DCS: F/A-18C Hornet - Hornet Mini-Updates

 

This is an introduction video regarding use of the AGM-154C JSOW for DCS: F/A-18C Hornet. The AGM-154C is planned to be included in the next Open Beta release.

 

The AGM-154C is an INS/GPS-guided air-to-surface glide bomb with a BROACH penetrator warhead. It allows excellent standoff range with a powerful and accurately delivered warhead designed to defeat hardened targets.

Because our test team has been focused on the Fw 190 A-8 release, we've been unable to allocate proper testing on the JSOW before an OB release. As such, we'll need to postpone to the 12 June OB. This will also allow us time to complete integration of the JSOW A version (still working on HT fuze settings).

DCS: F/A-18C Hornet - Upcoming AGM-154A JSOW, MSI for LTWS, and PRECISE Mode.

 

THIS IS REGARDING THE NEXT OPEN BETA that will feature the AGM-154A JSOW, Multi-Sensor Integration (MSI) for Latent Track While Scan (LTWS) mode, and an explanation of HSI PRECISE coordinate entry that is currently available.

 

Other Hornet items in work include the Litening targeting pod, Harpoon anti-ship mode, INS and GPS full simulation and alignment, dynamic launch zones for JDAM and JSOW, and initial work on the air-to-ground radar.

DCS: F/A-18C Hornet - Hornet Mini-Updates

 

In the open beta this week we changed/improved the functionality to conduct multiple attacks using the JDAM and JSOW. You can now set targeting for each weapon and assign the weapons to a single mission (MSN) if you wish. This allows you to attack multiple targets without having to change Pre-Planned missions.

 

This video is a quick instruction of how to do this.

First, we’d like to apologize about the confusion regarding MSI inclusion for this last Open Beta update. We had a mild case of left hand not talking to right hand given the time zone differences, language, and needed internal checks. These have since been rectified.

 

The team is working over the weekend to get MSI into a potential hot fix early next week. The silver lining is that it gave us time to complete MSI with correct symbology for only-ownship detection (just brick) vs. donor contact (HAFU)… please see attached.

DCS: F/A-18C Hornet - Case III Radio Communications First Look (WIP).

 

This is a first-look, work-in-progress video at the Case III radio communications that will be part of the DCS: Nimitz-class Aircraft carrier module. There are a few items we are still improving and adjusting, but this provides an understanding of the level of detail planned for these communications.

While not a huge or a rather sexy item, the team has implemented the declutter options for the SA page. It's based on the following declutter levels from pushbutton 7 that in turn displays the following options:

 

OFF. All symbols are displayed

REJ1. The following items are hidden: compass rose, lubber line, and SAM rings.

REJ2: The following items are hidden: REJ1 items and Waypoint/OAP/TGT data, and TACAN data.

MREJ1: Hide air defense symbols (SAM and AAA) and rings.

MREJ2: Hide surface unit symbols (coming later).

 

This is planned for one of the next Open Beta updates.

 

PLID is the next planned SA feature. This will allow you to manually set the contact to friend, hostile, or unknown.

In an upcoming Open Beta we will add (Pilot ID) PLID to the Situational Awareness (SA) page.

 

When pushbutton 2 (PLID) is pressed on the top-level SA page and a track is under the TDC, selecting PLID displays the Pilot ID sub-level that allows you to assign the trackfile HAFU. With no target under the TDC, the PLID option is removed and may not be selected.

 

This can be useful when you have a donor designating a contact as hostile, but you have not used ownship senors to confirm. You can use PLID to set the HAFU as hostile.

 

Next SA page tasks are Expand and Step.

messaggi nel ddi di sx

 

scusate, magari chiedo una cosa ovvia, ma quando nel ddi di sinistra ci sono degli avvisi (inlet ice..o altro) essi coprono "coprono" per tutta la lunghezza il resto dello schermo: di fatto se poi si usa su quel ddi l'SA le info in basso a destra sono oscurate..si può fare qualcosa per eliminare l'avviso??

grazie

fare lo swap e tenere a sinistra pagine che non oscurano info.

 

Ricordo un post di wags che diceva che è così anche nella realtà.

DCS: F/A-18C Hornet - SA Page, Pilot Identification (PLID)

 

In an upcoming Open Beta we will be adding the Pilot Identification (PLID) function to the Situational Awareness (SA) page. PLID allows you to manually set the top half of a HAFU (your identification) for a non-PPLI contact on the SA page. The top half of the HAFU can be manually set to friendly, hostile, or unknown. This video talks about how to use this why you would.

DCS: F/A-18C Hornet - High and Low Angle Strafe

 

This is a short video on the basics of low- and high-angle staffing in the Hornet. A low angle strafe is generally done at a 15-degrees nose down angle, while a high angle strafe is generally 30-degrees. The higher the angle, the greater the concentration of fire on the aim point. You could go greater than 30-degrees, but controlled flight into terrain (CFT) becomes more likely. When done properly, a quick burst of less than 50 round should be enough to destroy unarmored targets.

Here is a great real-world example:

DCS: F/A-18C Hornet - Hornet Mini-Updates

 

Hey everyone, I want to give you a little Hornet update on the targeting pod and other items coming to the F/A-18C. After talking with the team today, the Litening targeting pod will need a bit more time in the oven before we can release it. Given how integral this feature will be for the product, we want to further flesh it out before releasing into an open beta. We do apologize for this delay. Please note that all dates and time projections are best estimates at the time and can change. I mention this a bit here: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=244404

 

In parallel though, other tasks are steaming ahead like new features for the SA page including STEP, EXP, TXDSG, and other elements to complete this system. We are also making great progress on the Harpoon and it went into internal testing today. As noted, before, initial implementation of the air-to-ground radar rendering technology is now being used to create the Real Beam (RB) mode for the radar. Once RB mode is done, we can then use that as the foundation for other modes like SEA, EXP, GMTI, etc. On the GPS-weapon front, work continues on dynamic launch zones for JDAM and JSOW, Track While Scan (TWS) radar mode is underway, and other items and bug fixes.

Quindi entro luglio niente TPOD?

 

 

e no, devi capirli, sono stati impegnati ad aggiornare i camion antincendio degli aeroporti, cosa fondamentale per chi vuole volare sul 18 e sganciare bombe laser. Ma poi un po di pazienza, f18 è solo uscito da 1 anno e 1 mese, non è che si puo' chiedere tutto e subito...

 

 

non ci sono parole per definirli.
