IndiaFoxtEcho (Dino's) Eurofighter Typhoon released

@Chris Sykes

I'll have a look at the TFLIR controls.
As for the gun port...good catch! You are the first one highlighting this... but it is an intentional omission. I modeled it, but it kind of spoiled the normals and the reflections in the area...and after many attempts I could not make it "right". So I preferred to leave it out.

Hi Dino,

Thanks for the reply, and reasons why its missing. just looked odd when watching externally when firing the gun. Secondly the effect for the gun seems further out than it should?

Great vid, not that I needed an incentive to buy a Dino made modern combat aircraft with Tacpack functions! Can't wait for your B737 Dino (just joking).

Dino, Defense World has put up two interesting videos on their Channel that might be of interest.

Hmm.. that looked like GenX he was flying over in the second vid

My thoughts are Prepar3d with Genx. there's some more with Mach loop flights

[DaveB]

Yup.. P3D is a dead cert. One things for sure.. it's not running on an i5-2500K/GTX560Ti

It looks like He's taken off from BAE Warton.

That's for sure too. The other ones where Mach Loop is shown they are also Warton take off and landing.

Haha or an i7 and GTX1070

Thanks for the appreciation guys! I can tell you that this one has been a huge effort... I am glad you like it!

Oh yes, i like it. Thank you.

[flaviossa]

I installed the VRS_TacPack_FSX_1.4.3.4 version but the model will not be accepted!

[Mach3DS]

Based on 98-0004 Block 50 F-16C 85th TES. Still WIP but almost finished.

@StormILM.
Thanks for reporting what you found. I did have at least one other similar report.
The issue was inadequate yaw stability at high AOA. I fixed this by changing the appropriate coefficient scalar in the air file. With the fix I got it up to 53 AOA and full power plus full forward stick gave a straight recovery.
Dino has the new air file and will issue it with the next update.

I should have seen this issue, but I missed it. All such issues are relatively easy to fix if I have a clear report and can reproduce the fault. My aim in the FDE Development was "Carefree handling", with this fix I think/hope we are there.
Thanks again,
Roy

Thanks for the update Roy. In the meantime I have used Rollus' Rafale FDE (his payware version) in this model. I only had to make adjustments to the thrust but otherwise, it handles like a dream with that FDE. I look forward to testing the new FDE when the update is ready.

[Mach3DS]

Changed the body and wing striping to be more authentic. 99% Done. The mapping is a little weird with this one...not sure how Dino did it...but it warps the image is some locations....in order to get the roundels correct they are actually stretched out in the PSD file...strange...at any rate, solved!

[StormILM]

That's simply HOT Rick! Can't wait to fly the scheme on her!

[Daube]

Looks great indeed !!

[Mach3DS]

Thanks guys. Looking to release this week. I want to add just a little weathering around some panels....not dirt...weathering. then should be good!

[Mach3DS]

Ok, a little more research has lead me here. The "Have Glass" paint scheme applied a new RAM coating to certain F-16 units. Because it was textured it actually held onto dirt more so than standard and had a slightly metallic shine. I've tried to apply that to this paint scheme as best I could without starting completely from scratch and repainting everything by hand (which I don't nearly have time for...sorry). I've made the diffuse play nicer with the speculars as is and darkened the paint back up just a little bit. I think this will be it? Added some weathering to the CFT, which I'm not sure I like too much. Should I leave it or bring it back in?

[cortomalteseit]

It's simply awesome!!!

[StormILM]

Maybe I missed it but is there a way to get the slipper tanks to show w/o TacPack?

[Mach3DS]

The have glass F-16C scheme is no available in the library. Enjoy.

Work in progress of a fictional scheme, reproducing an Italian Navy Typhoon.
If the results will be good, I'll upload it at Flightsim.com
