  1. I'm getting TONS of crashes. All drivers and W10 are up to date.
  2. Same problem for me since the update.
  3. Yes, even after running the "slow" repair option.
  4. Mover flew, I believe, the A+... not a C and certainly not at Lot 20 C.
  5. Here are some more reasons why I'll take the Legacy over the Super any day... in the words of Capt. Eric Doyle of the Blues: (https://aerobaticteams.net/en/news/i326/Is-the-Super-Hornet-better-for-the-Blue-Angels-than-Legacy-Hornet.html) Here are some words from Capt. Doyle about difference between the two Hornets: “The aileron roll of Super Hornet will be a little bit slower, maybe a bit more sluggish.” “The flight computer may require some work-arounds. In the pirouette maneuver done by Blue Angel solos with the current [Legacy] Hornet (which has its own FCS), the pilot points the nose skyward, kicks full rudder and the airplane yaws/rolls around itself. But the stock Rhino’s flight control software won’t let a pilot do that. So we had to build in a little ‘notch’ into the flight control computers to allow us to do a pirouette.” Sure seems like the Super took all the fun out of the Hornet.
  6. That's more like it.
  7. ... by "direct SME feedback," you mean all your friends that flew the LOT 20 Hornet that you've had in-depth conversations with and then sat down and compared detailed notes about how our DCS Hornet performs at sea-level clean, with/without pylons and stores, at performance-chart fuel capacities, at all temperatures, in full mil and max A/B, confirmed that the DCS Hornet top speeds are not being effected by realistic/unrealistic pylon and weapons drag, simulated fuel weights, etc. etc. right? My guess is that, between the Lot 20 SME's that ED has spent the last 3+ years consulting with, and the 404 performance data that they DO have access to, that they know what they're doing. "My SME's are better than your SME's..." I digress. I'm still holding firmly to the fact that ED is going to get us as close to real as possible. A real Hornet driver like Mover who says "Man, this Hornet feels draggy" on his first few DCS flights on YouTube does not equal detailed SME analysis anymore than a real Hornet driver who says, "Man, this Hornet feels too fast" does. And you've admitted that neither you nor anyone else commenting here is looking at real documentation on the matter.
  8. According to what source and testing? Seriously, dude... baseless, data-less, one-liner, throwaway comments like this cause so much "yeah, but..." nonsense on these forums. If you want to post a whole bunch of performance charts for the 404s and then accurate test-results from DCS with detailed and thorough experimentation at all altitudes and temperatures, etc. etc....be our guest.
  9. You're "pretty sure it is not abandoned?" Good Lord... folks around here seriously underestimate ED. When they are complete, the DCS Viper and Hornet will be THE definitive civilian simulation treatments of these two airframes... period. They will both be as close to reality as unclassified pixels can get. They are already magnificent (with the Hornet naturally having more time in the oven as it came first), but this kind of niche' perfectionism that they're pursuing takes A LOT of time and care...
  10. Hey, ED Team... Just a friendly reminder that: You're Awesome!
  11. Getting our Hornets and Vipers closer to real world performance would not be "nerfing." I for one as a DCS Viper and Hornet owner am looking forward to both jets being as realistic as possible. But no carrier ops for the Viper makes me turn to the Hornet again and again...
  12. Indeed.
  13. Let's keep this on the MSI integration conversation, fellas.
  14. Jak, are you confident that this "NO RDR" indicator is associated with MSI target designation without the radar and not some software 'help' that represents the system trying to "remember" a temporarily lost radar contact until the radar finds it again? I only ask because it appears on the HUD, in the JETSTREAM clip, so quickly/briefly.
  15. I live in the United States. But posting or publishing such a document here or anywhere else in the public online space would be out of play, yes (whether in or outside of the U.S.). As far as "...tag is wrong you can remove it" what are you talking about?
  16. I found that $18 usd document too... but didn't pull the trigger. I'm confident that ED is looking in the right places for as much Lot 20 data as possible... just interested in the information that is being brought forth here by Jak and others.
  17. Bluh... no. Fat, draggy, disproportioned, slower, and all around disappointing compared to the Legacy. I'll take less fuel and more of a chance of departure over the ugly Super any day!
  18. And have been blowing for years now in DCS.
  19. Nice! I had no idea.
  20. Hmmm... since when does HMD LHACQ mode reach out to 40nm? I thought it was HACQ = 5 nm and LHACQ = 10 nm.
  21. Any more word on the Double-TD box/non-blanking HMD symbology?
  22. Great post. Agreed.
