DCS F-16C VIPER | Launch Trailer

[@GlowingAmraam]

Hi everyone, just chiming in here to say that I am grateful for all the nice feedback and comments on the trailer. It is much appreciated, both to myself and the ED team. Thank you! :)

[@DoveEnigma13]

There you are. I couldn’t remember your name, but I tried to give you credit. As always you make the rest of us look like amateurs and fools with your top quality editing and flow.

No thank you ED for your continued devotion to providing your community with access to the most advanced high fidelity combat flight simulator. More than happy to continue to invest for many more years to come.

[@travistolbert2647]

I started flight siming back with Chuck Yeager's Air Combat on 4.5" floppy disks. Seeing the steady advance of flight model fidelity and graphical advances has been nothing short of amazing to me. The Eagle Dynamics team and their partnered developers have made combat flight siming an absolutely amazing experience! Thanks for your continued hard work and continual improvement to this spectacular platform!

Yes Cuck Yeagers Air Combat on Floppy Disks. I remember that. Followed by all the stuff like Falcon 3, Janes Combat Simulations etc. Man, those good old times. I had played them all. I never believed, that we can reach so an amazing level of detail. I am now over 50 years old. I am still playing. I love it. Maybe I will playing if I get 90 years old😂

I love that you say thank you. I can honestly say your welcome. I'm a older gamer but it started with a pencil and paper. Drawing the tanks and then the planes. Then the shoot out.(yes, that long ago) Bought and supported every single flight sim as it came along on every platform (all of them). Finally you guys nailed it 100%. Thank you DCS. Your professional (no ads, email scams, tack ons) website and secure payment system makes it perfect. I have almost all the modules but only fly a few but feel I have supported something priceless. I'm sure you remember me saying don't change a dam thing because it's perfect. I haven't mastered the Tom Cat but will be sure to buy the F-16 just to rip it around and support what you/we have accomplished. GJ Eagle Dynamics.

I’m no stranger to dcs been playing it since 2011 and blackshark before that. 3900 hrs all the modules since I think 4/5. Dcs is without a doubt the premier commercially available military air combat sim. One of the coolest features is the flight dynamics and The physics I never really understood the fly by wire until the f16 and it shows with tiny joystick movements the fcs interprets what you want to do. Every dcs module has their own feel inertia turning speed fuel usage drag everything is calculated making the depth and complexity unmatched. Absolutely can’t say enough good things. Great job ED

[@Mike-ck6jh]

MIssile at the very end as the Viper rolled inverted was so epic!

[@jordanleng204]

The missile knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't, by subtracting where it is, from where it isn't, or where it isn't, from where it is, whichever is greater, it obtains a difference, or deviation. The guidance sub-system uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the missile from a position where it is, to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn't, and it follows that the position where it was, is now the position that it isn't. In the event of the position that it is in is not the position that it wasn't, the system has required a variation. The variation being the difference between where the missile is, and where it wasn't. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it too, may be corrected by the GEA. However, the missile must also know where it was. The missile guidance computance scenario works as follows: Because a variation has modified some of the information the missile has obtained, it is not sure just where it is, however it is sure where it isn't, within reason, and it knows where it was. It now subracts where it should be, from where it wasn't, or vice versa. By differentiating this from the algebraic sum og where it shouldn't be, and where it was. It is able to obtain a deviation, and a variation, which is called error.
