Hopefully its the sort of thing modders can sort out in that case.

Itās alright, really. Had a little play around with it. The challenges are okay, will keep some people entertained for days, Iām sure.
And as others have said, it costs nothing.

Canāt wait to try the carrier landing again when my logbook doesnāt update every 5 seconds causing stutter.

Cute, the afterburner missions canāt be done because the program canāt capture the full path of an F-18 Throttle (winwing Taurus).
āPut it on full throttleā Okay, I got it - Crash, over 
I hope so for those that were looking forward to this DLC. Although I wouldnāt be holding my breath. Sounds like folks that want fancy milops should be looking into DCS where itās done right. The right tool for the job at hand, I would say.
But at least itās free content, right? Thereās always that. You get what you pay for! There will be folks happy with it, and thatās good. But people that had high expectations will be disappointed.
Personally I have no intention of even installing this DLC. Iāll go see the movie, of course, but have no interest for the DLC content.

See, I for one am glad I didnāt set any expectations on this at all. People thought I was being negative. However, with such an attitude now that it has released, I think the training missions for the F18 are kind of cool then. And I will check out the low altitude challenges.
Edit: So I hopped over to my gaming laptop to download. So ok, the tutorial missions, to teach me specific moves in the F18, ok. Cool. I have jets, but I donāt know any specific moves, so ok, that is cool. The 5 low altitude missions, I havenāt tried them out yet, but ok, Iām good to try that out. The landing challenge, I have LVFRās carrier pack, and 2 from IndiaFoxTango so I already had carriers to land at, but I will give the specific landing challenge a try. Iām not sure what to think of the new plane yet to be honest. That I might like or might not. All in all, Iām good with the DLC. Those people who were expecting a lot and their expectations werenāt met, well that is the problem with expectations. I didnāt expect anything, so learning some moves in a fighter jet, flying low altitude challenges, and getting another carrier to try to land on, they are good for me.

The darkstar handles like a block of cheese and has no vapour effects and shows 4 engines in external hud and you can click the scramjet control while the cover is closed and on the darkstar activity my pilot is pink checkered and sitting on the roof.
Apart from that, yay. 
Edit. I then realised the other 2 engines shown are the scramjets so thatās OK.

Itās his job, thatās why.
Note to all, while he seems like a very nice man, heās not your buddy down the street with inside info on FS. Itās literally part of his job to get you hyped.
The Darkstar is flat out bat ā ā ā ā mental. Mach 9
How convenient. My WinWing Orion F-18 HOTAS is getting delivered today.
I donāt know if people have bring this up, but . . .
They should give us an option to use the Top Gun theme for MSFS. THAT MUSIC IS SO SICK MAN!
Now I just want to stay at loading screen just so I can hear that musicā¦

Iāll take a look at the low-flying action. Letās see if I can make a permanent Roll.

Probably requires different/expanded licensing for use in more than the DLC, but worth a wishlist if you want to start one.
