Superb video, one of the best tutorials I have seen, very clearly set out.
Thank you for the nice comment! Glad it could help you. In the beginning it was best tricky to master all the systems and buttons.
Man you just created the first completed toturial for the f-16 on the internet.I was looking for this for a long time, well done!!!
BADKALOS Many thanks for your kind comment!
I really wanted to feel and know how it was to fly the mighty F-16 because a very good simulation existed. I couldn't find much information either so I started studying documentation from different sources. I'm glad it helped you! Thanks for letting me know.
The F-16 has one of the most beautifully designed cockpits of any aircraft in the world. I got a chance to sit in one as a child, a completely active bird too. Just not powered up or anything. My uncle was an F-16 mechanic in the early 90s and of course had a good relationship with the squadron pilots. I don't know the exact story but I guess he pulled some kind of strings and I was able to get a chance to sit in one, under supervision of course. I was allowed to grab the stick but that's pretty much it...so I just got to look around and be in awe of where I was.
That experience led me to being fascinated with this plane. One of these days I really have to spend the money on getting a good HOTAS setup and then get serious about learning a sim like Falcon BMS. I'm not gonna get to fly this bird in the real world so that's the next closest thing for a civilian like me. But anyway, this cockpit is so intuitively designed. Everything is easy to reach, the reclined ejection seat to help the pilot handle high Gs. Completely unrestricted view through the bubble canopy. The MFDs and RWR are positioned in the perfect positions. You really feel like you're a part of the machine while sitting in this jet due to how it's laid out.
What a great machine.
Thank you for your story! I have never seen an F-16 from close, but always found it a mighty airplane. When I was around 12 years, the Belgian office from General Dynamics wasn't very far from where I lived. I got some official brochures and documentation. I still have it. In 1998, I bought the Falcon 4.0 simulation software and loved it. At that time, I wasn't that good at it though. In the mean time, I was able to fly it more correctly with a full startup and procedures. I was hoping to make a video for it, but don't have the time for the moment. Thanks.
I bought this game with the F-16 add on thinking this will take me months to figure out. Cold/dark setup, navigation, coms, and flying. After watching your tutorial like 12 or so times I can successfully say I completed my first flight which was Buckely AFB (Aurora, Colorado) to Cheyenne Municipal Airport (Cheyenne, Wyoming) without the guide and I learned all of this in less than 24 hours. This tutorial is awesome and I strongly recommend this video if your trying to learn how to properly fly an F-16 in FSX. Thank you for making this video! I still can't believe how easy it was to learn everything in such a short amount of time.. ^___^
Thank you! Glad the video helped you! In the beginning all those buttons and systems are indeed taunting. Congratulations with your flight and thanks for the comment!
Not the first time I have used one of the Gunther tutorials, I recognized the ice cool tone!
Just transferred to the F16 and wanted to say - ubber danka baby! Outstanding work and in one day I managed to watch/look/listen/learn/commit to memory and safely expedite A to Z.
Graham
You certainly made me laugh with your comment. Glad it could help you.
That was always what I had in mind when making these videos. I learned an airplane using the official documentation combined with what I had learned from other airplanes, sources and comments from viewers. Then I made a step by step summary. This way I can help other people and also myself if I want to fly it again after a long time without having to spend days/weeks to study it again.
With the F-16 I wanted to go further with the Falcon BMS simulator, but I couldn’t find the time to finish it.
Thanks for the comment and support!
Ik heb pas recent de Aerosoft F16 aangekocht. Prachtig vliegtuig en ik gebruik deze video om wegwijs te worden, waarvoor dank Gunther. Ik bezit ook de Aerosoft F14, en ik moet zeggen de jongens van Aerosoft doen geweldig werk. Ik mis wel de condensstrepen aan de vleugeltips bij bochtwerk. Ik heb de echte F16 bezig gezien op Beauvechain en ik moet wel opmerken dat de echte een stuk agiler is en veel kortere turns kan maken dan de Aeroft in FSX.
+Frederik Leemans
Dank je wel Frederik! Ik had het nog niet opgemerkt dat er geen condensstrepen zijn. Ik zal er volgende keer op letten.
Dan zal het simulatiemodel toch niet helemaal zo correct zijn. Er zou een nieuwe versie in ontwikkeling zijn (Aerosoft) met TacPack. Maar daarvoor zullen we wel nog meer dan een jaar moeten wachten.
