Former Legacy and Super Hornet avionics technician here, man seeing that cockpit took me back. You guys did a helluva job. BTW we pronounced the JHMCS "Jammics" or just called it the joint helmet. Yeah, not a very sexy acronym 😉 Can't wait to see how the ATFLIR is modeled, that was my baby.
Actually, depends on who you talk to. We have several SMEs that call it as pronounced in the video.
As Christopher Walken once said, "you say potato, I say potato." 😁
a legacy hornet avinics technician ? how old are you :O ...this is soo cool
I want this guy to narrate my life
When I read things written by most people I read it in the standard voice in my head. When I read things I know are written by Wags I can't not read it in his voice.
SAME XD
Tracomaster same
I have been a F404 powerplant mech for the past several years with the Marines. It's nice to see a proper Legacy Hornet simulation hit the community. Great work to DCS!
Wags, it's magnificent, hands down. With the push forward for new levels of realism in the map systems, and a full study sim akin to the A10C, you guys have set a new benchmark for the flight sim genre with the F-18, congratulations.
Matt - "now in some ways this is our successor to the DCS A-10 Warthog.."
Me - YAY :D
Matt - "but it will be in fact much more *complicated* and deep product.."
Me - ....Dammit
Jokes (and possible lack of brain power) aside, the bird looks fantastic and I'm really looking forward to getting stuck in to it.
Also, "Hey, what's that Viper doing there??" 0:02
Please Matt. Don't tease.

Wow, nicely spotted on the Viper! Having worked on it when I was in the Air Force, I can't wait for oner in DCS...
Where's the Viper?
ryanyomomma You ought to make a video guide. I’d watch it 👍
Amazing graphics. A few years ago you'd only see this level in extremely expensive computers that no individual could own. Good job.
Finally a successor to Jane's FA18! - Rally looking forward to this one!
Matt has one of the most beautiful voice I ever heard ... given that, he is also a genius, bringing to life all of this.. just a big thank you from the bottom of my child heart , I love you all, all you doing is just liquid pure gold... everything
Bought hornet about 8 weeks ago. After thumbling, making two notebooks full of notes, have kinda flow 8hours a day, sometimes more. It was swetty job, but goddam whada feeling, when passing serpents head campaign, included two weeks of air to air refueling brute forcing, (which nearly drived me totally insane, but good that it is out from the way from very beginning, in the 30 kn crosswind, with small tanker, and crappy hotas. Now i got it.) in mission 3 :D But now its done. Thank you for one of the best computer gaming experiences I have had, in my 40 years of gaming. :) Wanted to note this here, because this was the very first tutorial I watched while downloading the mod itself, when bought.
I cannot WAIT for the F/A-18C to come out for DCS! I've been waiting so long for this. The graphics are so sweet. And I don't mind the fact that it's a charlie model rather than an E/F considering it's still in service.
Looking fantastic the carrier trap at the end was smooth and beautiful this would be a great addition this year 🙏
Like others, the wait is driving me crazy. As a former Hornet maintainer and have flown in it a few times, I'm looking forward to the product to test its authenticity. Thanks for the update and looking forward to the next video.
Good video, thank you for sharing the info with us. The cockpit looks GREAT GREAT!! Can't wait!!
I just can't believe the graphics. Absolutely stunning technology
As an aspiring naval aviator, I can't wait for this!!
After 2.5yrs on ARMA3 and 6mths on BF3 (my first PC game)... I have now discovered DCS and my first aircraft is this baby.... omfg(osh). The learning curve is just ridiculous, but sooo cool.
Ok, I'm sold, name your price? Stop making so darn good addons, nice work.
Wow, looks incredible. Can't wait to play.
Very well narrated Matt. Great work!
I love it. The Hornet hype is starting to finally feel real. Can't wait for the next video. Nice landing there. Three wire trap? Doesn't look like the Nimitz class is getting a facelift though.
BelGeode pause at 10:12
I'm pretty sure the tower is WAY more detailed than the default.
Yeah the textures DO look great, but I am referring to adding things like tugs, deck crew, etc. There is that CVN-77 mod that has all those extras in there, which definitely add to the feel of the carrier. But hey, I am just glad I can do Navy carrier ops soon™...
It's an early alpha.
That works for me! Thanks Wags!!
65 ft long no way Jose that's almost the size of the foxbat. its more like 45-58 feet long and the engine produce 32,000 each at full burner sooooo c'mon dcs.
Thanks Matt!!!!!
Been waiting since 2012........Better late than never!!! Cannot wait to get my hands on her!!!!!........
Keep up all that hard work!!!
looks incredible. can't wait to fly this baby for hundreds of hours
Very excited for this Matt :)
Look forward for the future videos
I can't wait for this module! It's going to be the best ever! Take my money already!
I love this jet! I hope I will once have chance to get it as well as the new thrustmaster joystick that will be a Hornet's center stick and throttle replica.
