Or just zoom out. I set my zoom for what I need to see in the narrow POV then switch it to wide to help track targets Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

What I'm talking about is the fingerlift command in the Hornets controls. I use a Virpil throttle and its range is not the greatest. It's very precise, but I don't want to use my physical detents. I just want a push button to get into afterburner. I don't want to use the throttle curves, i just want a button. Please don't hijack the thread. This thread is about a push button to get into afterburner.

Yeah, but some of those updates repeat consistently for a couple weeks at a time Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Agreed. Jury is still out in the Tomcat. I am very very excited for it. Can't wait for it to be release. I hope it's as good as it looks. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

I'm glad you figured it out. The way it should work is you hit the eng start switch, let the engine spool, push the throttle forward into the idle position. That's it. If you are having to press the throttle cutoff to being spooling the engine during start, your real throttle was not at idle when you loaded into the 3D world. Which the sim will realize and move your throttle forward, into the idle stop. The effect of this is that you will need to place your throttle at idle, press the throttle cutoff, which places the throttle at cutoff again. allowing you to start the engine. I'm telling you, take some time in your pit and play with the throttle to understand how this works. It is incorrect for you to have to move the cutoff lever during the start.

To be more clear, you do not NEED to lift the cutoff lever to begin engine start if you are set up correctly. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

So this statement is false. With the parking brake disengaged the throttle is free to move it's entire range of travel between the idle stop and full thrust. If the parking brake is engaged while the throttle is at idle, the throttle is not allowed to move forward. At all times the throttle cuttoff can be lifted allowing the throttle to be moved from. Idle to off. Go sit in the pit and activate the parking brake with the throttle off. (Like when you load into a cold jet). Push the throttle forward, the throttle will move to the idle position. The cutoff stop will engage and only then is the throttle locked in place. This is what happens 9 times out of 10 when someone says they can't start the Harrier. If at this point you lift the throttle cutoff lever, and your physical throttle is at 0%, the throttle will move to the off position. Which is where it needs to be to begin spooling. Go give it a try, because what you described is not how it works. I do this every time I'm starting to make sure everything is in the right position. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Not sure how many would agree with me, But I think the addition of an afterburner detent button would be really helpful. So the F-5 started it with the throttle range button, which acted like a switch not allowing you to move the throttle into the afterburner range. This is nice, but you press it once and you are allowed to move into afterburner as much as you like. The hornet added to this with the finger lift key (though technically incorrect, but, helpful non the less) which locks the throttle at mil power unless you have the button pressed as you get to mil. This is nice as I fly the harrier, A-10 and helos quiet often, having this button allows me to use a button instead of a physical detent to be absolutely certain I'm at mil power and not have to take my throttle (Virpil T-50) off its base, move the detent, then remount it to have a detent. (I also use the same button for the combat button in the harrier). Just my 2 cents.

With the HSI displayed on any display SCS down will select the HSI. Like, radar are the bottom, HSI on the left, menu on the right, SCS down, I get the diamond on the left DDI. I've reproduced on all maps, in SP and MP in multiple updates. Screenshots don't really do this justice and I can get a track of you want, I've had guys test this for me and they report the same. Thanks. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

I've found it to be a little better than the hornet in VR. Really depends on your system. But the flir and map are heavy hitters. If you're having fps issues try turning those off Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

I've always had the parking break set. The parking brake locks the throttle and keeps it from going above idle. You can move the throttle between the idle and of detents with the parking brake on. You may not be able to easily see the clock spot, but you can click through the throttle as well. I've mapped the cutoff to a button. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Tested last night, indeed this is a bug, and adding a mark point at any point fixes the issue. I made a whole flight plan, was getting the wrong indications, then added the mark point and all the nav data loaded just fine.

Yeah, try to start the engine. If you're looking at the throttle in the pit you can see if moves from the idle stop to the off stop. Just give it a try Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

If the engine is not spooling up either your throttle is not in the off position or your fuel pumps are off. 9 times out of 10 your throttle is not in the off position. Set your throttle to 0%, go look for the throttle cut off key in the assignments menu. And press it. Then try spooling the engine. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Was trying it a few things last night. You can create a user Mark and true in the coordinates you want into that box which you can save for later. Planned a whole flight then went back and plugged it into my system. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Not by the computer, but do the current F-10 user marks display coordinates? Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Or be able to drop a pin that displays it Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

How exactly is the hornet a case study on early access? AA radar modes still incomplete and bugged. Radar is still missing half of it's functionality. Weapons are released but are always bugged. It's missing basic information on the HUD. Released the wrong weapons. Hell functions on the radar are still messed up. The hornet has more than it's fair share of problems. (Namely the "A" in F/A-18C, and part of the "F" as well) Every company has it's problems. That's just part of doing business. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

It's not so much that the old videos are wrong, just incomplete. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Sounds like you're not putting your flaps into STOL Mode.
