Over the past decade, we’ve been working hard on our fixed-wing aircraft. Thousands of features take thousands of man-hours. However, with our core principles in mind, we feel an important duty to take care of our older modules built on previous versions. That’s why to celebrate the improvements we’re offering you the chance to complete your helo hangar with a limited time offer on all our helicopters.

Three different offers available

In the next Open Beta we plan to release some great dogfight improvements for the F/A-18C and F-16C. The Hornet will have a much-improved air-to-air gun reticle stabilization and accuracy. The Viper will get the EEGS Level-5 radar-directed air-to-air gun sight and the ability to toggle between the SLAVE and BORE modes of the AIM-9 using the HOTAS.

Notes:
We will be adding the MANUAL page of the DED soon to allow wingspan entry and the maximum gun range cue.
The energy state element of the T-Symbol is currently missing in the F-16C, but is coming.

F/A-18C Commands:
HOTAS Category
Select Gun = Left Shift + X
Gun Trigger = Space

F-16C Commands:
HOTAS Category
DOGFIGHT/Missile Override Switch = 3
ACM Modes = TMS switch up for boresight and TMS aft for vertical
