Pleasure, helps for people wondering what they get before they buy.

Unless my memory is faulty (it's been 47 years since I was near one!!) the F-5 canopy was completely manual open and close, no motor. The handle was just for locking purposes.

Artistic license I guess. It does say in the read me text file for this aircraft that it is not 100% accurate but is a personal representation within the bounds of the simulator and his skills.

The original file is only available for in sim market place aircraft without weapons due to MS/Asobos rules so the developer put them for free download on Flightsim.to. So these are from the developer and work naturally with the aircraft.

Come to my Discord and we can chat there and work out what's going wrong for you. Link is in video description.

Very good modeled. Even though it is not a professional model, designers included some important detail they didn't put in the F-5E at DCS. The afterburner flame, at the outside of the nozzle tends being bluish or violet; not orange, in F-5E; as it uses to look in most fighters. It looks simiar to Su-30's or Tu-22's afterburners.

I think I read somewhere that the dev said it is modelled more towards the model F-5S so I might have to remove the E from my title. That being said the developer does say in a read me in the file "This model is an engineered impression of the aircraft and should be considered as a hybrid of different variants, particularly as regards cockpit controls, displays and moding and switching. Since this model is a flight simulation only it is not representative of the full operational capabilities of the real aircraft"

It's a shame no wingflex or bonce. looks like it has potential though.

@BrettPlays

3 ай бұрын

does the F-5 have much wing flex? Has pretty short wings I would not have thought so but yeah I did not see any either.

The parachute brake is that light greyish handle even larger than your nose there, up and left in the main panel! Clearly named "Drag Chute" 😆😆😆🤣🤣🤣🤣

I’ll be honest, I’m not 100% satisfied with this aircraft in MSFS. I like the fact that it’s a modernized version, but I think you’re better off getting it for DCS.

From what I can see on their Facebook pictures the SC one looks like the exact same 3d model (one purchased from external store) but the liveries/paint work is factory clean with no grime or dirt, I hope they add some too. I would expect it to be very similar, maybe a few changes, hopefully some extra payloads on their weapons mods. I guess we will see when it is released.

​ @BrettPlays not at all, every thing is fine and setting / re-setting well. I even change the control equips and all re-installing / rebooting and remove all MODs. Nothing helps, no any other aircraft has such problem. When I press Z, I can sense the auto pilot, and I can sense it disengaging when press shift-Z or over control. so I don't think auto-pilot does that.

how do the cannons shoot, 50 cal? targets. do the bombs actually blow up buildings?

@@dabneyoffermein595 thats a negative, even the A-10 gun which is 30mm (normally a 5 to 1, AP - HEI mix) can not penetrate modern tanks which are about late 1970s-1980s onwards. The 20mm on the F-5 is mainly used for A/A gunnery as well so it would normally just have the same type of A-10 rounds, aka AP and HEI, but the mix would go the other way with a 5-1 mix in favor of the HEI. In short, the 20mm cannon of the F-5 is quite powerful, but not even CLOSE to the power that you are suggesting.

Seriously, if You love the F5, get it for DCS and fly it there👍
