Purchase DCS: F-16C Viper from: www.digitalcombatsimulator.co...
In this DCS: F-16C Viper video, we’ll explore the Ground Map, or GM, and Sea modes of the Viper’s air-to-ground fire control radar mode. In a later video we’ll discuss the Ground Moving Target, or GMT mode, once complete.
A-G radar mode operate in both the navigation and air-to-ground master modes, and it provides an all-weather radar-generated image of the terrain, buildings, and other large features ahead of the aircraft. In GM and Sea modes, the radar can provide a detailed imagery that can then be used to set a sensor point of interest and or cue other sensors like a targeting pod.

I don't even fly the Viper, I just like hearing Wags talk about the new systems and features
He’s a superb communicator.
Oooooh baby, I've been waiting for this one... I was expecting the RAW GM radar and a wait for DBS1/2. Looks like you've nailed it early. Even included the Doppler Offset. Much love going into the Viper and we LOVE it. Awesome job, ED!
Oh my god, i can't believe i lived long enough to see this.
You will continue to live a long time.
@@idnintel We hope so

NOTE 2. Since this video was created, you can now select the Up and Down range arrows to manually adjust range without needing to select MAN at OSB 2.
I think my radar is broken then as it doesnt work like that. I would love to know what I'm doing wrong. Sometimes it puts a diamond there, sometimes an empty box, then it un locks itself and screen goes black again.
Incredible attention to details! Can't wait for it all to be fully implemented. Congrats ED!
Let's go ED team!!! Love the updates coming out and can't wait to see your continued efforts!
Certainly feels like Christmas has come early this year! Wohooo! :) Thanks Mags and ED!
I like his demos he makes it easy to follow and understand.
Awesome! I'm impressed by how much you can zoom in with the DBS modes!
That is insane. Great stuff.
Dcs is looking better and better, completely different from when I started 7 years ago. Can’t wait for the future.
And more demanding for the PC unfortunately
@@fonesrphunny7242 Exactly this.
I'm glad that the 16 is getting a lot of attention lately.
Allegedly :P (inside joke)
Beautiful guys... the Viper deserves the attention you are giving it.. thanks
whenever I see you demonstrate EXP modes (Hornet or here), I am astonished how easy you make it seem. Great video!
Alright! Finally getting to the good stuff in the Viper! Love it! Thank you guys, you all work so hard so we can enjoy! Awesome! It looks great!
I am so happy to know the Viper is getting a truckload of improvements and adds. Good work ED!
Brilliant work. The best depiction of AG radar I have ever seen.
So hyped!!! Been waiting for this since the Viper was announced!
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR SO LONG! THANK YOU WAGS
My writing skills improved so much just by commenting how cool these updates are .... Loving it
Thats incredible, I've read books on various radar types and this is a great supplement to it, especially the radar shawdows and DBS
As a former Back Seater using a Ground Mapping Radar, this upgrade makes me extremely happy :-) Can't wait to get into this :-) Thanks Wags and Eagle Dynamics, excellent work.
Just awesome. I really would like to see the team of ED working on such things. Just incredible amount of work!
Absolutely awesome! Love the grey scale radar mapping as well!
Our Viper is getting alive! Thank you very much!
Ok this is huge ! I cannot wait the HAD video
Yeeeesss, its 4:45AM BUT I WAS WAITING SOOOO LONG THANKS SOOO MUCH.
The f16 updates just keep on coming :)
ไม่เอาฝนนะเปียกกมดแล้ว
Thanks for info Wags! I am just starting to play with F-16 radar...and this helped!
Wow that’s incredible ! Fantastic work !
This is absolutely amazing! Can't wait to try it out.
Fantastic!!! So pumped for this in the Viper.
Wags (from Eagle Dynamics)… without wanting to sound gross, this video is by far the sexiest you’ve made to date!
Thank you! I have been waiting and looking forward to this for SO long..!
I audibly gasped when that first sweet crisp image came up. I’m shocked how detailed the image can get!
I know right? I wish the Hornet's AG radar gave that good a picture.
@@Gneckes The Hornet's performance is in line with pilot statements. One dude said the real radar is so bad that they aren't even trained to use it tactically and it can't even tell the difference between a mountaintop or a semi truck.
@@agostonbazmajer1100 I wasn't doubting the accuracy of the Hornet's radar. I just wish it was as good as this! :)
@@Gneckes Makes sense, although I highly doubt this one is anywhere near this good in real life.
From the poeple I know, This is FAR from the truth. F-16 and F-18.
