DCS: F/A-18C Hornet | New HARM Modes

[@siddharthsrao]

"Cloudy Day here today" LOL. What a tease!

[@popovqc]

probably a good sign of those coming as planned at the end of Q1 :D this will so much change our univers ! Very nice work as usual ED.

“Hey everyone wags here from Eagle Dynamics”😁 This day just took an upturn.

[@tbmdd]

Facts.

[@hvymtal8566]

I checked in detail. The HARM ALIC codes for the various emitters are exactly the same as they are on the F-16C (makes enough sense as it's the same missile). For F-16 pilots who already have kneeboard pages for the HARM, you can simply reuse your existing pages for the F/A-18C

Just admit it, as cool as the new mode on the HARM is, this video was just an excuse to show off the clouds and weather again. Stop teasing us! My heart can't take much more :P

Damnit Wags, you know exactly how hyped we are for these clouds! Please tell us they are coming with the next open beta update!

[@shadowblade145]

Man, the sim looks absolutely gorgeous with these new effects. Whatever you guys did with the atmosphere in conjunction with the new clouds makes this feel so nostalgic for some reason (very reminiscent of the old "F/A-18 Precision Strike Fighter" for Windows 98)

[@brainfart22]

So I'm confused by the way you demonstrated pullback mode. With HARM override on, will the weapon release button just release the selected weapon, while showing a crossed out HARM on your hud? The way you showed it made me think that having override on would just disable all weapons from dropping

[@clevercat5844]

This is looking good Wags! Thanks for the update!

Thanks Wags, that was so cool. I know I'm late to the party right. Those clouds were beautiful, I know I'm pushing it but I spose you don't recall which ones they were? Doesn't matter, thanks that Harm refresher was great 👍

[@Antares2]

Hey wags, great stuff incoming ! Can't wait to try al of these things. Could you take a moment to explain me a couple of things ? I'm French, & didn't totally understand why you're on MAV Screen to launch an AGM-88C. Another point, how is that possible to Launch the AGM-88C while the Override is unboxed ? Thanks for your time.

[@flighttherapybullisticfpv133]

Very cool that the ships and carriers have their own codes... so the harm can realistically be used for anti-shipping I guess. Has to be less dangerous than the harpoon lol

[@MattWagner]

Yes, part of some ships improvements being worked on. Thanks.

It sure is the the ATFLIR. If you look closely at the SMS page in the first few minutes of the video, you would see the indication that say atflir. Also the symbology on that display is way different from what we currently have in the hornet.

[@francescomisuraca6697]

@@ernestwinslow7316 I know that is different but again, I was not sure if it was the atflir or another pod since there are other flir tipes planned (I think). My hornet knoledge is study level for dcs 😅

Finally, another toy to play with, or at least another way to play with the toy. Any idea when the hornet will be 100% complete? It's been almost 3 years. I'm hoping that due to the hornet and viper being relatively similar the viper won't take 3 years.

Hey Wags, with all the work added to the Hornet in this past year. Will the changes be added to the manuals or tutorials? I have the 18 now, but are the tutorials now incorrect?

Yes, they are continually updated by our new manual writer. Thanks.

[@86poulin]

So will this work when the waypoint isn't directly on the area where the sa6 is? I have a mission created where the f18 is sead but flying a racetrack pattern around the map because the sa6 are hidden. And supposed to pop up..

sooo, if all i know is that the sam is anywhere at a certain airfield, is it enough for it to put the waypoint direct into the middle of the runway? will it find the SAM then itself?
