VAF [136] Striker Posted May 31, 2018 Posted May 31, 2018 (edited) First impression is that the Hornet is amazing. Just one request. Please get it out to the stable version ASAP. Really happy at this time though. I've already done a few land takeoffs and some carrier landings and just did some general flying around in the Caucasus map. Thanks for all your hard work on getting this early release out to us!

kotor633 Posted May 31, 2018 Posted May 31, 2018 I totally agree. Yesterday I only tested this module for about 3 hours, but the first impression is terrific. Even with the early acces manual you can really start something. I hope in progress that EA / Belsimtek now deliver improvements quickly. Great work! ************************************** DCS World needs the Panavia Tornado! Really! **************************************
NeilWillis Posted May 31, 2018 Posted May 31, 2018 Yes, great addition to the fleet. Thanks ED for a very well put together module.
vctpil Posted May 31, 2018 Posted May 31, 2018 Hi, Probably the best aircraft for sim : - AA capabilities - AG capabilities - Air refuelling - Naval ops The level of realism is so amazing that we are going to fly this aircraft for years! ED should focuse on ops theatres if they still want to make money !:lol: Cheers IAMD Ryzen 9 5900X 12x 3.7 to 4.8Ghz - 32Go DDR4 3600Mhz - GeForce RTX 3080 - Samsung Odyssey G7 QLED - AIMXY
Weasel Posted May 31, 2018 Posted May 31, 2018 Yesterday I flew one hour with the hornet and it‘s awesome, really love the DCS Hornet. However I need a lot of practice to handle this fantastic airplane. I tried to land on a carrier, no chance. I got too slow and crashed to the sea like a stone falling from the sky. During the next days, I will fly much more and start with some basic maneuvers :thumbup:
rrohde Posted May 31, 2018 Posted May 31, 2018 I missed the wires two times (was able to do missed approaches and lived to tell about it), and trapped on the third try. Love this bird. And, this is the most time I've spent with a new module in ages on the first day, as everything just feels right, looks stunning, and blows my mind in VR. So yes, early release or not, totally awesome! :thumbup: PC: AMD Ryzen 9 5950X | MSI Suprim GeForce 3090 TI | ASUS Prime X570-P | 128GB DDR4 3600 RAM | 2TB Samsung 870 EVO SSD | Win10 Pro 64bit Gear: HP Reverb G2 | JetPad FSE | VKB Gunfighter Pro Mk.III w/ MCG Ultimate VKBcontrollers.com
Knock-Knock Posted May 31, 2018 Posted May 31, 2018 It truly is amazing, and I'll quickly just praise something not visible, but audible. Man the sound package is fantastic in the Hornet.

Incredibly immersive and informative :thumbup:. Fully agree on the sound, it is incredible and really adds to the immersion. Man that fly by sound as it goes past and then on out is amazing.

Nealius Posted May 31, 2018 Posted May 31, 2018 I haven't even turned on the engines and am already impressed. Took a look around the cockpit and giggled like a little kid opening and closing the canopy.
crab Posted May 31, 2018 Posted May 31, 2018 I'm traveling; possibly making me the only person to try trapping with just a keyboard and mouse. Ended in what the airlines call an unscheduled water landing. :)

Hawkeye60 Posted May 31, 2018 Posted May 31, 2018 Wanted to add my praise here. I have anticipated this aircraft since.......Janes! That is where I fell in love with this aircraft. To have Matt at the helm of this project and see it myself, In VR, I am grinning ear to ear! So much so, I might break my face! :megalol::D A HUGE Thank you to Matt and the whole team! OUTSTANDING! Living my Flight Sim dream! "Yeah, and though I work in the valley of Death, I will fear no Evil. For where there is one, there is always three. I preparest my aircraft to receive the Iron that will be delivered in the presence of my enemies. Thy ALCM and JDAM they comfort me. Power was given unto the aircrew to make peace upon the world by way of the sword. And when the call went out, Behold the "Sword of Stealth". And his name was Death. And Hell followed him. For the day of wrath has come and no mercy shall be given."

wizav Posted May 31, 2018 Posted May 31, 2018 A10C quality potential. It looks and flies amazingly well atm! Love American Avionics! Hope ED will later add all features, this is really the best plane for DCS. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
mr_mojo97 Posted May 31, 2018 Posted May 31, 2018 I love my little Mirage and was really loving my Harrier. But now Hornet is here I don't want to unlove the other two because of it.

WildBillKelsoe Posted May 31, 2018 Posted May 31, 2018 I couldnt agree more. Its like going back to 2011 and buying a faster A-10C. Thanks ED and BST. AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower. Open triangle is AWACS, closed triangle is your own sensors. Double dash is friendly, Single dash is enemy. Circle is friendly. Strobe is jammer. Strobe to dash is under 35 km. HDD is 7 times range key. Radar to 160 km, IRST to 10 km. Stay low, but never slow.
