F-16C Fighting Falcon 'Silber'

50.5k ChaMikey  7.0 years ago

F-16 painted in the Silber team livery, took a while to get right with the camouflages on control surfaces, this might reduce its performance due to the smaller control surfaces main wing but eh, it works. hope you all enjoy it, cheers!

sorry for the re-upload, forgot to switch the cockpit from @Dippers Su-47, only needed the paint style from his build.

Controls :
- act 1 to drop fuel tanks
- act 2 + VTOL down to lower flaps
- act 3 + VTOL up/down to raise/lower landing gear doors
- act 4 for afterburners

Instructions :
- On Take-off, raise the gear door after the gear and deactivate it.
- On Landing, lower the gear door, deactivate it, and then lower the flaps.
- Landing speed 140mph, full flaps down, nose up.

History :
The General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon is a single-engine supersonic multirole fighter aircraft originally developed by General Dynamics (now Lockheed Martin) for the United States Air Force (USAF). Designed as an air superiority day fighter, it evolved into a successful all-weather multirole aircraft. Over 4,500 aircraft have been built since production was approved in 1976. Although no longer being purchased by the U.S. Air Force, improved versions are still being built for export customers. In 1993, General Dynamics sold its aircraft manufacturing business to the Lockheed Corporation, which in turn became part of Lockheed Martin after a 1995 merger with Martin Marietta.

The Fighting Falcon has key features including a frameless bubble canopy for better visibility, side-mounted control stick to ease control while maneuvering, a seat reclined 30 degrees to reduce the effect of g-forces on the pilot, and the first use of a relaxed static stability/fly-by-wire flight control system which helps to make it a nimble aircraft. The F-16 has an internal M61 Vulcan cannon and 11 locations for mounting weapons and other mission equipment. The F-16's official name is "Fighting Falcon", but "Viper" is commonly used by its pilots and crews, due to a perceived resemblance to a viper snake as well as the Battlestar Galactica Colonial Viper starfighter.

In addition to active duty for U.S. Air Force, Air Force Reserve Command, and Air National Guard units, the aircraft is also used by the USAF aerial demonstration team, the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds, and as an adversary/aggressor aircraft by the United States Navy. The F-16 has also been procured to serve in the air forces of 25 other nations. As of 2015, it is the second most common currently operational military aircraft in the world.
