Ff you could have one thing in the next update it would be…
-
EHSI is already implemented. Check BAF MLU for example.
With the standard install for Blocks 40/42/50/52. The only jets that have the old HSI are Blocks 25/30.
-
Major Fixes:
- Fix implementation of Z-axis (slightly different/sloppy from the real jet)
– Results in very odd slews with the TGP (makes laser mech difficult)
– Results in difficult & sloppy radar mech - Fix El Strobe (magnitude of roll vs how much elevation el strobe changes)
– Should not be as touchy as it currently is
Must Haves:
- Avionics suite brought up to M6.2 (USAF will be moving to M7.1 soon with complete avionics overhaul i.e. ATD)
- Correct MFD options
- Correct DED options
- Correct Sniper/Litening Gen 4 pod implementation (simple things like CZ with TMS AFT, menus, etc.)
- Correct HTSP implementation brought up to R7.7
- Correct implementation of WPN page
- Implementation of Link 16 with J messages (no one uses IDM/IDT)
- Correct color palettes
- Overhaul of HSD
- Overhaul of HAD
- Overhaul of FCR (i.e. correct CTRL options with features like auto-sort, etc.)
– Block 40 vs 50 radar - HOG knob to go to GUN in A-G
- Fix ACM Slewable (altitude should NOT change with pitch)
Nice to Have:
- Full EGI (i.e. no separate GPS/INS like the older avionics suites)
- EP Trainer & Malfunctions mode (would imagine this would lead to overhaul of how specific systems are implemented i.e. MAIN GEN, STBY GEN, EPU GEN, etc.)
- RALT default to ON
- Default to BARO instead of AUTO (no one flies in AUTO)
- Update Exterior Lighting Panel (allows flight members to select different settings for night formation)
- HaveQuick
- Secure Voice
- AGCAS/PARS
- AIFF Interrogator
- IFF P/T Function
- Correct AWACS comm IAW 3-1 G.P. (i.e. correct declarations with hostile/spades/bogey/bandit calls)
- EMER option on DED
- HOME Mode
- EHSI added
- Build an entire DTC load similar to using JMPS for the real jet
- Better AI with regards to TI pictures (i.e. Champagne, Vic, Wall with beaming or dragging groups and the ability to create pictures for TE)
- ALE-50 Implementation
Yes! Especially the ALE-50 and HTS and Sniper updates.

Yah the HTSP, ALE-50, TGP, and L16 are so important in the real jet so it would be nice if we could bring this up to what’s currently used.

A lot of thos things are still classified… and a lot of things are in the current version that should be fixed before adding new stuff Always more and more it not always better… better having 1 thing working nearly 100% then 20 things all working 60 % …

No they aren’t. Tell me what’s classified… If they were classified I wouldn’t have posted them…

well thats a nice wishlist! If even some of those things get implemented, Ill be happy. All of them would be like having all my birthdays at once….
With the Z axis, could you explain whats wrong with it, and how it affects radar and TGP mech? I could see the x and y axes getting improvements in that area, but whats wrong with the Z axis?

as above, none of those things are classified. Some of the details that would be needed to make some of those things work 100% true to real are classified, but are not mentioned above. Lots of details that would be needed to make some of those things better than in BMS are not found by googling, and depend on having up to date documentation. That documentation is not classified, but in most cases is not approved for unlimited distribution, either.

Correct! And what I’ve noticed compared to the real jet is that it’s off by about 30 degrees. When I go to slew the radar or TGP it’s just not natural like it is in the real jet. I will try to collect some data points the next time I fly or at least hit the sim.
-
If all that stuff isn’t classified, I’m really curious where I can read it.

As mentioned, it’s not classified but the documents are pretty controlled (i.e. -1, -34-1, etc.) However, the real world implementation of that stuff is classified. I don’t see why we cannot integrate some of that stuff into the sim. For example, L16 would be such a game-changer in terms of how this sim is played. The flight model is pretty damn similar to the real jet (obviously some minor differences in there), but the avionics needs to be updated a little bit.

Ok, I’ll bite, how about: Hot chicks waiting for us when we RTB?

Can’t you get your own food?

I suspect it’s not that easy to implement it, but one small feature I believe could come in useful, would be a digital readout next to sliders, maybe with possibility to write in that box to fine-tune the value.
In my opinion, it could be especially useful for visibility sliders, where you don’t really have a clue where the VFR/IFR division is, or where to set the marker to have visibility that is both bad and good enough for IFR procedures like RATD, SID, ILS, …
+1 this one. We need to be able to set the exact mileage not just slide up and down the slider. We need to know if it’s 2 SM, or 10 SM or more!

I’m willing to help implement these features; just need to find out who to talk to…

Friend, you’re on santa’s hotlist today

I reckon that a F-16E/F Block 60 is out of the question in future BMS itereations because a) UAE aren’t part of any TO currently available for BMS (if I’m not mistaken), b) access to sufficient data is probably classified and c) coding the rather advanced avionics and EWS could prove impossible?
In any case, those large MFDs, the AESA and the EWS make it quite the punch.Cheers
Edit: I tried finding out if the thread already covered this question, but typing Block 60 int othe search function yields no results.
-
Good Day, Kansas. While the Block 60 has not been discussed (in my memory , at least) AESA has. The consensus was that it wasn’t going to happen, and you were pretty close with B and C.
While I’m here-I know we’re a Viper sim, but how about an actual Hornet 'pit, switchology wise. -

Thank you, I typed in other combinations and phrasings without good results.

If I could have one thing it would be an F/A-18E & F with RL avionics, not avionics from the F-16s, so, same displays as RL F/A-18E & F
