About This Content

Our F/A-18C is the culmination of more than 40 man years of intense research, technology development, art creation, and ground-breaking coding. The F/A-18C brings the first, true, multi-role fighter to the skies of DCS with equally impressive air-to-surface and air-to-air capabilities.

DCS: F/A-18C

The F/A-18C is a twin-engine, supersonic fighter that is flown by a single pilot in a “glass cockpit”. It combines extreme maneuverability , a deadly arsenal of weapons, and the ability to operate from an aircraft carrier. Operated by several nations, this multi-role fighter has been instrumental in conflicts from 1986 to today. Our F/A-18C simulates a US Navy F/A-18C from the 2005 timeframe.

The F/A-18C is equipped with a large suite of sensors that includes a radar, two targeting pod types, and a helmet mounted sight. In addition to its internal 20mm cannon, the F/A-18C can be armed with a large assortment of unguided bombs and rockets, laser and GPS-guided bombs, air-to-surface missiles of all sorts, and both radar and infrared-guided air-to-air missiles. This results in amazing gameplay potential with this single aircraft. Please visit the DCS Store page that lists multiple F/A-18C campaigns.

The F/A-18C is also known for its high angle of attack maneuverability in a dogfight. We have gone to great lengths to model the flight aerodynamics and fly-by-wire flight control system of the Hornet to allow you to experience the feeling of power and extreme capabilities this aircraft has to offer. Although incredibly deadly, the F/A-18C is also a very easy aircraft to fly.

Being an aircraft carrier capable aircraft, our F/A-18C also comes with a free USS John C. Stennis, Nimitz-class aircraft carrier. DCS: Supercarrier is also a fantastic choice for F/A-18C carrier operations with animated deck crew, carrier radio communications, and more. Catapult from the “boat”, strike a large assortment of targets that only DCS World can offer, then “call the ball” and land on the carrier. DCS: F/A-18C in DCS provides the most rich and authentic digital combat aviation you will ever experience!
