    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.
  • 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.

    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!
  • @jbw9999
    Amazing graphics. A few years ago you'd only see this level in extremely expensive computers that no individual could own. Good job.

    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.
  • @TheCraigHudson
    Looking fantastic the carrier trap at the end was smooth and beautiful this would be a great addition this year 🙏
  • @CapitanTavish
    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
  • @VH707FTL
    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.
  • @ReallyVirtual
    Finally a successor to Jane's FA18! - Rally looking forward to this one!
  • Good video, thank you for sharing the info with us. The cockpit looks GREAT GREAT!! Can't wait!!
  • @korrdavl
    I just can't believe the graphics. Absolutely stunning technology
  • @HeyBigChriss
    As an aspiring naval aviator, I can't wait for this!!
  • @HRNTTWK
    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.

    Very well narrated Matt. Great work!
  • 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.
  • @Rimasta1
