F-16 Fighting Falcon: History, Performance & Discussion

As if metric is any less made up.

At least knots and nautical miles directly come from longitude and latitude measurements so they are useful in navigation

We are getting severly off topic but no, as you can even see in this very game - just go into any plane cockpit, nobody had problems with navigation in metric, and thats before global radio networks and satellite.

Its a silly excuse to use antiquated system.

The moment we have enough (non-classified/non-export restricted/Public) information that the Belgian F-16AM uses those, even with the various visual indentifications of the system in-use. Then appropriate bug reports can be made. I will certainly try…

There is a video hosted on Vimeo of a Belgian F-16AM pilot talking about the transition from JHMCS to Scorpion whilst sat in the cockpit and showing off the HMD.

Would that be enough?

Even shows the sensors placed on the canopy.

The video was originally from a Key Aero article about them switching to Scorpion but it seems to be inaccessible now.

Its sister report has already been submitted as a suggestion:

The radar damage model for all F-16s in-game is the AN/APG-68. This also affects aircraft like the F-16CM PoBIT and F-16V, which utilise the AN/APG-83, as well as aircraft such as the F-16A MLU Block 20, which uses the AN/APG-66(V)3. The cockpit damage model for the F-16A MLU Block 20 is also incorrect and doesn’t align with the visual model.

For people who often submit bug reports, use this information however you will

Edit: ended up making one myself regarding the F-16A MLU

I made one with the radar model

Is there any way the PoBIT can carry MAWS + missiles on the same pylon? Like some upgraded PIDS that can carry AIM-120s or AGM-88s.

As far as i know no, there were some designs for that but so far we haven’t seen anything in practice.
