Pretty nice..

But that installer didnt work.

I had to extract the pbo then put it in the res/add-on folder.

MIRROR with just the PBO and "read me" zipped together.

I really like most of Vit's recent stuff, like this F-16 and his Mig 29.

But I also really HATE those damn installers he chooses to use... I hate having uninstallers for every damn addon... He should do like most others and make it a zip file so you can take what you need and ditch the rest.

really cool shit

Nice water! I want it

By the way, nice F-16's

[bonko the sane 2]

For some reason i get a "missing stall radio message" and the plane survived a crash at 250 kph into the sea. Also the "v"optics should be improved IMO...apart from that these planes look really good

if i get permission to use the model im gonna do the Thunderbirds "Version" of it. retexuring his model and striping it of all armament

All I can say is WOW!!!!!!! Finally a REALLY good working F16 for the OFP community! I've been waiting for this for SOOO long!!! This addon flys like a dream with mouse and keyboard and is everything I always wanted.

The only bug I've found so far is that when you use the auto-landing, the landing gear doesn't come on automatically. I'm assuming that this is the case for the AI, although I need to test that out some more.

This is a definite MUST HAVE if you want some awesome air support for your US forces. However I wish VIT would make an international version with Footmunch's roundel system. That way everybody would be happy since the F16 is one of the most popular fighter bombers in the world.

With that said, I can't wait for the Israeli version he's working on to use for missions I'm doing for the Lost Brothers mod.

Hi,

Great plane again, but can you add a better optical sight ? Like the one seen in you F15...

I have try to land on airport and I have do it, very funny

Don't stop your add-on VIT

[Cpt. Bazikian-5thSFG- 0]

I found a bug.... When you fire your cannon on the F-16, the left ammaram model on the wingtip disapears...

[Badassdom 0]

will the next version have more and better armements?

cause the aa missles aren't that effective

He didn't add the Stall message for some reason. The left rear wheel is a bit wierd. I think that VIT should make different versions for different weapons.

aight i got permission to use his model. and as soon as i aquire the fixed model ill work on retexturing it

The Thunderbirds ive once saw them here in denmark, amazing show they got

Does it still use the same crappy GeoLOD model as the previous version?

You might want to get with Footmunch to add in the colored smoke like on his Draken addon.

Look at the screenshots at www.ofp.info and decided for yourself.

I think the model looks fantastic.

yup

i was having fun jumping over islands like a frog with this plane w/o beeing killed, 5minutes before i deleted any existence of this addon from my system...

Ok someone then please explain to me how this model is crappy?  I'm no Flight Simulator freak, but I see F-16's flying over my house all the time and I've played my fair share of F16 flight simulators.  This model looks excellent to me.  

It pisses the hell out of me how some people just seem to enjoy crapping all over VIT's hard work.   To me this model compares very favorably to those aircraft of my other favorite aircraft addon makers.

by the way, does VIT ever post here?

[Imshi-Yallah 0]

I concur the model is great.

However after some dissimalar air combat training and a few AG exercises I found the following weaknesses.

1. In A to A combat the Falcon's Missiles are not up to the latest proximity detonation standard therefore are little better equipped than a guns only fighter.

2. The absence of any guided missiles for AG work makes the Falcon fairly useless against SAM defended areas (i.e. SA-2, Tunguska ,SA-11), it makes the addon of fairly ltd use for strike missions, unless the mission maker likes hellishly difficult odds all the time.

3. Although the lack of stability was a major critiscism of previous Vit addons the current F-16 is a bit too stable which is great for bombing lightly defended targets but the lack of inherent instability increases vulnerability to ground and air attack.

4.The Jammer isnt particularly effective.

In trials I used the same bombing run with the following aircraft against an AD position feauring both missiles and heavy and light guns.

I have ranked the results in descending order of merit:

Speed: F/A-18C, Tornado(RAF) , F-4E (FM)+ F-16, Harrier FRS.1, A-10

Manouvreability:Harrier Frs1, A-10, F/A-18, F-4, Tornado,F-16C

Survivability: F/A-18, Tornado+F-4E, Harrier (marginally ahead), F-16C, A-10

Stability and Targeting:Tornado, F-16, Frs1, A-10, Phantom

Otherwise its a Sweet addon and like the great Footmunch Vits filling a gap in the market that no one else has touched.

Lets face it anyone could fine tune the config and replace some of the scripts...its a good core model, and a good cpp.

I meant Geometry LOD, which consisted of 5000+ faces model in previous relase (I haven't got time to check this one so far), which is exactly how Geo LOD shouldn't be made. Geo LOD should be as simple as possible. It has nothing to do with how the plane looks like. It's only to do with in-game physics (collision detection, flight model, etc.).

I think I made myself clear...

[Stag 0]

I wouldn't say it was crap, but it's not to my taste. physically, it has an extra pair of hardpoints, skinwise, aside from the basic USAF grey the schemes are more a product of the imagination.

Now someone is going to tell me If I don't like it, don't download it. How will I know I don't like it if I don't download it? But it's now gone from my drive.

The visual model is GOOD, the top lod, nice high poly so it looks good, and realistic.

However, he has simply copied this lod over to the Geometry lod, and failed to simplify the model. This means the game engine will have a very very hard time using the geo lod properly. Hence its ability to survive crashes, and be walked through etc.

As with a lot of VITs' work, the visual model is excellent, but the all important geometry and fire geometry lods are poor.

A shame, as otherwise this would be an excellent addon
