SamXplane Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 How do you get the Autopilot to fly the Legs route on the CDU? I've tried every thing I can think of. Anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeckardTrinity Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Just bought this plane and am very impressed - I fly solely in VR with an Oculus Rift and the virtual cockpit looks very good in VR. Looking forward to digging in to the controls but so far it handles and flies extremely well. I've flown a freeware F-22 for the past month or so and appreciate the roominess of that cockpit vs the F-16 - this is one snug little plane!

Thank you 8 Weapons MFD details are in the manual. The gear warner does not operate in the circumstance you quote. Do you have a plugin causing this, perhaps?

No, i don't have a plugin causing this Anyway, i have one more question, please : after i select some missiles, for example 2 x Sidewinder and 2 x AMRAAM, after everything is loaded, and I'm flying, i do have the standard weapons preset, and I have to select again the missiles I want They should remain as they are, even after I close / reopen the game Edited March 4, 2019 by Blue_X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartinMu Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 (edited) Looking at the HUD. I am still disappointed with it. I would really welcome if it could be adjusted more to the real one, while in navigation mode. I am OK with having one real mode Edited March 5, 2019 by MartinMu 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Standard / Systems. The point was to illustrate that the warner will not activate in the circumstances you described unless something outside of the F-16 is interfering. 11 hours ago, MartinMu said: Looking at the HUD.

Al Toid Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Just bought this plane today. Fun to fly! And great FPS! Only problem I'm having so far is every time I fire a missile, no matter how far away the target, when the missile hits it, suddenly my plane catches fire and dies as if the missile somehow struck me. Anyone else experiencing this? It's like some weird bug that mistakes the missile's impact as a direct hit on me...again, even when the actual impact happened miles away.

Voidhawk9 Posted March 6, 2019 Author Share Posted March 6, 2019 X-plane isn't a combat sim, so functions like that tend to be less than perfect, unfortunately. I haven't experienced that exactly, yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are using combat and choose an enemy aircraft that has weapons, then my guess is you are also hearing a fast and some what soft-repeating tone right before you blow up? If so, that means the other jet has fired on you, and when you blow up, it is because it hit you with a missile. Missiles are incredibly hard to evade in X-Plane combat mode. Just as Voidhawk9 mentioned, this isn't a combat simulator, therefore the AI combat is going to be... rather interesting. So to recap, my suspicion is that you are getting shot down by the enemy. Or, there is a bug and you should file it with Laminar Research since you appear to be the only one reporting the issue. Additionally, if you haven't already, it would probably be helpful to find and study, tried and true combat maneuvers, for the plane you are flying...

I have combat mode disabled essentially (no enemy planes in the air)...was just testing out the weapons on the plane, firing into a distant mountain for example. Never expect X-Plane to be a combat sim...just would enjoy shooting off a missile now and then without blowing up for no apparent reason:) I'll test with other planes later and see if it is isolated to this one or not, which is something I realized I hadn't done before posting last night. Thanks guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LovinVR Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 I am having trouble with this aircraft. Whenever I am landing and deploy the airbrakes the plane will tilt to the side once on the runway. I am have spent hundreds of hours watching F-16's land and take off. Although, I am not an F-16 pilot, I know this is nowhere near accurate. I also noticed that the yaw damper does not work correctly as well. It pretty much does the same thing as the air brakes when activated/deactivated. Just activate it and then look at the chase view while on the runway, and you will see what I mean. Other than these minor things, so far I love this version of the aircraft. Please correct these discrepancies, or inform me how to correct them, so I can land the F-16 without any problems. Please note, I have been flying Xplane for 12 years and am an extremely experienced at this simulation. We are talking 2 to 3 hours just about every day for that time period. Thank you in advance for fixing the problems noted above, and keep up the great work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not see this at all. The yaw damper works fine, and the airbrakes have no asymmetric effect either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batrakiu Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 (edited) No problem here with the airbrake or the yaw damper. If you choose the chase view and turn the plane side to side you see the tail ruder working and compensating. And with the yaw dumper OFF the rudder stay still. In the weapons use and the plane crashing: yes it happens even when firing to the ground. No back fire and missile evade BS. 😒 If you are close to the detonations the aircraft will crash in the air. This is usual, but in this model is worst. Even at 1000ft the plane crash. The freeware Typhoon don't have this problem. This plane to a payware is weak. No radar or something visual like it, no cool HUD, no texture normal map. Take that freeware Typhoon for reference.. you will see that $25 is too much for what's offered in this F16. Hope for same update/upgrade. Edited March 7, 2019 by batrakiu 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeckardTrinity Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 I encountered the tilting when landing at Dover AFB, but this was with a 9kt rear quartering x-wind. Not sure if the real plane would tilt like that with a tailwind but it was surprising when I hit the brakes and it started leaning over.

Gustavo Moros Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 I bought the plane today, still trying to find out how to turn on the cockpit lights, i know the manual says about those 3 botoms, but i have try to click in all the possible way cant get it to work, the another is the sound, is there any chances to get a better sound, i mean from inside the engines sounds like a cesna ... well not that extreme but someting in that way //Gustavo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
