IIRC F18 has no TFR

I was surprised to find out that engaging ralt in autopilot in one of red flag mission got me flying a close to NOE flight.

The Hornet would fly maintaining terrain height but I could not get it to fly below 1200ft even after setting soft altitude to 1000ft.

Just try ralt in autopilot and see if it is up to what you expect.

Sure, but that is not TFR which would look ahead to adjust altitude based on approaching terrain, not just what is directly below.

Thanks Wags for clarifying.

Are we getting the TFR along the line in dcs FA-18C?

I just know remember how it works in the F-16

No, that would not be realistic for the Hornet. You'll have to wait for the Mud Hen for that.

 

The Hornet has a Terrain Avoidance (TA) mode, but that is very different that TFR.

Thanks Wags! The german Wiki-page is showing wrong information. In NATOPS I did not found anything about.

 

How does the TA work. Whats the explicit difference between TA and TFR?

This is a thread that is teasing a TFR

It good to know this. By Mud Hen, I suppose you mean the F-15E Strike eagle?

TA just gives you ground collision warnings based on radar altitude below your aircraft andyour dive angle. A real TFR is a radar that points ahead to detect obstacles in front of you and can give you steering cues on how to get over them. In many aircraft the TFR is also coupled with the autopilot and can be used in different modes (soft, medium, hard) that will determine how hard the aircraft will maneuver to avoid obstacles. TFRs are usally found on strike aircraft, especially those that were made for all weather low level flying like the Tornado or the F-111.

F-15E Strike Eagle seems to be the only reference I could find for combat aircraft.

I hope ED or one of the 3rd parties are working the F/B-111 as well for this. ;)

That means our F-16 will not have a TFR?

Uhummmm. I see the logic. But if the F-15E eagle was in serious work, it should have been mentioned in the 2019 road map weekend new.

Some models if not all of F-16 I fly in another sim has the TFR implemented.

 

That is because it is wrongly implemented there. Same with many cockpit details, flight control behaviors etc.

To whom it may concern,

I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that.

Thank you for you patience.

 

 

Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true..

We've so long waited up to now, dear Wags. And ED & RB got us into this deep despair!
