Really though, I'm sure it is very easy to fly. But flying it effectively for a mission is what takes the extra 549 days. Lol. It's kind of like picking up a knife. Super easy! Fighting with it, not so easy. Also if you don't put the knife down just right you die 😂
There's a bit more to in in the real aircraft... as in, years and years of training :) I'm also sure that DCS leaves out anything that's classified. To start completely from cold, the real aircraft probably requires a security code that's set by the ground crew and is given only to the pilot when he climbs in. If it does, you're not going to see it in an entertainment sim :)
@@devilsoffspring5519 there is a code created daily for each aircraft that comes directly from the prime ministers office. If inputted incorrectly too many times the aircraft will go into a limp mode rendering it useless until an AVS technician recomputes the mil spectrometer. A new code must then be entered.
@@devilsoffspring5519 are you referring to the IFF mode 4 codes and the crypto variables? afaik, you can start and take off with the aircraft with little external help...which is modeled in DCS... the only things that arent modeled are specific IFF, have quick, and ky-58 besides some other stuff.... besides you are supposed to have a DTC /mumi in the real aircraft in order to load system data...
I have a very good impression toward Canada armed force! During SF fleet week, I board a Canada war ship, the crew really treat me nice and answered all my questions! Go Canada armed force!
Just amazing aerobatic solo! Very beautiful flight and lots of maneuvers that you see very rare, when flying F/A-18 C solos around the globe. Finnish Air Force has been taken lots of trophys in airshows. For example Capt. Ville Uggeldahl 2015 in RIAT airshow and latest Capt. Lauri Mäkinen in RIAT 2018 airshow. This pilot is just outstanding!
The CF18 is what we normally use. The CF188 is the official term which we use in our LogBooks and other external documents. Amongst Fighter Pilot, we will use F18 or Hornet. A-C-E models are all single seater. The B-D-F are all dual seater. The Canadian Forces have the A & B models which have received extensive upgrades to avionics. The E-F models are a different aircraft all together and much much larger. Hom
Dear Cinnabun. From Capt. Pierre Mercier, airline pilot for 42 years. I know the similaraty between a motor or an engine but trust me, a "MOTOR" installed on any aircaft ( military or civilian) is called " AN ENGINE" not a motor. Regards.
You're right for the most part. The Hornet has both 1 and 2 seaters; F/A-18C is a single, the F/A-18D is a double...Same for the Super Hornets; F/A-18E is a single, the F/A-18F is a double. Most of the two-seat aircraft are for training purposes, but it's really not limited from anything to my knowledge. Beautiful Aircraft!
I love the Hornet (tried in 1998 to fly one and failed on medical history), but it is so awesome. I actually like the side stick configuration of the F-16 and the F-35 more than the central position.
Look up EA-F18 Growler fighter jet. I think that is what we need more than the F-35. They are planning of totally redesigning it because of the helmet cables and the glitches for the new hud. They have a huge blindspot behind them and where do guns face on an a/c... they will get shoot down in a dogfight as soon as the enemy is behind. It is a great aircraft, but for short term, look for alternatives is my opinion :)
The planes are old but at least they’ve been upgraded with newer avionics and color MFDs. The big thing that was missing was a modern radar but half of the fleet is slated to receive new AESA radars. Plus there is also a buy of the latest AIM-9X Blk 2 Sidewinder missiles which will further increase the lethality of the Hornet.
Here in the UK it makes the newspapers and sometimes the news channels, they dont fly right into the airspace but they buzz it just staying outside and no more, this requires the RAF to scramble to escort them away. However there have been incidents in Canada when they fly right into their airspace.
He's being a positive thinker that's why! If you don't want another life just say so. I'm sure u could be cut loose I'll be back to fly the earlier models of the F-16 Viper. Gonna relive the 80"s ! Lol disco burners
+ahadicow Yo I heard you like to fly while you fly so we hooked up Battlefield in yo F/A-18 so you can shoot down russians while you shoot down russians
Canada and Australia are recognised as the best " small armys" in the world. Neither have huge numbers but in terms of training and firepower we are second to none.
Dear Cinnabun. As far as your initial explanation of a machine that converts one form of energy into a mechanical energy, it is correct but this basic explanation stems from the early days of technology. In our modern era motors convert electrical energy while engines burn a specific fuel to create mechanical energy. Capt. Pierre
I used to not really respect the RCAF as much as I should have...but they did a CF-18 demo at an airshow and flat out embarrassed all the US pilots! The dirty roll, right IMMEDIATELY after takeoff rotation at like 20ft AGL while the gear was still retracting looked soo dangerous. Overall he was just so aggressive it actually scared some people. Made the US demos look pedestrian by comparison. It was awesome.
looooooooolol ...u crack me up breeda Jamaica in the building .....i have all ways loved flying ,and the F -18 is a reall kool jet ...we had on air show the other day here in Jamaica and it was sickkkk....
thats his point, if they replace something with touchscreen, then you have to remove your hands from the throttle or the stick to touch the screen. that would mean that you arent actively flying the plane, at which point you couldnt maneuver if you are in a fight.
Haha, yes. once you get to know them it's really simple. The buttons are usually grouped in categories, so it's easier to remember as you keep doing it. I mean the F16 for example has a much more complex cockpit than the F18, which adds to the overall workload that the pilot has to go through during complex maneuvers. Which is exactly what they are trying to avoid nowadays with new fighters.
The spotlight is about 10" thick. Once the panel is open you can access the 20mm Gun. The gun pretty much takes the entire space inside the nose. Forward of gun but below the barrel is the Radar dish. Hom
I was just curious about the Canada incidents. I'm aware of the northern seas incidents, thanks. (I'm from Russia). I'll dig around, see what I can find, thanks again!
"Ready to go, like on 9/11" the pilot says. That's odd, as NORAD took over an hour to even respond, with operators even unsure of whether it was the drill mimicking the events of 9/11 that was taking place that morning or a real live attack that they were responding to. Who told Norad to stand down?
+Namaste1001 Even if they intercepted the planes they would never shoot down a commercial aircraft in the US back in 2001. I think they would now if they knew a plane was hijacked.
Question: A fighter plane flying at a speed above the speed of sound and making a tremendous noise - can the thunder of the missiles and bombs act inside the warehouses and explode.
Good video! Seen the Hornet a couple of times in England, flying displays and was excellent and most welcome but not up to the standard set by the RAF Typhoon. Different all together.
All the Canadian Forces personnel act at that professional level. That's why a lot of people don't assume the Canadian Forces is any good, we don't glorify our victories.
what an awesome air craft! now this is what every student pilot should learn how to fly after learning on a piper Cherokee 140, then it is time to fly some real planes!
Thats by CANADIAN MILITARY DESIGNATION. the Mcdonnel Dougless/Boeing Aircraft companys actual designation is the CF-18 A (one seat) and the CF-18 B (two seat.
@JetMech72 I'm sure that the intercept spotlight doesn't take up that much space inside the gun bay, not to mention it's sitting inside of door 6 so maybe they scrunched the aiu or just made a thin light

