FA-18C Hornet: Cockpit Familiarization Tutorial | DCS WORLD

Thank you for this!

I didnt notice till 25 minutes in that the 2nd voice wasnt a pre recording lol

I just bought this plane it sounds overwhelming but I understand that it needs a lot of time. Any support or someone interested to be my mentor? I don’t know anybody in my personal connections who plays dcs

Lol. I was expecting for you to go over the training missions and maybe do some explaining... turns out it's much more in-depth than I wanted and I love it!!!
I'm new to dcs(to flight sims actually) and was quite lost trying to take my hornet off the ground. First time I did, I used the throttles to steer the plane on take off cause I had not mapped the rudder pedals to my joystick control hahaha. it was quite a challenge.
Cant wait to go over the next missions and see how you approach those.

Simple my ass

The tutorials given by Eagle Dynamics for this aircraft are absolutely pathetic. Like…what the hell. I paid 80 bucks and here I am listening to free YT videos for instruction? I think that’s pretty unacceptable.

Such a well thought through cockpit and plane

I am currently building a new computer and am getting the winwing Orion 2 with f18 stick. Your videos are helping me build confidence to get off the tarmac.

literally outstanding

Is this a mods?

Can a WSO fly an FA-18D when Pilot is incapacitated?????

Thanks!

Thank you!

But where's the seat belt indicator?

how to remove pilot fro cockpit?

Great video, thank you! I'm just learning the 18, and this was extremely helpful.

Constructive criticism: the VSI is in hundreds of fpm, not thousands.

about to lose many hours of my life going through all of these videos. thanks

Join the.... give us the nukes campaign

Question about the TWS auto radar mode - if I drop the lock and want to reacquire the target once he is back on my scope I often need to go back into manual mode to change the antenna elevation. Is there a way to either change the antenna elevation in auto mode or is there a hotas button I can press to quickly go back into manual mode? Many thanks

I know how to fly the FA-18C Hornet, just the essentials though. But this video made me like a 40% better flyer, thanks!

Why do left and right DDI tinted green, try can display some colours other than green like in az/el page. What technology is our representing?
Can't be CRT.

Great vidéo 🇲🇫🐸🇨🇵
Thanks

NUC... Nuke?... Lolololol.
Will we get them sometime? xD

there were quite a few things that are actually modeled but you guys said they were not, example the G XMT, which has nothing to do with cipher, it just forces Guard selection into the comm1 or 2, and it is modeled. Sorry for the rather toxic comment, I just think that based on the quality videos you make, there should have been more research for this cockpit before launching the video.

Nice video, very informative.

Great overview, didn’t realize the F-18 had a nuclear switch as well.

I can't turn on night vision with right shift and H anymore. Has anything changed I don't know?

I would think that the airspeed gauge on the standby panel would be kias, and that it would work by comparing the air pressure of a forward facing port to a lateral one. Also, altitude would come from the lateral one.

Does it model fuel loss? I.e, you are shot in a wing and leaking fuel. can you stop the leak from draining other tanks with those fuel switches? Also, can you adjust the center of mass with those fuel panel switches?

KY 58 panel works, even with SRS Simple radio for encrypted transmissions. I think it only works with COMM 2 but I don't really know how it works

Can't we hide the throttles yet (so we can twiddle the knobs behind them without having to slam into full power to make the lights flash)?

Really nice. Please do more for the harrier and other airplanes.

Thanks for the tutorial.
F/A -18 was my first purchase.

On a side note: your Winwing is cool!

Just love the simplicity of Hornet's cockpit, so intuitive and easy to operate!

Perfect timing for this training refresher as I've only just started with DCS after flying Il2 in VR for some time now but my old i6-6700 w gtx 1660 ti just didn't have the power to run anywhere near playable fps in DCS before so now I've started with the Super Carrier and f-18C hornet models to begin with and see how well my i7-10700K, rtx 2070 Super, 32 gb Vengeance 3200 spd ram, nvme x 2 and ssd x 2 had. Hopefully it'll be smooth enough fps without having to do any radical settings changes off the bat as there's so much more learning and info for me to take in here in DCS World VR.
Thanks for posting these turbo training sessions!!!

Still the best module...

It's 3 am for me right now and I can't wait to watch this new gr video
