Incoming release of Belsimtek F-5E Tiger II on DCS: World by BSK webpage

[quote]DCS: F-5E Tiger II Early Access
You can purchase the DCS: F-5E Tiger II here. The download will be available soon!

The Belsimtek team started the development of the F-5E model in April 2015. The main goal of the development was to achieve the highest possible degree of correspondence between the model and the real prototype. As usual, during development of the new module, it became necessary to apply new approaches for modelling objects of the engine and various systems. In case of the F-5E, it was necessary to increase the number of modelled units for the engine, that is why the engine model has been adjusted up to the present time. Nevertheless, it was worth it, the present engine model, along with the precise flight model of the aircraft, made it possible to achieve correspondence of all the parameters, such as acceleration, climb rate, speed bleeding, gliding in all altitudes range, airspeeds with various takeoff weights and engine operating modes. And, as usual, careful attention was paid to the model behavior at the stalling angles and beyond stall angles (after stall and at spinning)! These modes were tested for more than four months by the real pilots during alpha testing!

Main features of the DCS: F-5E Tiger II:

Professional flight and engine model, precisely reproducing the performance of the real prototype in all altitudes envelope.
temperatures and speeds for various weights and in-flight configurations.
Detailed, interactive cockpit with six degrees of freedom.
Interactive control of the cockpit elements using mouse.
Fully simulated armament system.
Electrical, fuel flow, hydraulic systems simulated in detail, as well as operation of the avionics.
Authentic liveries of several countries.
Complete set of training missions and single player missions.
Complete and quick start manuals in Russian and English.
Three-stage campaign for the F-5E module, developed by a third-party developer, outside the scope of the present module supply package (under development).
See the Flight Manual for more details about the aircraft, its systems, armament and combat employment for free.

There are minor imperfections in the systems’ operation at this early access stage of the product, but they will be polished out in the nearest time.

I take it that now this is available we’re going to meet on a sever and test fly it until our eyes bleed?

Just my luck I’ve got today off :slight_smile:

I’ve been flicking between the Flight Manual included with the module and T.O. 1F-5E-1 to try to get familiar with its operations before I start binding things and playing around in the cockpit. Apparently they’ve already released a set of known bugs (thanks to @Fridge for posting!) but it doesn’t seem like there’s anything that will prevent you from mucking about with it. The pitch-down issue is the only thing that could be truly annoying, IMO.

Known DCS F-5E bugs and inconsistencies:

  • IDLE RPM (Thrust) vs altitude. IDLE thrust too big at altitude.
  • Damaged aircraft without one wing sink smoothly.
  • No spin after tail slide. According to TO, when tailsliding with pitch > 70 degrees the plane should enter inverted spin.
  • Choсks animation linked to canopy animation on net phantom
  • Turn perfomance at 5000ft. Sustained turn curve has no step on 330 KIAS.
  • No compressor stall and flameout.
  • Max lift g-loads. According to TO at 5000 ft and GW 13750 the F-5 can achieve 6.0 G at M = 0.5. In simulator the plane can achieve 6.6 at M=0.5 and 7.1 at M = 0.52.
  • Pitch down input is too abrupt due to absence of half of the axis. stick fwd movenent is less, than aft, but the scale of joystick-virtual stick is the same for aft and fwd movement.
  • Missing missile excess-G marker on LCOSS.
  • Gunsight mode A/A1 works incorrect.
  • AIM-9 seeker FOV is very narrow.
  • RWR sound issues. No sounds are present for new radar sources
  • Only one attempt to lock-on after ACQ button release in radar search mode.
  • Radar elevation controls stop working after target lock is broken.
  • Lock gate cannot be controlled after severl mode switches.
