Lockheed Martin F-16C Fighting Falcon - "Koa"

57.5k ZeroWithSlashedO  10 months ago

Hey everyone, Zerø here. And today, I am here to present you a project long due.

A dragon pilot, literally.

Happy birthday to my Aussie friend! I literally made this for him.


Introduction:

The Lockheed Martin F-16C Fighting Falcon (commonly referred as the "Viper") is a 4th generation single engined aircraft, and is a further improvement of the General Dynamics F-16A Fighting Falcon. The F-16C in question is a Block 50, equipped with the GE F110 engine, instead of the PW F100 used on the Block 52. The F-16 itself was made to be an absolute monster at transonic speeds.


Loadout:

  • 1 × M61A1 Vulcan
  • 2 × AIM-9X Sidewinder Dogfight Missile,
  • 4 × AIM-120D AMRAAM Medium Range Missile
  • 2 × 600gal Drop Tank
  • 1 × AN/ALQ-131 ECM Pod (Purely Aesthetic)
  • 60 × Flare (1/tap), 60 × Chaff (1/tap)

Controls & Features:

Controls:

Normal Controls.
Activate1: Deploy Flaps
Activate2: Nose Wheel Steer
Activate3: Drop Tanks
Activate4: External Lights
Activate5: Deploy Airbrake

Features:
  • A somewhat accurate flaps/slats operation.
  • A semi-accurate relaxed-stability performance.
  • A rotational-based main-gear suspension. Should be a lot easier to butter with this thing.
  • A livery attached to the F-16C of an Ustian Ace Pilot, named "Koa" (Fighter).
  • In depth animation of the landing gear, who checks that type of thing? I dunno, but it is what it is.

Author's Notes:

  • Few things to say. It's mainly caused by the relaxed stability, which made it quite the awkward flyer.
  • A known issue is it likes to pitch down at higher speeds due to it's limiter being unable to keep up with the instability. Use trim to counteract this issue! Though it won't last for much...
  • Another thing to note is it's pitch is really sensitive on the initial action, so for keyboard users, beware.

I... Kinda did upload on schedule? Well, whatever. I'm just happy to kinda get this out lol. But yeah, for now I'm off to other projects I want to do, so a lot of the issues are not gonna be addressed in the short while. But other than that, that's all from me.

Once again, happy birthday to my Aussie friend! See you next time!
