Block 70/new cockpit release plans?
-
Why the online servers doesn’t go?
-
So far I only managed to get Yame64 (+ workaround) in latest BMS
The Lightning tool doesn’t work in 4.34U3, at least I can’t.
Are these all the options so far for CPD users?
Lightning MFDE? It works fine in 4.34, and indeed 4.35 and 4.36…

Wauw that’s great, I’d already given up
I need help:attention: please

All Lightning Tools work with 4.34. If they don’t than its more likely that you don’t meet the prerequisites such as .NET libs.
As I develop 3rd party tools for BMS myself Lightnings Libraries are the most helpfull tools.
But in the end I compile them all from sourceGesendet von meinem SM-G930F mit Tapatalk

It all works, except CPD, it seems to a separate tool with own icon.
Screen appears but frozen, surely I’m doing something wrong -
Yes F16CPD is it’s own tool but still can run in parallel with all other MFDE extractions.
On the F16CPD all the 3 main pages are working for me. Only the Checklist and Charts on the Map page are non functional and I haven’t had time to check in the source if they are not implemented or just missing some resourcesGesendet von meinem SM-G930F mit Tapatalk

Great it works for you
But I probably need some basic info to point out what I’m missing here. -

I tested it before and although MFDE works fine and the .Net library were recently updated to 4.8, I still can’t get CPD from Lightning to work with 4.34 either. It’s displays fine, key are programmed fine but it doesn’t read the sharemem and stay immobile.
Until I quit BMS, then the CPD gets updated and the gauges move to depict the last state when 3D was exited.
I stopped after a white trying to make this work and eventually reverted to YAME.
I’d be interested to know how to make this CPD software working too. -
satisfy your curiosity, watch and see if this is what you are looking for !!
The cockpit configuration has also changed a lot. The one proposed by the upgrade of the F-16 Block 70 was an evolution of the Viper cockpit, baseline with the HUD (head-up display), two large monitors on the front panel and a high resolution color video CPD (Center Pedestal Display ). Instead, based on Lockheed Martin’s launch video, the F-21 will have a wide-angle HUD and a Large Area Aviation Display very similar to that used by the F-35.
_Block 70 upgrades include AESA radar (Active Electronically Scanned Array), a modern COTS-based avionics subsystem, the AN / APX-126 Advanced IFF, the Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System II, CFT (conformal fuel tanks), and a high-volume, high-speed data bus, as well as other baseline features such as Theater Link-16 data link, Sniper Advanced Targeting Pod, advanced weapons, precision GPS navigation and automatic collision avoidance system on ground (Auto GCAS).
One of the most interesting updates from the Block 70 to the baseline F-16s is Northrop Grumman’s advanced AESA APG-83 radar, which allows for greater detection and tracking ranges, multiple target tracks (20-plus tracks), high resolution Aperture Radar Synthetic Maps (SAR) for precision operations in all environments, interspersed between air-air and air-surface, to improve situational awareness, operational effectiveness and survivability, robust electronic protection for operations in environments dense radio frequency (RF). Interestingly, the APG-83 is derived from the highly successful Northrop Grumman family of 5th generation AESA radars, APG-77 from the F-22 and APG-81 from the F-35, thus providing radar capabilities to the F-16, from 5th Generation platforms with hardware and commonality of software with the AESA radars of the F-22 and F-35.
Stay safe !!!

I guess that was predictable…
