VDV Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 I've found a nice cockpit video of RCAF CF-18. I noticed some differences between DCS: FA-18Cs cockpit and CF-18s cockpit. Maybe RCAFs Hornets are A model?
Jeepyb Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 Maybe RCAFs Hornets are A model? Yes they are. But received lots of upgrades over the years. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Callsign: BUNZ https://www.5vwing.com/
Kev2go Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 Yes they are. But received lots of upgrades over the years. Avionics wise their more advanced that they have a 3 colour capable displays . Although older analog fuel display/ engine gauges remain. Cf18s are reflective of the usmc fa18a ++ except that canadians use the sniper tgp Which means that part from aforementioned features that are otherwise on par with code f18c sensors and weapons integration such as aim9x and jhmcs n have link16 capability and the an/apg73 phase 2 radar Build: Windows 10 64 bit Pro Case/Tower: Corsair Graphite 760tm ,Asus Strix Z790 Motherboard, Intel Core i7 12700k ,Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 64gb ram (3600 mhz) , (Asus strix oc edition) Nvidia RTX 3080 12gb , Evga g2 850 watt psu, Hardrives ; Samsung 970 EVo, , Samsung evo 860 pro 1 TB SSD, Samsung evo 850 pro 1TB SSD, WD 1TB HDD
Switch625 Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 Its my understanding that the CF-18s also have a different suite of radios, including the addition of an ILS. Can anyone confirm this? There's also the often mentioned spot light on the side Any other minor differences that anyone knows of?

There's also the often mentioned spot light on the side Any other minor differences that anyone knows of? Can't comment on radios, but it has ILS and GPS approaches, it has a spotlight on the gun door (left side aft of the radome) It has upgraded GPS better than the c models. You can change the pattern of the strobe lights as well. The launch bar is electrically and hydraulically disconnected but it remains on because when it was removed it caused a bad nose wheel shimmying problem. Also doesn't have the c models 4 buckets of countermeasures just 2.
