General Dynamics F-16/Development

This page will organize the development efforts for the F-16. See F16.

Efforts

Personnel

Erik Hofman has kindly granted username: Blackbird to continue development on the F-16 model. This page was created to organize all development for this aircraft.

Focus

Development will attempt to accurately model FlightGear F-16. In order to do so, relevant documentation and system information are required. Since the documentation for the MLU and F-16 C Block 50 variant is available in the form of the MLU manuals, many aspects of the current aircraft can be improved.