That's the most comprehensive F/A-18 overview I have ever heard. Very interested to see how the 73 and 67 systems run up. The avionics simulations will make or brake this platform.
GIMME GIMME GIMME! lol can't wait any longer, keep it up ED!
I want the Eurofighter Typhoon for DCS 😍
rostiger ritter Lol. Ain't gonna happen till... Like 2030, it's still pretty damn classified. Good luck finding a good source on the EF typhoon.
@@carsonprince3634 Can we see an F22 in DCS?
@@farzana6676 The F22 is in the same classification, if not more classified. So no, we won't be seeing an F22 other than mods.
@@carsonprince3634 That's really sad. That's my dream aircraft. It looks so beautiful and the angular shape and design is just perfect.
@@farzana6676 It is, but that is just the truth. I wouldn't be too keen to give away classified info for your average Joe, would you?
Incredible video and the capabilities and the information on this . fighter jet are impressive ....I do greatly appreciate it too thank you so much...
paristo I do agree with you..they are enjoyable...Thank you so much for your answer to..
Ive watched this so many times, so excited for this module!!! Give us part 3 Wags!! Or better yet give us the module :)
good job matt, tgank you for making these
Looking very nice indeed! This might be the only thing that prises me out of the cockpit of my Flanker :)
Looks awesome! Can't wait!
I hope that the sounds are with good quality and recorded from real F/A-18C... in next video please can you make the sounds louder so we can also hear this beauty :)
really looking forward, and you made a beautiful work. thanks Matt and your team.
PHENOMINAL product! Looks like the real thing, can you imagine flying this in vr. Oculus rift??? W o w, can't wait...
Graphics are insane. No amount of addons can make FSX or Prepar3d this good
It'll be worth the wait, but I can't wait!! Take my money!
This is so good. Love what ED is givning me so far (3 years with 2 friends). This i s a playground for us wannabes and.. I THANK YOU.. making a dream come thrue. Dont mind the negativ things, this is really good. Best regards IMPELLER
I am throwing my money at the screen but nothing is happening? Going to try credit cards next
UPDATE: Still nothing :(
lmao im gonna just play it in vr on steam. I suggest you do the same haha
lol people blindly throwing money to incomplete stuff
Thanks Matt!
cant wait for this...
Can not wait for this one! Will be the most epic DCS aircraft yet (and that's saying something). I just hate it when Wags talks about the "coming months" ..still a while to wait unfortunately.
Looks amazing.
Great video thank you!
I think I'm too excited for this module.. like.. the kind of excited that makes me want to drop $200 to buy a new computer power supply to power a new $100 graphics card to run this..
(and this video came out on my birthday, thanks Matt, definitely the best present I got!)
Dustin Glenn Happy birthday man! I'm the 9th of july :)
What video card is $100 right now? Godamn bastard cryptominers ruined the video card market.
Dustin Glenn where are those hundred dollar gpus?
Its really amazing that you guys managed to simulate Lot 20 the last hornet version before super hornets. Looking forward to this module. Used to be in VNAO (Virtual Naval Air Ops) using Flaming Cliffs like 10 years ago and I'm sure everyone from that group wherever they are now will surely appreciate a fully simulated old school hornet :)
@Matt Wagner Are there any plans for also a fully simulated aircraft carrier as well, maybe even as a DLC?
Awesome!! Thank you.
Now all we need is Dynamic Campaigns, to make use of that awesome Bird.
looking good Wags. wasn't ever a fan of the sewer horror until fairly recently, so I'm optimistic.
its about damn time
wow, amazing graphics
Looks dope
In 2021 Eagle Dynamics is finally promoting an aircraft to full release status that has been in Early Access for years. The developers have promised a simulation of the aircraft and weapons plattform to never before seen detail accessible to civilians. For years they kept pushing new features, improving the flight model and now, years later they have finally succeeded. Eagle Dynamics officially call it the DCS F/A-18C Hornet but the flyers call it:
The Wagnermobile
(Queue Harold Faltermeyer, F/A-18C ascending the decklift of the DCS Supercarrier. Thank you Wags, thank you ED!)
Finally a flight sim where there is a real sense of speed!
IS THIS HEAVEN?
Great!
How long do you anticipate until the next bunch of systems are complete?
Can't wait!
404 Flap not found
pun intentional? Cuz the aircraft's callsign is 404
aye :P
And it has F404 engines.
youve got a hole in your right wing
Great videos and great plane modeled. The only critique I have with your video is JHMCS, military verbiage. The legacy guys just say J-Macks but the Canadians and Super guys call it J-Hammicks.
Can't wait til this thing is available along with the F-18 stick. Always been waiting for F-18 stick, with it's slightly left offset, since Suncom back in the early 2000s.
Can we expect cold Carrier 'ramp' starts, rather than just cat hot starts like dcs currently has?
Yeah I’d say so
The graphics in this are out of this world. I'm aboir to purchase a pre-built with 17-8700k, and a GTX 1070 hope it will get me 60 frames. I don't mind cutting some sliders.
