That's good to hear! Thank you for the link. :)

I don't know why they don't model it already. Because in-game RB-74 (Swedish name for AIM-9L) on Viggen has the same amount of rocket-smoke as AIM-9M, which should not be the case.

One of the best DCS scripts. Glad it still works in 2.5!

Agreed.

We will really need some Iranian navy ships in DCS if we're gonna have this map. AND ground based anti-ship assets.

Wow, good looking ships! Hope we get to see them soon! :)

Wohoo! More maps! 2.5! :pilotfly: YAAAAAAAAAY

I know AIM-9L is more smoky IRL, but I'd like to know if this will be accurately represented in DCS. Some official info would be appreicated.

Will AIM-9L have increased rocket motor smoke compared to AIM-9M?

They're making a mid 2000's Hornet, so let's hope for the best! :pilotfly:

US Navy F/A-18s received BRU-55 racks in mid 2000's. So DCS Hornet should be able to hold up to 8 JDAM's in theory.

I would also like to know this. Can it even carry GBU-12 on center-line?

I wasn't planning on buying the Tomcat because I thought it wouldn't have LANTIRN. Now I will be your No.1 customer. :)

Is it possible to hide the control stick in DCS? Will it be possible to do this in F/A-18?

It's possible to use AIM-9X on F-15C now if you know how to use copy & paste. You just don't get the fancy JHMCS.

"F/A-18C Hornet will be released into Early Access by the end of March 2018" https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2018/01/12/the-flare-path-hows-it-going-2/

80$ is the right price. F/A-18C is a modern, naval, multirole that is more versatile than all of current DCS modules combined. If you don't see the value of this module, I'd recommend reading a bit about the capabilities of the Hornet. Hint: It's like F-16C, but better. :) We're also getting a free basic carrier, what more could you want? The value and replayability of this module is insane compared to other modules. And I'm not shilling or anything. I haven't bought a DCS module since 2015 because I was disillusioned by constant delays and odd module choices, but I can recognize a good deal when I see one. And DCS F/A-18C is an amazing deal. Even more so during pre-purchase.

Where are you guys seeing this?

Thanks, 240 in total seemed a bit much. :)

In one of Wags's videos, Hornet was carrying 118 flares and 120 chaff. (8:56 mark) Is that just WIP or can Hornet really carry that much CM?

What happened to the Viggen's map? Cancelled?

One of the pilots who was involved in this was David Fravor. If you ever watched PBS Carrier documentary he was the commanding officer of Strike Fighter Squadron 41 (VFA-41). A very no-nonsense guy...

Use dynamic weather and you can sync them now.

Now this is something I'd buy in a heartbeat!

Resorting to name calling, huh? Pathetic. Shows how thought out your argument is. If there is no contractual obligations for countinued support, then whole DCS 3rd party system is doomed.
