Greekbull Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 A squad mate of mine stumbled onto this...looks amazing and looks to be official when you look at all the detail with the elevators, lights etc... Anyone else seen this? Looks like these are human controlled F-18s as well...

BlackLion213 Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Whoa... That looks to me like EDGE and that is a beautiful model. I suppose a user mod could look that good, but someone invested some serious effort into this. It's hosted by "Yura Brat" (also interesting :music_whistling:) who has no other videos hosted. The original source is here: https://yadi.sk/d/cqItkJgGizxnQ Don't know if that means anything to anyone here? In any case, that has me seriously salivating for the Tomcat and Hornet, simply looks fantastic. The ocean environment for EDGE is really compelling, carrier ops will be seriously awesome when its ready. :thumbup: Thanks for sharing. -Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapnGimp Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Carriers are a thing of beauty...he's did a great job with this! Looks kinda neKKid though, no flight deck crew and no aircraft crowded in. I say that with good intent, I served aboard the Nimitz CVN-68 while I was in the navy in the early 80's...absolutely love the Tomcats, they ran the show back then. Just getting back into simming after a few years off. We did the Russian carrier ops in our maps in FC1, it was fun just playing around with it.

The railing coming up with the elevator...working defense systems and blast deflectors etc. Heck even the lighting of the carrier of at night. Also the F-18s had working lights too. Anyway wonder if this is an ED work in progress because it seems like way to much work for someone just doing this on their own.

Stratos Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 The model is really beuatiful, and the lightning is gorgeous. Hope before release we can see some 3d deck crew, it will add a lot to the immersion factor. I don't understand anything in russian except Davai Davai!

splashman Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Awesome, just awesome, i guess when DCS F18 is available i'll do just carrier traps for a loooong time. Learning new stuff in DCS is more than half the fun for me. Btw, i don't think those F18 are player controlled, the moves are too smooth and look too similar. i7 2600K - 8GB - Win7/64 - Radeon R9 280 / 3GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeilWillis Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Exemplary work. I would very happily pay good money for that! One thing I think they need to add however is the way the aircraft on the catapult hunkers down as the catapult moves. I sincerely hope this is a WIP from ED, but the lack of logos on the video suggests it is a private venture to me. Definitely something I'd love to have!

toni Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 So...... can we start thinking this will be part of the ED Carrier Ops DLC ? Or it will be a brand new CVN in parallel ? We need some info about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And in that clip with the CVN 74. In the night sky I could clearly recognize the star constellations: Hydra, Centaurus and Apus. That means it must be in the Perzian Gulf.

Gloom Demon Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Can someone please explain to me - what is the sense of lowering those leading edge control surfaces (slats?) on the F-18 during takeoff? I mean - lowering the flaps makes sense to me - that creates a low pressure area above the wing and a high pressure area below it, so the aircraft is pushed up, however doing the same thing at the front of wing accomplishes exactly the opposite. A low pressure area below the wing should be pulling the aircraft down, which is not what you want during takeoff right? Or is my thinking wrong somewhere?

A low pressure area below the wing should be pulling the aircraft down, which is not what you want during takeoff right? Or is my thinking wrong somewhere? I used to be in the Navy and worked on the F/A-18A,B,C and D hornets as an "AE" Aircraft Electrician. The Leading edge flaps in crease the wing area by causing the air going over the top of the wing to travel farther than the air going under the wing. Imagine 2 air molicules stricking the leading edge at the same time one goes over the wing the other under. Thy will both reach the trailing edge of the wing at the same time. So in theory there will be more air under the wing and less above causing lift. The more you can increase the travel distance of the one going over the top the move lift you will produce. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilWillis Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Slats simply increase camber in the wing profile, making the upper surface airflow have to travel further, and therefore increases airflow speed over the upper surface, and that reduces pressure, increasing low speed lift.
