Hey Everyone. Zerø here from simpleplanes.com. And in this SimplePlanes: F-16C Post, the Viper is finally available to be flown.
Do keep in mind: This is still Early Access, and it is not finished. I will keep updating it over time.
Introduction:
General Dynamics F-16C Fighting Falcon (or Viper as the pilots refer it as), is a single engined, low-cost, multirole aircraft that until this day still rules over the market over the air force industry. The Viper is currently the most used aircraft in the world, and known by many people. Either by Aviators or by non-Aviators.
History:
The F-16 first flew accidentally in 20th of January 1974. The F-16 itself was a winner of the "Lightweight Fighter" or "LWF" program. The unique design of the F-16 made it possible to achieve such capable dogfighting capabilities without the need of a Thrust Vectoring Control. But not without some drawbacks. In order to keep it low-cost, the design had to be simple, while being as effective as possible.

Update:
This post is outdated. I will make a new Falcon, but don't be too excited. Restarting everything from scratch is a pain in the ass, and do not expect me to start building any time soon.
However, expect teasers.
Oh, forgot to mention. If you encounter any issues, go here.
@ZeroWithSlashedO real, but officially it’s the fighting falcon
@MolotokSP
both are vipers.
"Viper" is a nickname the pilots gave the F-16, while "Fighting Falcon" is the name that General Dynamics gave the F-16.
f-16C is the fighting falcon, f-16V is the viper
Falcon, PUNCH!
It’s kinda like the dodge viper small but lots of power
Bro please I need your help, I copy and pasted the AoA landing indicator on another aircraft but it doesn’t show up for me, any help?
this is the first viper I have ever seen that is carrying both a harm tgt pod and harms
Which is correct
@ZeroWithSlashedO can you make a Thunderbirds livery?
@TRD
probably will be making a new one since my style has changed too much
also my screenshots are dogshit lmfao lemme fix that
Vipor update when
@RomanianAirforce
That doesn't contradict with anything I said.
@ZeroWithSlashedO I play on a smartphone
@RomanianAirforce
Maybe that's because you're too used to turning 40° a second.
Isn't manuvrable
Zerø
Veepr
@ZeroWithSlashedO -_-
@xNotDumb
Again, wdym?
@ZeroWithSlashedO I think it existed in your name earlier
@ZeroWithSlashedO Its a question
@xNotDumb
wdym? I put "ZeroWithSlashedO" because I can't use "ø" for a name
also if this is a joke, I'm sorry, your joke is confusing enough to be recognized
Did the slashed O in your name die?
