Real F/A-18 Pilot Tries DCS F/A-18 For The First Time - Part ONE

There are a lot of features that are not yet implemented in the aircraft that I saw, you know, tactically speaking, and I won't

real

ly get into them. because I know Wags has a plan for some of that stuff, but it's very

real

istic, you know, it's very, you know, it's still very realistic, some flight model stuff that, again, you can't, you can't get, I laughed. . the

first

time

the guy starts forcing G to 4 G and then starts growing to 7, that was the kind of guy who needs to work on his G tolerance there because I know I mean I never had a problem at 7 GS, but I did. whatever you know, actually, that's the other

part

too, when you're pulling G, you know when the G suit inflates, that's how you know you're in that 4G realm.

You know, so you tend to hit it with your fist in the simulator because you don't have that feedback. You know you send it to pull back the lever and things to throw bombs. That means it looked realistic. You know, the automatic bombardment. you know what we use more again, a little difficult because you know where your sensor of interest is to move it to the HUD, you know, I don't know where things are mapped because the castle switch on this plane was similar to the Hornet or sorry . in this control configuration it's similar to the Hornet, but on this plane you know the way we mapped it was to change views so it was a little strange and also the paddle switch was a modifier to do things other than the switch paddle on the Hornet, you know, that's what will disengage the auto

pilot

, that's what you know, when you do an FCS reset, you know, so it has a lot more functions and then the pinky button is obviously the direction of the front wheel and in the real airplane where you know this.

It had actually been mapped to the quick braking stuff, so I think it's a mapping issue for that and then on the blitz itself, you know, the reason it didn't go so well was simply because there's no way to see. use the canopy code, you know, on the plane, you know, the fist above the canopy, right above the canopy, about 45, the fist above us, about 30, which you can look at like an eyeball and see when your limb is in a narrow field of view, you know, I mean. Granted, if this review is obvious, then it might be a little easier, but when you can't move your head and go well with your fist above the canopy, which is about a thirty cord, I'm going to wind it up, it would be easier, so you already know.

I felt a little frustrated and you know, when they dropped the bombs at CCIP, don't do that. I mean, if you're trying to be realistic, don't do that. I was in the shatter pattern, you know, on a pitch of 45. Too low, I mean, that would have been a miss in that range, not good, but I just wanted to get the bombs out and move on to women's next week. Next week I'll talk about the air-to-air side and how that worked and the bug or sorry, the landing phase and then I'll also talk about the ejection, so the spoiler or the little title clip is not clickbait that actually happened , it will just happen next week in the second

part

. it happened in the end and I'll also give my general impressions, you know what I think, you know how close things like that really are and I hope you'll tune in and we'll talk about it a little bit more.
