Charly_Owl Posted September 22, 2020 Author Share Posted September 22, 2020 Hi folks! Last January, Eagle Dynamics dubbed 2020 to be the "Year of the Hornet". With a brand new air-to-ground radar, SLAM cruise missile and an updated LITENING II targeting pod, many sections of my Hornet guide became obsolete. Therefore, I eventually had to begin the very long and complex process of going back through everything and planning what had to be changed and what had to be added. A few hundred gallons of coffee later, there we are. We all know other updates will eventually come, but let's not think about it too hard for now. The F/A-18C Hornet guide update is now available! See first post. Changelog: (22/09/2020) Start-Up procedure updated for INS update Carrier takeoff procedure updated for Supercarrier Radar acquisition modes clarified ACM radar mods clarified JHMCS operation clarified Targeting Pod updated Added AIr-to-Ground Radar MAP & Expanded modes Weapon section re-structured Updated JSOW tutorials Updated JDAM tutorials Updated GBU-12 tutorial Fuel Dump clarifications Master Modes clarifications Engine section expanded Fuel section expanded AGM-84E SLAM tutorials added MK20 Rockeye tutorial added AGM-65 IR Maverick tutorial with tgp added AGM-65E Laser Maverick tutorial updated HSI (Horizontal Situation Indicator) section expanded RWR symbology clarified (N, I, A, U, F) Landing tips added (including HUD declutter and velocity vector caging) Overall, a lot of new stuff crammed in there... the page count went from 350 to 530+ pages. Once again, if you guys still have any suggestions, recommendations or corrections, please let me know. 4 1 Chuck's DCS Tutorial Library Chuck's Guides on Mudspike Chuck's Youtube Channel Chuck's Patreon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
