SAAB JAS 39E/F Gripen - General discussion

flares.

Semi unrelated question, i know of a bugreport over the RBS 15 being absent from gripen’s loadouts. is there a suggestion, here in the forums, for it? because if so, i couldn’t find it

@Michael-IR found another issue about the VWS (this time in swedish): Community Bug Reporting System
make that two ig: Community Bug Reporting System
for simplicity i’d chose one or the other, idk

I think the VWS for gripen is different from the ones already in-game so they would need to hire voice actors to make new sets. If i remember correctly there are even different VWS between the versions of Gripen (The A might be in Swedish maybe?) and it’s also dual voice, one male and one female for different situations (I think the male is for flight related things and the female is for combat related things but i’m uncertain).

It would be nice to at least get the copy paste VWS from the US planes in the meantime as a placeholder though.

Wow, that enhanced visual sensor is incredible, didn’t even know that was a thing!

Definitely the one thing I’ll miss about the F-15E in DCS.

Always a nice feature to have in dark or poor weather

Decided to open up a new bug report regarding the Gripen missing a “landing flap” configuration. Kinda how the Rafales and Eurofighter have this feature in game

Really want this camo for the gripen.

On topic. I really just hope they fix some what I consider ‘easy fixes’ as other planes have it already. -360MAW
-Chaff deployment for the MAW’s
-NCTR (FOR THE HUD/Cockpit!)