Gunther
+Gunther Willems Dat was een snel antwoord. Nog één vraagje: volgens ik kan zien vlieg jij met deze F16 in Prepar3D of ben ik mis. Dus dat werkt? Zo ja, is het voor mij als gepensioneerd persoon (!) de academic version te verwerven en is mij pc daarvoor wel krachtig genoeg? Eigenlijk is dit meer dan één vraag maar kom, we gaan nie zagen hé. Mijn pc specs: i7 3770 3,4 ghz, 16 gb ram, nvidia GTX 660. Thanks again!
+Frederik Leemans
Ja, het werkt in Prepar3D (ik heb nu versie 2.5 academic). Vermits je het nog moet aanschaffen, versie 3 heeft vele optimalisaties. Ik wacht nog wat om het opnieuw aan te schaffen tot alle ontwikkelaars compatibele versies uitbrengen en ik de moed heb om alles terug te installeren :-)
Zelf heb ik GTX 770, 8GB, i7-4770 @ 3.4 dat iets hoger is dan jouw configuratie. Als ik op Internet kijk naar je configuratie zou je zeggen dat het geen probleem mag zijn. Mits natuurlijk de settings van de simulator aan te passen volgens wat haalbaar is. Als het in FSX goed werkt denk ik niet dat het in P3D veel slechter zal zijn.
+Gunther Willems Nogmaals bedankt maat. Eindelijk eens iemand waar ik een deftig antwoord van krijg.
In my search to find a nice tutorial for this plane, I was very pleased to find Gunther had made one. Whew.
Glad you could use my video. In the beginning it isn't easy to find all the buttons :-) Thanks for the comment!
Jacob Aubertin bruh just read the manual it tells u more than him
Danku voor een goede en duidelijke tutorial!!
Dank je wel! Ik ben zeer blij dat het je kan helpen.
Bravo !! Ca c'est un Tuto ! Quel classe !! J'ai fait ce vol en même temps que ton tutoriel, et je peux te dire que c'était vraiment parfait. Merci mille fois. Je me suis abonné à ta chaîne
Merci beaucoup pour ces mots chaleureux! Chouette que ça t’a pu aider! Je me rappelle qu'au début ce n’était pas si facile avec tous ces boutons partout. Quand j’ai du temps j’aimerais faire une vidéo du F-16 avec le simulateur Falcon 4 BMS. Avec celui-là on peut faire le démarrage complet avec les tests et tout. Merci!
super goeie film met even goede uitleg. well done. dit is hoe je een tutorial maakt. 👍
+aboesimbel
Heel erg bedankt voor de positieve commentaren! Het is plezierig te weten dat het heeft geholpen. In het begin is zo'n cockpit altijd een zee van knoppen :-)
+Gunther Willems Ik heb inmiddels door hoe je genavigeerd hebt naar de bestemming, middels de NAV instellingen en je eerst naar de VOR vliegt, en daarna een linkerbocht maakt naar de runway. Duidelijk. Is er ook een manier om met de GPS naar je doel te vliegen?
+Gunther Willems P.s: is het ook mogelijk om de missiles en tanks wel of niet onder je vleugel te hangen? Ik kies altijd een kaal toestel uit, maar zal voor een lange vlucht tanks nodig hebben....
+aboesimbel
Ja, je kunt via GPS naar je doel vliegen. In de video gebruik ik het voordat ik naar de VOR vlieg. Er moet een vluchtplan actief zijn om de te volgen lijnen te zien. Dit kan je doen in de simulator (zie 13:15 in de video). Nu gebruik ik meestal Plan-G om het vluchtplan aan te maken omdat je dan gemakkelijk custom waypoints kunt instellen. Op het rechter MFD scherm (map) kan je ook informatie zien zoals luchthavens, VOR, ILS, terrein, verkeer, ...
Ik heb 2 video's gemaakt waarin ik Plan-G gebruik moest je het niet kennen. Het is gratis.

Ik dacht dat je enkel een 'livery' kan kiezen met al dan niet tanks of wapens eronder. Ik heb geen weet van een wapen manager in deze simulatie.
All your videos are very nice, your comments too. And your english very well for a french people like me. thks
+ayrton74570
Thanks for your comment and support! I appreciate it.
thank you very much sir! it is very helpful for me while using Oculus rift VR headset
Glad it can help you! I've never used a VR headset. Curious to try it once. I've read that the Oculus Rift is among - probably even - the best one at the moment. Thanks for the comment.
OUTSTANDING.
Thank you! Glad it could help you.
amazing tutorial! thanks.
