Well... looks like my DCS addiction is going to last awhile longer. That glorious texture resolution!

Looking good! Nice little trivia on the (non)use of the recovery system. And they say Jets have no souls...

Very good overview Matt. I have flown this in real life and the DCS cockpit looks like the real thing. You have done an outstanding job here. I will pre-order when it becomes available.

Seriously Waggs, at this point even a short video of you having breakfast would give us a recharge until episode 3 comes out J. Its looking really sweet, I can't wait!

I think this is going to be my first pre-order... ever

Very well done Sir. These videos really should be available in-game. I truly enjoy this plane, I first started in it with the 'Super-Hornet' game, win98? That was long ago, and it sure feels great to be in it again and get proper instruction. Absolutely brilliant work done on all this; DCS, the plane, and these vids. Thankyou very much.

Love it. Great work on the Cockpit. So much DCS goodness on the horizon. :)

Looks incredible..and the information you explain different things wow ..Awesome job on this video too..Thank you so much for your videos and I greatly appreciate it..

Your killing me by not releasing this module Mr.Wagner. I can't bring myself to bear re-watching this video over and over again until I have every one of the avionics switches memorized. I like these tutorials please keep them coming!!!!!!!

Great job Wags! I can't wait to hop in for a spin. Keep up the good work.

Thank you for taking time to make this video. Very clear presentation - I hope to understand it all one day :)

Can't wait! Been a while since I was so excited for a new module. I'll be getting the Thrustmaster stick for it too as soon as it's available.

This is a very nice video. Thank you for putting it together!

Awsome! I'm SOOO stoked for this!

Hopefully we get to see an F-16 one day..

Us Hornet Bubbas that have spent many years working on this aircraft are drooling right now. Also love the realism of the worn knobs and such. A lot of attention to detail. Now lets release this already!!

Looks very promising, cannot wait to fly it.

I was just thinking about the module this morning and when the next video would be, neat.

I appriciate the walkthroughs even when some content is outdated. One thing i would propose as a improvement is black background around the text boxes on the AMPCD. Currently it is not easy to read out the text boxes since the map background reduces a clear contrast. Thank you!

This is going to be my first PFM. I have only been flying FC3 aircraft for this past summer to get my scan down. Going to learn this thing inside and out.

my winter schedule has now been formally set, all other plans have been cancelled and replaced with F/A-18C familiarization...

Wags, there is something wrong with your video.... It ends :)

This is going to take 1 year to learn to fly completely AWSOMEEE :))

Really Awsome, can´t wait to buy it. You guys are one of a very small hand of developer i would like to give my money.

PGS Andy? Is that you? "And here's the clean channel"

wake up... open the youtubes, "new video by Matt Wagner" XD !!!!!!!!!! F/A-18! (knock on door) its UPS with my Thrustmaster warthog! Best. Day. Ever.

added to favorites

Can't wait for ep 3

Cant wait for the ability to setup and do some Red October Training... :) F/A-18 Vs German Mig-29's Over Normandy yes yes yes....

Looks like new Black Sea map and some new clouds. I want to see that more in future Hornet videos! Also is the bakcground music a new theme for the Hornet in the DCS World GUI?

can't wait :D

Well, seems very promising. I hope that EDGE 2.5 will be out at same time. Nice vid BTW

Love DCS WORLD and this new Babe !!

Nice!

Wow! Interesting.

I was admiring the new Caucasus 2.5 (Airfield and trees WOW!) until I noticed F/A-18C. Love it... both of them.

Holy shit is that the Caucasus? Its barely recognisable compared to the 1.5 map!!!!!!!!!!! My god you guys are amazing at what you do. Can't wait to fly over it for the first time

Hello. Nice plane! Is it Caucasus 2.0 map?

Are there plans to release a carrier based scenario (or missions) along with this?

Mr Waggs, great video. Just getting back into DCS after 18 month house move, bought this in 50% sale and...WOW! AT 5:15, the throttles disappeared. I have been trying to find out how you do this and a forum search only takes me to wish list items, with the subsequent realism vs functionality arguments. Please, is there a key combination to hide the throttles?

