Swinoujscie, Poland November 28th 2016 – AJS-37 Viggen coming to DCS World!

Leatherneck Simulations, in association with The Fighter Collection and Eagle Dynamics, are immensely proud to announce the development of the AJS-37 for DCS World!

The AJS-37 Viggen is a Swedish double-delta supersonic attack aircraft from the late Cold War. It was the backbone of the Swedish Air Force during the Cold war, serving as the main attack and anti-ship platform.
The AJS is the 90’s upgrade of this 70’s era aircraft, adding several advanced weapons and systems functionalities.
The aircraft was designed around the pilot, with an excellent man-machine interface, supporting the pilot through the smart use of autopilot systems and HUD symbology in order to deliver the ordnance onto targets from treetop level with high speed attack runs.


Key Features of the DCS: AJS-37 Viggen include:
Highly detailed and accurate 6-DOF (Degrees of Freedom) cockpit.
Extensive and highly detailed aircraft modelling systems such as:
CK37 aircraft computer with navigation data, time on target, and fuel calculation systems.
Data input / output interface and pre-planned data cartridge functionality.
Automatic dead reckoning navigation and terrain contour matching position update system.
Flight instrument systems.
Electrical and hydraulic systems.
Advanced RM-8A jet engine modelling with thrust reverser, compressor surges and stalls.
Sophisticated high-resolution air-to-ground radar technology modelling the PS-37/A radar including:
Multiple radar amplifications and filter settings.
Obstacle detection mode.
Memory mode.
Air-to-Air mode.
Highly accurate advanced flight model based on real performance data and documentation.
Maritime reconnaissance capabilities to determine position, course and speed of vessels.
Advanced programmable weapons such as the RB-15F anti-ship missile with multiple waypoints and the configurable BK-90 “Mjolnir” Cluster munitions dispenser.
Detailed modelling of over 14 unique weapons and miscellaneous stores with multiple versions and delivery methods, ranging from rockets, bombs, to advanced air-to-ground missiles such as the command-guided RB-05A and the TV-guided RB-75 “Maverick” missiles.
Comprehensive 400+ page flight manual.
Extensive interactive & voiced training tutorials.
Several campaigns and missions including:
Caucasus campaign
Mini NTTR DACT campaign
Mini Caucasus introduction campaign.
Instant action and single player missions.
This is the product of several years of passion and dedication and we are happy to finally announce the aircraft. We hope you will have as fun learning and flying the aircraft as we have had recreating it.

Sincerely,
The AJS-37 Development team,

Leatherneck Simulations.

Isn't this old news?


DCS Kickstarter
Wags July 2014 "In this July 2014 update, the primary news is in regards to the restructured backer rewards. After a careful review of the older system under RRG, we found it financially unattainable."
Wags October 2017 "the investment vs. generated revenue has been excellent for the World War II aircraft. In fact, the P-51D Mustang has twice the cost effectiveness of the A-10C Warthog."

theres a great youtube vid of the viggen announcement. I loved it something a bit different.
Skip to 1:16 then watch the fun biggrin

Ground Radar looks mighty interesting.

Am I the only one who was expecting Toccata and Fugue in D Minor to play when the logo faded and the reveal began?

They've done some nice work on this jet. Looks pretty.
It's not my subject of interest, but does make me curious how it'll do sales wise. Rather obscure to some. Impulse buy for many.

I might actually get this one.

Of course, without the North Cape, it's not going to be much fun.

They are releasing proper maps for both the F14 and the AJS-37 so you'll most likely get a north atlantic map and some part of the baltic sea.

Well, IF a map was released with it, that could persuade me to purchase it. More NATO mission ideas.

Thanks Charlie.

The question of course will be if it is included with the plane or if it is merely a simultaneous release for an added cost.

In Ye Olde Days of Sims, a sim would come out that was $50-60 with one or more flyable planes and one or more terrains/maps (depending on area covered).

Now it's a la carte simming, where you pay and only get a plane. If you want to claim that the Black Sea map is what "comes" with it, I will point out most of us bought the Black Sea when we got Black Shark. And again when we got A-10C. And again when we got BS2. And again when we got FC3.
In short, we've paid and paid and paid for the terrain we already have, and some of us have paid again for NTTR (although some got it free by buying A-10C early).

If I had a choice at the time of purchase of getting either a DCS-level plane by itself, or an FC3-level plane (with no radios or ADB or other things that make flying more like a job than a hobby) with a new terrain to fly it on, I would pick the simpler plane and new terrain 100% of the time.

I've owned the Ka-50 since day 1, flown it off and on for three presidential elections, and I've never done anything with the ABRIS beyond show a moving map. To this day I still don't know how to use the autopilot in any but the FC3 planes because it's easier to use autolevel/trim and look at a map.

I'm tired of getting a plane and finding out the big thing I'm supposed to enjoy is learning obscure systems I don't enjoy. I enjoy flying into enemy territory and dodging/fighting enemies to get to my target and back. I enjoy out thinking enemy defenses to strike and escape. I don't enjoy trying to train my brain to remember that button A moves line B to intersect circle C if I want to fly to a point that will lead me to a point that may lead to a point where I might face a threat.

I want DCS World to be a world, not a graduate-level systems course.

Some of the aircraft have complex systems, but there's no need to use them that way if it spoils your enjoyment. I always find it amusing when people claim something along the lines of 'I've mastered the A-10C', and by that they mean knowing how to operate the systems.

Ok, that's an important part for sure, but how about the flying part?

Ignoring all that, ready-made missions for people of varying skill levels would be nice, and I think the community accommodates at least to some degree.

On the other hand, IMHO and only IMHO, if we just look at say the A-10C, the usual mission set-up is the good-old CAS wheel ... I'm not suggesting forcing the A-10C into roles that it shouldn't be pressed into, but it can do some really interesting things like C-130 assault escort for example (interestingly, the A-10C appears to be uniquely suited to this role).

Didn't follow the reddit discussion during announcement event all that closely, 'cause I'm not going to buy the plane (was looking for any clues about Corsair and Iwo Jima, 'cause these are LN products I'm strictly after), but I seem to recall a question about a new theater being developed for Viggen and the answer was along the lines of "not yet", with first campaigns being made for current maps only (as mentioned in the announcement post anyway). So if there's some northern map, it won't come anytime soon.

They made Viggen variants that would do ground or air work, you can tell by the designation.

The AJ-37 was the initial strike type, designed to carry antiship missiles, bombs, rockets, guns, and short range missiles. At that time, the Draken was still the interceptor in service.

The JA-37 came after and was the F-16A ADF type. It replaced the Drakens. Carried Skyflash, the Sparrow analogue.

The AJS is an AJ upgraded in the mid 90s. Not really sure what it offered over the earlier AJ other than expanded weapons options and probably avionics and software.
