I have a warthog and no rudder pedals and what I’ve done is assign the roll axis +a modifier key to be the rudder. So i just hold that button while I’m on the ground and I get really precise control. In the air I never use rudder.

If the datalink is transmitting over that frequency it makes sense that you would have to keep the radio tuned to that frequency.

Suggestion: Make a spotify(or maybe just an MP3 player) page on the mfd(optional ofc. I know there are many purist nerds who would object to the very existence of such a thing) so that I can rock out to Dangerzone. Kind of like the f14s tape thingy only a modern version since our jet is not a museum piece.

Radar antenna tilt sensitivity I have the ant tilt bound to normal digital buttons and the tilting speed is waaay too fast for me now. A short tap will tilt the radar almost from full up to down. very hard to use.

A little negative curvature made her feel snappier for me.

If you want to know effective the angle of the seat is you need only multiply with the cosine of the angle. For example a seat reclined 30 degrees from the vertical would reduce 9 g to 7,79 g(9*cos(30)) They should make seats that recline when you pull gs

There are 2 ways to fire the Gun. Air to Ground and Air to Air For Air to Ground, first you need to be in A-G mode. Then you click the Nose-wheel steering button which will cycle between CCRP - CCIP and STRF mode. The STRF mode is the gun mode. For air to air click the Dogfight override button. Master arm obviously needs to be on.

The hornet anti skid definitely does something. I did a huge sideways slide today because I forgot to turn it on after a carrier takeoff. My landings aren’t usually the most elegant. But I can usually keep it pointed forward.

The dogfight mode combines sidewinders and guns. There is no separate sidewinder mode. You can also fire amraams in dogfight mode.

I read an interview of a pilot who had flown the f18 as well as the 16 and 15. He claimed that the f18 and f16 could, in a clean configuration at altitude, supercruise. On the other hand I believe the definition of supercruise requires that you carry a useful amount of cargo/weapons. So simply going supersonic in a clean configuration would not qualify as supercruise. I wanted to link to the article but I could not find it. I believe it was called something along the line “F15 vs F16 vs F18: A fighter pilots perspective”

Auto-start(Left windows key + home I think) + timecompression(Ctrl + z for speed up and shift+z for normal time) and it's done in 20 seconds. Not even worth considering.

I tested the same settings at 4K resolution. So at 1080p I had 60 without mirrors and 55 with mirrors. At 4K I have 56-57 without mirrors and 52-54 with mirrors.

I5-8600k @ 4,9 GHz 1080 @ 2050 MHz 32 GB ddr4-3000 ram 60 FPS Without mirrors. 55 with mirrors.

From what I understand in the f18 trimming doesn’t physically move anything. You are simply telling the fcs to trim for a different G. Normally the plane trims for 1g. If you start trimming it will change its target G. In landing configuration it trims for AoA.

You can’t change FOV when a target is locked. Maybe that is what you are doing wrong.

I tried this. It would designate a target. The coordinates would show on the JDAM page. But I couldn't get the bomb to actually drop. And even if you could get it to drop I don't see how you would ever be able to get accurate enough using the HUD.

Speaking of the the comms menu. Wouldn't it be great if the comms menu worked like the jester menu in the tomcat?

Enable «Scale GUI» under graphics options. This will fix almost all of your 4K issues.

Is it possible to create dynamic kneeboard pages like the ones in the tomcat? A page with carrier/tanker frequencies and such would be great.

It seems to me that the FCS is still in control since you only get 30% more G. So if you are heavily loaded and the FCS is currently limiting you to 5.5g you will not be able to pull 10 gs like you can with a lightly loaded plane.

When this happens to me I find that I have to switch the ampcd from hsi to something else and then back to hsi.

Are the engines shutting down?

Yes. But friendlies will always turn green. So if it stays yellow after iff it’s hostile right?

Doesn’t yellow mean hostile in any case in dcs? If they are friendly they will turn green and there are no neutrals right? Or am I missing something?