They never use it because it sucks
Wow, that is really impressive work.
Yeh! Awesome work ED Crew! Applause please!
Holy crap this looks cool! I can't wait to give this a go!
yes! finally! AG radar! ty for the video as always wags!
I wonder why in the heck people dislike this video.
Great job! Thanks for sharing!
Gettin' there! Nice work guys :)
Thank you for the great video Matt!
So much great stuff!! LOVE IT!
This company don't get enough credit from the gaming industry. ED should be winning all types of gaming awards. Bravo ED bravo.
Was just thinking the exact same thing. Never hear anything mentioned about DCS except by word of mouth, and yet they are at the top of their field and prolific by any measure. The more time goes on, the more impressed I am.
@@ziljanvega3879 DCS is a tiny market. X-Plane has like 3-4x the userbase. MSFS is more than an order of magnitude larger. They are all very different games but you don't hear about DCS much because it's a tiny userbase.
That’s what I’ve been waiting for baby !!!
Looking forward to the HTS and HAD videos! 👍
BN just said they aren’t coming this month 😔
@@augiehicks4588 why am I not surprised.
Glad to see all the F-16C love ♡
Awesome Video Matt! 👍
Excellent!
Can't wait to see ground moving targets on that baby, and light them up!
Glad much needed attention to the F-16 is here.
Nice! Can't wait for this.
This is the first time I've ever seen synthetic aperture radar in a simulator. This is absolutely incredible. Very, very realistic. The only thing I've noticed that isn't in the sim is the speckling (perhaps aircraft use noise reduction to remove that) and the characteristic "bloom" effect that's inherent to sharp cornered objects when imaged by SAR
This isn't SAR. Very different application and implementation
@@MONARCH1985 The AN/APG 68 has SAR capabilities for ground radar. Multiple sources and available literature on the matter states this. I am in no way an expert in this, but researching the equipment used in declassified literature supports that it is SAR.
@@awcleve can you link these sources? I’m interested in reading
I know this is VERY old and you guys probably figured this out already, but this is not SAR since the version of the Viper + AN/APG-68 we have does not get it, a later version did however so maybe we will eventually get it!
Once we get far enough to get such late aircraft, possibly wait till 2040 lol?
amazing work guys.
So looking forward to this feature
Great video! TY
I used to work on the C model. It is an amazing aircraft.
This pace is relentless! New content everyday!
Also, Radar GPS attacks thru clouds... Boom!
I wish there was a GPS aided Maverick. Would be awesome to attack somewhat close in range targets from above the clouds. I'll guess JDAMS and JSOW will have to do :D
Wags: *Goes to DBS2*
Me, having only flown the F-18C: _Witchcraft_
DBS2 is supposed to be worse than in the Hornet.
It is just that the Hornet radar bugged to the point that worse tech looks better compared to the mess that is EXP3.
@@alassadgaming6111 What makes you say that? Isn't the 18c like 30 years older than the block 50?
@@Frindleeguy no, the APG-73 on the C model Hornet and the APG-68v5 on the Block 50 both entered service in the late 80s/early 90s (1987 vs 1991 to be precise)
@@oppotato5440 And the hornet was designed for strike while the viper’s AG radar role is more or less secondary
@@Frindleeguy SAR technology is much better than DBS. Thats why.
“And before I let you go” gosh I can’t wait for the lecture to be over so I can go play some dcs..
The bell doesn't dismiss you, Mr. Wagner does.
@@Eihort Exactly.
Being on a limited budget, I had to agonize over which aircraft to buy. The F16 or the F18. I chose the F16 and at first I had buyers remorse. I kept seeing all the cool Hornet videos and carrier takeoffs and that awesomeness. Now with all the improvements and capabilities I am glad I chose the Viper. The Hornet is next, along with the Carrier Pack, but for now I am going to explore the Viper to the max and enjoy it. Thanks to guys like you explaining it so well, it makes the learning curve much less steep
i feel the same way, i will prob end up going with the a10 next since lots of the systems work almost identical on the a10, so i wont have the relearn 100% of the aircraft, only like 75%.
Very cool stuff!
what a killer machine the is become, again !
dang, this map looks great
oh boy I'm excited for this, more so than the apache!
Talk like that might get you a visit with the folks in white lab coats…
@@jed70 k
@@theflyinggasmask to be clear, I was joking :)
Man I am so excited for this... I try to use the Hornet's AG radar to pick out targets through the cloud layer but those green scale screens just make it such a pain..
