DCS F/A-18C

Flight Sims DCS F/A-18C Hornet
2380

True enough-I read that in the article and think it is a good decision.

However, my last deployment–WESTPAC 2004 on STENNIS–we weren’t using those weapons (as CSG-7 N2 I was intimately familiar with our targeting process and weapons employed)…pretty sure none were in the ship’s magazines.

About that time a typical airwing (i.e. CVW-14 on STENNIS) included 2 x FA-18C squadrons, a FA-18E squadron and an F-14D squadron. (Our deployment was the last PACFLT F-14 deployment…to be replaced by another Rhino squadron.) With the Tomcats still doing the bulk of the Fleet air defense CAPs, and only one Rhino squadron, the Hornets were picking up a majority of the air-to-mud missions…so in taking a 2005 look for their FA-18C, I think DCS has captured a good timeframe for their Hornet.

All that said, we are all flightsimmers. I know I wouldn’t mind taking a Walleye shot or two just for fun.:sunglasses:

I have a question:
do our DCS F-18 has a working IFF for BVR combat? Is radar able to identificate friend or foes?

2382

According to the Crash Loabi video posted above, not currently.

I knew this would happen. The Hornet is the most anticipated module, there had to be multiple people doing the same liveries, especially the most famous ones.

Oh… and Skate, please, the VMFA-314, VW-00 is already in the works by someone.

Good information, although I guess its probably not out of the realm of possibility to have those, and the more options the better.

Gimmie an Idea and a Color Scheme… ;-D

Thinkin’ Mudspike Logo on the spine, bomb target logo for tail art?

Would just need the Logo’s sent over in a PSD (no background etc)

Hey everyone. I have created a second thread for Impressions, AARs and Screenshots after tomorrows release. I hope we can keep the discussion going here but if you wouldn’t mind, please post your impressions and media in that thread.

This is an attempt to break up the discussion a little so that people who might be coming to Mudspike for information (etc) won’t have to wade through a long thread. Please let me know your thoughts on this.

Thanks!

I would guess you’re going for Ita… I better not take that surprise away.

2391

Ohhh…comeon !!! Everybody knows that italians doesn’t have any Hornet !! :wink::wink::sunglasses:

2392

Yeah, about that… I think we should ask the real aircraft operators of the world to agree on a standard livery. Or at least reduce the number of squadrons…
:joy:

The discount is gone, no download yet though. For me atleast.

2397

I noticed that it is not finding an update yet, but if I log in it does say I can install the Hornet. When I try though it says it can’t find the module. So not just yet.

2398

Same thing happened with PG last week.

2399

I would like a generic Mudspike skin for our yet to be confirmed F/A-18C fly in #Summer 18
