Excellent work, I am really looking forward to this plane! Will it have a HUD? I don’t know how advance the HUD of the real Viggen was…<o

Thanks, Henk. I'm glad she gets a HUD.

You can get the Viggen at AVSIM now: alphasim_viggen_fsx_native_v2.zip
I hope you will enjoy the awesome paintwork by Dave and Jens-Ole as much as I do, the new textures give the old model a tremendous boost.

This is one of "Top Five" airplanes I would LOVE to see MILVIZ do:
1. Martin B-57B/EB-57E
2. F-8E Crusader (RF-8A or G would be a bonus, but is likely too much to hope for)
3. Lockheed U-2C
4. Saab AJ/SJ-37 Viggen
5. Saab Grippen
6. Lockheed T-33A (the sixth is needed only if Vertigo doesn't finish theirs [and to me, it looks more and more doubtful as we hit the 4 or 5 year WIP point...would LOVE to be proven wrong on this point, however!!!])
This baby looks gorgeous...I love Swedish "splinter camo" on this bird...
Face it...I just LIKE this bird! Well done!

I only did the metal work and some others. JensOLe did the hard work, on the paint kit and splinter camo. But many thanks Rick - it's what makes this sort of thing so rewarding

Well, I just did my first flight in this update and WOW, what an amazing job you guys did! This has always been one of my all time favorite aircraft and the update you guys did makes it the same in the sim for me.
Now some statements and questions. First, the sound didn't work for me (In the JA-37), so I aliased it to the Aerosoft F-16, and those sounds work great with this bird. Second, will there be a paint kit? I would like to see it painted in the colors of some of the air forces they tried to sell it to, but didn't end up buying it, like Switzerland and India. I keep thinking of how cool it would look in some of those wacked out color schemes the Indians put on their MiG-27's. Third, does anybody know of a good tip vortex effect that shows strong rotation? I would like to add it to the canard for the high alpha regime.
Great work guys. BTW, I really like the moving map display as well. It came in handy when I was flying in a low cloud deck.
Also. Mods, shouldn't this get a sticky at the top since it was just released?

@ Sundog: Thanks for the kind words. We did not include a soundset, the sound.cfg file is aliased to the stock FSX Learjet. Having watched a couple of videos I find the Viggen engine sounds very much like the Harrier so I am using a Rolls Royce Pegasus soundset which was done by MSS for UKMIL iirc.
EDIT: By mistake, my test version of the sound.cfg file ended up in the release, the fix is easy though, you can edit the sound.cfg file with notepad:
Wrong release version:
[fltsim]
alias=.\Sound\RR_Pegasus
;alias=d:\fsx\simobjects\airplanes\Lear45\sound
Correction:
[fltsim]
alias=.\SimObjects\airplanes\Lear45\sound
or alias it to any soundset you like.

Beautiful repaints indeed!

Done, and I also altered the title to make people aware that it is actually released.
Cheers,

The paintkit is not made available as it is very big... The texture mapping is made in a way that the model is covered with many smaller textures and when they went up to 2048x the size of the paintfiles become very big... And I must confess they are a bit of a mess... I'll see what we can do.
