DCS Module Buyer Guide Review: FA-18C Hornet (Early Access)

[@svmik]

Hornet's mission is to shoot down what's up and blow up what's down... simple!

[@UnknownError9550]

That is so well said i'm actually pissed off. XD

[@Saromus]

really have to admire fighter pilots who are able to retain all this information about their aircraft. Just the amount of information and technical details that they need to know are immense.

[@AdamMi1]

At first it's hard, but you spend so much time in the aircraft that you really start to know everything about it

[@Arstine]

This one is finally starting to be as versatile in game as the actual plane is.

[@Stubbies2003]

I've been flying the F/A-18 exclusively in DCS for the last month or so and it has been a hoot.

[@isaquesevero4369]

will they add the F/A-18E super hornet ?

[@heavyinfantry1692]

Hubby Cub if they ever added that it would be so cool but for me it would spoil me and I would probably never touch the f-18c again but if they added the d variant (2 seater c version) I think that would be super cool Don’t get me wrong if they added a E. Variant the coloured mfd’s and extra pylons would be great just I think it would be better if they focused on something like the strike eagle would be amazing

[@rewmeister]

I just got this module and before I do any training or whatever I just go fly and see what's up. I crashed a lot trying to pull Gs like I do flying the f15c.

[@PaletoB]

Difficulty almost need to be divided into 1: getting it to fly and 2: systems. Some are really easy to start, takeoff and fly while the weapon, navigation and other systems takes many times longer to learn.

[@Sinni64]

I‘ve started DCS with the Hornet on day one of EA and I think it‘s wasn’t that hard to learn, because it didn‘t have that much of features at the beginning and isn‘t hard to fly at all. So when the first new weapons/systems started to come in, it was enough time before that to study all the stuff, that was already present. And learning the new systems one by one, when they come in, is really enjoyable and not that hard. On the other hand, if you are new to dcs and buy the Hornet now, you will have a rough time, like CAP said.

[@masterhighground3677]

When this thing will be finished it can do short range anti ship with the Walleyes, long range anti ship with the Harpoons, loooooooong range precision ground strike with the SLAM-ER and so much more this plane is just awesome

*** Don't forget the Mid Air Refueling of the planes --- It's one thing I Look at, if it's difficult in one plane to another --- Good video !!!

[@kruegerbnu]

42:08 I also started flying FC3 planes. Last year I got into DCS after seeing the release of the F/A-18C, but before commiting the money and buying the module I started learning with the free Su-25. After being able to fly and operate the entire range of weapons on the Su-25, I started learning air-to-air combat with the F-15C. Now that I know how to operate the radar, scan for enemies, understand the difference between STT and TWS modes, how missiles work (fox 1, fox 2, fox 3) and how to bleed their energy, I feel confident to go ahead and put the money to purchase a module. However instead of the Hornet, now I'm looking at the F-16 and learn it's functions as they are implemented. Honestly, I feel a little overwhelmed by the Hornet, so going along with the F-16 development should not be so hard.

[@Stubbies2003]

So another correction for you on this one. KY-58 is for encrypted communication through the radios. Probably not modeled or needed to be so. They can just pretend it is working and leave the comms plain.

[@jjsemperfi]

Coming from the VRS Superbug I’m excited to jump into this guy after I learn the A-10C.

[@milkhbox]

Every since I was little kid watching F-16s and 18s taking off from Luke Air Force Base I knew I wanted to be fighter pilot, but realized in high school that it would never be a possibility for me. (Crap eyesight and asthma) The F/A-18 has always held a very very special place in my heart, so the fact that I now have the opportunity to learn the intricacies of the systems and tactics real pilots use is a life long dream come true. I'm having so much fun flying and, more importantly, learning the most accurate simulation of a Hornet available to the public that it ought to be illegal. Oh, I wish I had the alpha of a Hornet.

Well that's easy. The new planes are boring to fly, and the older planes are more fun to fly. I have more joy in a MiG-21 than I do in a hornet and I'm sure many people can say that.

[@andrewsc7304]

In regards to the afterburner, My game improved significantly after I changed the "special settings" for F18 for the afterburner to only engage once I depress a button (if you have a spare button on your HOTAS). Now I fly at max power without worrying about fuel consumption. I recommend everyone to try that setting.

[@Flightsimmovies]

Oh. Thank you!

[@Danofcanada]

The audio detail in Flight Simulator X the F18c had a nice and satisfying thump when the afterburners came on. Amazing performance. But this DCS model inside and out is by far better.

[@TealJosh]

My career with dcs was tf-51, a-4e community aircraft and hornet. Extremely high learning curve with tf-51, learned it in a week or so(15 flight hours). And now I've been learning hornet for a month with 30 flight hours and I still struggle with landing and I LOVE IT.

[@Stubbies2003]

The only thing that makes it more interesting to land than other fighters I've flown in DCS and BMS is the lack of flaring on landing. Thanks to the massive flight surfaces she handles very well at speeds the F-16 wouldn't want to be flying at all.

