Hi, wondering if anyone can recommend a good version of the F-16 Viper by Kirk Olsen for FSX ( or an updated one for that matter), as some do not install with afterburner effect and there are various other anomilies..

I have tried  a couple of the site download files, but I am about to go and install the FS9 version to see if this wll work any better.

I would be very grateful for any feedback. Thanks.

Hi

It's quite easy to add little things like effects.

Without knowing what you've tried and what it is you want in one -- here is one I would suggest
 

Think Global. It's the world we live in.

Thanks Pete,
Have now tried this one also, but still not working out of the box as mentioned in the file description. No afterburner and no exterior lights/beacons
showing.
It must need more than just placing the unzip file into the simobjects/airplanes folder, as even I know that usualy you are asked to place effects and gauges into their respective folders within the main FSX folder.

Also notice a problem with th fuselage graphics. ( see red circle)

...

I appreciate your help, but will do a little more of the trial and error stuff for the time being as this is usually how we find most things out, and boy have I done my share of that over the last decade or so.

Thanks for trying anyway Pete.

You could take a look at this
http://simviation.com/1/search?submit=1&keywords=F-16_Package.zip&x=20&y=10&mess...
You'll get some old gauges, but try to close them.
(I got one i need to close every time i launch the ac)

Otherwise you will need this

Thanks man,

I take it that the screenies are of the Aerosoft model, real nice.
I trawled all over the web the other day intent on buying the IRIS F-16 only to find out that they had withdrawn it  from purchase at all sites for a reason no one seems to mention or know about.

Waiting to see if it is ever goes back on the market again seems like my best option at the moment.

Ya, with the F16s the options out there for models is not that extensive. I will give those aircraft a shot as well, as I am looking for an alternative to the Aerosoft one, as you cant fly six of them in a delta without a lot of lag. Cry
