Thoughts on the F-18?
-
I understand it isnt a true f-18 (Avionics and flightmodel are based off the F-16). But does it compare well tot the standard of the F-16?
You misunderstand. The F-18 has it’s own flight model. From my understanding, it will soon have an even better flight model based on its own FLCS.

From everywhere i looked, the F-18’s flight model was highly based off the F-16. It does has it own, but will fly more like a F-16 than the real thing.

Try it. Maybe you’ll like it. Mav-jp says it has it’s own flight model.

if you think the f18 flies like a f16 in BMS that means you have no idea how a f16 flies
have you ever seen a f16 flying at 50deg AOA ? have you ever seen a f16 G limited depending on weight ? have you ever seen a f16 rolling so low ? accel and EM charts are very different. TEF and LEF management are VERY different etc… etc…
but indeed the f18 FM in BMS is not complete in 4.33 as FLCS is dedicated only in TEF auto znd in TEF full or half still uses the f16 LG gains FLCS
PS: the f18 FM has been changed in U1, maybe you dont have U1 installed ?

Quick question. I was wondering what peoples thoughts were on the F-18c? I understand it isnt a true f-18 (Avionics and flightmodel are based off the F-16). But does it compare well tot the standard of the F-16?
Very happy it’s here. "Nuff said

Try landing the F18C on the boat without manually setting flaps to full. The FM is excellent, even as the WIP it is.
-
yeah!, it is cool!!!

Not a dogfighter like the F-16, but way better AA loadout and still awsome to fly. Realy a nice aircraft in BMS and since 4.33.1, the FM is even better in my opinion.

I have never flown the F-18. To be honest,i have hardly flown the F-16. I asked the question because I was under the assumption that it was based of the f-16 as BMS is regarded as a F-16 sim mainly. However I didnt know it was updated as of U1, haven’t had a chance to fly in U1 yet. I am very new to the sim, just figuring things out and wanted to know if the F-18 is well modeled, and from the way everyone is responding I think its safe to say it is. . Thanks for the response.

Thanks you very much for the reply

The F-18 is great in the U1. She definitely has more empf when it comes to horsepower. The super-hornet is a little glitchy with the DED, but C-model is rocking it.
