+1 please ED...

I understand that it’s still a work in progress but Talking about FCS... A review Posted by a real F/a-18 hornet pilot @FightsOn 3 years ago... mentioned some issues still present . « 1. After the first engine starts, and the generator comes online the TEF’s are completely X’d out. Normally the TEF’s are not completely X’d out in the real jet, as they are extremely redundant. Most the time it’s a LEF, Rudder, Aileron or combination thereof that are X’d out. In addition, the control surfaces that are X’d out across all available channels still respond to stick input. That’s only accurate for the horizontal stabs, which have a mechanical backup. All other surfaces should be unresponsive if totally X’d out. In the case of the ailerons, if one is X’d completely, and the other is not, the X’d aileron will remain in it’s pre-start position (down) and the good aileron will fair to an AUTO position (0 degrees). This is why often you get asymmetric ailerons during startup in the Hornet and Super Hornet. Once the pilot does an FCS Reset, both ailerons will snap to AUTO and then deploy symmetrically to match flap switch position. 2. The ailerons should lag behind the flaps during both extension and retraction. They move roughly half the speed of the TEF’s. Currently they deploy at the same speed as the TEF’s which is inaccurate. In addition, rudder toe-in occurs too quickly. It should be a smoother, slower movement. 3. During control wipeout, the flaps in AUTO should operate differentially to assist the ailerons in rolling the aircraft. 4. Real world the FCS IBIT takes 42 seconds. Currently 15 seconds is modeled. The surface movements that aremodelled are accurate, but there is generally more timebetween movements of individual surfaces, and there is more testing of the stabs and ailerons. 5. FCS Exerciser is currently modelled identically to the FCS IBIT. They are different though. The exerciser should run through flight controls through 20% of their range of motion for 10 cycles in 20 seconds, then stop. 6. FCS IBIT currently will run with NWS engaged. In the real jet, if NWS is on, and an IBIT is initiated the display will flash RESTRT and will not run the BIT. Disengaging NWS will fix the issue. Post FCS IBIT there are A LOT of BLINS. Real jet typically has none. 7. The stabs move to 12 degrees too quickly when TO Trim is pressed. Against, slower and smoother. 8. Up aileron travel is incorrectly reduced when the flaps are set to HALF or FULL. The ailerons retain their full range of motion even when the flaps are extended and the ailerons droop to match. »

+++1 and i’m also wondering why it’s in the wishlist ! It’s an actual feature !

+1 . It’s weird all these features are still missing and in the original post it’s marked as feature complete!

here you go https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3302800/

Same for me ! coming back from a mission and switching to Carrier’s Tacan . I usually notice that the numbers are frozen and to troubleshoot it i need to power it off and get it back on.

Once we get Pre-briefed mode for the HARM . You will get « IN Range » hud indication

+1 well said

Yes. But not available yet on DCS

Both screens are from f/a-18 Charlie . VFA 83

+1 missing laser arm status too and HMD LOS In the Hud https://forums.eagle.ru/forum/englis...-still-missing

Hi, First of all, I Wanna thank ED for these last updates. While watching Wags Last video HMD AG MODE. I realized that the HMD LOS is still missing in the HUD. Natops FA18 ABCD states that " When the HMD is in normal mode a cross is displayed on the HUD at the reported HMD LOS. If the reported HMD LOS is outside the HUD FOV, the cross flashes at the HUD FOV limit." (SEE I-2-199) Thanks. SCREENS:

Isn't that a bit contradictory? to Tag it as (NOT CORRECT FOR YEAR) A year ago, Wags mentioned that they don't have any data about the GBU-54 but he didn't mention that this is unrealistic. but as we see Right now They have DATA :) so why not now?!. Please ED make it happen! Thanks screen:

Hi, As indicated in the title the APKWS rockets have no texture (greenish missing textures instead) Thanks

Compass Too

Haha nice the spanish one with coordinates and compass . Good find! Even the Cross is not the same .

WOW what about that ED !? SA-10 can be based on a launch video. But the litening no ...

Good find. this video really lets me guess if our f/a-18 is really a USN / USMC lot 20 hornet (around 2005) ... and lets me also wonder if we’ll get someday the CAS page etc... Well said

just to be sure : VMFA-242 OPS over FALLUJAH in 2004 (our hornet is around 2005), you can sweep the video to see the external ladoaut. they were carrying Litening! ----FLIR PAGE ---- LITENING POD In this video we can see also LASER INHIBIT CUE , COMPASS, COORDINATES DISPLAY...2004

This option should exist, but why it is not yet implemented? I don't know! Many other options are still missing like compass , hud / hmd laser firing status - laser inhibit cue both in the Flir page and HUD... Let’s hope ... maybe the 3rd of june...

Not sure about that! But maybe while using the A-10C DCS TGP code , things got mixed up! It happens sometimes. long time ago the f18 radar had some f-16 symbology but they fixed it later

HI, First i want to thank ED for this great work. Keep it Up guys. while trying the new Flir features. i saw that Attitude Indicator/AoA indicator/ASL/Steering Cue looks like the ones on the a-10C DCS TGP PAGE. In real Life i don't think it's the right symbology . ( it's like the one on the radar page) Thanks. ----------- new REF VMFA-242 OPS over FALLUJAH in 2004 (our hornet is around 2005), you can sweep the video to see the external ladoaut. they were carrying Litening! ----FLIR PAGE ---- LITENING POD

HI, Putting ON the FLIR. The litening HEAD rotate and we can see the lens (it's normal). but when turning it off it remains on it's position as if it is still powered. Thanks
