Kappa Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Hi all, does this version of F-16C have the MWS system? The manual says no, but in the CMDS panel we have the MWS switch, why? -- [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] 36° Stormo Virtuale - Italian Virtual Flight Community www.36stormovirtuale.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
=OPS=Slider Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 We also have the MAP switch even tho our Viper doesn't have that feature. And why? What's the point of removing a switch or two just because it's not operational. Just leave it there and forget about it. Or maybe you can switch it up and down when you are bored.

Rubberduck85 Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Hi all, does this version of F-16C have the MWS system? The manual says no, but in the CMDS panel we have the MWS switch, why?Probably because those panels are used also in export versions of the Viper, for countries that "bought" the MWS or GPS map upgrade. It makes more sense from a production/logistics point of view to make a single panel and switches instead of having X different variants. Of course I could be wrong!

Eldur Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Just curious, which blocks do have those actually? And why had it been removed? I mean, the switches aren't put in there without the feature, so they have to be there in a past version, logically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Kappa, The CMDS panel is a general panel, not just for the Block 50 F-16C. This version of the F-16 has never had MWS.

mvsgas Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 The only F-16 I can think of right now that has a Missile Warning System (MWS) is the Danish F-16A, they need special pylons loaded with the sensors. Maybe some of the Israeli F-16 might have it but I am not sure. 1 To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that. Thank you for you patience. Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true..
