Two comments:

(1) This video run in anything larger than a postage stamp is too pixelated to even make out the airplane once it passes dead center.
(2) Unfortunately, using a video to show off flight dynamics isn't very telling because I can do the same things in the Lago Falcon and it doesn't really "tell" you anything except that it can roll, climb, turn and dive.

A more revealing video would have been to show off the cockpit in detail, HUD displays, PDF and MFD displays, night and day lighting interior, exterior flight control surfaces, exhaust at various power settings and so on.

Google Video chopped the dimensions by at least half during the upload, and I didn't see a way to change the resolution for the upload. If someone knows how to change this, or knows of a better website for video's, I'd be happy to reupload it.

As far as the other comments; I'll just repeat what I've already said. This was intended to display the flight portion of the model, and there are maneuvers in the video which the Lago F-16 absolutely could not perform. If the flight model isn't the most interesting part of an add-on aircraft, then I'm sorry to have let you down in that regards; but flight is my specialty, and consequently it is the topic I try to stick with. If you are interested in the cockpit, I believe there are a few VC walkthroughs already uploaded.

First of all I didn't pay any attention to who posted the video or where it was being played from. I assumed this was a vid direct from Aerosoft. My apologies for the blunt nature of my comments.

I didn't watch the whole vid because it was too blurry, I just didn't see anything in the portion I watched that I couldn't replicate in just about any fighter.

I'm sure the F-16 will be a fine offering. I'm just not overly impressed with vids of it flying around having worked on the real thing for over 16yrs.

Well.... It's going to be good to get it published, been on it for too long. Here in Norway everything is fine, I get a doze of F-16s from time to time at the base. Nothing's like the real thing.

I bet it'll be 29,99 or something in Euros.
You get 22+ different models (INT and EXT) and just below 60 paints for that and custom flight dynamics for each different loadout category.

Surely this Viper is a 'monster' expecially for the painters like you :applause:
