DCS F-16 Viper Mini Updates and Discussion

It was a miss-fire… he is re-uploading now. Sorry for the tease.

Well I guess our first release bug for the viper is out before it is! :rofl:

Looking forward to another video - timing is good, right after work & dinner.
I’ll wait for it to finish processing so I can watch in full 1080p.

My BMS proficiency seems to be pretty useful so far. It’s kind of a weird feeling seeing these videos and already going “yep, I know exactly what buttons I need to push.” Usually I’m two steps behind wondering what’s going on before getting my hands on the bird for the first time.

Testing out the Reverb last night and there sure seems like a lot of Shaw Vipers at Nellis these days.

Vipers fly West during the hurricane season…

The logic behind that UFC seems quite complicated… I’m sure all will get super clear with time, but let’s say the designer is no Steve Jobs…

Ok, I think I’m ready for the Viper!

Please excuse the messy desk! :crazy_face:

Two sticks? You sure you got the right Viper?

Ha! Yes, you might have a point there! :wink:

“Two sticks” You’re so extra…:blush: I’m just hating!

An empty desk is a sign of an empty mind.

Overcompensation, man! :grimacing:


Oh my God!!! How did that mess happen?
Sorry, I cant reset @PaulRix :slight_smile:

Where goes the yoke!? :wink:

Well, the beauty of the clamps is that you can remove them in about a second, and so my plan is to just disconnect the usb cables (I just added a USB 3.0 powered hub for all my controllers to keep the cables/connectors together), and then put the Yoke and throttle in their place. The Warthog stick has already been removed from the desk as the photo above was just to show I now have a sidestick configuration for the F16. I’m still thinking about how I am going to use the MFD bezels going forward. I will probably just leave it as is. In VR I won’t be able to see the VirPil stick anyway.

I could never have my desk so tidy… at least not for very long ;). You also beat on the number of sticks you have on a single desk!

I would be lost without the stratification of crap on my desk that makes the passage of time easier to mark.

Oooooh…there is that 2014 appointment reminder I missed…

Thought I’d post a few pics of the F-16’s cockpit evolution rather than muddy up the JF-17 thread:

F-16A

F-16C (Can’t ID the block, might be a mockup)

F-16V

It’s probably too much to ask for a F-16V but I’d totally be down for an F-16A!

Mmm, that F-16A looks strange after being used to the Charlie, but looks like sooo much fun!
