you need the blueprint mod for the file type to work since its not a dll

dense cosmos
#

So there's no need to restrict pylons like this

swift cobalt
#

no problem

queen flicker
dense cosmos
#

Also the model is a bit off, I think.

#

The flaps should be wider

#

I'm very sorry if I seem pushy, but the F-16 is a special interest of mine and all these little things make me die inside, especially because you've done a very good job with most of it

vital laurel
#

its basically a modernized carrier capable f-16 variant

#

it is a bit heavy though which is something that will be changed iirc

peak urchin
#

It's still pretty funny to see it being carrier-capable with those little landing gears

vital laurel
#

i got medusa lasered

#

lmfao

vital laurel
#

i can barely land it normally

#

flying this makes me wana get the dcs f-16

dense cosmos
vital laurel
#

nah i know what u mean

#

i brush off some of the inaccuracies as the modernization

dense cosmos
vital laurel
#

also this thing is insanely fast

#

and the upcoming patch will make it lighter

dense cosmos
potent onyx
#

i remember aryx saying that

vital laurel
#

oohhh i got it backwards then

#

yeah i heard that too i guess i just mixed up if it was too heavy or too light

vital laurel
#

revoker has a crazy engine but its a chonky boi

wraith falcon
#

didnt aryx say it was f135 class or

vital laurel
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

pretty sure i have hit 1.6 km/h at like

#

500 meters

wraith falcon
#

oh no it WILL be

#

its f100 rn

vital laurel
#

i wonder how fast it will be at flight ceiling

vital laurel
wraith falcon
#

the f135 engine is crazy powerful

#

its getting buffed

vital laurel
#

lets go

#

gonna make it the fastest plane in the game for crazy cheap

wraith falcon
#

its already got crazy acceleration and twr fully loaded

vital laurel
#

i know right?

#

I have taken off with full fuel and full a2g loadout really well

#

got up to mach one in like

#

20 seconds

#

viper go zoom i guess

wraith falcon
#

🥹 its fun to fly but the. balance

#

im rlly looking forward to more modders

vital laurel
wraith falcon
#

ever since the mig15 mod released theres a lot of new ones randomly popping up

vital laurel
#

way cheaper than the ifrit and kind of better in certain aspects

#

its pretty weak defensively but it can go very fast and carry lots of munitions

wraith falcon
#

its a really great light multirole

vital laurel
#

indeed

#

does struggle in the dogfight tho

#

maybe im just bad

dense cosmos
vital laurel
# dense cosmos What?

to be fair I have been dogfighting ai and they love to randomly extend away and throw me off but i keep getting morbed by ifrits when dogfighting

dense cosmos
#

As far as I'm concerned this thing is crazy good

vital laurel
#

could just be a skissue on my end

wraith falcon
#

theres a video of an f-16's gcas activating after a pilot went unconcious and it pulled up to 9 g's

vital laurel
#

i think it might just be the issue i have with the revoker as well

wraith falcon
#

what we need is canards

vital laurel
#

where its got such a massive twr that i struggle to manage energy

vital laurel
dense cosmos
wraith falcon
#

and relaxed stability and a rato booster

vital laurel
wraith falcon
dense cosmos
vital laurel
#

very possible its a skissue

wraith falcon
#

ok trew

dense cosmos
vital laurel
#

hmmm perhaps i shouldnt constantly be afterburning

wraith falcon
#

WE NEEEED a qf-16 livery

vital laurel
#

a novel thought

wraith falcon
#

i want to larp shooting down target drones

#

i dont know why ive always been fascinated with that

dense cosmos
vital laurel
#

i keep forgetting this thing has a crazy powerful engine (and its not even in its final state)

wraith falcon
dense cosmos
vital laurel
#

like insanely well

#

pulling like 9gs and keeping your speed constant

#

but of course there is always the option of just pressing f in the revoker and instantly caching in all your energy

#

a lot more fun than the torment that was flying in arma 3

thorn venture
#

hello i want ask somethink, why does my F-16 always flip and crash every time I try to take off? Also, the MiG-15 can't take off at all. Is there a possibility of mod incompatibility with this specific mod?

vital laurel
#

NOTT mod hell kills it

thorn venture
#

yes i have nott

#

So, is the NOTT conflicting with this mod?

queen flicker
#

yes

#

it doesn't work with NOTT

thorn venture
#

ah okay i will try remove the NOTT

peak urchin
#

I'm all for supermaneuverability but this is just ridiculous

peak urchin
final salmon
#

you need to be a god for NOTT

Alright.