CaptainChaos Huge thanks for your nice comment! It was the most difficult airplane to master and summarize till now. I'm glad I took the time to do it. Thanks!
Gunther Willems Obviously you put up a lot of effort to master how to fly this bird and make a video abt it, the tips on how to use the autopilot and how to land properly were very useful, thanks again.
best tutorial :) thanks
+ibrahim Eğinç
Thank you very much! Appreciated. Glad it could help you.
Good job.
Thank you!
Very good tutorial!
Thank you very much! Glad it could help you. Thanks for the comment.
Gunther Willems Are you a pilot on real life?
No, I’m not. In 2001 I followed the lessons in MS Flight simulator and passed the private pilot and instrument rating checkrides. But even with this, you miss a lot of important information. I read a lot of documentation. In 2015, I followed paid online lessons about aviation, VFR, IFR, complex dual engine. After that I subscribed for a paid online course for the Boeing 737. And the comments from the people looking at my videos helped also. And I’m still learning :-)
Awesome thanks
Thanks for the comment. Glad it could help you.
thanks for that
Thank you for the comment! Glad it could help.
That was totally awesome ... I loved it the take off the flight the landing . Nice job ! I hope some day I can do the same and know what it is I'm doing like did here ???
Thank you! I needed a lot of flights and practice before I could land it :-) The takeoff is easy.
Can you post the procedure for start up and how to use the gps to get from point a to point b ? I keep watching the video but is time consuming maybe a print out ?
Maybe a pdf for the f16 and the f18?
You can find the startup procedures and other documentation with the airplane: Manual_F16_Engl Aerosoft.pdf
Learning to fly an airplane is always time consuming. The more buttons, the more systems, the more complex it will be. Sometimes starting an airplane from cold & dark to ready to fly takes around 30 minutes. It is normal for a video to be longer than 30 minutes. I always add subtitles to make it easier to skip to a point of interest.
That‘s just what I was looking for. Thank you so much, mate! Well done! Did you also master inflight refueling? 👏👍🤝♥️
Regards from Uruguay
Thank you for the comment! Glad that it could help you. I never did a refueling. In Prepar3D you need special software to do it.
As always Mr. Willems very nice review and tutorial, thank you very much for postig this video...!! I was looking for a tutorial on the Aerosoft F-16 One question I was looking in the Aerosoft forum about the clicking sounds on the cockpit, but I couldn't find anything. I you kindly help me on this, because my clicks don't sound on my cockpit... Geeting from Venezuela.....!
Thank you for the nice comment! I have no clue about the missing sounds in the cockpit. I searched the internet but cannot find a solution. In the past Aerosoft said in their forum: "We had the same with the F-16 where there was a sound issue for some users and not for others. We never found out what caused it." A post on their forum with the same question in December 2015 was never answered.
Are you using FSX, FSX:SE or P3D? If it's P3D, did you install it with a migration tool? I used it in the past. If you're using P3D, I can install it without the migration tool and see if I have the same problem.
Great tutorial and nice landscape too. Which airports you flight in this video?
Thanks !
+Pierre L
Thank you very much! I always put the add-ons and software in the video description. For this flight I was flying from Orbx - Palm Springs International to 29Palms - KTNP Twentynine Palms with Orbx - Global BASE & VECTOR
I like Falcon BMS but the terrain looks way more interesting on this game:)
Yes, that is true. I like each one for it's best options.
I used to have Falcon 4.0 Allied Force, and I really knew the F-16. Then I eventually bought Falcon 4.0 from 1998 so I can download 4.33 BMS, and I love it. It's super realistic, and it only took 1 hour to download. I also bought FSX Steam Edition and the F-16, so I can fly group flights on my Virtual Airline. None of this would have happened if my X Plane 10 wouldn't have crashed constantly. I am sad to have lost pay ware on X Plane 10, but FSX, and P3D is better, and if you want a really good F-16 sim, get Falcon 4.33 BMS. The update is free, and you just have to download from the Benchmark Sims website forum.
I bought Microprose Falcon 4.0 on 27/02/1999. I still have the original box with all the books and the cdrom in it. Such a long time ago :-) At that time I wasn't that good. But it was interesting and I could fly it. Some months ago, I used Falcon BMS 4.33. Great graphics and simulation. I don't have a DVD player in my computer anymore, so I bought it again on Steam for a little price. Glad you like it too.
Excuse me sir if you can get a rafal and startup
Hi after landing F-16, the planes skids off rw and just starts spinning !!!! it does not happen with other planes.. Plz help any advice ??
