fogster Posted August 29, 2018 Posted August 29, 2018 In this video about RIAT 2018 it states that the Swiss and Finnish hornets have upgraded flight performance software that allows the pilots to push the limits more in terms of alpha. Which version of software do we have in DCS on the lot 20? Does anyone know if Canada also have this upgrade?
IvanK Posted August 29, 2018 Posted August 29, 2018 All current FA18A-C have the revised Flight control software/firmware that incorporates Pirouette logic. Current FM in DCS to incorporate pirouette logic fully is still under development.

Guest Guest Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 (edited) As far as my opinion on the Hornet flight model, I think it was best in August-September of '18. The jet feels weaker now. Not as responsive at slow speeds. I feel like I had something good given to me and then it was taken away. It will be nice when the Hornet is complete so it will be at the very least consistent. It is honestly the worst when you have seemingly arbitrary increases and decreases in your capability so one day you're a world beater and the next you're middle of the pack. I've flown the Hornet frequently since the day it was released into early access in June of 18. I have 679 kills and 127 deaths "flying" the Hornet in high aspect guns BFM in DCS multiplayer since I started keeping track in July. Trust me when I say the jet feels different.

Svend_Dellepude Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 Seems that you loose airspeed faster now than when it was released. Dunno if that is just placebo though. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Win10 64, Asus Maximus VIII Formula, i5 6600K, Geforce 980 GTX Ti, 32 GB Ram, Samsung EVO SSD.

There was a point early on when Flaps - Full would add too much drag without the corresponding amount of lift. Then ED fixed that, and the flight model felt fine for the most part. Then they changed it again, and it seems draggier than it should be, in the sense that you have to go nearly to MIL power in the pattern every now and then to keep from developing a dangerous descent rate. It's nothing for which you can't learn to compensate with some anticipation, but IIRC the real F/A-18 pilots around here seem to agree the real jet is not that draggy.
