SAAF JAS-39C Technical Data and Discussion

This is epic, sad to see that the HUD still has no tint but still this is progress.

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

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

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

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

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?

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.

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

Cannards aren’t modeled correctly

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.

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

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