[@keirfarnum6811]

When I think about how the old Jane’s F18E used to look, the 3D graphics are amazing. Even Falcon 4.0 was only close to these graphics in the 2D and that’s how we used to fly; especially since the 3D model wasn’t clickable. DCS is pretty impressive. I hope that get it fully up to snuff. Wish I could afford a new puter so I could play. Oh well...

[@eracer1111]

I've just gotten into DCS and have been debating which module(s) to buy. I just bought the F/A-18. Once I get comfortable with the SU-25, and FC3, I'll dive into learning this amazing plane. Thanks for the great review...

[@Xxfireman024xX]

A lot of that sound can be removed by turning on hear like in helmet, and also, turning off the canopy defog will decrease a little more of that white-noise

[@Nanne118]

As a bit of an addendum, the LITENING targetting pod on the F18 that we currently get is not finalized yet and we will also get an additional targetting pod (the ATFLIR) in the future. This latter TGP will also include a NAVFLIR similar to that featured on the Harrier: in addition a rework for the FLIR system is also being worked on, with the current FLIR being outdated and occasionally broken. Lastly some additional features still to come (in addition to the TWS mode for the air to air rader and harpoon) are the SLAM and SLAM-ER cruise missiles, the walleye tv bomb, and last but certainly not least the air-to-ground radar mode.

[@Sinni64]

The thing I love the most about the Hornets sound engine, is the buzzing above 450knots. Its something that gives this otherwise sterile plane, a little bit character.

[@PappyGunn]

Two things got me with the F-18 sound. When you start it, the "sucking" sound it makes in the middle of startup. And the "whoosh" sound it makes as you go full power and it accelerates down the runway. Just like the real thing, I have heard that sound for year decades ago when I worked on it.

[@FJFuentesCO]

Just picked this up. I was a little intimidated at first getting a full fidelity model. But it is great, it running track ir or anything like that but keeping the pov hat button allows me enough free look ability to really enjoy this!

[@mariushusejacobsen3221]

Personally, I like the FBW. I'm telling the plane where to go, and it goes there, as opposed to having a conversation with the plane, where I'm constantly interrogating it about its control response.

"Next is Difficulty, and that is how hard it is to[...]" *looks at screen* *"Diffictulty"* *thinks* "[...] spell the word "Difficulty"? You can't make that stuff up, brilliant! Great vid too, by the by.

[@commandosolo_193]

I like to call it the spreadsheet simulator. If you get all the spreadsheets, it makes the play easier.

[@PLHarpoon]

Just a suggestion: perhaps split the "difficulty" category into two: difficult to learn (how much time/dedication is required to learn the systems) difficult to use (how difficult it is to effectively use the aircraft once you've learned it) The Hornet is a good example of an aircraft that is relatively difficult to learn but very easy to use whereas on the other side of the spectrum you have warbirds which are very easy to learn but quite difficult to use effectively.

[@grimreapers]

Yes I think exactly the same. Problems is that half of the vids are now recorded, and the work to go change them is too high ATM. Will figure something out.

[@snakeye5053]

Howdy Cap. Just a quick observation on this vid. Right about 34:42 as you pull up and look over your left shoulder , if you look real close you can see what appears to be the wing tip flex upward do to high G loading.

[@grimreapers]

roger most DCS planes have that now. Or the modern ones at least.

You forgot the "fly-by (F3) view" for sound. It is the best of all the modules. For this F-18 deserves a score of 4.75.

[@Stubbies2003]

As far as sounds you were guessing the bomb dropping that you could hear it. I can't say as far as Mk-82/3/4 as I don't fly with those normally but I've dropped many a CBU (Rockeyes and CBU-99) from this bird and I haven't a clue that it has come off unless I look at the Stores page or do my own BDA. The other main gripe I have sound wise is one you were already covering. Going into AB from Mil or coming back out of AB to Mil power. I use the Thrustmaster Warthog and I have the AB stop in place and have modified both engine axis so that it roughly correlates with the stop so I can use that as my feedback.

You can hear the cockpit buttons when the Aircraft is powered off. Other wise the ambient noise of the cockpit drowns them out. Glad I got the hornet when it just came out so I got introduced to the systems bit by bit, otherwise I can see how it can be really a handful.

I did exactly like Cap said.. I've had the game about a month. bought the flaming cliffs pack. got bored, and bought the f/18 a few days ago. took me a day to even stat it..lol I do love it though, and am enjoying the learning experience . My problem with all the lesson video's are they refer to everything in abbreviations. .I know what a/a, a/g means but the rest I Don't have a clue. so I have to stop watching every few sec's and go look up what it means. like ,,ILS, TAK, stuff like that.

