It wasn't a Tutorial but a YouTube Video. Further searching in the F/A 18 Manual and in DCS World F/A 18(Google), finds no mention of the word rheostat. I did see Castle Switch (which was a new term for me). Saw other comments from other flyers who were just as lost as me. Apparently, there are other conditions that must be met before this HMD shows up. I'm still lost, so some1 give me abit more info??

From what I recall from the Tutorial (and again I may have been distracted looking elsewhere) that I missed this "rheostat". Thnx Razor

I go to TAC page, then to Supt Page, look over to left-side Panel for the HMD Tab and it is not there. I have tried with/without AA on. I've clicked every button on numerous Pages and haven't found it yet. I missed something here. Where is it?

I need to bind this PB. It's PB 5. However, there are a few PB5's. Per the manual...it's the one on the Sensor Panel which is on the TAC Page which is on the Right DDI Page. All true... but where is it on the Controls when I go to bind it? I couldn't figure out which PB. Probably the same issue binding Manual/Auto, which is PB 13. Could someone plz tell me which PB Actions these 2 PBs are when binding?

I will do that. Thank you, Rob

Nods agreeably with Lane on the confusing. I know at times, it may seem I'm asking too many questions and not doing my homework. I can assure u that is not the case. I do look up stuff but I can tell the designers write the text with great personal knowledge of flight. But perhaps, loose sight to those of us not as well-educated in flight. Case in point, I don't know what TDC is. I'm assuming it is that tip top button on the POV? It says push down to lock target. I push down and target won't lock. .. or hit Enter. I try Enter and it works fine in the Training Mission. Get into 8v8 and sometimes it'll lock but I can't track the one in front of me and deal with the 2 on my six. I go search for solution and the vast majority of videos/posts reference the Warthog not the 16000M. I still go and look up the buttons diagrams for the 16000M but nothing I saw points to the TDC. I do try though to learn on my own. No offense intended.

Lol That could very well be. I was like clicking all around those X and Y boxes and getting nothing. Thnx Jay

BN was correct, it was 67X. I'm assuming since X is default, that is why X didn't show up?? And just with 67 entered, the instructor continued his lesson?? Also, thnx Lane for adding additional info. I knew going in that the F/A 18 was going to be a handful.

I'll rerun that mission to make sure. Just in case though, it was X or Y, how do I put that X or Y in? Thnx BN

Instructor says enter 66K. I got the 66 but how do I do that K?

Rockets fired and targets destroyed. Bombs dropped but I can't hit anything yet lol. Much appreciated Art.

Very helpful Vader. I'll do that. Thank you.

In the Air to Ground Training Mission (with Guns) I can't hear my Flight Instructor. Turbines too loud and I forgot how/where to turn that noise down? Then I did the CCIP Mode but when moves on to the Manual Mode, he lost me when he said push this button and RTCLE comes up. Now enter a value of 10 on the UFC (next to the colon). I have no idea what he's talking about?? I looked but never saw any colon. Why did DCS not mark where to go on that one like they had been doing? As a side note and to my great delight and surprise, so far I have found the Hornet easier to operate so far. I'm sure it'll be a handful by the time I work thru all those inputs. But it took me hours to get the Mustang into the air but with the Hornet I got up in one try. In CCIP Mode, I got the targets in two fly-overs. Couldn't do the Manual Mode as stated. Went to Missiles and down those 2 Migs in 2 tries. Was very satisfying. xD

So, Weapon Release is RAlt + Space on keyboard? And that would be the command I need to look for on Control Panel? And then bind that? I think I can do that. Much appreciated.

Thnx for answering. I just went to check to c if those two keys were bound. They were bound correctly. I did move them to Bttn 3 (bomb/rocket selector to rockets) and Bttn 4 (rocket selector to single). Double-checked back into Control Panel and all was good. Got back into a ground Mission, got lined up, hit those two keys...and the rocket did not fire. I use the 16000M FCS Thrustmaster Joystick. My Fire Guns is on Bttn 1 and works fine. Shrugs
