Sometimes the plane just moves slowly to the left or right when i set it to off.

I understand, it corrects the deviations due to wind or gyroscopic drift

It’s mostly helpful with Warbirds (for us who have any) cause they are a pain in the @ when taxiing,if you don’t have rudder pedals

A lot of planes have arresting hooks - that doesn’t mean they’re designed or intended for carrier landings.

For real ? I didn’t know that.Pardon me then.
And what for it exists?

Hi everyone ! Really enjoying the F16 experience in FS2020. Thanks SC design !! Anyone could mod the F16 to avoid having the aircrafts fading away when in close formation ? Tried the 0 minsize for the LODs in the xml file but did not work out… Cheers !

Sometimes aircraft have to land when overweight or with damaged flight control systems or brakes. There’s actually a pretty good article with a lot of detail about it on Quora:

Well,another day that i learned something new.
Thank you very much

Sadly, that’s down to Asobo to fix, we can’t control that really. I hope they just do away with it, spoils all the fun of close formation flying.

Thanks Dean ! I saw that there was a mod that zeros the minsize for the FA18 but did not try it. Was thinking this was a global way of doing it…

A few decent short videos out there on the arresting system for the f-16. Here is one, with a little commentary toward the end by some AF guys.

Can also be used for ground arrest in emergencies.

Dear developers, with every passing day I like the F-16 more and more. But there is something that bothers me extremely. The canopy receives shadows. Am I the only one who cares?

DEAN01973 · December 18, 2021, 9:23am

I had also noticed that - I will see if the material can be altered to remove those.

Center → 0
AIM9 → 158 KG
AGM88 → 170 KG

AN _ → 158 KG

Thanks man but i already turned them into LBS and saved me the trouble for all other birds

SAKISAPPOLON · December 18, 2021, 7:14pm

A few observations that i made,if i am not mistaken.
The switches for the pilots mask wear and the glass de ice on the F16-C variant(HAF to be precise,if it makes any difference) are inverted.
It’s like the de ice is on,while it’s off.I saw that when i turned on the PITOT HEAT which is normal to off
Then,in the HAF livery,the letters "Ι Α Σ Ω Ν " which is JASON in English,Jason of the Argonauts,are mirrored and so they seem with no sense.It’s like spelling USAF in one side and FASU on the other.
I am not complaining.I am just saying it is there.
Cheers

Man…please make the pilot be as an option to be visible(in all birds) so the seat won’t be empty for us creating videos like this
