Development status/Issues/Todo
Issues to be fixed shortly:
- The first time the user change the view (ie. by hiting "v") there is a 10/15 seconds pause.
- This seems to be due to the liveries textures. Removing the Livery choice and all associated entry in the -set file doesn't change the delay. Then reducing and flatening (remove alpha channel) the main texture f16.rgb from 2048 to 1024 px reduce the delay to 6/7 sec, then flatening the transparent logo texture f16-trans.rgb reduce the delay to 3/sec.
- Solution: switch to PNG textures, remove transparency on logos or even remove logos. Use a different mapping layout with 4 x 1024^2 textures instead of 1 x 2048^2 texture. Optimize surface usage in the textures, flaten textures as much as possible. (see much more complicated and detailled f-14b which doesn't suffer delay)
TDL FDM:
- Main U/C is above ground.
- Vibration when accelerating on the runway for takeof.
TDL Outside
- flaps are in wrong position and can't be triggered.
- that's because the f16 is flight computer controlled, so this is correct and NOT an error. (this to be moved in flight documentation)
- pilot's shoulder patch is empty. (remove ?)
- engine turbines do not rotate (is it useful ?)
TDL Cockpit and systems:
- HSI 3d model and textures.
- internal/external lighting panel.
- FMD's buttons pick animation. Define a logic in the FMD interactivity ?
- ICP better texture. buttons pick animation. Define a logic in the ICP interactivity ?
- HUD modes:
- A/A mode
- Basic nav mode (those could be a first step in order to provide usability in short term)
Sounds: (Low priority)
- Establish a list of all sounds that can be produced by the F-16 and its driver:
Cockpit:

- missile launch
- warning **implemented**
- chaff/flare
- jammer
