SH break is ONLY done during case I. Case I is set based on WX and refers to the pattern used for both launching and recovering aircraft. Technically the SH break uses the exact same pattern just breaks earlier and some slightly modified alritudes to actually make it work. Try breaking behind the ship to be able to slow down. Also rememeber you would be hitting other landing aircraft if you enter the break as low as you did..

At higher air speeds rudder inputs are greatly restricted. Just a guess but try it at a slower speed? Not sure that a true knife edge is possible to maintain but maybe if you take out some Angle of bank.. the flight model is good but hopefully still in works. Nose authority seems too restricted in the sim as you should be able to hit much higher AOA by pulling straight back on the stick at slower air speeds.

F-5E, F-16A, FA-18A+, FA-18B, FA-18C, FA-18D, F-35C all still flying in the US Navy in some capacity.

“Red and free.”

Not really. Admin callsigns may use the side number but tactical callsigns should still be Hobo 11, Hobo 12, for example. Although that may have been the case at some point in the past..

First fix flight suit patches to navy! Then fix flag direction on left shoulder. Then add helmet options for blue angels haha. And if we are doing blue angel stuff.. slight cockpit additions are in order too but man we are too picky. Sorry

I’m sure this is an early access ism but the AIM-9 tone is off. Whine sound is not correct at least in a hornet. Also the volume should be much much louder when the knob is tuned full up. My 2 cents

Cool thanks.. can I do that for aim9 tone as well? Should be MUCH louder.. “screaming tone” when turned all the way up

Sound of gun also seems off. I don’t know if it is a straight copy of f-15 gun sounds for early access but the sound of gun firing is not accurate for the f18. Also normally less tracers.

I had the same issue but turned out it was static from the other radio.. try turning that one down if that’s the issue.

Careful wags, Super Hornet is the best navy fighter we have.. an FA-18F is the most capable fighter in the navy’s inventory not to mention the best looking! Rhino is super indeed next to legacy with no fuel, bombs, ECS, and AESA! ..love the new module though btw. Awesome work.

With a radar lock we should get a BATR cue when shooting the gun out of director mode I think? Maybe not.. I aslo believe that pressing Cage/uncage with a radar lock should bring back the funnel in train mode. Does not appear to be implemented but maybe I’m way off

Volume of high alpha wind/buffet should be increased slightly. Should be much louder than the engine noise from inside.

The pilot’s shoulder flag is backwards on the left shoulder. Should be flowing “with the wind.” Also he is wearing Air Force patches. Would be nice if the G-Suit was a little higher fidelity as the cockpit looks so well made but the Gsuit texture resolution appears worse. Great stuff so far!

Is this still being worked? Sounds a lot like the warthog. Also tracers appear too visible/numerous obviously dependent on the gun load. Love the work. Nitpicking here for perfection.

I also cracked up.. that was a funny bug haha

It is not functioning yet but you should also be able to turn the contrast down on the MPCD which will essentially dim or blank the map and leave the symbology. I’m assuming this is still being worked on

Radar drops lock very easily for me.. too easily considering the target is still in scan of radar during some maneuvering

I am also impressed with their work! The high alpha sounds are spot on too! I felt that the controls were a little too sensitive, I will probably need to adjust that ima bit. Aerial refueling was almost impossible. For me at least.

Warthog Profile Default Does the FA-18C have a default warthog profile like the A-10C and F-5E did? I loved the plug and play nature of those modules as the programming was already done for the profiles.. also I only know how to assign joystick buttons to functions but don’t know how to do complex stuff like speed brake button holding it down makes it go further and not just toggle..

New guy question.. how do you manually check for updates? Besides waiting for a phone call From Wags of course..

Lack of elevation wheel and high fidelity TDC will be huge in the hornet if using WH throttle. While I get the cosmetic of creating a new stick will attract more people, the function of the f18 and a10 stick are extremely similar. The throttle however is very different. There are more Hotas functions on the f18 stick I believe not less.. they really should do both! Most people in this sim probably dont like to do half and half and would rather spend for the full setup..

This is funny.. poor habits and poor discipline for what? Most people want the sim to accurately reflect real life flying in combat conditions and I can tell you it does not in its current state. 1 to 1 scale may work out mathematically but at least when pertaining to BFM, scaling helped make the sight picture more accurate. Obviously it caused issues but having an option would be nice. Other sims handle this differently and there are pros and cons I’m sure, but for WVR combat, scaling is a must for realistic flying until trchnology improves. Btw I don’t know if it was my imagination but this latest update seems to have improved scale somehow? Anybody notice that. DCS is great and the level of detail is appreciated, but this is a major issue to anybody who wants realistic depiction of bfm. This is the main reason why people still play Falcon BMS. Dogfighting feels more realistic despite all the incredible graphics of DCS. Sorry for the rant but people must understand that there are lots of folks who do not use DCS for this reason alone.

Not sure if it’s my imagination but it seems to me that after this new download the scaling appears more realistic? Aircraft appear closer to the correct size as in real life similar to when we had the old scaling option... could this be related to the SSAA setting? Side note.. should I not have MSAA on if I have SSAA ON? Or is that even better...
