ricktoberfest Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Loving the pics of the Canada skins. Always loved that Canada kept the fake cockpit on the bottom. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertFriday Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Love all the support and more and more skins. Since we have VFC-12 I’d love to see VFA-204 since they also operate the F/A-18C and they rock a sweet scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad_Max2 Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 This may have already been asked, forgive me if so. I've seen on shows talking about the Hornet that the FBW system can actually level out the aircraft in the case that the pilot blacks out from G's. Has anyone heard if this has been modeled, or if this is even the case in the block we're getting. Just a cool detail that I saw and was curious.

You're thinking of Auto-GCAS (Ground Collision Avoidance System). It's only installed on USAF F-16s AFAIK. 9./JG27 "If you can't hit anything, it's because you suck.

SkateZilla Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Loaded F/A-18 Model in Windtunnel software, w/ Wings Folded, you lose less than 25%% of you surface lift on each wing, And Less than 40% overall, So as the Video was shown w/ only 1500 lbs of fuel and no stores, stall speed increased to 200 knots from about 135-140. I'd say the Flight model is accurate in regards to lift generated. Roll rate would suffer as the airlerons would be locked in the up/aft position.

schurem Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Should also have a TON of drag with the ailerons and leading edge flaps sticking out like that. I5 9600KF, 32GB, 3080ti, G2, PointCTRL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack McCoy Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 (edited) Should also have a TON of drag with the ailerons and leading edge flaps sticking out like that. I think it could actually reduce induced drag, like winglets do. But, with reduced wing area, the AoA would have to increase and consequently increase induced drag...

Guest Guest Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 (edited) Will bandits be able to notch against the APG-73? It's an upgraded APG65 which is a pulse-Doppler radar, but I was wondering if the upgrade made it so you couldn't notch against it.

GGTharos Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 The notch is the price you pay for PD capability. Radars have techniques to make it hard to notch, but it's far from impossible.
