Really nice F-16 for FS2004?

Both Kirk's and Lago/Just Flights F-16's are still pretty good aircraft! At one point I had 137 liveries installed for the Lago model, which included a lot of RNLAF F-16 paints.
But since I got the Aerosoft FsX F-16 I never reinstalled any of the Fs9 F-16's..

Sure the F-16 variants made by Kirk look very good, externally. But the virtual cockpit is less functionnal than the default Cessna :/
There are some gauges at least, but you can't click anything.

It's really a pity, because that same F-16 has a detailled set of 2D panels, and when a virtual cockpit hasn't 3D switches, it's quite easy to "copy-paste" a 2D subpanel on a part of virtual cockpit. Unfortunately, if I understood correctly the 3D layout of Kirk's Viper won't allow that...

The secret is the SimScape panel upgrade. Granted, it still does not increase the amount of virtual cockpit interactivity, It adds a better HUD and displays to the virtual cockpit.

I've said that before on other forums and got reamed, but its true...for such an international plane that is seen and revered by so many, I'm surprised it hasn't been recreated more so than what has been discussed.

I've attempted to re-generate the VC, change the resolution to have gauges appear more sharp, but it refuses to cooperate. Any ideas on that? Look at the HUD in the panel, then in the VC (both at 1024 X 1024 res)...and it just looks like hamburger. I've brought in other freeware crisp HUD's and still, they loose all their sharpness in the Kirk O' falcon VC...I don't get it.

Also done some work on the VC, but the resolution is very low, what you say, fear this is hard coded in de model-file and can not be change other then Kirk.

Also notice a big difference in VC refresh rates (gauges) between the double-seaters and the latest single seater series by Kirk.

I see the updated cockpit.
But I still prefer the Japanese brother, the Mitsubishi F-2. One of the greatest virtual cockpits ever made for FS9, and a beautifull exterior model. I just wish they were some photoreal repaints for this fantastic bird...
 
Wow Zsolt, you are having a good time! :applause:
And I couldn't agree more on the F-2 (the Mitsi F-1 only slightly less so).
I have half a dozen repaints for it, won't highjack this thread, as it deserves its own.

Love that F-2 as well...just needs to loose the canopy segment :p. But the all glass is quite nice as well as the amount of clickables.

Most definitly, I love flying the Mistubishi F-2...... but I still like Kirk Olsen's Vipers as well :salute: :jump:

Yeah, this is what made me realize just how little VC interaction there is with Kirk's Vipers.
 
The F-2 is nice except for the center fuel tank dragging along the ground. Missile load outs would be nice also.

Edit: I see he does have load outs. I should have looked before typing.
