blksolo Posted June 10, 2013 Posted June 10, 2013 Here is a very interesting video 1 Intel i7 6700k OC 4.7ghz Asus ROG Maximus VIII Hero Motherboard Zotac GTX980ti 6GB Amp Extreme 32 GB DDR4 3200 RAM Oculus Rift CV1 Thrustmaster Warthog
Pyroflash Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 Why did you post this in the Cortex Designs forum? If you aim for the sky, you will never hit the ground.
ED Team NineLine Posted June 11, 2013 ED Team Posted June 11, 2013 Yeah, us Canucks use the C, which ED is doing.... Cortex doing the E...I think... Forum Rules • My YouTube • My Discord - NineLine#0440• **How to Report a Bug**
coretexdesigns Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 Yeah, us Canucks use the C, which ED is doing.... Cortex doing the E...I think... Yes, we are doing the F/A-18E Super Hornet. By the way, our group is spelled "Coretex Designs."

blksolo Posted June 12, 2013 Author Posted June 12, 2013 I did not put it here because I thought Coretex was doing the C Hornet,I just thought it was an interesting video.It's rare that you see a pilot going into the ins and outs of HOTAS and mfcd's like that.Does ED have an F-18 forum ?I will post there next time.

No, but it does have a miscellaneous "Military and Aviation" forum that would more perfectly suit this kind of thread :) If you aim for the sky, you will never hit the ground.
IvanK Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 Yeah, us Canucks use the C, which ED is doing.... Cortex doing the E...I think... Er NO you Canuks use the A and the B :) ... with that CF moniker in front of them.
ED Team NineLine Posted June 13, 2013 ED Team Posted June 13, 2013 Well they just went through a modernization... so I dont know where that puts them, but you are correct, originally they ordered A's and B's... They actually call them CF-188s now? Er NO you Canuks use the A and the B :) ... with that CF moniker in front of them. Forum Rules • My YouTube • My Discord - NineLine#0440• **How to Report a Bug**
Sabadin Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 They actually call them CF-188s now? I think that's been the official designation for them since day 1, just nobody ever actually calls them that.
ED Team NineLine Posted June 14, 2013 ED Team Posted June 14, 2013 Yeah, I have never heard them called that when ever they are talked about... so dunno... I think that's been the official designation for them since day 1, just nobody ever actually calls them that. Forum Rules • My YouTube • My Discord - NineLine#0440• **How to Report a Bug**
Sabadin Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 Well, it's definitely still the official RCAF designation, I'm guessing it was just to emphasize that they weren't really stock A models. http://www.rcaf-arc.forces.gc.ca/v2/equip/cf18/index-eng.asp
IvanK Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 (edited) The only differences between the Stock USN delivered FA18A and the CF version were: Incorporation of the Visident light. Deletion of Navy ILS system (control panel on left console was still fitted) Incorporation of Civil VOR and ILS (controlled by UFC and HSI option buttons) Addition of Ejection tone Martin Baker Combined Harness replaced USN style Torso harness Software Armament mod to cater for CRV7 and BL755 and LAU-5003/A and SUU-5003/A Different main gear Oleo design (God knows why !) Deletion of CV INS alignment capability No ACL capability *Sanitised Radar software loads (RCAF did not initially get NCTR from day one) and some other stuff in the sanitisation process Similarly the RAAF spec changes from the stock A model were: HF Radios and KY75 secure HF comm system Deletion of Navy ILS system ((control panel on left console was still fitted) Incorporation of Civil VOR and ILS (controlled by UFC and HSI option buttons) Addition of Gear down tone Martin Baker Combined Harness replaced USN style Torso harness Removal of Launch bar (caused nothing but troubles with nose wheel shimmy) Barometric settings in Mb rather than inches Software armament mod to cater for SUU-20a Deletion of CV INS alignment capability No ACL capability *Sanitised Radar software loads (RAAF did however get NCTR from day one)and some other stuff in the sanitisation process. The RAAF aircraft were designated FA-18/A and TF-18/A (later in line with USN nomenclature the duals were designated FA-18/B) The C model had numerous significant hardware changes to give it a different designation. Both the RCAF and RAAF Hornets were A models with minor customer mods. *The Sanitised radar loads were not really detailed to the operators but basically the radar performance in the early days of both the RCAF and RAAF Hornets were not as good as the basic USN aircraft. This was particularly noticeable in TWS performance and stability. This became a sore point for both the RAAF and RCAF as both operators believed they were getting un sanitised loads.

ED Team NineLine Posted June 15, 2013 ED Team Posted June 15, 2013 They had talked about getting the E I think at some point but decided on the F-35s... Forum Rules • My YouTube • My Discord - NineLine#0440• **How to Report a Bug**
