coops9596 Posted October 7, 2019 Posted October 7, 2019 (edited) hello everyone, sorry for the noob question. been flying the su-25 for a few months now and have got to grips with it, i want to upgrade to the F18 but would like to know if the plane is standalone or does it come with a few missions. also is the carrier a part of the download or again a separate thing all together? Cheers guys Jase Edited October 7, 2019 by coops9596
toutenglisse Posted October 7, 2019 Posted October 7, 2019 Hi, the hornet comes directly with 1 Campaign, 21 quickstart missions (if you have all maps, only caucasus is 8 missions), 76 single missions (if you have all maps, only caucasus is 29 missions), and 20 training missions. You have DCS base software so you already have the CVN-74 Stennis. Futur SuperCarrier will be a separate module.
Niggleworth Posted October 7, 2019 Posted October 7, 2019 Also, there's a huge number of user-created missions and campaigns that can be downloaded. The quality is this varies greatly, but there's a lot of good content there, though.

Harker Posted October 7, 2019 Posted October 7, 2019 The above posters said it all. I've been flying the Hornet since its release and I still have tons of content to go through. A good place to look for user-made campaigns and missions is here: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/?set_filter=Y&arrFilter_pf%5Bfiletype%5D=3&arrFilter_pf%5Bgameversion%5D=&arrFilter_pf%5Bfilelang%5D=&arrFilter_pf%5Baircraft%5D=535&arrFilter_DATE_CREATE_1_DAYS_TO_BACK=&CREATED_BY=&sort_by_order=TIMESTAMP_X_DESC&LICENCE_FREE=yes&set_filter=Filter Use the filters to look for user-made single missions, skins, mods etc. The vCVW-17 is looking for Hornet and Tomcat pilots and RIOs.

MacEwan Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 There is a bunch of stuff available for the F18 and lots to practice and learn but just understand that it is still very far from being completed and there is a lot of functionality still missing.
CBStu Posted October 12, 2019 Posted October 12, 2019 If you buy the Persian Gulf map, it has many missions for the FA18. The standard Caucuses and FA18 come w/ quite a few missions and the PG map more than doubles the count. It will be a long, long time before I can do all of them.
TheOtherSider Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 I have put like 200 hours into the hornet and still havn't seen the end of the content you can dig up for this thing.
