Excessive Speed and Bugged Stores

[Kazius]

Ok, was going to test some CCIP drops of cluster bombs but picked the wrong F-18 I placed into the mission and took the one with the BDU-33's. I went and spam dropped the smoke bombs and was going to go land.

 

I noticed one of the stores sorta hung. I eventually managed to get the last bomb to drop but it still showed 5 on the rack although it was empty now. Watching the mission will show the hung store and how I managed to make it drop the last BDU.

 

I then kicked in afterburners and went to turn towards Nellis. However, when I disengaged the afterburners I noticed the speed wasn't really bleeding off. I then took the plane for a joy ride and got up to Mach 1.8 and then went into a 7G turn and the speed wasn't bleeding off very fast. I leveled off and was at around Mach 1.3 without afterburners on for quite awhile.

 

Sorry to the people of Las Vegas for breaking all your windows, but I had a fun ride and that is all that counts :)

 

Edit: Added track but had to split into two files.

ok, so today I was testing out the new Mk-82Y's and after dropping them I headed to practice landing as I haven't flown the F-18 for a bit due to radar bugs. On route I turned the afterburners off so I wouldn't accidentally go into burner and then just put my throttle to max. I increased speed all the way up to mach 1.04 at only 5000 feet altitude. As far as I know the F-18C wasn't capable of super cruise. So again, there seems to be something wrong with the flight model.

 

Sorry, I forgot to save the track this time.

Depending on payload, fuel state and atmospheric pressure, if you're going at or around mil power, it doesn't seem unlikely that you could reach Mach 1. The Hornet's TWR is above 1 with empty stores and a half tank.
