I'm looking forward to this module... the last time I flew this plane in a sim was in the early '90's on my Amiga... F/A-18 Interceptor. :-) Just a guess, but I think the graphics will be better than they were then!

Hi, quick question, in F-18 panel (or at least some models) in right console thre is this AMAC CONTROL panel which is not implemented in DCS f-18, do you know what is this and why it is not in DCS Panel? Thanks,

KY-58 should not be implemented as the operation of this is secret. I asked what it did and the AT's told me not to touch it. (I'm an AD) The ground power switches are used for troubleshooting and ground maintenance tasks. Switching these to A, B, or NORM allows certain systems to come online, such as the DDI's, the Radar systems, and mission computers. (the ddi's will not turn on unless ground power is applied with the ground power switches 1, 3, and 4 set to B and the BATT switch set to ON or the aircraft's generators come online.)

Luke, if you have a voice at ED or if you know Matt Wagner, please let them know about the desire for a D-version. many developers have done the single seater, but the beautiful double seater has been forgotten. Honestly, adding a model would not hurt the devs, would it. Systemswise the MFD's in the rear have the identical functions like the ones in the front. so i see not a single reason for not doing it. many reasons to do it: 1. adds optical feature (external view, adds to airbase scenery) 2. allows to fly in the wso-seat, looking over front pilot (really cool view), feels like being a passenger 3. co-op-ready (2 guys flying 1 aircraft) in multiplayer (how cool is that) 4. upgrades dcs (attracts even more users) Remember F-15 (ask Matt Wagner) from the Desert Storm Sim many years ago, that was the coolest thing. So, please accept my big PLEASE !! and help making it become real. Thanks for reading.

Sorry bud, I don't work at ED. I would love to see a D model as well but as far as I know it is not planned (maybe that will change). But do keep an eye on the Tomcat, that will have 2 seater multiplayer. Razbam was planning a strike eagle but are waiting on ED's new ground radar. But who knows what ED is planning! :-)

The Anti G valve doesn't keep the O2 system "operating under G" since you have a NATOPs according to your comments you can look it up...should be under "life support" since it is the hookup for the G-suit...LOL

Ah ok thanks. I was confused since it was on the oxygen panel.
@fmt4h961
@fmt4h961 8 жыл бұрын
It's on the O2 panel based on the system that feeds it and the O2. The system provides bleed air stepped down to the anti G system as well as providing bleed air (more complicated than I'm telling you" to OBOGs after cooling it down and stepping the pressure down for the mask. Once you lose the engines you lose O2 (still have a backup) but O2 becomes a backseat issue since the motors aren't turning...unless of course it is a bleed air issue and that may be a bigger deal than having no O2 as well :(

It's French actually :) It's named after the French hydraulic engineer who invented the tube. His name was Henri Pitot. The pitot tube is used as part of the Pitot-Static system in aircraft, which is used for Airspeed, Altitude, and Vertical Speed, in case you didn't know. The pitot tube itself is used as part of the airspeed indicator only. An airspeed indicator simply takes ram air from the pitot tube and measures it against the static air around the aircraft to give you the airspeed.
