DCS: F/A-18C by Eagle Dynamics
MSI progress:
The Radar Attack and AZ/EL pages display tracks originating from the MSI system. From these MSI tracks, the following types of tracks can be generated: LS, DT2, and TUC.
MSI tracks feature updated algorithms for ranking and memory management. Their display behavior depends on two factors:
- the current memory state;
- the source contribution.
Based on these factors, MSI tracks will show either the RMEM or MEM indicator and may exhibit partial or full HAFU flashing. Tracks with low priority are marked with a “+” symbol.

We are working on further improving the flight model and refining the FCR's Terrain Profile Mode (TPM). With regard to the core flight model within our internal development build, we've already made the following improvements after introducing a new main rotor simulation:
- The exaggerated left yaw offset in forward flight has been reduced to a realistic magnitude.
- The un-commanded left roll during cyclic push-overs in forward flight has been fixed.
- Stabilator logic has been refined, resulting in improved pitch stability in forward flight.
- Rotor disc tilt and rotor coning have been improved to a more realistic behavior.
- Conservation of angular momentum effect from forward/aft cyclic inputs has been refined.
- Transient torque effect from left/right cyclic inputs has been added.
- Autorotation behavior has been improved to a more realistic state.
- The drag profile more accurately accounts for external stores and the presence or absence of the FCR mast-mounted assembly. This has resulted in a 15% average increase in top speed.
- Fuel flow values have been slightly reduced to a more realistic state.
Our current efforts consist of continued refinements to the SCAS logic (such as FMC-off flight) and tuning the induced flow effects through the main rotor to account for ground effect.
