I really think this is an excellent news and I'm really looking forward to a TacPack Falcon ! :applause:
However, I'm worried about Milviz ability to create the avionics of such a complex airplane.
Can we hope a simulation close to the F-16 in Falcon 4.0 BMS ?

Ummm.....I'm not sure what many people understand about "coders" but...I think many people seem to think that unless it says "Accu-" it's somehow not as advanced? And I'm not implying you think this either Daube. To be perfectly candid, Milviz likely employs THE best coders in the business, bar none. The ADV phantoms is absolutely INSANE under the hood. The fact that it does what it does, the way that it does is simply mind boggling. That's one platform that is known...there are others. I'm not going to name names but I can pretty much assure you that milviz hasn't finished breaking barriers with firsts. That is all. I'm not taking any questions...lol.
 
Be great if they finish a few of their other aircraft first, considering that this will be a duplication of other releases, albeit with (apparently) TacPack capability.

I understand and agree with your remark Rick, and I know Milviz coders are good of course ! The Phantoms are a pretty good example.
But I believe the avionics of a Falcon are slightly more complex than the usual aircrafts they did until now.
I mean, look at the time they are taking to model a modern aircraft like the KingAir, which has only civilian instruments ? How much time will they need to program all of the avionics of a modern military jet, which has also military instruments and weapon systems to model ? This is what worries me.
 
Well... the F-16 avionics are well documented, and Tacpack provides a lot of pre-digested functions of a modern military avionic suite. Knowing MilViz capabilities I think that have it takes to create an awesome F-16. Will it be as good as Falcon 4.0 BMS in terms of completeness and accuracy? Well, if you consider that Falcon development took many years, probably there will be some minor details missing...but I am confident they will be negligible. This see,s to have all it takes to be the modern, Tacpack-driven F-16 that the FSX/P3D military community needs.

THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD!
Also really excited to have and F-16 on the way. as a low-grade viper fan I'm pretty pumped for this year in FSX/P3d.

Not knowing how far along they actually are on the Falcon (the single screenshot looks good but doesn't tell you much), consider the time factor on the Super Saber (4years at least?) and the coding required for that airplane and then compare that to the much more complex cockpit and avionics of the F-16. I agree with Daube on this one. . .nice to see it being developed, but beyond that I would place in the "don't hold your breath__ don't ask for a release date" category.

What he said.

Colin group's a lot of people into "coder" for the layman's understanding.

It's probably a 3d model recently purchased or acquired from another party. As is with many MilViz projects. It will probably be very good when complete. This is meant, I'm sure, to reveal nothing more than "hey.. we're doing an F-16".

- Joseph
 
Why is it, when Colin and his gang get backed up with 'slow to deliver' products, they announce a new WIP? It always generates a brief burst of enthusiasm and, I suppose, removes some momentum from the "release date" crowd but with me it's becoming that old "who give's a sh!t".
 
serves a purpose

What these early preview shots do is mark the territory for the developer -- particularly if they are established like Milviz. Far less likely now (still possible) that some other dev will seriously consider doing anything with the F-16 and TP.
