Welcome to Hornet-eve! (Also know in some circles as Wags-mas). I think that we can all agree that it has been a long wait for this module and many of us are eagerly anticipating watching the DCS Updater do it’s thing tomorrow. I know I will be leaving cookies and milk on my internet router in joyful anticipation of a good connection, high bandwidth and a fast download.
Anyhoo.
Since there will be quite a few of us disturbing the hornets nest tomorrow I thought it might be a good idea to attempt to organize our Hornet Initial Impressions, AARs and screenshots into a fresh thread. With that in mind, I am setting this thread up for that purpose. In an effort to provide quick access to content below, I will try to keep this top post up to date with links to the various posts that will come after it. I won’t link everyone’s posts here but if we can put a little effort into posting some impressions, AARs or collections of screenshots, I will try to provide a table-of-contents here.
on your right hand side, next to your leg, there’s a bright yellow paddle thingy. Make sure that’s flush with the panel, and then pull the striped yellow/black lanyards between your legs.
I’m just saying if you could email my Project Manager and tell her that I can’t come to work tomorrow because people “need” help with the Hornet, I’d be right there. As it is…
In celebration of this DCS launch event (that we’ve been looking forward to for many years) you now get to ‘like’ a post using a wee fighter jet. If you squint really hard it sort of looks like a hornet. I know it’s a bit early, but this saves me getting up early tomorrow.
I think reality is actively taunting me. Come in this morning, make some real progress. Find out in my daily tag up they need these two tasks done this week, not next week. Then my VDI rolls over and dies so I can’t even work on it.
woohoo! look what just arrived today. Just in time for the Hornet release tomorrow. Hobby Master VFA-94 F/A-18C from Operation Enduring Freedom. Great… I think I just found something else spend money on. I can see this collection growing
Do we know how large the download will be I am data flow restricted. The minimum system requirements say 60 Gb hard drive space. That seems rather large
