Wags tvrdí že prosinec patří Hornetu, přesto jim tenhle krok komunita nikdy neodpustí.

In the next Open Beta update, we will be adding the data link (Link-16 with MIDS) to our F-16C. This is a very useful tool for building situational awareness and more effectively managing wingmen. This will be implemented for both single- and multi-player.

The initial version is work-in-progress and further elements will be added during the early access period

FOR NEXT OPEN BETA UPDATE

In a previous video we looked at the Track While Scan (TWS) mode of the F-16C. In this short video, we’ll look at how to use it with the AIM-120 AMRAAM air-to-air missile to simultaneously engage up to six targets.

The operation is quite simple:

1- Set the group of track targets as system targets (TMS right)
2- TMS right again to bug (designate) the closest target
3- Launch an AIM-120, then TMS right to cycle to the next in priority sequence, and then launch the next AIM-120
4- Rinse and repeat

Notes

All targets must be within the 25-degree scan area until their onboard seeker takes over.

Target will only get a search radar hit when engaged in this mode, until the AIM-120's radar goes active.

což znamená, že nemáme během prosince očekávat nic na Falcona
ale třeba na výběr AA zbraní pomocí Missile Step nebo správné nastavení při DGF režimu dojde..

Are we able to switch between missile types (switch between armaam and sidewinder) with a long press of the NWS/missile step button yet? The last time I flew the f16 i was able to step between the pylons but long pressing the button would not switch missile types. Will this be added soon if its still not functional yet?

Yes, for the next Open Beta update. Thanks

Jestli nedostanu TWSko do 14 dnů do Horneta, tak budu hodně nepříjemnej zákazník.

Will this be available on the F18 before Christmas 2019?

We will do our very best thanks. For now, all we can really say is that we are planning for December.

In the next Open Beta update, we will be releasing a series of updates to the DCS: F-16C. Some of these were covered in previous videos like the Track While Scan (TWS) radar mode and data link. This video provides a basic functionality look at other features like the Counter Measures Dispenser System (CMDS) manual option programming, the external lighting panel, and more.

A new element being added to the DCS: F-16C Viper is wing flex and twisting. This provides a much more dynamic and interesting behavior to the wing as you takeoff, maneuver the aircraft and high-G, fly low and fast in turbulence, and even release heavy ordnance. This is the next large element that we are adding to the external model of the Viper. Following this, our next external model task for the Viper is to complete the texture template and create several more skins.

With the holidays behind us, the team is back at work on the Viper. Here is a list of the tasks the team is currently working on. Although the following are being worked on, we cannot promise that all will be ready for the next Open Beta:

• The radar directed gun sight is working great internally based on EEGS Level 5 sighting. It is very stable and practically a sniper weapon. Starting tomorrow, the team will be creating the dogfight HUD (Attitude Awareness in DGFT).
• The afterburner effect has been greatly improved. Quite a blow torch now!
• Fuel flows have been tuned to be more accurate based on available data.
• Turn performance further adjusted regarding over Mach 1 below 8,000 ft MSL.
• Wind is better accounted for in the flight model and displayed air speeds.
• Several updates to the INS and alignment system.
• Corrected PPLI display in network play.
• Updates to the AIM-120 that include launch delay and HUD cue centering in the TD box.
• Added ILS declutter function.
• Adjusted the command steering cue localizer to be less sensitive.
• Corrected AA TCN error.
• Added further functions to the Link 16 system.
• Added cursor switch depress to switch between AIM-9 BORE and SLAVE modes.

There are many more, and these will be listed in the change log for the next Open Beta. Once we have the new dogfight HUD working, I’ll be creating a new video that explains it, and displays the accuracy and ease of use of EEGS Level 5.

After the next update is completed, we’ll discuss the next set of new features and changes planned for the Viper.
