High-fidelity External Flight Model (EFM) with real-time Flight Control System (FCS).Detailed external and internal 3D models.Due to legal restrictions and privacy concerns, it cannot be publicly released. A clickable cockpit with dynamic HUD and displays gives us all of the functionality required for to perform the Blue Angels demonstration. Developed using NASA data, the External Flight Model allows us complete freedom from past restrictions and provides us with a highly accurate representation of the real Hornet. The Virtual Blue Angels F/A-18C is a completely custom aircraft created for DCS World by Leading Edge Simulations, a two-man team comprised of VBA members Beaker and Helmet. The Blue Angels' F/A-18s are modified with an air show smoke system in place of the 20mm gatling gun, and an inverted fuel pump system for sustained inverted flight. During 2001, Hornets provided around-the-clock battlefield coverage in the Afghanistan theater of operations. During the 1991 Persian Gulf War, while performing an air-to-ground mission, Hornets destroyed two Iraqi MiG-21s in air-to-air combat. In 1986, Hornets on the USS Coral Sea flew their first combat missions. Hornets entered active duty in January 1983. In November 1986, the 40th anniversary of the Navy's Blue Angels, the demonstration squadron replaced its A-4 Skyhawks with F/A-18 Hornets. Since the first Hornet entered service in 1980, McDonnell Douglas built over 1,200 units. Variants included a two-seater, an improved fighter, a reconnaissance aircraft and a night-attack fighter. The resilient F/A-18 Hornet was the first aircraft to have carbon fiber wings and the first tactical jet fighter to use digital fly-by-wire flight controls. It can switch roles easily and can also be adapted for photoreconnaissance and electronic countermeasure missions. Marines ordered it as an F-18 fighter and the Navy as an A-18 attack aircraft. The Boeing/McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 is a multirole fighter designed for aircraft carrier duty and is the first tactical aircraft initially designed to carry out both air-to-air and air-to-ground missions.
