Konichiwa everyone,

 

We hear you and understand your wish for more news about the Hornet project. Virtually all the work is in code at this time, but I can say that work continues and the electrical, hydraulic, and gear systems are all almost complete. The next step will be to tie these systems into the cockpit. Other systems have been tied to the cockpit and the HUD symbology integration is on-going. Once that task is complete, we can begin work on the flight model prototype.

 

The cockpit is done though and includes functionality for JHMCS. What weapon systems will be included in the Early Access is TBD.

 

As mentioned earlier in the year, it’s our hope to release the Hornet into early access by the end of the year. However, that is only a best estimation at the time and many things can alter this. Only a date announced with the start of a pre-purchase should be taken as a date you can bank on. We are quite accurate with such dates.

 

When there is more information to pass along on this project, we will do so.

 

Thanks

DCS F/A-18C OFP 13C, Lot 20, ATFLIR

 

Lot 20.

In FY98, Lot 20 series F/A-18C/D Aircraft were delivered, integrating the Phase II AN/APG-73 RUG, ATARS, Joint Direct Attack Munitions, Joint Stand Off Weapon, and EGI to meet the precision navigation capability that future weapon systems require. EGI provides an all-altitude, worldwide source of navigation and attitude information.

This is not new info brother....wake me when it's released.

Boomer,I don't believe it was known exactly what time period Hornet DCS had been working on,This confirms it is Lot.20 series.or as I understand it as 20th year of production.This tells us the Radar and systems that will be available.

I'd love to but I'm neck deep in the Hornet manual and systems implementation with the SMEs (we have two Hornet pilots that also play DCS) and engineers.

[Boomer 1,619]

Excellent.

The detail put into the cockpit is amazing! Really looking forward to flying the F/A-18C.

 Hornet Update

As with the DCS World 2.5 update, it was also decided last week that the Hornet Early Access will be pushed beyond our original desire to release by the end of this year. As mentioned a couple of weeks ago, we are now very busy coding the various cockpit systems and flight dynamics. However, as this work continues and we acquire new information, the level of complexity has become more apparent and it will take more time than first estimated.

When we do have significant news on the project to share, we will certainly do so. Once the Early Access for this project goes into pre-purchase, we will announce its release date then.

2017 then.  Thats okay now as I am using those funds to buy the pending PMDG 744v2 for P3d.

This is going to rock! I am so far behind on DCS updates.

if you use p3d, then it is a very good alternative to spend your money on. unfortunately i uninstalled it so i just rely on dcs :(. i  think i will buy f-5

[flyerkg 62]

I am considering the F-5 as well.

[Boomer 1,619]

I have the F5 and dont fly it, it is NOT a valid stop gap for the F18.  Frankly, the jet itself is crappy IMHO.