AXL4LIFE229 that’s exactly my issue. I know cap does a sweep from left to right but if I don’t know in which situation I’d use that item I’ll get lost. I’m still on a break from this aircraft, but I guess I’m more hands on with learning. I think the massive number of keys and key sets you have to learn might be stumbling me up. A lot of folks keep telling me to keep chugging I’ll get there soon

[@farmersuiticles]

You mention having to rely on sound but have you ever tried Buttkicker on your gaming chair (apologies if you have) to reproduce feel from audio?

[@Ichinin]

Watching your videos reminds me of top gear somewhat, but for fighter jets. Probably will buy the F18 even though i have flown it in other sims like Aerofly FS2, it appears to be the best overall experience in DCS, despite of the "flying a calculator" comment. Gonna get Viggen too, mostly because i'm Swedish and dreamt about flying it as a kid. Got the F15A and A10A just so i would have something to play with, but i admit the difference between A and C models seems astronomical in quality, leaning in towards the hull in VR to have a closer look shows that they didn't spend too much time on the A models - but hey, they were cheap. As for scenery i don't know yet, but the gulf looks interesting. Thanks for making these videos.

[@Ichinin]

@17ll3 x214 Cool. Have been thinking Nevada, but AFS2 already got Vegas and I've already flown over the strip and A51 lots so a bit of middle east coastline would be a nice change. Hornet looks good, though the F14 is also nice (carrier based), but the shaking and sudden breaking up in the air worry me... it's supposed to be a game after all and not flight training for a real flight career.

The Viper will give the Hornet a pretty good run for its money as the king of multi-role... and will handle several roles better than the Hornet. In the end, though, the Hornet has carrier operations, anti-ship, and a more powerful radar system. So I think it will keep its crown.

[@AquinoSamuel]

Where's the (ground map) AG radar?

[@ilejovcevski79]

Almost fully agree with everything mentioned in the video (and i too own most of the planes in DCS) except for one little thingy and that's the alpha communication. Yeah, this may sound nicer, but IMO the Tomcat communicates high alpha states much more friendly. When i fly the 14 i can tell exactly how many units i have pulled into, with this.....not so much. I can tell i'm in deep buffet, but by then it's too late. Similar to the F-14 and the high speed high g's. You can tell you've pulled them, but by then it's too late. When i fly the Tomcat though, there is crisp distinction between 10, 15, 20 and 30+ units. You just can't miss it. And it helps you not just for energy management but from getting yourself killed. The silver lining of course, is that the FBW of the Hornet does the baby sitting for you, so most times you ain't gonna crash anyways, however, if you aren't careful, energy management can be tricky. Fortunately the HMS can help even with that. So yeah, quite user friendly machine.

@@alexanderbeck5998 Good God WTH are you getting so salty over A-A versus A-G guns? He is giving an example for everyone about the ENTIRE aircraft as a module not specific modes. If you want to see someone strafing that badly take the whiny cap off and go watch a tutorial video on strafing.

@@alexanderbeck5998 Then, young sir, might I suggest you get a grasp on what English speakers might consider to be a rude reply prior to posting it? When you asked about a specific mode of operation, well beyond the scope of what the video is about, and he simply replies that he only wanted to hear the sound (he was testing for sounds) which is a perfectly legitimate answer based on what he was doing in the video and your response is "whatever" that is rude plain and simple.

Would the F-16 be a better choice over the f-18 for someone getting into fast military Jets got the first time as it's simpler and not fly by wire? I ask as the reviews on it on steam aren't universally that great but looks to be easier to master.. considering either the f-16, f-14 or f-18..

[@haonanzhang6759]

Most of the learning is put into system interaction rather than how to fly an aircraft. F16 and f18 are both multi-role fighters so you have more system to learn whilst the f14/f15/su27/mig29 are air-to-air only planes in this game so there's way less to learn.

[@tamsonlee5659]

Hey can yall feature all the standard liveries available with the plane too? Itll be a great addition to the review.

Dear Cap, I have some serious concerns regarding the upcoming buyer's guide for the Christian Eagle II. If such a simple module as the F/A-18C takes a 50 minute video to cover then I can't help but be very, very concerned. My concern, of course, is for health and well-being of you and your team at GR. Knowing the complexity of the Christian Eagle II in relation to that of the F/A-18C, I ask that you please not overwork yourself or the team as you work to script and film the video. As much as we enjoy the buyer's guide videos, the Christian Eagle II is liable to prove a daunting task indeed. Perhaps such a fine and complex aircraft is best left for a multi-part buyer's guide series. All the best.

[@Stubbies2003]

I certainly hope that comment of "simple module as the F/A-18C" was a joke or tongue in cheek as there is nothing that simple about this aircraft.

Having few CEII probs at mo, the weapons section of vid is so long now that my 516GB SSD is no longer big enough to store this part of the vid. Any suggestions welcome.

You have to understand the psychology of supercap. I will always back the weakest lamest horse, and work hard as I can on it until it beats the strong horse. ALWAYS take the path of most resistance I say. Why do you think I am a DCS youtuber lol? Not the most fun job in the world I can assure you.
