Yep, I just shouted ‘Fault Acknowledged’ really loudly at the DCS F-16C news today - wasn’t expecting it.

Wow I misread things often
I was surprised by the announcement as well. Happy as heck to get to play with the Viper in the fall/winter!

Been having a lot of fun with BMS 4.34, but the DCS version will be a day 1 purchase…
What can I say, it’s a Viper.

I was on the fence since I was a bit 4.32 flier back in the day and sorely miss the dynamic campaign and mission planning capabilities, but VR pushed me over the edge. The Viper is going to be a purchase for me as well.

A little piece of lore.

More excited, I am. Pre-order, I will. Love the Viper, I do. Good times!!!
I’m hoping TM releases an updated F-16 TQS. It would be da bomb and would pair perfectly with the Warthog stick, IMHO. Long shot, I know, but for a long time people thought ED would never do a Viper. #anythingispossible
Double WOW!

Also this kind of reminds me of an old easter egg back from EF2000 -
Can’t see it?

DCS F16 pre-order delayed until friday 24th.
Source: Wags, ED Forums.
Reason: completeness of offer.
I’m surprisingly OK with that.
Still, can’t wait!

Since it was brought up in a mini-fight on the ED forums (Aim-9’s versus AIM-120’s on the wingtips), take a look at the flutter out there on the wingtips during quite a bit it the flying in that video. It is pretty evident.
The argument is that the 120s were used on the wingtip stations to reduce the flutter versus the 9s were used for the same. Either way, you rarely see a F-16 without something out there.
Yeah, they induce a lot of torsional flex onto the wing, no wonder it causes fatigue issues.

Is Syria the free one that’s coming or is there another one?

Looks rushed, why so hurry. Even for alpha its just bit more than flying 3D model.
This must be because recent headlines …
Map looked nice anyway
