-crew, SEAD-capable, and it's an F-16. Plus, it's a later block with a GE engine. Keep in mind that most D models are made for training. So MFD/CMFD just mirror each other. Also, many lack the Aft Seat HUD Monitor (ASHM) So no HUD information unless you use one of only two MFD/CMFD. Finally, D models carry less fuel that C models. AFAIK, the only "multicrew" F-16 ( as in both pilots can use different MFD/CMFD and work together to strike a target) is the F-16I Block 52+ and Singapore block 52+. The easiest way to identify these are looking for the large bulges on the nose.

FlankerMan Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 I've seen pictures of Ds with combat loads, and I know that they are used, just not as often. By the way, how exactly do multi-seat aircraft work in single player? I don't have any, so I'm wondering if you get to decide which seat you're in, and what the skill level of the AI in the same aircraft is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvsgas Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 I've seen pictures of Ds with combat loads, and I know that they are used, just not as often. Absolutely, as a matter of fact, the first USAF AIM-120 kill was with an F-16D (90-0778) From F-16.net The only reason for it flying the combat mission (4 Hours) that day was to take flying hours off it so it could go in for a phase inspection. Most of its flight time during Operation Southern Watch was (FAM) rides for in coming pilots and VIP's, being the only D model. The canopy was so bad that Lt. Col North (at that time) stated "it was like landing with a paper bag on your head. But there was nobody on the back seat AFAIK.

BeastyBaiter Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 I wouldn't buy a two seater. Two seat fighters are a deal breaker for me (bombers/strikers/choppers are different of course). This is doubly true with the F-16 where you gain nothing from the second seat but get reduced rearward visibility, extra weight and less fuel. This is all moot though, I'm not convinced an F-16 is in the pipe. I've seen trailers for DCS advertising the OH-58 as an upcoming flyable too. It's about 4 years old and nobody is working on it as far as I know. System specs: i5-10600k (4.9 GHz), RX 6950XT, 32GB DDR4 3200, NVMe SSD, Reverb G2, WinWing Super Libra/Taurus, CH Pro Pedals.

StandingCow Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 I don't like F-16D idea. Multiplayer? I rarely see players play together in one Gazelle in MP in any server. Big difference between that and a jet like the F14 and F16D.

Pikey Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 I believe the popularity of an F-16 is down to the long list of export countries which does mean it fits into so many scenarios in a sandbox. If it's a C then I guess people will crow over the 50/52 for the '91 HARM addition. It will be nice when done, I wonder if the work on F-18 helps improve speed. I hope they dont have research delays like the Hornet. ___________________________________________________________________________ SIMPLE SCENERY SAVING * SIMPLE GROUP SAVING * SIMPLE STATIC SAVING * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
