WIP: JA37 Viggen
-
Good news!
I love this station-wagon fighter!:D -
Currently on the todo list for the JA37:
- get the ‘wings from the cockpit-sight’ ingame to add immersion
- tweaking the FM to make it as real as possible
- hope and pray it will be in the next BMS release!
Bad and good news btw, the former JA37 pilot couldn’t fit it into his time scheme. The good news: an even more experience college of him will do the job! Me very happy!
-
Great news buddy!!!
Cheers
-
cool!!
-
A little update: due to real life obligations, Topolo hasn’t had time yet to start with tweaking the FM. But it’s on top of his priority list.
-
And a WIP picture from another thread:
-
I started the FM rework based on the available documentation (that is more than enough, thanks ! )
Target is to provide a first draft (valid for clean A/C only at MIL power and Max A/B, T/O and Landing not tuned) in 3 or 4 weeks from now (BMS weeks, not IL-2 weeks)
At the moment, the only problem I saw with current BMS data is related to Drag Index of External Tank, it should be equal the the one of 2xAIM-9+2xSkyflash, so around 40, but as I said, I will not take into account loaddout in my first draft, So this is not a rela problem for the moment. -
And some more good news: there probably will be a new dedicated 3D cockpit! Qawa is back in town :headb:
-
Snail,
I haven’t forgotten your request. I’ve just been busy. I’ll get to it soon.
-
Here are some figures describing current state of my work (FM definition for a clean A/C only, no take-off/landing configuration, no fuel-flow)
-
Good to see progress! Looking forward to the first beta FM ingame!

Very nice!! How you manage to interpret those charts into something useful in the sim is beyond me, great job m8!!Cheers
-
Cant wait for this! Looks absolutely awesome and then some…
-
I am truly amazed by the time spent, the good initiative and the knowledge of you people. This is gonna be Awesome. How is the cockpit made? (Totally new to it so I know stupid question but… )
Also, is there no way you could use information about flight stuff from models of the viggen in FSX etc? Is it really needes to invent the wheel? Again perhaps a stupid question…
In any case. Looking forward to thisone :).
-
Unlike in FSX, the flight model in BMS will be based on real data, that’s why the ‘wheel is reinvented’
-
Looking good! Keep up the good work!
-
How is the cockpit made?
just started few hours ago… in the next days some screens with progress
-
This is going to be amazing!

If you can keep this quality, you may double your 3.71 seconds time to produce a 3D cockpit
Nice start mate!

This is two images of the Tactical Display from 1984
The triangle is the aircrafts own position and the line drawn from the triangle shows how far it will go in 1 minute.
The left picture show the landingbase and runway heading (23) then a 20km line to a “turn in circle”
The right picture show the same except the circle (different landing mode), here the aircraft has gear down and at the down right corner the weight of the aircraft and the referens alpha for that weight is displayed.cheers