I only use FSX to go online, and the Aerosoft F-16 is the only addon i have the issue with.
Perfect! Good jod. But how d u start the scenery with the plane cold? I tried many planes in p3d v4, they r all with engines on
Thank you! In the video at 2 minutes I use shift+2 to get a menu to change to cold & dark or ready to fly. That is in the original version from Aerosoft F-16. I don't have P3Dv4 yet. It's the same version, but perhaps there are changes?
Some airplanes have a keyboard combination, others have an external configuration program to set the default outside the simulator, others have nothing and the airplane is started in cold & dark or started by default and cannot be changed. Then you can set it like you want and save it like this in the airport you are at that moment. In the last case I shut it down first to start it then.
all right, thanks, i'll try, but i guess, i tried it before with no success:) Anyway, if i'd get it , ill message it
Man very good tutorial!!! Is there any autopilot for speed?
Thank you! I didn't think it has a speed autopilot. To be sure I looked it up in the manual: "The auto pilot systems in the F-16 are rather rudimentary with just pitch and roll controls."
I,m in love with your vídeos , Can you do this with the F22 Raptor ?
Thank you! Glad it can help you.
I will consider it. But it will not be in the direct next months I fear.
I'll be around here watching to see if you do the F-22 Raptor video
Great video ! ;) Good job !
Is possible set the trasponder?
Luca Bani Thank you, much appreciated!
You cannot change it on de DED (Data Entry Display). On the left side of the cockpit, somewhere in the middle (before the throttle) you can find the transponder code. You can click the buttons below it to change the number. The DED will automatically show the same number.
Gunther Willems Thank you ! I've found it ;)
Sometimes i see the F-16 from Aviano air base...
Luca Bani You are lucky! Or not if you don't like the noise :-)
Good tutroial, only one thing, the F-16 is a very simple plane to fly, so you realy just need to read the manual and jump in
kimbonzky
Thank you!
To fly it is relatively easy compared to other more modern jet fighters. But in the beginning to find and understand all the buttons and switches is not evident.
Personally, when I haven't flown it for some months, I like to see my summary again to have a quick refresh.
how can it be fashionable for loads of bigger G's?
One question, is this falcon from XPlane or Microsoft Flight Simulator X, where can I purchase an F-16 addon with as many features and details as the one in the video. Well, I already looked on Steam, and I couldn't find it for sale.
You can find all the details in de description of the video. It was Prepar3D 2.4 (P3D). Most of the 3rd party airplane simulation developers don't develop for P3D anymore and transitioned to Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. I think that the best F-16 simulation is Falcon BMS. It’s free. The graphics are a bit less, and you cannot fly in the whole world.
The one used here is the Aerosoft F-16 in Prepar3D (P3D)
@@GuntherWillems Thanks for the information, I'm studying to be a pilot, not a military one, but I really like military planes, and the F-16 is my favorite, I like the idea of activating it and following the procedures checklist, it's a feeling close to reality revealed in a simulator, this is the closest a civilian would have to contact with a procedure like this. This way, the simulation doesn't feel like a game, where you just move the joystick.
Great tutorial. Thank you. I wonder is there an F-16 sounds pack for realistic sounds? There is one IRIS - AUDIOWORX F-16 SOUNDPACK FSX, but not sure if it works with the steam edition of FSX.
+Safdar Muhammad
Thanks again! This sound pack was intended for their F-16D (dual seat version by IRIS). I think it was never released. Apparently it is compatible with the Aerosoft F-16C. So also with FSX:SE that uses the same airplane configuration files. I cannot confirm it though. I don't have FSX:SE and the sound pack.
+Safdar Muhammad Sorry to bother you. I have found a soundpack. Thanks
+Gunther Willems Thank you. I have seen this tutorial several times and it is awesome. I am new to FSX and F-16. The landing was amazing. I really need to learn navigation skills in order to approach the runway from a proper direction and height.
+Safdar Muhammad
No problem. I’m glad it could help you. It’s true, it was my best landing and I was luckily recording it for the video. It was a rather narrow runway. The HUD is a great help at landing. In later videos I set the seat a bit higher before landing (shift+enter).
Thanks for your comments!
+Gunther Willems I have one more question. Does this bird has a deploy-able weapons system? Or is it designed just for free flights? Also, how about the M2M M2K? Does that have a weapons system? Thanks and Regards
nice job! how come YOUR F-16 has click sounds for the switches and buttons, and mine does not?
