***Mini Update***

Dear all,

For the next, big Open Beta update, we plan to include several new Hornet features that include:


  • Pre-Briefed (PB) mode for the HARM to include both HRM and A/C sub-modes.
  • Pullback (PBLK) mode for the HARM / HRM OVRD.
  • Improved HARM TOO handoff for two emitters at once.
  • Adjusted AGM-88C HARM flight and seeker dynamics.
  • ATFLIR targeting pod.
  • Complete remaining Litening targeting pod tasks.
  • TDC slew Wide Acquisition (WACQ) ACM mode.
  • RAID Single Target Track (STT) mode.
  • SPOT radar mode.
  • Saving PRF to SET options.
  • BRA indication with L&S.
  • Coupled (CPL) autopilot mode.
  • New flares with increased inventory loading option.
  • AGM-84K SLAM-ER.
  • New elevation tracking model to resolve JHMCS designation drift.
  • Updated flight model, FCS, and drag values.

Many of the above items are completed internally, and other are still in being worked on. Please understand that this list is our best projection, and it is very much subject to change based on testing results.

In parallel, we are also addressing many bugs and needed and adjustments. We are reading all your valuable feedback. Thank you!

Kind regards,
Wags
 
Dear all,
For the next Hornet Open Beta update that is planned for late-April 2022, we plan several improvements. While these may change during the testing stage, they will probably be:

  • Addition of the Automatic Carrier Landing System, ACLS.
  • Addition of the Link 4 datalink for carrier-to-aircraft communications.
  • Addition of ACLS On/Off and Beacon On/Off to carrier Mission Editor advanced waypoint actions.
  • Corrected the Auto-Throttle Control (ATC) Approach mode such that it no longer moves the throttles to idle.
  • Addition of donor datalink tracks to the AZ/EL page.
  • Corrected MIDS track ID on SA display.
  • Changed the Electronic Countermeasures, ECM, such that when in XMIT it will use radar in priority rather than jammer in priority. This will allow the radar to operate with ECM transmitting, but at a lower radar detection capability.
  • Adjusted the radar look-down capability that factors in radar sidelobes.
  • Corrected radar slant range.
  • Ground units are now more visible on A-G radar.
  • Corrected “ghost” contacts when using TWS.
  • Corrected AGR message flashing error.
  • Corrected SLAM-ER / DL13 unlimited munitions error.
  • Corrected some HUD symbol overlap errors.
  • Corrected TOO coordinate saving when stepping targets.
Kind regards,
Wags