I always use the bottom most screen for the TGP and such. Easier to see.
@@PSMWRX143 thats a bug though and will eventually be removed. bottom display shouldnt be able to show radar page, or tgp page, or maverick page etc.
@@dorian4219 I shouldnt have said anything! lol jk thanks for the info though!
This looks really good, Matt. Very interested to see what the guys at Razbam can do to build on this for their F-15E module.
What a time to be alive
ED is smashing it man .... That's so awesome
With HSI, Bullseye, and A2G radar, the Viper is feeling a lot better. Just isn't the same plane without those.
Glorious times are ahead my friends!
We know what Wags has been doing all weekend then. Pretty fabulous looking rendering of a sophisticated piece of equipment, impressive work, and not just a pretty screen either, it's functional.
You guys killing it lately with updates. All the F-16 updates make me want to learn the mudule suddenly, but but the AH-64D is coming so argh what to do ;D. Content wont be short in the next future. Also like that you put work into older systems and 3d models. I hope you guys will add some more easy options to make mission feel more alive. Like Civilian Planes automated without having to put every single one in by hand and generally tools to make airfields more alive. All about immerison ;). Love DCS so much. Ther should be more developers like ED BSG and CIG where the players can clearly feel the passion from the developers.
Also at this point i wonder if Wags has more flight experience on different platforms then almost any other real pilot out there ;D. Apart from maybe having them really flown in reality but the systems and stuff its crazy.
Apache is 2 months away, plenty of time to pass with F-16. It's what I've been doing latelly, lol.
@@fonesrphunny7242 You focus only on negativ things it seem. there is way more good then bad.
Wow! Look at that Radar resolution!
Yes. Looking better than in the hornet I think.
HOLY COW!!!! IT's happening!!! OBS2, flash back to 15 year old me playing Falcon 4.0, I can't wait.
Allied Force lives... Like old times.
(Ramp Start anyone?)
So excited.
i am buying the f16 so this was very helpful
Looking good Wags :)
YES!!!!! About time!
Yes!,getting there:)
HOLY SHIT! Yes Wags, we "enjoyed the video"
I'm in love!
I'm very much looking forward to this. It looks remarkably more usable than the hornet. Using the hornets AG Radar is watching your window wipers smudge bugs that have hit your windscreen. Apart from GMT and SEA mode the hornets AG is trash
Yea AG hornet map is trash
Yea it's as if the Hornet only had the real beam mode more or less, and not the EGM thing that Wags is showing. I wonder whether that's true, or if it's tied to the fan/pen option thingy which, as far as I can tell, is not implemented yet.
Ironically the Hornet radar is much better than it is IRL if anecdote is to be believed. I suspect same thing for F-16 too.
I love your content
all very nice and that, looks awesome. JUST GIMMI MY CHOPPER!
Holy shit this looks awesome
I mean that ground radar looks fruck'n amazing.
side note, those islands are a work of Art.
You lost me when you said "Wags here....." lol...just mind blowing ED technology...KUDOS to the ED TEAM..
Is that a new island for Marianas at the beginning?
Yes
good eye, I thought so too!
Great!
Thank you for these videos, Matt! Is there an estimate on when we will be getting the HTS pod for the viper? Thanks!
a dynamic map with the ability to construct secret bases and airfields would add an interesting dimension to this feature. right now, all major target coordinates are open to both sides.
Which is very realistic. The vast majority of strikes, especially the ones targeting the enemy's infrastructure, C2 network, airfields, etc. should be preplanned.
so cool love it. so when are we going to see the ah-64 tutorials 🚁
This will be good for you our Liberation campaign. We often have bad weather or just a bunch of clouds over the AO.
Finally thanks
Nice implementation from ED , some clarification? in OSB #2 we have the AUTO label for A-G radar in Auto mode and MAN label when the Radar went into Manual mode: Range Scale Selection (OSB 2)
An automatic range scale option is available in the following modes: GM, EXP, DBS1, DBS2, FTT, SEA, GMTI and GMTT.
Auto range scale switching is enabled via OSB 2 which toggles AUTO or MAN. AUTO range scale switching, which is on
by default, may be disabled by depressing OSB 2 or by manually changing the range scale. Any range scale change
made via OSB will return the radar to manual (MAN) range scale operation So A-G Radar is in AUTO be default and has the label AUTO in OSB#2 and MAN form MANUAL A-G mode. in the video was vies versa think?
How are these screens so bright during the day? That is what caught my interest...
You can adjust them.
YASSSSSSS
What he said...
Yes!!