+Chris Moisan
Thank you! That isn't normal. I just installed it. I searched the Aerosoft forum for similar problems. I found your question :-) I hope they can help you because this sounds like a technical problem.
How are you able to click through some objects?
At how many minutes in the video can you see the cursor go through objects? Otherwise I always use the left mouse button to click buttons and switches in the cockpit. Sometimes the right mouse button or the mouse wheel can be used.
can you do a tutorial on the beechcraft t-34c on steam store for fsx please?
It's certainly a beautiful airplane! I don't have FSX:SE though.
Hello
Can you tell me if the start-up is possible even without following the procedure?
Thanks
You can use the automatic startup (2 minutes in the video you see the option). Or you could use a minimal part from the startup procedure by only keeping what is needed to start the engine and set the instruments.
Could you please tell me how I can set the cold and start state?
Shift + 2 then click on the cold and dark F-16 picture!
how can i open betty and similar warning sounds? i fly with f 16s at fsx se and i dont know how to do this
I had to look it up. It looks like the Bitching Bettys warning sounds aren't completely implemented.
Gunther Willems ok please if you look it tell me ok??
Ahah no no ! I love this music ;)
Luca Bani Welcome to the club ;-)
Which game is this
goede tutorial gunther!
ik vlieg ook vaak met de Aerosoft F-16. mn favoriet toestel! enkel krijg ik hem niet online? ik wordt iedere keer gekicked wegens "slechte addon". heb jij hier ook last van?
kris aerts
Dank je wel!
Zelf heb ik nog niet online gevlogen. Welk systeem gebruik je om online te gaan? Vatsim, FSX, FSX:Steam, P3D. Als het met andere vliegtuigen geen probleem geeft moet het inderdaad van deze addon komen.
Ik zet er de Engelse tekst bij voor moest iemand anders toevallig het probleem kennen.
(ENGLISH summary:
When trying to fly online he gets "bad addon". Until now I haven't flown online. What system was used to go online? If other airplanes don't have this problem it must be this addon. )
Nice video mr.Gunther.I have a question. The Vrs t.p. can be synchronized with particular aircraft?
How can I change transponder code manually?
You cannot change it on de DED (Data Entry Display). On the left side of the cockpit, somewhere in the middle (before the throttle) you can find the transponder code. You can click the buttons below it to change the number. The DED will automatically show the same number.
can i ask something??? how can i open betty and system warning sounds????
I had to look it up. It looks like the Bitching Bettys warning sounds aren't completely implemented.
Why I did not operate on-board computer doing everything as a movie and not be included. Please help :(

Hey, ben je van belgie? goede video trouwens
+Wout Vandenbogaerde
Ja, het land heb je correct geraden. :-) In mijn laatste video over de F-4E had ik eens een landing te Brussel gedaan. Bedankt voor het commentaar!
How can ı get this aircraft in my FSX? I cant download from anywhere. If you have a download link share this with me pls!
You can get it from the original distributor: www.aerosoft.com/us/flight-simulation/flight-simulator-x/aircraft/1648/f-16-fighting-falcon
Or from other flightsim stores like secure.simmarket.com/aerosoft-online-f-16-fighting-falcon-x.phtml
If it ain't FA-116 That one flew over my house while my window was open.. it knocked over a couple things.
where did you get this paint ?
When I bought this airplane, it was included.
I find myself having trouble rotating off of the runway. It tends to start rotating at 250-275knots. Is this because I tend to fly F-16's with external fuel tanks and bombs loaded onto the wings?
The rotation speed will certainly be higher with an airplane fully loaded. I'm searching for takeoff charts, but cannot find them. If I find it, I will give more information.
Try Falcon BMS 4.33 if you want learn this beautiful jet.....;)
I have flown it many times. Visually you see that it is older software, even in the latest 4.33, but not bad at all and the simulation is indeed many times better. I own the original box Falcon 4.0 from 1999. It's weight is 1.3 kg :-)
Haha so true, I just recently bought the original Falcon 4.0 from steam to get Falcon BMS 4.33. That is a better F-16 simulator because it is just like the real thing and was made for combat simulation. By the way Mr. Williems, do you fly on DCS World?
I haven't used it. Perhaps in the future. I haven't decided yet. It's also known as a very good simulator. It will also have an F-16.
is this the same startup as with the real life falcon??
Yes, it's a big part of the real startup. In the older simulation Falcon 4 BMS, you can do the full startup with all the tests working. Also, Milviz is working on an F-16 simulation for P3D (&FSX?). I hope it will match the Falcon 4 BMS version.
