This week's DCS World updates didn't cover as many aspects of the F-16 as I'd hoped. Nevertheless, there was a treasure trove of other good news, including the impending Nimitz class aircraft carrier, with what sounds like a close to working deck arrangement, and ATC radio comms bolstering the already immersive nature of carrier ops.
Some in game images from the last few weeks.
Thanks to the Air Warfare Group for multiplayer grooviness.

A little teaser of this amazing new map. Thanks to Orbx and the team's numerous testers who've put in many hours build and fine-tune the map in preparation for its release.
Since this was filmed, the build has been adjusted and includes some aspects and improvements mentioned coming.

Some early footage just getting the feel for this latest module. There's definitely going to be more work done as users get their hands on the module, and Eagle Dynamics get feedback. I couldn't get the exterior lights to work for some reason for example.
Still, the aircraft feels very different from the FA/18C, weird not seeing twin tails behind me for example, and the flight model feels unnaturally smooth, esp' when compared to the F-14B, which is naturally more viceral being analogue.
A very, very welcome addition, and rounds out some of the top three aircraft in the world from the last 4 decades.
The game continues to get better and grow, and I am especially looking forward to the Nimitz class aircraft carrier, and working deck crew.
I'll keep you posted on my adventures with the Viper, for now I accept it's got some work, but it's a welcome addition to the sim', and it looks awesome.

A short vid' on what it looks like using the IFF in the new F-16C module, which is a critical component to target identification.
