Keep in mind that while the Hornet is in early access, some systems are missing (sensors, advanced weaponry like SLAM-ERs, Mavericks, Harpoons) but the aircraft itself feels very much usable (see this list of features). we already knew that waypoints can be set in the mission editor… but they can also be edited by using the Waypoint Menu on the DDI and the UFC (Up-Front Controller) keypad and option select buttons to edit the coordinates of existing waypoints. Luckily for us, DCS keeps pushing the boundaries further with each new module. Few developers go to this level of depth for aircraft when it comes to simulating damage and malfunction effects. Also, circuit breakers are functional! For instance, pulling the FCS CHAN 1 breaker will have dramatic effects on the Flight Control System. I am sure you will have a lot of pleasure sinking your teeth in both them.

Goodway flight planner x plane manual#
You will learn that the top speed of a Hornet isn’t limited as much by how well you fly as it is limited by the additional drag generated by your ordnance and the insatiable thirst for jet fuel your engines have.Įagle Dynamics’ Hornet manual is quite exhaustive and the NATOPS manual available on the net is full of juicy tidbits of information as well. You will learn that the engine response has a bit of lag into it. You will learn that the hook under your aircraft that catches wires on a carrier can bounce off the deck if you come in too hot or with a wrong angle of attack. That’s the beauty of a study-level simulation: problems rarely happen just by themselves and most of them can be explained logically if you look into it. So… you started your engines, did the Fire Test and your ECS (Environmental Control System) seems non-functional? Did you forget something? Well, too bad! The Fire Test closes bleed air shutoff valves and requires you to reset them. The Hornet itself is rather simple to operate thanks to automated systems doing most of the hard labor for you (keyword: “most”). I’ve come to the conclusion that they’re very much insane (in a good way).