He REALLY wanted everyone to know that he doesnt just do airshows lol Cool fella and awesome aircraft
Being a DCS F/18 pilot is cool cause i know everything hes talking about now
To all airshow hosts out there: JET ENGINES DON'T NEED MUSIC! They make all the noises they need... loud.. louder than you can make noises...
Thanks. I am now qualified to fly a CF-18, Piece of cake
It's always interesting to see chipped paint on something so advanced and expensive. Startling contrast
Just got a new hornet fighter jet ordered online supposed to arrive in 3 business days. Putting it all together will be the hard part.

Hello bro,how are ya doing?
First flew in 1978. Deliveries to Canada began 1982. Nice jet, even if it qualifies for Collector plates.
still in active service in numerous countries
Thanks i needed a refresher before they shove me back into one
could we get a ticket when we use the display joystick while we fly the play ??
Nice boss love from Pakistan
Can't wait to be in the military in a couple of years
So do you see the UK making an order for the newer Super Hornet? I herd the Royal Navy will return to a more modern carrier fleet.
he forgot to say but they also have sidewinders or aim-3 sparrows for air-air combat as well
Thanks man i m gonna go try this now .
its easy on bf4
Kersten Thompson lol yup
not easy on Miscrosft FSX.
Raj Sarkar lol
Raj, which do you fly? The Basic F/A-18C or the complex F/A-18E? The E model is my baby.

I have utmost respect for the 409 tac f sqn, but isn't the top speed of the CF-18 1800km/h? Not 2400km/h?
Great stuff!
Thats by CANADIAN MILITARY DESIGNATION. the Mcdonnel Dougless/Boeing Aircraft companys actual designation is the CF-18 A (one seat) and the CF-18 B (two seat.

Dude. I could totally fly that thing.
when he´s talking of "visula displays", does the F-18 have acoustical displays as well ?
this birds top speed is 1500 mph or Mach 1.9 and is the most maneuverable fighter plane that serves as a multi-role jet