Hey Matt, can you elaborate on carrier ops in the hornet? How much emphasis will be placed on making realistic carrier operations versus the weapons, etc.

@MattWagner is there any way to hide the throttle just like the stick can ? I am not able to see the strobe, formation, wing and position switches unless I move the throttle forward. I tried the camera transpose by holding the middle mouse button to move around the cockpit, but I cannot see them regardless. Thank you

When will this be available?? Looks incredible!

Where is the next video ? been waiting a wile

I donno if I am more excited for the F/A18C or the AV8B

The aircraft looks amazing! Is there any chance we'll also see F16 for DCS in the future as well?

GREAT A NEW AIRCRAFT FOR DCS JUST AS I STARTED SAVING FOR A VIVE

Hell yeah

Is that a new Caucasus Map on the background in the beginning of the video?

Thanks a lot... |:-)

waiting for episdoe three :D

your voice is great

will there be any more Redfor Jets coming anytime soon?

How do you get your camera to move so, well dynamically?

Any more videos on it in the works?

Matt: Simply INCREDIBLE MilFltSim. This is AS GOOD AS IT GETS. Here is my Obvious Question, any Projected RELEASE DATE for DSC F/A-18C. Based on your Videos this MilFltSim has progressed quite Far at this time.

Red Vs Blue, carrier based multiplayer furball's... 12 players max. 40NM apart starting distance. That shit would be sick, having to land back on the carrier to re-arm then launch again to get back in the fight. I hope this is how it's going somewhat.

OMG ITS THE VOICE

I have already bought FC3, M2000, F5, Viggen, and Nevada... And now F-14 and F-18 will come :D Would not be surpriced if the Gripen is also in the making ;)

I'm thinking 2018 is gonna be one heck of an AMD Threadripper, Thrustmaster, HTC Vive, DCS F-18 kind of year

Going from the mig21 to this is going to be like going from an old farm truck to a luxury sports car

Matt Wagner, When will this be released?

When will the next video release be? Seriously cannot wait for this.

It's going to take me 10 years to learn how to fly this thing.

Did I read somewhere that Thrustmaster is working on a new F-18 HOTAS for use with this module?

Where can I find the background music for this video

Does anyone know if this module will support multi-role cockpits? Like the L-39C Where in multi-player you could have a buddy ride along? I know historically the F/A-18 Did have a second seat.

when will you do the next video??? I cant wait!

Will be there a flight manual with the release? Or have we to use the original?

All little boys want to fly this plane and now we can!!👍🥓👨🏼‍✈️

who cant wait for the Thrustmaster Hornet Stick?!!!!

is it posible to do mission like anti radar strikes and anti ship strike on this dcs mode

When does the F/A-18 will be released?

I'm seriously about to drop $500-$800 to upgrade everything for this module..

Anyone have a guessing when it will be release?

can you do a setup control in the f18

I cannot find where to buy this? Can you help please?

When is this making its debut?

Holy shit it's Krymsk )))

When will it be available ?

damn it Matt Wagner, release it already!@

when is this going to release?

spin recovery switch! thats sweet! boo ya grandma~

Bubbling with anticip......................pation

Where's the episode 3!?

You should add the condensation that comes out of the a/c system.

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!

So will be also JHMCS?

...Wait did Wags just hint at a Helmet Mounted Display by talking about the HMD Sensor, if I remember correctly not all C/D models have the HMD sensor installed....

can you play the f18 on 1.5?

Will they continue this video series as they're getting closer to release?

Saw this yesterday on Facebook. Epic! ED ftw ;) (oh, and also BST)

Matt you have a very unique speaking style - what is up with that?

TAKE MY MONEY

when this bird will be available to purchase in dcs?

WHERE IS PRE-ORDER BUTTON, I CAN'T HOLD ANYMORE

My gawd wags

Any news on the startup video?

If you tortured me any harder with previews, we'd have to get PETA involved...

Hey wags ask your pilot friends about "See you next time"
