Get the F-16XL in the Space Program Event!

They are also specifically placed into a strike and fighter line and aren’t event vehicles

Realistically, how much time and effort do you think switching the label is?

To a gaijin dev, harder then CTRL + C, CTRL +V

So it did end up as an event vehicle… This is unfortunate since my W button (that I have set for throttle) is broken and upon trying for even a basic head-on exchange, I only racked up about a quarter of the way through the a star in 3 hours.
Looks like I’m sitting out of this one.

I’m very impressed by this one in test drive mode.
I’ll retract my negative statements about how it performs at least until I have spaded it.
It may actually do well at 13.0 in ARB.

Wait, people actually use W/S for throttle?


Casual 24gs (Arcade mode)

I was extremely curious to see how crazy it is in arcade when flying it in realistic

Dunno how common it is, but it’s certainly what I’m used to right now!

Safe to assume the Nuke Thunder event doesn’t track for event score?

I have since OBT. Why change it?

I’ve always used WASDQE for roll, pitch, and yaw, with shift and ctrl for throttle. What do you use for pitch?

Count your days

This is the superior keybind arrangement

When I started playing it put throttle on W and S and the elevator on Ctrl and Shift and that is what I kept.

Are you flying RC aircraft IRL? = )

Nah, I’m married. There is no time or money for hobbies. ;)

Just thought because of your controls: When I used to fly RC gliders, we always had ailerons or rudder on one of the two sticks, elevator on the other, haha! No clue why, always found it counterintuitive, but it worked… = )

Consider changing the keybinds! you’ll see that they are a lot more practical that way :)

You can find the test-flight record for every loadout, besides the extra AMRAAM, in the Test Store Loading table from the F-16XL Flight-Test Logs(p. 309-333) from the Elegance in Flight. It is quite unlikely that one of all the loadouts in the whole table is wind-tunnel only.

Really need to decrease the time these events take. 45k score is WAY too much. 20k score would be more reasonable. I already have one full time job.
