We are pleased to announce that DCS: F-16C Viper will be released on our e-Shop and Steam on 03 October 2019! Please note that the pre-order discount from our e-Shop will end then.
DCS World e-Shop:
Steam:
We have also been reaching out to Steam through multiple channels to extend the pre-order period, but we have been unsuccessful. We will keep trying.
We are very excited to make this work of art available to you, and we thank you for your encouragement and support. We could not do this without you.
Of course as soon as I decide Iāll pre-order the Viper on Friday, when I get paid, ED has to one up me and release it on Thursday. Well played ED, well playedā¦
In this DCS: F-16C Viper video, we will take a first look at the Litening targeting pod for the Viper. This is an initial version with more features to come in parallel with development of the Litening targeting pod for the Hornet.
We plan to release our Viper on 3 October 2019.
Basic steps for self-lase LGB attack:

CCRP selected
Target tracked on TGP
Bomb laser code and TGP laser code match
Bomb release

First stage of trigger held to lase
Well, admittedly, every release for a long time has either been on a Wednesday or Friday. Iād typically guess Wednesday, though for a big release like this Friday is just a likely. But Thursday? Didnāt see that one coming.
I wasnāt planning on it as I was intending to wait for a sale first, but i bit the apple and have just in time, bought the Viper today. Yea I got the preorder discount.
It is only the Tomcat and Viper that i have bought new, everything else DCS vise have been bought on sale.
Another reason to get the 3Dprinter project up to speed again, so I can finish my righthand Warthog esquie throttle project. It has been loitering in Limbo for way to long.
With just one day to go before release of our DCS: F-16C Viper, we wanted to remind everyone that the pre-order discount will also end tomorrow. Based on the Hornet, it will probably be over a year until we put the Viper on sale again. If you wish to purchase the Viper at a discount, you have less than 24 hours.
Over our many years of developing aircraft, no other aircraft was as challenging to get the landing gear animations correct as the Viper. We believe the result is fantastic.
Now that the landing gear animation is complete, our external aircraft artist is focusing on the external textures and creating a texture template that we can release after the Viper launch on 3 October 2019.
I only need to see the retraction sequence. When you are as bad a dogfighter as me, Iām more interested in the detailing of the ejection sequenceā¦hahaā¦