After messing around with the F-16 for awhile.

Some notes:

Firstly, the RCS is abysmally insufficient. It is so absurdly large that it can be picked up by nearly any radar source from across the entirety of Heartland

This makes flying it an absolute chore for any individual without a good amount of skill. Quite literally more than triple the RCS of a Revoker.

The radar is seemingly incredibly weak to boot compared to other airframes radar.

In addition to this the FBW is incredibly janky. A lot of very strange oscillations in pitch axis. A lot of weird almost ghost inputs when combining Pitch Roll and Yaw. The aircraft also handles very inconsistently across most speed ranges, seemly the same amount of stick input at the same speed could result in two different levels (or more) of actual input in game.

There is a need to readjust the CoG when on ground as the aircraft if extremely wobbly even on landings.

Engine seems a bit over tuned (can super cruise on the deck)

Seems to lack maneuverability anywhere above 300kts, aircraft is entirely too unstable to fly slower than 300kts.

Touching the ground in seemingly random conditions can trigger it to become a FTL capable spacecraft.

Airframe is EXTREMELY fragile to literally any munitions.

Now for positives. The loadout is phenomenal. The aircraft is absolutely stunningly beautiful. And my god, despite what I’ve said it was incredibly fun to fly in N.O.

For reference I spent about 4 1/2 hours straight flying it. I fly on a Winwing Ursa Minor Fighter and a TM TWCS.

Seriously this thing has a lot of potential if a good amount of polishing is done to it. Also maybe eventually a price increase as 44M is very cheap for its capabilities.

#

what even is NOTT?

#

lowkirkenuinely its an old modern fighter in a futuristic battlespace

wicked idol
# night cave Alright. After messing around with the F-16 for awhile. Some notes: Firstly...

I say the same as above. Idk if it was intentional, but the stability assist is off by default at the start - I reckon just for consistency's sake it be on.

The loadout on this thing is incredibly fun. The significant advantage you get from its speed and mission flexibility for the price is offset by the skill required to engage carefully: There's only a handful of flares onboard, and you are a very visible aircraft. Same goes for guns, merging is very fun and attractive, but the ammo evaporates as soon as the trigger is touched. Personally I like this kind of gameplay - whether or not this is accurate irl or not.

Def still needs a bit of polishing on its maneuverability, but one things for sure, with the amount of time spent making this thing work in the state it is now is extremely, extremely commendable. Well done. I had incredible fun playing this 🙏

#

I personally love how this thing flies, and honestly - I expected it to be worse with radar-guided missiles with this RCS, but it is possible to dodge them. Can't say too much about input issues, as I fly with a mouse, so things like that might be harder to notice lol. It is a bit harder to control than vanilla aircraft, but I haven't had too much issues with that, and for some reason - it felt easier to get gun kills than with an Ifrit/Revoker

final salmon
#

you should lowkenuienly do the AC7 livery

#

nvm cant find it

dusky badge
#

we totally need the ukrainian livery

#

ill try practicing on making one today but i totally dont know how to do blender texturing

does this mod conflict with anything like qol

uh i wanna make a livery for this plane but i have no idea how, im used to 2d masking on regular games and have no idea how to navigate blender and unity. can someone help?

real osprey

I think the throttle doesn't belong there right? xd

This mod is great and pretty balanced the only thing I can critique is the floppy stabilizer and that's only during fast maneuvering above mach 1.2 and the rear tail control surfaces gitter due small corrections when above mach 1.7 which could be due to the stabilizer being a little floppy nonetheless it is a very enjoyable mod

Just based on the name i assume its some sort of really light fighter thing

rose junco

yeah maybe it's like a mini drone revoker?

vital laurel
low valley
#

like 2.4m long micro wingman

radiant sky
#

Yeah since 12/4==3, so its a quarter of a revoker

low valley
#

yeah!

radiant sky
#

Mafs

low valley
#

probably can't carry much payload with that size though 🤔

radiant sky
#

Maybe it's some sort of wingman drone thing you can carry

vital laurel
low valley
#

must be perspective

radiant sky
#

Ooh i was right

#

It is a tiny thing you carry

vital laurel
#

maybe?

