I am former Swiss Airforce Radar officer and I have flown the F18 sim, the "old" one in Payerne. I am pretty sure that the new 4 sims which have interlink with NATO are different beast.
Apart from this I would not claim that I could operate the PSR and FCR today any longer. Still I got more than 300 days experience on it. These are countless house.
Don't blame a former pilot, not remembering every single detail after 18 years plus being out of business.
Honestly, he deserve some appreciation for being in these forums making the DCS Hornet better, more realistic overtime. Don't scare them pilots off by doubting and questioning every word they say.
Thanks you!
