FCS reversion modes planned?

[twistking]

Hello,

i'm sorry for opening another thread, but i could not yet get any official information on the roadmap concerning flight control reversion modes in the f/a-18c.

 

In the introduction video to the Hornet Wags mentioned the reversion mode(s) as a feature of the aircraft, but not specifically as a feature of the DCS module. It is however such an vital part of an accurate simulation, that i could not imagine reversion modes not getting implemented at all. Now i'm worrying though, because there has been absolutely no mentioning by any ED officials that proper flight control reversion modes would in fact be on the roadmap.

 

The real C-Hornet has a mechanical and two electrical reversion modes and i think at least the mechanical and one of the two electrical modes should be modeled to allow for decently realistic emergency procedures and correct handling after sustained battle damage.

Also integration with other systems should at least be modelled to an extent that allows the reversion modes to be triggered by the pilot (probably through cuircuit breakers) for testing, training, emergency procedures or simply for the joy (or terror?) of flying the Hornet "barebone" and without the computer flight augmentations.

 

So, will the Hornet get proper reversion mode(s) in the future?

Thanks!

why the secrecy???

You never live long enough for more than a 7.62mm worth of damage at the moment, so don't worry about trying to fly around battle damage :D :D :D

 

Looking forward to seeing the full damage model, the A10C is a joy to limp home after having the crap knocked out of it :D

Indeed it is. That's why i'm so interested in Hornets damage model and reversion flight controls.

I just think it is suspicious that ED would never ever answer to anything regarding FCS reversion: I did several threads, posted in the russian subforums "ask the dev", sent a pm to Wags and asked in other threads, of which one got deleted, after i posted there.

So for some reason ED are not very keen on talking about that topic, which is strange since people usually get answers for even the weirdest questions and suggestions...