#

i assumed it was the big one

#

That's just a revoker lol

that's a weird looking f-16 tbh

it's not as egregious as the revoker but it's still pretty meh

I am considering moving it to rank 3 due to it getting the jammer and it being the fastest plane in the game

Wait the hell, just how fast is it

Yep, that is

#

I need a new pair of pants

vital laurel

is that with the updated engine tho?

low valley
#

nope lmao

#

rn it has a stock F100 in it

rose junco
#

Oh god

low valley
#

I attribute this to base game planes not having any area ruling

#

even if the game doesn't consider that when doing drag

vital laurel
#

whats the speed estimate with the f-135

radiant sky
#

What's the twr

rose junco
#

More

#

A lot more

low valley

currently 1.5 dry

the weight and fuel increase will help

man this thing is old

radiant sky
#

Actually i just hope aircraft mods are gonna stay balanced in regards to vanilla so they work well together

low valley
#

F-16's not as good at air sup as the revoker and has terrible defence, horrendous RCS + short range is its balancing factor

#

it's a fast multirole glass cannon in effect

vital laurel
#

the jammer is pretty sad

low valley
#

aye

low valley
rose junco

jammer has an intensity rating of 8

Revoker has the same iirc but the F-16 has a much higher RCS

we dont even have that jammer yet

#

bruh

Are we talking offensive jammer or ecm

#

ecm

I'll be working on new planes (F-22, pit viper, mig29 and my own designs) in a bit after I take a short break, originally I was slated to release the F-16 mid this month but opted to crunch it and now my brain hurts

neon vigil
#

it's not impossible to notch but you do need to be mindful of it's RCS when going into enemy controlled air space which is fair

dense cosmos

I'm just autistic

ah

it's down the line as I want to get other stuff done first

vital laurel
#

oldest airframe in the game will be the best

low valley

first priority atm is QOL and polishing the King Viper

huh it has next to no fuel? perhaps the inner pylons could have fuel tanks, almost like...

perchance!

#

it has 3,260kg of fuel now as opposed to 2900 before

#

still not much

#

but it's slightly better

#

you just gotta be really sparing with the afterburner tbh

#

it's a nice balance point

it's a ferocious multirole, but the range sucks

vital laurel
#

me using it on ignus:

low valley
#

once I figure out the custom logic needed for drop tanks it'll get em

#

Tried landing it. More eager to tip over than the APC xD

vital laurel
#

i like the tripple agm 68s on the inner pylons, two sycthes on the other pylons, and then s3s on the tips with another scythe in the center

#

makes for a pretty mean loadout

pearl granite
#

yeah the loadouts are pretty nasty

vital laurel
#

u can also just replace the 68s with arads and have a good corvette/radar killer

#

There is no way F-16 is over 50 years old

low valley
#

its 50th birthday was last year iirc

compact coral
#

Its waaaaaaay ahead of its time

vital laurel
#

the viper is eternal

low valley
#

consider the fighters that existed 50 years before the f16

compact coral
#

Call me crazy but f-16 looks more modern than f-15 and f-14

pearl granite
#

i do like the loadouts a bit

low valley
#

it's more spec'd to strike than air sup

#

but it can still do it

pearl granite
#

having the chicane's rocket loadout is nasty

low valley
#

I am considering reworking the pylons however to be closer to the irl one in exchange for losing the double mounts for stuff

#

i.e.

you get stations 3 and 7 from the irl one but the current loadout is not increased, it's instead distributed across the pylons

pearl granite
#

I think the loadouts need to be expanded to fit in NucOp

#

but it should feel awkward

#

like the Compass

#

it's hard to pick a loadout that does everything

#

but specalized roles are fine

low valley
#

it's a multirole so it does get a lot of options

pearl granite
#

such as DEAD with limited air to air

#

full air to air

#

strike

#

etc

low valley
#

this thing will be very good at SEAD shortly

#

jammer on the centreline

A compact, directional offensive jammer scaled down for usage on the King Viper. Effective range of around 10km

I don't know the code behind that all too well but that would require UI development and stuff like that. And that feels far more than a midweek project even for someone of her skill

Is this normal?

i love that it’s not a 1:1 F-16 and is integrated into the Lore(TM) as some far off modernisation

it's not compatible with plane mods

okay, not gonna do the jammer

it's a bit too busted

this is why the fsb scares me

the fsb scares many people

but im sure it will be giga expensive or whatever

Update 1.01 to the king viper will be releasing in 2 hours, with a lot of bugfixes and qol

