Del newsletter de hoy gran cantidad de información, incluyendo que el F-16 seguirá un proceso similar al de F/A-18C Block 20 Hornet en su desarrollo, una salida anticipada y un modo de mantenimiento en el que se añadirán el resto de sistemas. Ya está trabajando un pequeño equipo en el modelo 3D externo e interno, sistema de control de vuelo y modelo de vuelo, a medida que los diferentes ingenieros del F/A-18C vayan completando sus tareas, pasarán a implementar funcionalidad en el Falcon.
El modelo el el F-16C Block 50 con la actualización CCIP de la USAF y la guardia aerea nacional de estados unidos (ANG). Entre las novedades tenemos la integración del visor del casco con el pod de HARM, el link 16 y el AIFF (Sistema de identificación avanzado amigo enemigo / Mode 5 Advanced Identification Friend or Foe (AIFF) de la USAF, el pod AN/ASQ-213 para el HARM, pod de designación avanzado Sniper XR, los soportes avanzados BRU-57/A, los misiles aire superficie AGM-158/A JASSM y los señuelos remolcados AN/ALE-50.
Por supuesto, esto es solo un plan, no es una linea de tiempo, sujeto a cambios y no escrito en piedra.

DCS: F-16C Update
As mentioned in our yearly wrap up, one of our biggest projects for this year is the legendary F-16C Fighting Falcon, also called the Viper. In parallel with the Hornet, we already have a sub-team working on the Viper that includes programmers who have completed their Hornet tasks. Much of their focus is currently on the flight model, Flight Control System (FLCS), cockpit and the external model. Using much of what we learned with the Hornet, progress has been good, and is in no way slowing down Hornet completion.
As we pour the concrete, we can start to pass along some of our plans. Please remember they are plans, not timeline promises.
Our Viper will be an F-16C with the Common Configuration Implementation Program (CCIP) upgrade. We feel this to be the most versatile version of the F-16 with capabilities for SEAD, precision attack, close air support, anti-ship, and of course air-to-air. We will be taking great care though to develop a very accurate simulation of the F-16C Block 50 operated by the United States Air Force and Air National Guard circa 2007.
Core systems of our F-16C include:
F-110-GE-129 turbofan engine
AN/APG-68(V)5 multi-mode radar
AN/ALR-56M Radar Warning Receiver
AN/ALQ-131/184 ECM pods
CCIP (Common Configuration Implementation Program) update
ALE-47 countermeasure system
This will be a massive project, so we will separate it into two phases: Phase 1 Early Access release and then Phase 2 Product Sustainment.
Phase 1 Early Access Release:
Color Multifunction Display (CMFD) symbology, Horizontal Situation Display (HSD) format, and Head-up Display (HUD) symbology
Digitally TACAN and Electronic Horizontal Situation Indicator (EHSI)
BDU-33, BDU-50LD/HD, Mk-82LDGP, Mk-82AIR, Mk-84LDGP, BLU-109/B, CBU-87 CEM, and CBU-97 SFW unguided bombs
2.75” rockets LAU-68 and LAU-131
Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System (JHMCS)
AIM-9L/M/P/X Sidewinder
AIM-120B/C AMRAAM
M61A1 20mm cannon
Phase 2 Product Sustainment:
Multifunctional Information Distribution System (MIDS)
Link 16 Data Link
AGM-65D/G/H/K Maverick
AGM-88C HARM
AN/ASQ-213 HARM Targeting System (HTS)
Sniper XR Advanced Targeting Pod
GBU-10, GBU-12, GBU-24A/B laser-guided bombs
BRU-57/A Smart Rack
CBU-103 CEM and CBU-105 SFW Inertially Aided Munitions (IAM)
GBU-31/A, GBU-32, and GBU-38/B JDAM
AGM-154/A and /B JSOW
AGM-158/A JASSM
Integration of the JHMCS with the HARM Targeting System (HTS), Link 16, and AIFF
ALE-50 towed decoy
As this project accelerates, we will be providing updates to keep you abreast of our progress to this much awaited addition to DCS World.
