SAAB JAS 39E/F Gripen - General discussion

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.

Now this is something really cool that would be very neat to see as a mechanic for top tier aircraft that has the capability:

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

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!)

And someone is aware of helicopters in the Swedes research branch? And then I’m tired of the only nation in the game without a helicopter, even the Germans upped the helicopter, it’s very disappointing

then call the swedish goverment and tell them to buy new helicopters
