I will try then. The other book you mention, F-15 Eagle Engaged, it's also written by Steve Davies. I'm surprised that his F/A-18 book doesn't match up his other F-15 books.

Like DACO series, they are a valuable source for modelers, with lots of pictures. Unfortunately, little text goes along with these books and only scarce info can be found on aircraft development, systems etc

That's wrong, the fact that PAF has US missiles in its inventory doesn't mean they have the permission to integrate them in a indigenous development

But "Hornet: The inside story of the F/A-18" is more like a reading book, am I right? The "Owner workshop manual" is the proper book style, but unfortunately it looks quite shallow. It's funny that you can find really deep monographs on the TSR2, but it's almost impossible to find quality tech books on regular aircraft like the Hornet or the Viper :(

79$ for an unfinished module and a lot of promises is already pricey and way out of the sweet point. Sell it at 40$ and they will get 10x more orders, do the math, it works out...

Heatblur please :cry::cry: Don't let us down

ED should unleash the scenary tools to the community

Do you have it? Does it have extensive information about the legacy hornets? It looks more focused on the super. I'm looking for the definitive hornet Bible

And that's OK except for the fact that those guys that should be dealing with more complicated systems apparently are working on the Viper right now. That's the appreciation that we have from outside

Hi! I enjoyed a lot the F-15E book written by Steve Davies and I wonder if there is good F-18 technical books out there, with info on the development, different versions, avionics and a little bit on the operation of this monster. Legacy Hornet only Thanks!

With the Hornet and the Viper they have too much on the plate. Maybe when they reach a more complete state of development they will have a look at it

Yeah, we complain a lot because we want this module to become the absolute reference in modern military aviation simulation and still is not there, but it's very enjoyable and hopefully development will speed up when the F-16 catches up in features

Yeah agree, it doesn't look like correct PR honestly

3D model? I can't care less. It's extremely good as it is, and 99.9% virtual pilots think the same. Bring the weapons and a/c systems on!

We're waiting patiently to the next mini update - one month since the last one... :-S

I think you are mixing up IFF and NCTR - in the cases 1) and 2) at least. In the current implementation it's necessary to press SCS for run an IFF interrogation on the current L&S

They're still tuning up Tomcat FM, my guess is that when this task is finished they will drop an eye on this

An AH64D Apache would be awesome

Hey kaoqumba, do you know if the JF-17 will come with a English reference manual since day 1?

Is this the bizarrest module launch in DCS history? Id love to test the aircraft on the first, though

Like, ©willhoff photography for example :D

ED doesn't need to clarify anything, it's clearly stated in the Hornet FAQ.

Not the version modelled. The ERDL model includes a datalink and is capable of downfeeding video to the hornet enabling the pilot to manually select the final Target with pin point accuracy

Cool videos don't hurt and help a lot to promote. There are plenty of great cinematic video makers in this forum that wouldn't mind to get an early access to the JF-17 in exchange.

According to the book 'hornets over Kuwait', it seemed a pretty regular mission during Desert Storm
