DCS: RHINO BALL 

as cool as it would be to see the super hornet in dcs we prob wont see it in the game for a while since the aircraft is still in service

@@phil7896 Yeah I guess I didn’t think of that, I'm glad we at least had a decent mod to mess around with

@@phil7896 Heatblur or more specific True Grit currently develops an Eurofighter Module for DCS, so who knows, we might get one sooner or later.

@@finnm.2582 thats a older airframe tho plus who knows how accurate its gonna be systems wise in the end anyway

@@possiblyadickhead6653 Nope. First of all: The F-18E was put into Service in 1999, the Eurofighter Typhoon was put into Service in 2006. The Superhornet entered mass production in 1997, the Eurofighter in 2003. Second: It will be as adequate and realistic as it can be, the CEO of Truegrit is a former EF Typhoon and F-4E/F Pilot. He was one of the first Pilots who have flown the Eurofighter. Yes, we "only" get a Tranche 1 Eurofighter, but we will get the modern weaponry which includes IRIS-T and Meteor Missiles.

Just for giggles I did that in a recent personal campaign, last mission. The intro song played during startup, then as soon as 1-2 speed hit 40 on the cat, music on. I always let 2 and 3 launch first so they don't all have to chase me.

thanks Jamie!

you can get the DCS SuperBug mod but it overwrites the default hornet

Fellow Tomcat guy who just picked up the Hornet two days ago. I am having fun flying it, and would love to see the Super Hornet proper one day.

If the F/A-18F module came to DCS no one would fly any other module.

thank you Pete!

thank you!

Fighter pilots make movies. Bomber pilots make history. Hornet pilots do both and beep the prom queen.

thank you for the support sir!

thanks Kim

until you start flying in vr

bingo

@@hhhaze Nice, this was a good watch.

The good thing is that performance wise the Rhino is pretty much the same as the good old legacy Hornet.. it has bigger engines but its heavier too and can carry much more fuel and ordinance.. the extra pilons, extra range would be the interesting part.. and of course simulating the lower RCS and better AESA radar

Because he can

NOT AEROBATICS! BFM maneuvers

thanks Jon

Easier to get data at the time.

It’s too classified even the lot 20 hornet we have is some speculation in some aspects

It's for those who are really invested and love flight sims, I was hesitant buying something so expensive too, but I got better and better and now I think they are worth it, the experience you get from them, the sheer amount there is to learn, and I want to support the development of future planes too.

you can try all of them for a 2 week period

A more in-depth answer, DCS on it's own comes with the SU-25T Frogfoot and an unarmed version of the P-51 Mustang. Every module is available for a two week trial on it's own, so you can do a trial of the F-18, let it expire then do a trial on the F-16. Trials reset six months after you use them. I highly recommend the SU-25T, it may be free and not a clickable cockpit, but it's a very capable ground attack aircraft. If you are hesitant on spending a ton of money for a top-tier module, I suggest the Flaming Cliffs 3 DLC, it's a pack of 7 simple planes, all very much good modules for $50, which is the best deal on the store. Oh also new users get 50% off their first purchase on any module.

yea they still doing it

a few years ago someone started a superhornet project but threw in the towel. im pretty sure a lot of the stuff is still very hush hush, like the radar.

probably in the late 20s. people used to say the apache will never come back in like 2015

Disagree. Way too muted.

you mean the hornet?

@@hhhaze the mod yea
