SAAF JAS-39C Technical Data and Discussion

[CorporalApollo]

Nice! Finally the actual Gripen C cockpit. I wonder if the spelling mistake is still there lol

[CorporalApollo]

There’s bug reports open about the HUD and HMD, I also believe someone made one about the tint

[DefinitelySatan]

Yes that was me that did the tint one I believe. Its been forwarded to the developers but apart from that, no news on whether it’ll be implemented or not

Gripen in NATO: Sweden's Anti-Russia Fighter

[Godvana]

One interesting point he made was how easy it is to fly… Which is funny because Chris is a WT player :D

[CorporalApollo]

Really cool video
7:25; at altitude hold you’re controlling the Gripen with pedals, freeing both hands for other things
13:40; Gripen can guide missiles to 4 targets at the same time (possibly due to only carrying 4 BVR missiles?), and track 10 prioritised, with many more the system can track at all times.

Is it just me having a seizure or are gripen canards in game moving in the opposite direction of what they should be?

[MiG_23M]

You’re not having a seizure, or a stroke. The entire flight model is wrong.

Gaijin has implemented the aircraft as statically stable until they can fix their physics engine and instructor.

@MiG_23M

The entire flight model is wrong.

It’s certainly modelled as a stable aircraft with the elevator (or whatever the terminal part of the delta wing is) controlling the pitch, but that does not prevent them getting canard animation right lol

[Mytho-GR1]

Cannards aren’t modeled correctly

[MiG_23M]

That’s not modeled correctly either, to maintain level flight at low airspeeds the ‘elevator’ (trailing edge flaps) should deflect downwards. As should the leading edge flaps and canard.

In-game there is no instability in the Gripen FM at all.

@CorporalApollo

I just suggested you make a dedicated thread about it instead of instigating this contentious topic again just because it’s been 2 weeks since the moderators had to step in and shut it down.

Issues with the Jas39 gripen flight model

This thread is intended to discuss the flight model of the Jas39 gripen. Please keep the discussion civil as toxicity won’t help the game. Let’s not get this thread closed like: https://forum.warthunder.com/t/nerf-the-ja39-gripen-flight-model/ Since it’s introduction and despite having been nerfed many times since it’s release the Jas39 gripen is without a doubt the best top tier plane in terms of flight performance, with his extremely high manoeuvring energy retention at all subsonic speeds as…

Made before discussion starts happening here again

I know, I was just saying that the animation could have been gotten right while fm behaviour is wrong… let’s take this to the other thread anyway, mine was just a “cosmetic” question

[Giovanex05]

Cool video, I wish in warthunder we got more realistic cockpit (with real life looks and instruments modeled), especially for sim.

[Mytho-GR1]

Weapons for the Gripen that was shown to India

[CorporalApollo]

Nice find!

Really hope we get the RBS-15 at some point, along with RB-04

[DevilO6]

2 IRIS-T 2 ASRAAM and 2 METEOR? Yes sir!

[Mytho-GR1]

Why i can’t i just find derby mounted

[Mytho-GR1]

Interesting photo of a Gripen

[CorporalApollo]

I find a lot of cool photos scouring through the Swedish sources

Mounted upside down for testing antennas

Fighter jet airbag lol


High alpha tests
