Hey guys! I cannot tell you how excited I am to finally have the AGM-65 Maverick for the DCS: F-16C Block 50 Viper!
This feature has been a LONG time coming and I know that everyone in the community is super excited to finally have their hands on it!
That being said Matt Wagner's video on the AGM-65 made it seem like a very complex and daunting task and I am here to tell you that I believe it is EASIER than in the F/A-18C Hornet and certainly the AV-8B NA Harrier II!

Wow it has been a long time coming for this update to the DCS F-16! But I am so glad that it's here! AND Since I forgot to put it in the video... check out Battle Bars, and use SPUD15 for 15% off your order! Haha! glnk.io/qlqq/spudknocker-squadron

Hey man that is great to hear that my channel has helped you out so much! The missiles you are referring to are actually fitted to AGM-114 Hellfire missiles which are much smaller than an AGM-65 and are used primarily by Helicopters and drones!

Some issue that I found on my first try: When using the mavs together with the TGP, the first mav lines perfectly up with the TGP. However, the second and third mav refused to point on the target (although I pressed TMS up like mad). Solution until ED delivers a fix: take the mav out of "PRE" mode, click yourself through VIS and BORE mode back to PRE mode, and it should work again.

@Rhinozherous 3 жыл бұрын

Please report these issues. I also have a hard time using it with the TGP - I opened a thread on the forum but they cant reproduce it... maybe with infos from others. Here is the link: forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=286590

Just a thought: It would be very helpful if you maybe go more into detail on the keybindings. For example you jump into the settings page or maybe only display the name of the binded button you just used would make it easier to follow you. Thanks for your work and all the videos! :)

What stick/hotas do you have? If memory serves on my HOTAS Warthog stick, the expand FOV button is the little pinky switch on the back of the throttle, next to the paddle switch. Try searching for it in the control settings under "search".

@ChrisGilcher 3 жыл бұрын

I have a hard time to make the gyroscope ground stabilized. The only trick that works for me is to make theHUD SOI, then slew to the target and press TMS up. The gyro is then ground stabilized. Then SOI to the MFD>Weapon's page and then "fine" slewing to the target, hitting TMS up again to lock. Without this "workaround" I can't get any lock as the Mav camera is not "gimbaled" and moving around heavily. Do you have an idea why that is?

@XCougar85X 3 жыл бұрын

So nice. I struggle to do a multiple launch like that on the Av8 as it starts to roll violently right away. Are both the Viper and Hornet this stable? Really looking forward top getting the Viper

The hornet is pretty stable, it'll definitely start to lean one direction after you fire the mav, but you can easily trim it out.

I am locking on within 7nm its successfully handing off from the pod to the missile. But the missile will never release for me. Any thoughts or opinions would be greatly appreciated

@DD-sw1dd Жыл бұрын

Depends on where the sun is, the time of day, and various other things, but yes AGM 65's (and the generation of IR tech this simulation is based on) are sensitive to these kinds of things. In fact, there are certain times during the day (usually morning and afternoon) when the AGM 65's infrared seeker is useless. It occurs during what is called the diurnal temperature cycle and basically means that the ambient temp is the same the ground and surrounding objects. It almost always occurs during sunrise and sundown. Essentially, your IR will look totally washed out. Lt. Col Dan "Two Dogs" Hampton, the F-16 Wild Weasel pilot with the most confirmed kills, talks about this issue during a situation in he was involved in causing him to have to gun run a truck and armor column that had friendly troops pinned down. That book is amazing btw. It's called "Viper Pilot". Viper Pilot book trailer: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aaiJf9WLur2qgWw.html Dan Hampton interview: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bc6Af896vMuce2w.html It's an awesome read into the real life career of someone who'd fit right in alongside the fictional character Maverick.