@ livery makers: there will be a new liverybuilder that fixes the UVs of the lerx root

sad to see the jammer go, BUT WE GET THE PIT VIPER

low valley
#

Update 1.02 will probably be pylon changes

#

it will retain its current payloads, BUT they will be distributed across an additional two pylons

oooooooh

low valley
#

total weapons remains the same

rose junco

i see

same weapons more pylons

more authentic to vipers design

e.g. some twin racks will be removed in exchange for the extra pylons

9Gs would be 400~ knots, but you over G and die pretty fast

#

8.5 Gs seem to be more managable but there still potential at 400~ i think

#

rn only thing holding it back from competing with the likes of vort and ifrit is the G limit

#

.............i wonder if blackbox can record this

low valley
#

and lack of TVC

fathom rampart

even then TVC isnt a big factor in a rate fight iirc

#

Ms. Aryx, can I suggest an increase in the heat generated along the non-afterburning range? I find that I can easily flare off S1's and S2's fired from rear-aspect with just 3 or fewer flares. I figured that with a plane this fast, one of the major downsides would be high heat generation and with it, a bigger vulnerability to IR missiles

pearl granite

I'm waiting for the update before trying it out

Well I'm not smart so I never knew

drifting trench
pearl granite
#

nah NOAP actually works with it

#

NOTT doesn't

#

for some reason

bright plinth
#

I mean I can double check right now and see what breaks the plane

#

Cause I know one of the mods makes it virtually uncontrollable

#

And I highly doubt nott breaks it this bad

bright plinth

Ok yeah nott for some reason breaks the fly by wire

#

Great mod, tho I do wonder if its quite poor stability on the taxiway is the intendent thing, because it is quite unstable and can be easily flipped to the side

frank monolith
#

thats just inherit to the design

#

wheel brakes are abhorrent

#

so pretty realistic

acoustic hull
#

It isn’t designed to turn with a full load at 30 knots

#

Actually I’ve tipped it at 16

#

You have to be careful

vale yoke
#

So thats why f16s go slow when taxing

frank monolith
#

mostly because thats the speed limit in taxiing

acoustic hull
#

Yes

#

Very tippy

#

And planes don’t really flip themselves irl

low valley
#

it'll be improved with the update, working on it atm

#

centre of gravity lowered a teeny bit

acoustic hull
#

Yay

Idk how you did ts bro

#

frank monolith

do you think it will be compatible with NOTT sometime in the future?

tuning could be better

#

bit of a pain to get right though

took like an entire week to get FS-3 fully relaxed , that was funny

Me neither

i cant be sure if its a compatibility problem or if the file i downloaded is partially corrupt. i doubt it since the plane functions perfectly

#

then slow down

dense burrow
#

but if it happens consistantly doesnt that mean that there is something that needs patching?

dense burrow
pearl granite
#

yeah this happens all the time with Blueprinter mods, if there's one file that doesn't exist or something isn't configured because it's unused, Blueprinter shows an error

do you use airbrakes when you slow down?

modern swallow

#

NOTT works okay with the Ternion, although NOTT doesn't work right

#

it generates no adverse effects

#

the mod just doesn't really work properly

#

I'm not sure why it'd break for Aryx's mods

#

maybe it's due to the custom gauge assets?

#

and for context the Ternion utilizes Blueprinter

dense burrow
#

yeah the plane starts shaking heavily at high gs

pearl granite
#

hey @solid bobcat can you grab the F-16M and load NOTT with it

I want to see if it's a NOTT issue or an issue with Aryx's config

personally I get more SU-47 vibes from it. just without the forward swept wings

the FS-3 can have an immense weapons payload so it's understandable

modern swallow
frank monolith
modern swallow
pearl granite
#

I see more 57 in it than 47

#

it's probably the tail configuration though

low valley
#

gota fbw tuning session on

#

should be better shortly

frank monolith
#

doesnt particularly share it with a specific aircraft

pearl granite
#

fair

#

I just think it more closely resembles the 57 because of the stabilators slotting into the main wing

frank monolith
#

the F-22 has that too

#

and Su-47

#

wait

#

it doesnt im tweaking

#

but its a thing that the 22 and 57 have

pearl granite
#

yeah it's like you took the tail of the 47 and slotted it

we should prolly move to the general mod forum

Let me try again and pay close attention

keep in mind both the F-16 and Mig-15 have stability assist disabled by default

It caused me to body slam the aircraft into the runway once

might be a stupid question, whats a .nobp file....

it's a file Blueprinter reads

it's named nobp so BepInEx won't try to load it on its own and shit the bed iirc

ahhhhh okok tysm tysm

some Blueprinter mods are dlls tho because they introduce new functionality to the game or Blueprinter

for instance Kar and Bote load new functionality and change core parts of the game
