My AG radar works just fine. Have you checked Gain set to maximum ?

Sorted. Need to ensure TDC is on the AzEl display.

I just get AACQ operation. I depress and release SCS <0.8 sec then SCS right I get AACQ

With the now mature FA18 IFF interrogation setup is the "Sensor Select switch depress" function now redundant ?

"USN hornets were allowed to G Limit Override to 9 Gs in Emergency / Wartime.." how would that be done ? The paddle just gives you 33% more than the current Nzw calculated limit, so the best it will give you is about 9.8G. Its I am about to hit the ground I need more G type thing. If you are saying the pilot would use the paddle then monitor the G to not exceed 9 I think is not workable. If you go for the paddle you would use whatever G you need. A 9G usable limit would need FCS Code modification. Interesting Presentation Figaro9 thanks for sharing.

Is their a definitive reference that states the Swiss and Finn FA18C's are rated to an in service limit of 9g ?

Its many moons ago since I Flew the bracket IRL (and then on a land based A model) however its new behavior is much better and a lot closer to how I remember it to be. The intent is to trim straight to On speed AOA then leave the trim alone. With smooth coordinated power and pitch input you can easily remain on speed with the VV on the required aimpoint. After Lot 20 entry date a software update was incorporated across the F18 fleet that actually displayed your exact "trimmed AOA" in the HUD. This to make it easier for the pilot to rapidly and precisly trim to On speed AOA. This occurred with LG down Flaps full and you trimming. So basically you just trimmed until you saw 8.3 and thats it you are exactly trimmed to On speed AOA.As soon as you stop trimming the digits disappear. We don't have this luxury in game but a little mod in the Flt controls indicator.LUA can achieve the exact same thing .. a direct trim ref to On Speed AOA. This is a little variation of Rackman's " F/A_18C controls Indicator scales for trimming". The mod simply puts a reference mark on the in game Flight controls display that indicates 8.3 degrees AOA. So just trim till the white + is abeam the reference marks and thats it trimmed precisely to on Speed.... no guesswork required. It passes the IC . Just needs to be copied in after every update.

In the RAF I think the Aircraft form is known as the "700" in the RAAF its known as the EE500

I think in the case of the F1CZ the V3 is concerned with the V3B Kukri AA missile. https://www.saairforce.co.za/the-airforce/weapons/66/v3b-kukri

Rutowski climb and accelerations are your friend, level accels are inefficient.

Would appear that the increased Pitch trim effectiveness did NOT make it into the Beta patch Ver 2.9.2.49629 ? I

Running the cursor over San Carlos water in mission Editor gives depths of around 7 feet as compared to real life of 70+ Feet.

Good find Gulredrel. works a treat at Punta Arenas So went looking for more. Interestingly enough Ushaia in the Editor has 113.7 with 84 the correct TACAN pairing even shown. Though the Mission Editor symbol shows it as a VOR only station. Tuning TACAN to 84X confirms it as VOR only no DME .
