[@farshot]

Took until right towards the end for Cap to call Hornet pilots lazy. Incredible restraint shown Cap, good job! ;)

[@grimreapers]

I REALLY had to work to hold that in :)

[@tyoma_14]

The guys who invested in a 1000€ HOTAS be like 👁️👄👁️

[@grimreapers]

lol nice paperweight

[@jaflaza]

Cap to the rescue again! Thanks for keeping us educated and informed.

[@grimreapers]

Any time!

[@ericandi]

I noted a wee bit of sarcasm when you were presenting an overview of the fully autonomous features of the lovely F/A-18C. ;) I’m sure you think it takes away all the fun. I know you like the early Cold War aircraft without all this fancy automation.

[@Ultrajamz]

Never seen that horizontal joystick before

[@GrahamMilkdrop]

Not necessarily lazy... you might have some ironing to do.

[@ShuRugal]

This should be very helpful for making super precise dumb bomb drops from altitude for dealing with targets below an overcast layer.

[@jameshewitt8828]

That's awesome, and you can see why there's more and more UAS/UCAVs etc... You can be even lazier and sit in a ISO container ordering in dominos pizza whilst doing this for real

[@allmight1612]

This is feeling like the movie WALL-E where humans become lazy and obese because everything became automated on the distant future lol

[@luizucchetto2528]

Great video. I guess i will always bring a paper along from now in case I get bored from watching the plane do everything for me. Who needs pilots anyways?

[@Dave_ess]

Ahh, gonna make case 3 a breeze!

[@sandman11]

Incredible!

[@AXL4LIFE229]

Wags thought of everything except a cupholder for my 🍺 JS. 😁

[@onevoice5359]

Awesome watching over and over again little fast at the end but that’s just me. Going from the A10c to the f18c

[@SnookieLove16]

Hands down the most intelligent game I have played 😂 that is class

[@cmibm6022]

Interesting. This is what the SU33 have been able to do for years - OK, plus a little more ;-) I just wonder if it is possible to also use the altitude of the waypoints??? That would be something.

[@daddyspartanvr]

Now it's literally press the green button and let it do everything for you.

[@ALPHARICCO875]

Top Thank you

[@bigtroglodyte]

Got the f-18 for the same reason i got a automatic car cant eat a sandwich in a p-47 or in a manual car

[@1985rbaek]

You steer the manual car with the knee while you eat. You could probably do the same with the P-47

[@ra803g6]

My room does half my mission every time and nobody calls me lazy

[@skilgannon5069]

Just when you though the Hornet couldn't make flying a mission any more dull.... 😴

[@grimreapers]

lol!

[@ra803g6]

Cap hates the green button!

[@grimreapers]

It really does have a green button now :)

[@CristianoPupilli]

I can't activate it, I've done everything the tutorial says, but it doesn't appear in the autopilot options. Tips ?

[@LaloMartinez]

Hi Cap, I just noticed there is a fall season now (for Caucasus map at least) in the mission editor, the trees are golden yellow when you fly over. I believe this is new, I had not noticed this before. Only summer and winter, has anyone noticed this before?

[@Watchyourselvez]

Yep! Fall season has been around a while. Pretty cool!

[@LaloMartinez]

@@Watchyourselvez Sweet, thanks!

[@jaflaza]

What are the dates for fall season in the mission editor?

[@LaloMartinez]

@@jaflaza Around mid October

[@mkevilempire]

Cool. A tutorial on how to not play the game anymore. :) Could also just watch GR videos instead

[@JamesEtc3417]

Thanks mate! Just started in the game and not sure how you manage to make 5-20 minute videos and cover everything. Other dudes are making 45min Videos about nothing.

[@ThroneOfBhaal]

1:25 soo... why are you there at all? ;)

[@apmorf]

Hey Cap. Check out Stellan Hilmerby on KZbin, he has been in the swedish air force for 14 years and he has some really nice videos! You need to practice your swedish though or get one of your crew to interpret it for you🙂

[@grimreapers]

thx

[@finixhawkeye3213]

Let me get my fact checked. F/A-18 has identity issues. Confused between being a Drone, A commercial private jet or a fighter 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@uksfpred2196]

I don't get how you knew when to release the bomb 😕

[@Laerei]

Bit late but I am going to explain anyhow: On the HUD right of the horizon line is the word AUTO which indicates automatic weapon release mode is on (semi-automatic to be honest as you still need to hold the button) and right below it there's a number and REL. This means seconds to automatic weapon RELease. GR begins holding down the weapon release button 7 seconds before REL goes zero. If he did not, the bomb wouldn't drop.

[@Shadow__133]

Why 254° -6°? Is that variation? Isn't the runway already magnetic heading?

[@grimreapers]

That map view is True Hdg.

[@Shadow__133]

@@grimreapers Still trying to get my head around it. That ILS course plot shows 074° which the reciprocal is 254° and that should be magnetic. The Runway marking shows runway 24 or 25? Almost as confusing as the DCS winds to/from lol.

[@tronzoid7312]

Unrealistic.

[@jungletroll3844]
