Ff you could have one thing in the next update it would be…
-
EDIT ops wrong thread
-
To be able to assign View L/R/U/D to a couple of axes.
-
It would be cool to communicate with ground units on CAS missions, or at least through AWACS…. like pop smoke and direct. Those enemy infantry units are had to spot on TGP or mk1 zoomed in eyeball
That’s about the only thing DCS has that I wish we had.
-
Arresting gear located at airbases. Would go along perfectly with the modeled brake failures

…I should have thought we have that?

Nope, I thought the same. But it’s not.
Figured it out playing around with the hornet (which while I’m on the subject, should have better brakes, at least they shouldn’t blow out as easily as they do now. They are much more robust than the viper). But yeah, blew the brakes, first thing I did was drop the hook, kept right on rolling. That was at Kunsan, and a few other places. But no doubt it’d be nice for the long and short field gear to be active in game.

Definitely. JTAC would be great.
Although during CAS missions I’ve had AWACS tell me to attack other targets which they gave me the Bulls/distance to. There is a FAC mission role that you can add to CAS packages but I’ve never tried that.

So, now that we have these new magnificent vapor effects on wings/fuselage, maybe it is time for the devs to consider adding and the supersonic effect at some point, enabled for a couple of seconds during the mach-1 and -2 transition?

A numerical airbrake position indicator akin to the flap or throttle position indicator at the top left would be nice. Only visible if airbrake position is >0.0. Or at least an “Airbrake” notification if the brakes are not stowed.
The cockpit indicator is really hard to see.

What do you mean by “supersonic effect”?
If you mean the sonic boom, there is no such additional effect when passing M2. -

Contact Lockheed Martin.
BMS philosophy is to mimic RL avionic. Not to re-invent it.

@Bellc09:

Also not happening again at Mach2.
The higher the TAS, the supersonic cone gets narrower, but there is not secondary/additional/etc cone (or sonic boom) when you pass mach 2. There is no such thing, sonic effects repeating at multiple of MACH numbers. -

LOL just imagine how much LM would ask for to develop that.

Read my post again. Nowhere do I demand correction for any questionable descisions of General Dynamic’s engineers.
I just wanted a nice little notification to increase situational awareness in the corner of my screen, because I’m just a regular dude with a desktop PC and a flightstick and don’t have my private full motion 360° F-16 IMAX.
But never mind that. The SA bar (Shift+3) has a readout for the airbrakes. Still, a solution that is not dependant on having to toggle something on and off would be nice.

For those of us who would prefer using the existing solution, i.e. the actual F-16 avionics, I think we would prefer that a solution that can be toggled off is better, and a solution that is toggled off by default is best.

I would like for the ground radar to see some improvements. It should be able to show roads, runways, rivers etc, which would make it easier to locate where the hell the targets actually are (and what they are). I’ve found with the new improved weather (loving it!) I’m flying much more in conditions where the TGP is no use, and using the ground radar more.

I bet real pilots would like that too.
-
I bet if the ground radar was improved in BMS, there would be a lot more request for help with how to use the radar… the radar elevation knob would be the new NWS

Haha, I’m sure they would
If this video holds true, then it should at least be possible to pick out big features like runways:
But yeah, I’ll admit, it’s not very sharp. But better than the GM radar we have.