1:42 GOOD LORD WAS THAT A DAMN VALVE REFERENCE?!
And this DCS flight simulator can be fully flown with Oculus Rift headset (VR is the ultimate feeling of intense immersion!) just like the new Flight Simulator 2020? Looks like two absolute amazing flight simulations are inbound on PC!
Combined with a new carrier and the SOH-Map, this will be propably the end of my real life ;)
I have already let my child know that daddy has to go away for a while
OMG finally! An F/A-18!
Great, thanks for the vidéo
Really excited to get her but I also like flying russian aircraft we need a more advanced Russian Aircraft Like Su30MKi mig29ovt balance will be off in game once the hornet
is out the biggest disappointment was the SU27 SM being canceled so we will have 1980s r73s 27s vs late 90s American hardware hope to see a modern russian aircraft soon. great work on F18
FINALLY some realistic carrier landings! Also, is this what all of the water will look like in DCS 2? Looks a lot better than 1.5.
Just WOW!
There's a small mistake with the model of the F/A-18. It has those add-on fins atop the leading edge extensions made by Patria which are only on Finnish Hornets, not on US-used hornets.
this graphics are just insane!!!
REMEMBER F18 hornet the game.
Loved that game.
Can’t wait for it to release!……oh wait am I just travel through time?
Way cool! If this is at the same depth as the A10C then I want it!
on buy list !!!
Oh man lets go!!!!
My 3 year old son noted that the even while flying as a blue angel, when you eject the pilot's uniform changes back to the standard OD green flight suit. Perhaps this will be modified in the future.
Very nice hope to fly the Baby soon
I have watched this video 3 times now, bloody hype train
i still love the F15.....
Hi Matt
I've just purchased the f18 and having a bit of problem learning the screens etc.
If I follow your clips in progression will it help me?
Thanks
Matt, good day.
Tell me, how did you achieve the effect of beautiful sea water? I have version DСS World 2.7 but there is no wave, and there is no white foam on the crest of the wave... the view of water in version 2.7 is very ugly, as if a dark flat mirror... Tell me how to fix it. And the question about the keelboat trail from the ships... - it is very short and weakly expressed, i.e. poorly visible... Can you please tell me how to fix this? Perhaps you use some additional texture mode to display them more beautifully? Respectfully, Mazit
Shut up and take my money. The C Hornet is my favorite fighter of all time.
I wanted this since I was 12 years old
F/A-18 Interceptor on the Amiga was my baptism ;)
I would love this for P3D
I noticed the carrier doesn't have a working ball during the trap in the video. Hope you guys are going to include one?
omg im totally getting this addon 79 bucks but such a realistic experience.
Wags, i ask this question all the time but you never answer me. Will the pylons be removable if running a clean config on the f-18?
F15C has that option but we will see...
true
that was cool
I'm new to DCS World, I noticed on the pre-order section that it states it incompatible with the Steam version. Should I delete the steam version and install DCS directly from the DCS website in order to fly this plane on release date?
How can you move the camera around like in the beginning?
Thats my question too
I can see how it would be a more complicated product - because the real life F-18 is far more complex than the real life A-10. Ground mapping radar, air to air radar, all the multi role weapon capability (air to air, air to ground, +anti ship), and that makes for quite an avionics package compared to the A-10.
That said, DCS is about to solidify their already concrete foundation even further with this module. No one else in the industry comes close to Eagle Dynamics and what they've done so far, and I couldn't imagine any company out there ever catching up to them.
Looks awesome :D 2questions.
1: Will the VFA-83 Rampagers skin be there?
2: Can you have the "buddypod"?
antimonni thx for the answer :)
FINALLY.......
Hi there. Thanks a lot for your video. I have two questions: Where do I get this game? Is there any possibility to fly with F-4E or F-16? Thanks a lot.
hi
are these videos in ur channel about f18 and f16 are training missions come in game when purchase the mentioned planes or just watchable videos on youtube ?
and if they are youtube videos .. are there missions comes with the planes in the game ?
A few of the videos are from included training missions, but most are not. Yes, all aircraft come with some missions and there is a file server for players to share missions. www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/filter/type-is-single/apply/
@@MattWagner
i just picked this one "f-16" as a free trail...and i'm still in star up lesson...but there's one thing annoys me ... and it's how to look around with the mouse in the cockpit i searched in controls adjustment and found nothing
@@yasinamr5457 Toggle Left Alt + C
Awesome!
When is release date?
Beautiful aircraft, which map is this?
I have never seen these effects at sea ...
Fantastico man, tks, this map is really a show!
Imagine this with Rift CV2 And i do hope night time carrier landings! woah
Will a E/F model, or the "Super Hornet", be included with the F-18C?
No. however, cortex designs are well on their way on delivering a superhornet free mod for the community
Matt Wagner you should do a guided meditation video.
