DCS F-16 Viper Mini Updates and Discussion

Fridge · October 3, 2019, 4:04pm

You guys start posing some F-16 guides and discussions and such and the answer is yes.

Please feel free to start discussions on the various bits of the F-16 and try to stay away from discussing everything in one thread

I will try to monitor things and split topics up a little but any help is appreciated.

Fix for the above issue, its related to modules owned, if you own them all it seems fine… so ummm go buy the rest, or you can wait for the hotfix

I like that ‘can do’ attitude

Bearhedge · October 3, 2019, 8:04pm

Makes sense - nice upselling!

Victork2 · October 3, 2019, 10:01pm

If that means what i think it means that’s a mudspike moment to remember. Excellent work guys.

sobek · October 17, 2019, 8:42pm

This should come in handy.

Nice! now all daddy needs is an SA page half as snazzy as the one on the hornet, and the viper is invincible!

That problem you get with the hornet where pulling it through 270 as hard as you can leaves you grovelling at 20degrees AoA, that don’t happen in a viper. A, you’ll black the fork out, B, it just doesn’t get slow.

“Much better. Now…”
