SAAB JAS 39E/F Gripen - General discussion

Center MFD is game convention, i think all map MFD’s are the normal map zoomed in by default for all planes (i might be wrong though).

I’m guessing this is an old screenshot because this is how mine looks in game currently:

The right radar screen is missing details and in total the flight data screen is missing completely as an option.

Do you have a link to the report?

The Pylon itself has the wrong angle, which makes it clip. The pylon changed from C to E, which seems to have been overlooked in the crunch to get it out. It’s been accepted for a handful of days now

Question: does anyone know where the bidirectional nozzle for dumping/grounded refueling is?

From what i’ve seen the pylon is the correct angle but the pod isn’t.

JAS 39A Gripen MFD displays shows wrong information // Issues Community Bug Reporting System

You mean reports? Nobody cares about the Gripen A, everyone flocked to the better Gripen on launch the one that was actually getting attention from Gaijin the SAAF Gripen.

Hey @Smin1080p_WT can we get an answer to the Gripen E and what the devs planned for? Cause its clear they have no interest in an actual production Gripen E so what is the plan? Make us Grind the actual Gripen E with no differences except missiles? What is this the 5th time we’ve had to do that?

So can we expect the current Gripen to get a redone 3D model or will it get a name change to reflect its a early prototype model prior to the Gripen E entering production?

Also how is it that the devs can buff Russian aircraft but cant fix the Gripens MAWs and RWR not being Spherical?

Seems to be the right side base of the tail.

some videos linked showcasing it.

You forgot to mention that the HMD need to change since its a copy paste of the C model, on top of fixing MAW/RWR

Yeah, the cockpit also is a complete mess, missing a lot of features, cannot read anything, and the MFD map is wrongly sized so messes up with your situational awareness. There is no indication for them to solve any of these obvious problems other than marking “accepted” on the reports but please, let’s not call them sloppy :)

The C version has it under the right wing:

Edit:
On the E version the Fuel dump seems to be Here:

to me it looks more like the fuel is coming out of the top of the rudder, like on the EF or Tornado

It would be odd that have it that far forward on the rudder in that case and i can’t personally see any place where it would come out of on the rudder.

The last two images in my previous post you can see how far forward the fuel starts to come out of the plane. Which lines up with the port i marked.

Just found this as well, i think i’m correct here.

Figured I find stuff only 39E related considering @ostgh was wondering about it.

Looks like it was moved due to the new placement of the landing gear possibly blocking the area being more within the wing. Either way is it possible to be bug reported considering Gaijin currently has the fuel dump copy and pasted from the 39A/C?

Should be yeah, this is likely one of the few cases where videos and images are enough for a report :)

To me the IRL one is a slight bit further outside and more canted (might just be confirmation bias tho)

rightnow the fuel ploom is coming from the same point as C ingame

edit: hadn’t read to the bottom yet ;-;

Same with IRST, yet it’s applied on the 6002? you see, it seems like they cherrypicked. They chose the IRST instead of extended wings (i’d personally prefer extended wings cuz irst does nothing ingame atm cant even lock amraams with it), going back to what you said about time. The 6002 early stages didn’t have IRST nor extended wings, so why do we even have a Gripen E ingame? Why are they leaving half of the package? Why are they lazy-devving, rushing?..
