Hmmm... no "meatball" and I can't tell if there's an LSO implemented. Also was expecting a more "busy" flight deck. But minor stuff.... I love how the camera moved from in-pit to an external view to show you the wire animation. Always loved checking which wire I got in Jane's F/A-18, so glad they put that in here as well! Amazing how a simple wire animation can add so much!

I wonder how they're controlling the flaps/gear/hook in the demo though? Maybe just mapped it to a WH throttle switch? One of the base switches perhaps? I find it funny that they've got 2 Cougar MFDs.... mounted under the monitor way out of reach of anything or anyone.

Hiding in the bushes
I hope to see some HD video of the Hornet and the carrier. The boat in the video seems like default ship from the game but I may be mistaken due to low quality of the video.

I'm pretty excited about the Hornet though, probably will be day 1 purche for me aswell.

Also didn't knew about Matt condition, I remember him from Jane's F/A-18 times, sad to hear about his disability.

Cool video. Looks like Rory is throwing that stick around a bit.... I wanted to see her have a go though...

Looks good. Takes me back to my first siming days with Graph Sim's Hornet 2.0. Will wait to see about theater availability and campaign availability before I buy though...

It's nice to finally put a face to a name. I didn't know he was in a wheelchair; anyone knows what happened? Like Genbrien says, is this recent or has he been like this for a while? Just curious.

I know it's been a while - I recall seeing an interview in LOMAC days with him in one. Not sure if it's a condition he was born with though - I just know it's been a while.

Man, I guess I'm going to have to watch the interview now to see what details are to be gleaned.

Is it just me or is there anyone else wanting to strangle that woman?!??!

"How exciting..." *look of utter boredom on her face*
"We made it... we finally made it..." Um, no, not yet. VR is still in it's infancy....
Matt talks about the A-10 and no change in expression in her face at all
"So what console does Thrustmaster work best with?" MUST... RESIST... URGE.... TO.... SMASH!!!!...

My respect for Matt just skyrocketed for not facepalming at that moment. I thought "reporters" were supposed to be familiar with the subject matter or at least do some research first so they can ask "intelligent" questions? I have a feeling the interview would've gone 1,000x better if Rory did the interview and the woman did the flying. Then again, when she interviewed Rory.... he pulled back on the throttle and his stomach sank? duh

Do we have an interview from an actual flight simmer trying out the F-18 Hornet?

Why does Matt keep saying "2-3 years"?? Wasn't the Hornet in development for LONGER than that?

It would be nice if TM joysticks would work on consoles despite their primary purpose for PCs. That usually depends on the console companies including drivers for it to all systems as a global patch and in the case of Microsoft I don't know if they support DirectX (not XInput) at all.

"2-3 years" that's a standard statement. Since they first mentioned it, it's been at least 7 years. Another good one, "Champing at the bit for this [DCS-F-18]." Yeah, how about, "Dying every time we chase our tails down a rabbit hole and putting a completely different (and dull) module in front of this project"? Also mentioned that modelling air-to-ground radar was a new technology they'd had to master. I remember denying this at least seven years ago. God, he's such a bad front man for a company.

Anything about the map, or carrier marshal AI, or hi-res AG radar mapping? Nope. Here our plane, there's a carrier, land. Wow.

And what game on the console would a TM HOTAS work with? Ace Combat? At the very least, Elite Dangerous, but is there anything else?

Should've concentrated 110% of their resources on the Hornet after A10C or BS2.

Also feel sorry for him when he talks about "how long it takes"... sure, there's many steps to the process but previous steps don't have to be completed before the next step starts... there should be a good amount of overlap. Talking about A-G radar like it's a "whole new technology." It is a "monumental amount of work," true... all the more reason not to be spreading resources around, huh?

At least we know now that the Hornet is flyable, though it would be great to hear from people more familiar with flight sims to get a better feel on the aircraft. We also know a carrier exists with good trap-wire animation. Are there other videos showing other stuff like weapons? Ground radar? Startup? I feel like this is more like a showcase for TM than it is for DCS. I hope they'll come up with more in-depth videos of the Hornet and its systems in the coming weeks.

Since the booth belongs to TM, that makes sense.

Confirmation that ED is going broke. Not even the copious amount of campaigns over the last 2 years can attribute to ED being able to pay for their own booth

What, showing us the TM WH that's already 6+ years old? And a Hornet stick grip that's in a glass case? The TM Cougar MFDs that are too far away to actually be used? ED's been given an opportunity to show its latest-and-greatest and that's all they can give us?

Might want to try again with a better comeback, cichlidfan.

Or it could be that ED recognizes that much of E3 is not their target audience and purchasing a booth would be like purchasing ad time for the Super Bowl. However, being able to piggy-back on the TM booth is a symbiotic arrangement.

The average naval aviator, despite the sometimes swaggering exterior, is very much capable of such feelings as love, affection, intimacy, and caring. These feelings just don't involve anyone else.
