Lago F-16

[Tequila Sunrise]

I just found somewhere I can buy it with a solo card, does anyone have anything bad to say about it at all before I buy it?

[codered]

I have nothing but great things to say about this product.  Lago has come a long way since the first release.  I purchased the very first one and since then they have come up with some patches that makes it very worth while.  There are numerous liveries that it comes with plus some people at Avsim have uploaded their own paint jobs.  The sounds are great the realism of the model, panels and cockpit are very cool.  I don't know about the flight dynamics, since I am not a Viper pilot, but they seem pretty good to me.  Many agree that it is one of the best addons every made.  You can go to www.lagoonline.com and go into their forum to read up more on their products.

good, thanks for the link and are there any affects on frame rates?

[Ridge_Runner_5]

It does create a small frame rate hit, but nothing near what I expected!! It has framerates comperable to the MelJet aircraft...

I'm thinking about buying it.

[Tequila Sunrise]

I've bought it

In my view the model is a bit off, I've seen enough F-16's in my lifetime to know that the nose is to short and doesnt dip enough, the wings dont have the F-16's characteristic "wingwarp" and the tail is not long enough. But after that its a good model, but could of been much better.

Blade, Lago had F-16 pilots test it and there are other pilots who are posting in their forum and not one of them had any complaints about the body.  ::)

FM yes, but not the stuff you have listed. You are aware there are 4 different models in the release, A, B, C & D?

For those of you who have purchased it there are a few people who are only releasing skins in the forum. STORM, DAG & MO are just a few.

DAG's site is here and he also has some awesome Tornado skins.  http://home.online.no/~dagrs/

Crazycraig, I have it as well as some of my squadmates and it flies very nice. THE BEST F-16 out there right now and the skin pack was just released so you can expect to find alot more skins coming soon

[Tequila Sunrise]

looks great, though I'm happy with the default ones for now.

no the shape of it is perfect, i dont know why you say that

I read somewhere tha the LAGO F-16 board has the refueling thing like the Tornado package, is this correct?

[Blade]

Yea it has the same as the Tornado package. I say its different because I have a beta of the I3D F-16 and compared the two of them, and talked to Jamal who's designing I3D's F-16, they are a bit off, and Jamal says his is more accurate. LAGO's is still good for me, just don't like the texturing in the gear wells and the VC could be better, but its the best F-16 out right now so I'm not one to judge I guess.

[BFMF]

I got the F-16 package and I like it a lot. I need to figure out how to operate it, cuz it's complicated to use

And the re-fueling module.....

I've spent over an hour trying to hold 250 knts while being lined up perfectly, but broke off the chase because I was low on fuel

[blaze]

i agree. the lago f16 is superb. the price isnt, but its worth every penny

[planespotter]

be sure to check the forums there are that's were most of the skinners post their work to be downloaded.

Mo, Storm and Dag are the 3 I know off the top of my head
