The fly by wire system was probably the most important innovation that you didn't touch on. Most flight controls were connected with mechanical, physical systems at the time, and the F-16 was electronic. I never thought it was weird or dumb looking in any way. Everything about this machine is beautiful and it looks like the most aeodynamic thing possible. As for the name, falcons are my favorite bird, so I always preferred thinking of it as the Falcon.

When you call out fly-by-wire, the next word is flight-control-system FLCS which allowed the pilot to fly the jet in subsonic flight. As he mentioned, the F-16 is aerodynamically unstable.

The Viper is known as a brilliant jet at suppressing enemy air defense (SEAD). One Viper driver dodged SIX sam missiles just by maneuvering without even using countermeasures. The USAF has almost a thousand of these mean little jets!

I absolutely love the history lessons with each of these.

I swear Trevor does so much research for every episode and the level of commitment is like no other been watching since 350k Subs and still my favourite gaming KZreadr of all time

I worked at an airport a few years after 9/11 which had f-16's stationed there. They would take off nightly for patrol around the boarder and when those things would take off with the afterburner, the noise was deafening. Beautiful sight as well.

Ah yes, the F-16. The Falcon that keeps on fighting

Great clarity, field of view and guide. A lot of realism and fun!

Love that Swamp Fox scheme. I'm in the works to fly F-16s for their squadron.

Love the content. IDK if it's in the game but "The Spruce Goose" H-4 Hercules is something that I would love to see.

I can't believe I missed this video yesterday. The F-16 is literally my favorite fighter jet of all time.

I love the F-16 so much, and it is smiling! In my pictures of it from the front, it’s SOOOOO happy.

I work at a base that refurbs the components on the F-16, ...We specifically work on the radar systems and HUD systems ...we are already starting to refurb F-35 components as well...its an honor to be apart of our nations defense I'm going on 20 years working for the DOD...

In case you haven't flown it in a video yet, Panavia Tornado please. I used to love seeing these at the airshows at RAF Conningsby here in good ol' Blighty!

Always love a flight sim vid from you Trev‼️

Love the Vid! Been having a lot of fun in this in DCS also .

Its so cool to see you visit Norway! The flight simulator series are the best!!

The cockpit looks a bit awkward from the front but otherwise i don't even think the cockpit with the "bubble" looks that awkward, this is just a very sexy looking plane/fighter jet in my opinion. :)

I agree. Besides, as silly as it looks from the front, it’s a very small radar profile from that angle, it’s like flying a pencil. They cant see you.

enjoy these vids. just a dude enjoying some flight simming. hope to see many more. msfs 2024 when!?!

I love these videos. The facts are awesome. Keep it up trev!

Trev knows how to treat his people😏

Whenever Trev uploads a flight simulator, my mind instantly got reminded to ask him to finish ace combat 7 lol.

I would love to see you actually work through the lessons to learn how to fly properly vs shoving it to the runway, etc. I think you will love flying even more when you know how planes work better (ex, "I think we are dropping" vs looking at the vertical speed indicator and altimeter to see if you are decending).

I lived on Yokota Air Base in Japan when my dad was in the military. The only way to get from one side of the base to the other was driving over the ends of the runway. One day I was riding my bike as F-16s were taking off. I wish I had a smartphone at the time.

Trev your Microsoft Flight Simulator gameplay is always 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯.

Actually the F-16 Fighting Falcon is used for new manufactured airframes. F-16V Viper is the designation given to any existing F-16 that is upgraded to the Block 60 or above standard. That's not opinion, that's per Lockheed Martin.

Huh? Every f16 official name is the fighting falcon but everyone calls it the viper since it’s that’ll given nickname.

MSFS in an F-16 or Typhoon, with VR full throttle through the mountains is ridiculous fun.

Turkish air force pilots are in love with this Jets amazing handling and the design

I really love these flight sim vids! Have a great week Trev.

4:45 what did u say 💀

Fun Fact: The F-16’s nickname is “Fighting Falcon”, but most crew and pilots nickname it the “Viper” cause of its resemblance to a viper snake, and the fictional Colonial Viper star fighter from the show “Battlestar Galactica”.

ayo 4:48 is kinda wild tmartn2

bro said “ touch her in the right places” 💀

And I believe that bubble top cockpit roof helps with airflow and aerodynamics. Smooth, steady streamlines are critically important in that, anyway.

Very nice Trev ,I really love F-16 Jet!

What about the A-10 Thunderbolt. It's basically a flying gun. Tank destroyer. Such an amazing airplane. Or the F-4U Corsair. All time favorite warbird.

Loved this. Does MS Flight Sim have the Avro Arrow?

Lmk if you’ll do a meet and greet in Oslo 👍🏻

Try flying it in Digital Combat Simulator. So much fun!

My college is right beside Lockheed Martin so I see these types of planes all the time they are really loud 😂

Would love to see a video on the jas 39 gripen

Yeah it was a very nice video.❤❤❤.

wouldn’t say the F-16 is the most manouvrable fighter… but it’s still wonderful machinery

Hi trevor🎉🎉

The best series hands down can't wait for msfs 2024

this man like a book

Gotta show a viper mark 7!

Fun facts about the F16: after the Vietnam war we needed maneuverability. The f16 was designed to be a cheap and maneuverable fighter. All the screens were added later. The jet was designed with a lot of John Boyd’s ideas. The f16 was only meant to have 2 aim-9s on the wing and just be a speed demon. Anyway enjoy the pack.

Can't wait for MSFS 2024.

This warms my norwegian heart❤ thanks trev!

Hey tmartn2 I would love it if you could do a video on the p51d mustang

F-15 all day my guy.. do that for sure. Top jet in the world for so long

The f16 the jet that went through intense trev obedience

Hi tmartn I love your videos man keep it up❤❤

I love the F-16 Fighting Falcon. It’s one of my favorite jets along F-15 Eagle/ F-15E Strike Eagle and the F/A-18 Hornet/Super hornet. F-14 Tomcat will always be my favorite though.

What joystick do you use? Looking for a better joystick for DCS.

Try the Swedish JAS 39 Gripen!

Keep it up

You left your tail hook out lol

FINALLY!!!

Maybe a good time for him to check out the legendary Avro Vulcan made by Just Flight...

"you need to know how to touch her in the right places"💀

I bet Jas would be more agile hehe. Even think they did beat the meeeerica plane in dogfight training for some years ago🤔
