/images/notams/notams21/dcs0330.jpgPosted on Facebooks is a new video from DCS showing the CoupledAutopilot mode for their F/A-18C Hornet (coming in the nextupdate). Coming in our next big update for the Hornet, the Coupled Autopilotmode allows the aircraft to automatically fly to a set location. Thiscan be a waypoint, TACAN station, or target (TGT) location when inAUTO delivery mode. When paired with the AUTO waypoint function on theHSI, it also allows hands-off navigation when flying through a seriesof waypoints. When in Coupled Mode, the course line to reach the setlocation may also be adjusted. Source

/images/notams/notams21/iris0119/iris-1.jpgIRIS Simulations have shown off some early WIP images of theirupcoming Hornet (F/A-18C) for MSFS. /images/notams/notams21/iris0119/iris-2.jpgWith the F/A-39 Vampire coming along nicely, we're now at a stageto show off something else coming this year exclusively for MSFS! The Classic Hornet (F/A-18C) will be in development once theVampire arrives and will be our first 'premium' product for the MSFSplatform this year. We had four fast movers planned over the next 24 months and the Bugpipped them all at the post (I won't say what the others are justyet!) Personally, it's my favourite fast jet (yes, even beats the Hawk)and while I know others are planning on this airframe, It's somethingwe at IRIS have wanted to do for a number of years now. More info as we progress. Source IRIS Simulations Announces F/A-39 Vampire

/images/notams/notams19/dcde1112.jpgHere is some news from DC Designs and their soon to be releasedF/A-18E/F/G package for both FSX and P3D: Object un-wrapping and ambient occlusion maps completed today onthe undercarriage - the Hornet has a really complex arrangement so Iwanted to use AO to really bring it to life. Final texturing will bedone tomorrow. I also mapped the attach points for moving lights, inthis case navigation lights to the folding wings and landing light tothe oleo leg - Prepar3D looks awesome with dynamic lighting inplay. Also, a quick update on the color schemes chosen for the FA-18Super Hornet package: FA-18E; VFA-143 "Pukin' Dogs", VFA-31"Tomcatters" and VFA-27 RoyalMaces" (CAG)FA-18F; VFA-103 "Jolly Rogers" (CAG), VFA-213 "Black Lions"(CAG)and VFA-41 "Black Aces"EA-18G; VAQ-140 "Patriots", VAQ-139 "Cougars" and 6 Squadron, Royal Australian Air ForceSource