My previous reply isn't visible, I try again:
Yes, it's a big part of the real startup. In the older simulation Falcon 4 BMS you can do the full startup with all the tests working. Also, Milviz is working on a F-16 simulation for P3D (&FSX?).
How do you set the COM radios manually?
+Raphael Hardholt
Sorry, I didn't see your message until now.
At 17:59 and 19:29 minutes in the video, I set the COM radio manually.
+Gunther Willems bedankt :)
One question: I could not find F-16 for P3D. Is it the FSX version compatible with P3D? Thanks
It was working without problems in P3D 2.4. I don't know if it also works in the new version P3D 3.3. Probably it will too. Milviz is also developing an F-16 with optional TacPack support: www.milviz.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=6405
Great. I will try to install it and hope it would recognize p3d.
So it does not install in P3D v3. It displays a message that FSX was not found :(
When an older FSX addon doesn't install correctly I use a migration tool. This one isn't free though: www.flightsim.ee/products/migration-tool
At the moment it has Prepar3D v3 preliminary support
please can i have the link of the f16? please
You can buy it at the developer: www.aerosoft.com/us/flight-simulation/flight-simulator-x/aircraft/1648/f-16-fighting-falcon
Or other flightsim stores like simmarket: secure.simmarket.com/aerosoft-online-f-16-fighting-falcon-x.phtml
Justflight: www.justflight.com/product/aerosoft-f-16-fighting-falcon-x
In the simulator Prepar3D v4 it's a default airplane.
Hi, may I ask how to do speed break extend ... it's seem not work
By default, it is the / key on the keyboard. (=spoilers)
At 41:23 in the video I extend them and my speed is dropping quickly.
At 42 min, you can see that they are out and I put them in
If you use P3D v4, they just updated to 4.0 hotfix 1 with this as one of the corrections: "Fixed the F-16 speedbrakes"
What software do u use to add the subtitles?
I use video editing software. Most of these programs aren't cheap.
RUclips also has an option to add subtitles, but I don't find it that handy.
A selection of video editing software that's used a lot:
Apple Final Cut Pro, Sony/Magix Vegas Pro, ScreenFlow. I use Camtasia
Until 27 December 2017 you can buy the previous version of Vegas PRO 14 Edit for 20$

why flaps auto down to 20 degree?
On the F-16 the flaps and leading edge flaps are automatic. It isn't the pilot that decides if and how much to put the flaps down it's a computer system. At that moment the computer set the flaps to 20°.
Gunther Willems ok thanks
i installed it, and it took me 15 min, to master the game
What is the name of this play
+Hussian Amjad
It's a simulation of the F-16 (without weapons and some other systems). You need a compatible simulator to use it. (FSX, FSX SE (Steam Edition), Prepar3D).
The advantage of FSX, FSX SE (Steam Edition) and Prepar3D is that you can fly any type of airplane (GA, WW2, military jets, airliners, ...) and always have the same environment. You can fly anywhere in world, learn navigation, fly in real weather, ... Most are paid add-ons.
At the moment I'm testing another F-16 simulator: Falcon BMS 4.33. Here, almost everything is simulated. I will try to make a video for this one too. This (older updated) simulator has some military jets, a dynamic campaign and a lot of documentation ;-). It's considered the most realistic F-16 simulator.
Tacpack can only be used with airplanes that are developed for it. The Aerosoft F-16 isn't. But, apparently someone made a mod that adds some tacpack functions to it. See forums.vrsimulations.com/forums/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=109&t=16892
Tacpack supports P3D 3.4.18.19475
forums.vrsimulations.com/forums/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=16933
I can scramble in 2 minutes, with the INS aligning in air.
is mod of DCS World or Dcs Fc?
+Tonyblack
In the description of the video you can find all software that I used. It's Prepar3D v2 that I used.
How to squawk manually if you are playing on VATSIM?
I found nothing in the manual. For the moment you could perhaps set it in your VATSIM client?
Sir, I think we can use the squawk ident in vPilot in this case. This could be the only option:)
nice video good job but tell me can i play fsx at windows 7 32 bit??
+ΓΙΩΡΓΟΣ ΚΕΧΑΓΙΑΣ
Thank you for the comment!
Yes, FSX and FSX SE (Steam edition) are compatible with Windows 7 32 bit.
+Gunther Willems thank you man you save me !!!!!!!!!
