When I hit the assigned keystroke to "CYC flaps" nothing happens! (switch in a/c in auto position). I have to move the switch with the mouse to another position first, Then the key works???

This is a procedure used in USN Primary Flight training. Began on FAM2: I have taught it in the T 28, T34C IRW and the FA18C/E, A4, A6, A7 in the "sim" world! :) LANDING ATTITUDE MANUVER Objective: Control the a/c in the landing configuration using nose position and power. 1. Begin the maneuver at an even altitude (say 10000’) heading 360 @ 300kts. 2. After 1 minuet, simulate a carrier port “brake” turning to 180 with a 20-30 angel of bank level (about 2.5 g’s), reducing power to idle, extending the speed brake. As airspeed decreases below 245 kts, lower landing gear, raise speed brake, lower full flaps, slow to “on speed”. 3. Heading 180, descend 1000’, maintaining “on speed”. Maintain a rate of descent of 500fpm. 4. Level off. Fly 30 seconds. 5. Begin a 20-30 angle of bank, turn port to 360, descend 1000’, maintaining “on Speed” with a rate of descent of 500fpm. 6. Maintain altitude for 30 seconds. 7. Climb 2000’,(back to original altitude)maintaining “on speed” . 8. Reaching altitude add military power raise landing gear and flaps, gain airspeed back to 300kts. Procedure: 1. Power control altitude, rate of descent or rate of climb. 2. Attitude controls airspeed. If slow, lower nose, when altitude begins to decrease add power, readjust the nose.

When spawned on CV, and request TO, comm says " taxi to rw…..". If I go to the CAt '''"abort TO"????:(

The "Navy way"! Thrust controls ROD, nose position controls A/S(AOA). with AOA "on speed", adjust power to place the FPM on #1 cat (ship going 30kts)/ :)

Ditto as well. If I spawn on CV it works OK. but after a trap, no go again!

ditto on first load of the day. After rebooting PC worked OK :(

If I spawn on the ship, there is no problem "hooking up" but after a "trap" no hookup and cat! :(

Found you can "pre set" each mode in the ALE47 in the file displayed in att'ed!:)

The low "MAX TRAP" weight is the main reason for development on the FA18E! The "C" were dumping $$$$$$ of stores returning from a mission. :)

Yoda, do you mean If I change all the FREQ in Com 2 then all in a MP session will receive that change??

would be nice to change them in the config file, then they could be shared with others!

I now see the "flight pre set". It sets up Com1. It is not likely that (in RW) that Com1 and Com 2 freq would be the same. I was attempting to change com 2's freq, and system will not allow it???

check out the "old new group"

I found the "ARC_210_UHF1/2" lua files. They have listings of what I guess are the "preset freq" for each ch. Both COM1 and 2 have the same freq for each ch. In the A/C com1/ch1 is a freq "124.0", but in the lua file it is "305.0" Why #1 are they not the same, and #2 how can we change the pre set freq in Com1 &2?:smilewink:

Thanks for the support! We will begin our training with an A2A BVR US FA18c vs Russian FA18C. live pilots vs live pilots POP :)

contact would have to set a day/time on both to meet. 2 of us will be up Monday @2100CST:)

Thanks again for all the inputs. My intent for the use of a recorded MP flight is to help train others in a/c systems and tactics. I want to be able to "see" what a wingman "sees" in his cockpit. Understand track files and other recording systems, just attempting to use program systems to the fullest. I don't think ED would make switches "active-moveable" and assign keystrokes to a switch unless there are some plans down the road to use it ( like the ECM rotor sw)

What I found out! I found that the MP flights are automatically recorded, kinda! in the Multiplay folder the (see pic).problem is it is external view only of all a/c, except the "player". :( So that is not the answer to "how to record an MP mission". PS I can't find the MP debrief file, if it exist!

Bonzo, explain 'recorded all the time". SP and MP? I know about saving tracks, but "recording"???

have tried the command "record on" (left alt r and lef sh r) & off, can't seem to find how to replay the recorded flt? Are the active?:huh:

wonder why they are "active" with key strokes assigned???

record Come on somebody must know SOMETHING about these switches!

record here are the keys for the command. does this do the same as the AVTR sw's on inst panel?:cry:
