Introducing the General Dynamics F-16C Fighting Falcon or Viper.

Premise:
After the recent departure of EngineerOtaku from the SimplePlanes community, most of his creations were deleted. I would try to reupload some of his creations with new updates, like cockpits and other modifications to honor him and his contributions to this community.

This design is a modification of the F-16 Viper by EngineerOtaku with new features. I worked on enhancing its capabilities and and gave it some of the best possible solutions to make it work.

New Features Includes:
1. My very own AIM-120D AMRAAMs and AIM-9X Sidewinders.
2. Low visual paint scheme.
3. A hydraulic piston for raising the main cockpit view when the landing gears are down.
4. New fly-by-wire system derived from the F/A-18E Super Hornet.
5. A LANTIRN Pod on the Centerline Pylon made by TheGreatOneinTF.

Main Controls and Activation Groups:
A & D = Ailerons
W & S = Elevators
Q & E = Rudder
AG1 = Arrestor Hook
AG2 = Formation Lights
AG3 = Flaps Down
AG4 = Air Brake
AG5 = Jettison Fuel Tanks
AG6 = Drop Those Tax Payer Funded Weapons System
AG8 = Master Arm and Activate AOA Limiter
VTOL = Flaps
Trim = For Trim Controls
Landing Gear = Gears and Cockpit Raiser

Credit goes to TDevil36 for the GBU-12 Paveway II, TheGreatOneinTF for LANTIRN Pod and EngineerOtaku for the F-16 Viper...