Can anybody tell me what time he uses the autpilot? I just want to know how to set HDG, ALT and SPD to use my plane lmao xD
+pyramyde1
This is where I used the autopilot:
At 33:05 ALT ON, at 33:12 HDG ON, at 33:31 I change the heading bug, at 36:49 I explain all the other AP settings (pitch, bank). I always added subtitles to show what I was doing. The rest of the flight was flown without the autopilot.
Gunther Willems Thanks man! :D I'm also from Belgium. :p
I bought this f16 today, did everything like you, but it just stays at 20% when i give power it just wont turn on :( thinking of a refund....
If on the keyboard you push Shift+2 and select Ready to fly, do you have the same problem? Is it FSX, FSX steam edition or P3D that you use as simulator? In the 2 FSX versions it is supposed to work without problems. P3D is trickier because it is not officially supported. In the past it was compatible with P3D 2.4 if installed with a migration tool.
Also test with this option checked: Options / Settings / General / Show Opening Screen (P3D=show scenario startup screen). This way no other airplane is started before the F-16.
Gunther Willems i use fsx se, and yes, same problem when i say ready to fly :(
why can't i start the engine?
I would first see if it starts when using the autostart feature. If that doesn't go either, something could be wrong with the installation. If ok, start it following the procedures in the documentation. I used that to make this video and show it step by step.
Nice video , can i have a printed checklist ?
Captain Karim
Thank you!
You can find the documentation at the bottom of the official page:
www.aerosoft.com/cgi-local/us/iboshop.cgi?showd,,10285
The direct link to the English document: www.aerosoft2.de/downloads/f16/Manual_F16_Engl.pdf
On page 46 you will find the checklist.
What sim is this?
You can find everything in the description of the video. It's Lockheed Martin Prepar3D.
Does the "ALTITUDE HOLD" really work like that in an F-16?? His altitude was all over the place!!
I don't have the real documentation of the F-16 (probably classified). I looked it up in the documentation of the most realistic PC F-16 simulation: Falcon BMS 4. It has the same 2 buttons for the autopilot with: "ALT HOLD commands the aircraft to maintain a constant altitude." "The reference altitude is the altitude the aircraft was at when the A/P switch was engaged" "ALT HOLD - the autopilot will strive to maintain the altitude determined by the INS at the time the PITCH mode switch was set."
Thanks for the quick response!
I used to have this misconception about the autopilot's ALTITUDE HOLD feature--I thought "ALTITUDE HOLD" meant that the autopilot was supposed to HOLD the ALTITUDE, selected by the pilot. Little did I know that, in actuality, setting the ALT HOLD does NOT necessary mean the aircraft will remain at one constant altitude.
(I learned this the HARD way in microsoft's flight simulators! Even with the ALT HOLD set, it didn't stop me from "porpoising!" LOL)
Woah, didn't know other people took off from PSP lol, do you live near?
I'm from Belgium :-) I bought the scenery "Orbx - KPSP Palm Springs International" because I liked the airport and environment.
@@GuntherWillems Yeah, the desert is quite nice visually to fly out of. Plenty of Hornets fly to and from KSPS and PSP, vice versa, as Twenty Nine Palms is a Marine Corps base.
Is it FSX?
+aldair anselmo
The programs and add-ons I use are in the description of the video. The simulator is Prepar3D 2.4. The Aerosoft F-16 is for FSX, but is compatible with Prepar3D.
Thx for video but please record/post in 1080P next time
storkman
Thanks for your comment! Finding affordable video editing software that supports it won't be an easy task.
+storkman What is wrong with 720?
+BLXDK Nothing wrong with 720 was just a request that's all. It will look that much better at 1080P.
+storkman
Personally I have no problem with 720 too. My last video was created in 1080p as a test.
Gunther Willems
depending on what you consider affordable video editing software. take look at Sony Vegas Pro its good software & not to pricey.
This video is awesome can i play this game on windows 7
+Νικολας Κεχαγιας
Thank you!
It's a simulator used by real pilots, students and enthusiasts. It's more a learning platform.
You need at least a simulator (FSX, FSX SE (Steam Edition), Prepar3D) and a simulated airplane (here Aerosoft F-16). Always be sure that the 2 are compatible with each other. For example, I'm not sure if the Aerosoft F-16 is running on the new version of P3D v3. I cannot confirm this because I'm still using version 2.5 at the moment. Version 3 was released 2 months ago. Most developers are adapting their installers for it.
Windows 7 is supported for the 3 simulator platforms.
