Guest Guest Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 I bought the Hornet today in early access. Is it possible to get the documentation for the DCS Hornet before it is released? I'd like to be able to read up on the manual so I'm somewhat prepared to fly it when it is released.

TaoGaming Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 (edited) +1 Would be awesome to have some Manual to get to know the Systems to kill the time till it releases. Maybe something WiP like with the Harrier? Edit: Thx Wags. Didn't see your Post there. gg Edited January 12, 2018 by TaoGaming
flyingscotsman Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 Thanks to WAGS and the team for this wonderful addition, sadly the threads I would have liked to have commented have been closed, but I'm really pleased with whatever comes, couldn't draw a bolt on a PC myself, so in awe of your teams efforts. THANK YOU. The link below can get you a real manual to your dropbox, I'm sure our aircraft will not 110% out of the box, but it'll be more than a couple of years before this old guy masters it. This just gives you a flavour of what the aircraft does, and we have to be happy with what ours does. https://publicintelligence.net/u-s-navy-f-18-natops-flight-manuals/
bolek Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 Does anybody know where to find the NATOPS NFM-500 Pocket Manual for the F18C on the internet? I downloaded the "big" manual on the link above called NFM-000 but I would like to have the pocket version as well for checklists but I cant find it.

Guest Guest Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 Honestly I just want a manual that teaches me to fly the hornet as it is in game. The NATOPS manual is all a bunch of real pilot stuff that's way over my head and honestly I don't know how much of it will actually be applicable to the DCS Hornet. I'm sure you can break every one of the rules in the flight characteristics section in game and be just fine and if you aren't then just spawn again and learn from your mistake.
Pelmo Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 At a later time, will manuals in other languages be released? If yes, which ones? Thank you.

AMEDooley Posted January 13, 2018 Posted January 13, 2018 I noticed that to, it is not like the NFM 500 for the AV8B. Hornet pilots must have a pocket guide for normal and emergency procedures in the cockpit right? Can that document have a different name than NFM 500? Skickat från min D5503 via Tapatalk I was a low power turn licensed maintainer on Hornets, the NFM-500 is the start up, flight, and emergency checklists.. That document is no where near complete. I had to use that checklist every time I did a LPT. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
AMEDooley Posted January 14, 2018 Posted January 14, 2018 I guess it should look more like this: https://thumbs.worthpoint.com/zoom/images1/1/0810/25/18-hornet-natops-flight-manual-pilot_1_2239645cd73ce73349d12ef5a7b2840e.jpg I cant find a pdf of it though, would really like to have it. Skickat från min D5503 via Tapatalk That’s closer to what I used, ours was up to date so it would have been circa 2008. I think the problem might be if it was 18AC or 18AE. I can’t rmember for the life of me which one it was [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
brettmccl Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 I would like to get the keybinds early so I can map my x52 also...please
