AG-51_Razor Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Wags, can you comment on whether or not this system will be modeled in the Hornet? https://news.usni.org/2016/06/30/navys-magic-carpet-simplifies-carrier-landings-interim-fielding-fall [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revelation Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 According to the article it is still in testing and will go into service in the Fall. It also mentions Super Hornets as being capable, no mention of legacy Hornets. Wags / ED announced we are getting a 2000'ish airframe, so my assumption would be no.

AG-51_Razor Posted January 13, 2018 Author Share Posted January 13, 2018 Yeah, I just read a couple more articles on it and they all make reference to the Super Hornet :doh: Oh well, we wouldn't want it to be too easy anyway, would we? :lol: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revelation Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 The Legacy Hornet still has an automatic carrier landing system in place. Win 10 Pro 64Bit | 49" UWHD AOC 5120x1440p | AMD 5900x | 64Gb DDR4 | RX 6900XT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingscotsman Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Auto carrier landing....I thought the Navy pilots prided themselves on getting on deck in any weather etc. I.E. if at first you don’t succeed, then Navy Pilot is not for you, lol. Il’ll still be testing that strong landing gear ha ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drPhibes Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 OT, but "Maritime Augmented Guidance with Integrated Controls for Carrier Approach and Recovery Precision Enabling Technologies" has to be one of the dumbest backronyms in US military history.

Nope. When the have an acronym for multiple-combined acronyms is when it gets retarded.

probad Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 (edited) imo kepd 350's mephisto "Multi-Effect Penetrator HIghly Sophisticated and Target Optimised" warhead is still the most cringe-inducing backronym ive seen to date anyways i always find it extremely ironic that people would desire to experience a carrier aircraft yet then ask for automated landing Edited January 13, 2018 by probad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delareon Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 anyways i always find it extremely ironic that people would desire to experience a carrier aircraft yet then ask for automated landing ...followed by people spending 60 bucks and more for a highly accurate simulation and then hit auto start up :megalol: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
