DCS F-16C Viper Released to OpenBeta

ED has released their F-16C Viper module into early access (OpenBeta). Later, it will be released on the “Stable” version.

This has been a rapid development due to an incredibly hard-working team and leveraging the technology and know how created for the FA-18C Hornet module. Both products will now move ahead in parallel and benefit from each other.

 

We can't wait until we can start making 

campaigns for this aircraft!

Additionally there are 12 single player practice missions with in-air starts so you can perfect your BFM tactics, techniques and procedures.

There are over 1000 voice-overs and over 45 pages of briefing material including the RED FLAG Spins, Red Forces In Flight Guide, Maps, Diagrams, Custom Knee-boards and Mission Data cards.

These should make for an awesome, realistic carrier experience when flying the FA-18C Hornet or F-14 Tomcat!

Enjoy!
