Jo Mark, some new found invaluable vids reg. canopy reflection and colour etc…keep in mind both are F-16MLUs, one RNLAF, one Belgian Air Force…great vids BTW.
Those birds use the brownish HUD, of course. But check the canopy before and after closing and the reflections…;)
One small remark to my comments…please also recheck the Greek Air Force vids and pics I posted in this thread, I am not yet sure how strong the overlay shall appear. I think you are actually quite close. Maybe indeed a tad stronger than in your last version, also in accordance with what I wrote reg. color etc.
Your choice of course!
Cheerio!
-
PS: Like I wrote, I like your new upper HUD, looks also decent when changin’ flight / sun path, means: The attitude towards the sun.
Cheers

where are links to the latest files?
In the first post of this thread.
Good to know: I’m currently awaiting respons of one of the guys I asked to test the latest version. When received, I’ll take that into account making - for now - final tweaks and put it up for download. This will be on short notice. If so, I’ll do as usual: post some screenies here and update the links in the first post and let you know.
Improvements will be:
- more realistic colorscheme
- better integration of the Hud-projector’s greenisch reflections in the HUD-glass
- sharp cut-off of the HUD-symbology outside the projector-circle
- added imprints (reflections) in Canopy and HUD-glass

Well specially at the end of the video where he opens the canopy the coloring (darker) of the HUD is obvious.
Also another q have u noticed at the start of the vid and at the very end the smoke coming from infront? it’s from airconditioning? and when he opens the canopy seems like the canopy has some stain (vapor) from the smoke - vapor coming from the front? -
-
Noticed that as well…IMHO these videos are totally amazing. What a kickass location and I assume the Netherlands and Belgium teams had previously planned to release these similar videos, almost identically in length and course of action. 2 displays at 2 different angles. Loved that.

Interesting landing in that 2nd vid. No lineing up 10 miles out. Just swerve into line at last moment and hit the deck cool as you please.
He seemed to increase throttle prior to killing the engine. Havn’t seen such proceedure mentioned in forums ?
Startup would have been more interesting but for time skip. Though not seeing inside cockpit it was possible to relate to movements. Display was a bit tedious from that view frankly

AFAIK … to avoid lube oil leak or for nozzle position … do not remember exactly.

For Oil. Push to 80% RPM for 10 sec and cuttoff immediately.

Hi, sorry to be off-topic…. but on both pictures from the cockpit, i can see that the ECM panel is empty, even the RWR is gone, what kind of ECM system do they have and where is it displayed ?
Spooky.
-
As for the RWR, I will try an answer from my knowledge: It ain’t gone, it is rather an MLU type of bigger RWR screen. E.g. seen on Belgian F-16 MLUs. Anyone correct me here…my edge in having collected info was rather on European F-16s and USAF ones.

Thanks crazytom,
But i see no screen at all …. this is what bugged me lol, i know that on the MLU’s the ecm panel looks different, that the RWR display is bigger, but … here i can’t see any display or panel relative to it … and the cockpit picture is from a block 52 + … maybe greece has another ecm system. I will try to find something about it.
Spooky.
-
now u got it all wrong…. about the absence of RWR…
In case u missed our weapon of mass distruction the mykonos super paradise… lol Jack Noris is Greek so we don’t need RWR we just think of them and we know where they are… lolAs u can see in the pic it’s bright new the plastics still smell and it’s before the installation of the system.

ECM suite ASPIS II is not installed yet to our Block 52 birds. The Block 52+ Advanced were delivered with the suite preinstalled, while the older Blocks 30/50 have the ASPIS I suite installed and it is partially upgraded to II features.
