Cool to see, what a bit of texture does to the 3D feel of the cockpit. Once again impressive work from Deka, the JF-17 continues to lift above it's weight.
The JF-17 is my favourite fighter to fly. You can do just about everything in it but you have to pick your battles. I have not had a chance to look myself yet but the BRM90s also got a change in that we now get info on the SMS page for the amount.
Great to see so much love for the JF17 in these comments!! It doesn't get enough attention in my opinion. Also very nice to see the VAF JF17 skin there Deephack!
I really need to get back into the JF-17. I toyed around with it a bit and liked flying it, but the INS align procedure was too much of a chore for me, having to input start coordinates.
Manually setting coordinates for INS is painful. Better to "Update INS Align Data" in the "Configuration Panel" and then just directly set INS to FAST+NAV while still having to set the THDG manually. For true hardcore experience though set INS to GC and then chill for 4 minutes while it measures the Earth's magnetic field.
Only issue I have is not seeing an obvious method to change the hemisphere of the coordinates I am typing in. It's a non issue in almost all the maps except SA and Nevada.
@@TheSkipjack95 Click the arrows on the UFC next to N and E on the UFC, it will swap them over to S and W, and vice-versa. But yeah usually it starts off in the right settings.
I want to like this plane because its different and I like to be different, but it suffers from an identity crisis. Is it true multirole? You have to go either or and it doesn't excel at either. You just can't carry enough stores and when you get into a fight you have to use your burner and your fuel runs low quick.. it has a great array of weapons but it can't carry enough of them. Don't get me started on the gun.... if we got a bit more pylon efficiency out of it I would fly this plane a lot more. As it stands I can't justify flying it over f18 or f16 or even the tomcat.
It is 100% mulitrole, but it is not swing-role (unless you trick it a bit). You have to decide before your mission, what you want to do and get rewarded with an extremely capable aircraft. A-A is essentially the same loadout as the F-16, SEAD capabilities are fantastic anyway. A-G is where it gets interesting, you can be incredibly efficient with the glide bombs, especially when the target can be designated with the radar, so you don't have to carry a T-pod. That's when you can convince her to be swing role, single tank, glide bombs and missiles, alternatively 2xSD10 on one side and 2xLS-6 250 on the other, tanks on the inner pylons pod on the centerline. Sure, raw firepower is not the same as the other Teen Series fighters, but the Jeff can make her munitions go a surprisingly long way.
2 x fuel , 1x double SD-10 , 1x BRM pod , wmd and 2x pl-5 I feel is a pretty decent CAS-with-selfdefence loadout. You've got decent range with the fuel, 16x laser guided rockets and a couple of very good Fox 3s.

when you master textures and good mapping, you can really have good effects without using a stupid amount of polygons !
Always nice to see a module getting some love
wow there is a massive difference of details in the modules in dcs, i wish all of the modules had the same details like pilot chatter and what not.
JF-17 is my fav module in DCS. There is so much too it. I keep figuring out random things after hundreds of hours flying it.
It's a brilliant aircraft and a lot of fun to fly in the sim. Deka did great work, especially with all the updates it has gotten.
Wow, the cockpit looks much better!
Yeah the difference is quite stunning. Really liking the cockpit ambience also.
Looks great.
I was surprised how much I enjoyed the jet when I trialed it a few months ago. Will be grabbing it when it gets discounted a bit more.
Interesting looking airplane. It’s like a Viper mated with a Tiger.

Hi, deephack, the GC mode of INS alignment is implemented. You can set it to GC mode without manually setting the heading.
I was wondering bout this (I remember reading bout this being added). Thanks for pointing this out
Thanks, I'll need to check this out.
I really need to get back into the JF-17. I toyed around with it a bit and liked flying it, but the INS align procedure was too much of a chore for me, having to input start coordinates.
You can avoid that by asking the ground crew to input them into the DTC.
I think you are right with updated ECS sounds. The defog sound is much less annoying now.
Yeah the JF-17's cockpit looks a LOT better.
The jet with the sexiest Bitchin‘ Betty voice 🥰.

@@TheSkipjack95 The hemisphere is automatic in the JF-17. I don't know what method it uses but it is auto detected by the aircraft.

need apache ah 64 tutorials
Those “UFC” and “MFD” button press sounds would get old quick.
