F-16C Viper
New Features
We are now engaged in new features for DCS: F-16C Viper and look forward to sharing the details with you in the next Open Beta update. It is with great pleasure that we can guarantee you the arrival of the ECM Pod, a very much improved HSD cursor, new AG features for the helmet and semi-automatic and automatic countermeasure programs. Also, keep your eyes peeled for an updated FLIR picture.

Dear all,
In addition to the ECM pod functions coming to the Viper, we will also be introducing jamming effects on the FCR. When the FCR can generate azimuth, range, Vc, etc. data for a target and the target is jamming, a yellow double-chevron symbol is placed over the contact. If, however, range cannot be resolved due to jamming, a yellow, double-chevron symbols is placed along the top of the FCR page along the detected azimuth angle of jamming.
The attached image shows examples of both of these conditions and a non-jamming contact.
Kind regards,
Wags

***Update***
Today we completed internal integration of L16 and IDM sharing of HTS/HAD emitter contacts. This will allow you to designate and share emitter location between Flight, Team, and Donors. Additionally, sharing of emitter triangulation data between flight members is also internally complete as part of the TDOA option from the HAD page.
We've made further adjustments to SPI sharing regarding accurate HSD symbology that includes Flight/Team member ID.
Finally, we've made good progress on adjustments to the ITR and G-onset, and internal verification tests will probably start next week.
If testing goes well, we plan to have it included in the next Viper update.
Progress on datalink is going well, but we still have some significant items to still complete. Once datalink is complete, work will commence on the CRUS DED page.
In parallel to datalink and FM, DEST DED page, MAN bombing mode, and LADD bombing mode are in work.
Kind regards,
Matt