+Gunther Willems thank you
If just it could take down other vatsim aircrafts :) That would be pure fun! Haw Haw
Babysealskiller
Yes, that is not possible with the current version. But it could be that they will update it in the (near?) future. Perhaps with tacpack support.

Mr. Gunther the Vrs t.p. can be synchronized with particular aircraft?

Thank you for your support!
You can buy new one
Game name
All that was used is in the description of the video. The simulator was Prepar3D 2.4 at that time. Not sure that it works with the current generation of simulators (Prepar3D v5, msfs2020)
Try to put some "ASMR" on your description. It will boost your views up to 300%. I promise! ;)\
Very nice work !
+fares57
Thank you very much!!
I try to find out how to add ASMR to a description :-) Thanks for the tip.
I'll see if the ASMR in the comments will make a difference :-)
Can you give me the plane please?
In P3D v4 it's an airplane that's automatically there. For other simulators, you will need to buy it.
ok thanks
there is no autopilot in the f 16
Aerosoft F-16 documentation page 29: "AUTO PILOT: The auto pilot systems in the F-16 are rather rudimentary with just pitch and roll controls."
Page 11: "The FLCS is also equipped with an Autopilot (AP) function that can maintain attitude, altitude and heading based on the pilot’s choice."
Still the most realistic F-16 simulator: Falcon BMS simulator, Original Falcon 4 manual page 16-3: "Autopilot: Select one of three Autopilot settings". Page 17-15 "Autopilot toggle switch ..."
...
I used it in the video around 36:45 minutes.
Gunther Willems ok sorry and in witch part of the video do you show how to use the autopilot?
No problem. It was at the end of my answer: I used it in the video from 36:45 minutes.
Gunther Willems thank you
A tutorial for this plane seems silly. It's all eye candy and is as easy as any default FSX plane to operate. As to Aerosoft making a new version...this has NOT been confirmed and more than likely will not happen.
+crashbar77
Aerosoft has removed the discussion about the possible development of a new/updated version for the F-16. So indeed for the moment it is not very likely that they will start developing it.
If you use the procedures, checklists and documentation with this F-16 simulation like I did in the video and later try to fly the F-16 in the Falcon BMS 4 simulator, you will have no problem flying and landing it. Falcon BMS 4 still considered one of the best F-16 simulations. I didn't like the 4.32 version that much. I didn't like the graphics and had some problems configuring my flightstick. I see a new version exists (BMS 4.33) in the mean time with a lot of improvements. Perhaps I will test it.
Flying the Aerosoft F-16 was no lost time for me though.
BMS FALCON IS BEST
Indeed! I bought my version on 27/02/1999. That's a long time ago :-) At that time I wasn't that good. But it was interesting and I could fly it.
The last years I didn't like the graphics. But with version BMS 4.33 I'm flying it again. The graphics are great. The best version ever. I really like it and hope to make a video.
Never mind I am stupid
wtf's wrong with the shadow o.o
This airplane is now part of Prepar3D v4. I think the shadows will be better and correct now.
@@GuntherWillems oh okay, cause there was like 4 shadows combined and big like mountains.
Thanks for reply and nice video with precise teaching.
And btw you can start the engine on BAT power only and you can also start the engine directly on Start 2 you can skip Start 1.
fps is very low i think falcon is better
I love the simulator Falcon BMS 4. Yes, it has higher fps, but the graphics in P3D are better and you can take off at any airport. But the graphics in Falcon BMS 4.33 are not bad at all. The past weeks I"m flying the F-16 in it. Hope I can find the time for a summary video. :-) Thanks for the comment!
with low fps graphics are pointless you cant get enjoy with 15-20 fps
Alot of switches and shit
Indeed, that's why I made a summary after learning how to fly it.
Tu est un drôle de pilote tu ne regarde jamais à ta gauche ou à ta droite ta tête est bloqué devant toi il faut toujour regardé bien devant soi mes laaaaa !!!!!! Il y a des limites tu ne profite pas un peut de la vue magnifique TES TRISTE COMME PILOTE VRAIMENT 😔👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎.
C'est une vidéo qui vise à expliquer le démarrage et les systèmes de cet avion complexe.
À 26: 52 je regarde bien autour de l’avion s’il n’y a pas de danger pour rouler sur la piste du décollage. Il y a régulièrement des vues extérieures pour voir l’avion et le paysage.
C'est une vidéo technique pour aider à maîtriser rapidement cet avion sans devoir lire les documentations énormes.
