We’ll start with the most important ranked by you, that are also feasible for us, and then continue to bring you more and more DCS: F-16C Viper functionality. You should really focus on the obvious placeholders and missing features. When me and my buddies tested the Viper at the last big free to play event (decembre?) there were some really obvious things missing, that we could easily realize without checking the manual. Can't remember everything, bust most obvious things were the placeholder-titled MFD menu-screens, the lack of proper countermeasure-management, and some obvious omissions when going through the DED ("upfront controller"?) menus. These things made the whole module feel very basic to us. 1 My personal wishlist after half a decade with DCS: https://forum.dcs.world/topic/184968-my-personal-wishlist-after-half-a-decade-with-dcs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lace Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Thanks for the timeline. It looks like there are some exciting additions in the pipeline. It will be interesting to see how the ECM pods and decoys function within the DCS World environment. A wider expansion of the EW aspects of the game would be a welcome improvement. Also the A/G radar and HMCS symbology will be a game changer for the Viper's effectiveness. 3 Laptop Pilot.

I’m a just bit curious why it has gone from something that is on the list when it got up for pre-order to, TBD…. It’s a rocket pod on a TER… not a super complicated system.

If it's, that means we should get V(9) with SAR. "The first production V(9) radar, which was delivered in April 2002". DCS F-16 is around 2007, so we should (i hope) get (V)9 radar Last I checked it was specifically stated that we do NOT get the (V)9 but the (V)5. Personally I'd love a (V)9, but I wouldn't get my hopes up. Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two. Come let's eat grandpa! Use punctuation, save lives!

Myhre124 Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Any chance of GBU-39 Small Diameter Bombs in the future and maybe the Terma PIDS+ pylons seen on most european F-16s and i believe also USAF F-16s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does 'bullseye' include the cursor bullseye location? I really hope so -- at present communicating bandit locations and stuff with other airframe types is very challenging. It really becomes a hindrance in large scale / complex multiplayer missions. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawk4me Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Great to see updates to the roadmap for sure. Only down side I see to the current model of F16 we got is that it really lacks weapon diversity. I imagine if the JSOW-A ever got it's HOF implemented it would really make a huge difference in the weapons ability to actually kill stuff. Having the JDAM's is certainly great I just wish the USAF/ANG actually used 1000 pound bombs as well. A lot of time's the 500 pounds isn't enough and 2000 pounds is overkill and hard to carry if you get in any kind of BVR engagement but I guess that is what it is. Great update on the roadmap.

JOYFUL_CLOVR Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Thank you for the roadmap! It will be interesting to see the performance tweaks to an already solid module.

Tank50us Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Given that some Block 50s in the export market that are equipped with the AGM-84 Harpoon, is there any chance the F-16 could be equipped with this in the future? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCS F-16 is around 2007, so we should (i hope) get (V)9 radar By the way the V (9) was first tested in the Greece HAF F-16's. And the HAF sop and supliments well documented and available for public access and we can only hope for a exported version of the F-16 therefore all your and others whishes would make sense.
