Question for BMS crew: What are your data sources?
-
Just curious, what does the BMS development team use as its go-to sources for the many aspects of BMS data?
I’d imagine that real dash one manuals are used extensively, and they’re pretty easy to find online.
But for the rest?
-
Crystal ball.
As said in the forum real ppl.
Don’t dig it deeper leave it as is. It’s the best out there. -
OK, next question: Can anyone point me to any references that define how the F-16s (of any given block) differ from one customer to another? To cite examples, how is a Block 52 for the USAF going to differ from one flown by Belgium, the Netherlands, Poland, Turkey, Singapore, Israel, Greece, South Korea, etc? Aside from obvious language/alphabet variances, that is.

No
But you could try Google and compile the info you need.
And in what time period would like to make the comparison, requirements & capabilities are always in flux.

F16net… It’s a site for F-16 has all the answers for those variations, at least the ones allowed to be said.

In what area? Avionics, flight performance, stores compatibility? F-16.net is a good start, but any time you start asking about interesting things, people start zipping up and muttering OPSEC….
Some specific areas are easier to find information on than others. concrete information on capabilities tends to be limited to what manuals you can find, in my limited experience in the area.
