1. Yes you can via the mission editor. 4. He is talking about the way the symbol moves on the hud- which is indeed hard to use

They (USMC) use it only when operating from ground bases. Carrier ops planes (USMC or NAVY) use ATFLIR.

Thanks man. As of today this is still an issue. I hope they fix it soon, because it's making the moving map (which was a launch feature) very hard to use.

ED made it so you are starting with your mask on at all times. Following NATOPS here will kill your pilot :)

Something like the issue described here? https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=210829

Can't get my head around bort numbers textures. Anyone got a guide / video explaining how to make those?

Hi guys, First of all I'd like to thank ED for adding so many new visual effects to the sim especially with the release of the hornet. I know the plane is still WIP, and that everything is subject to change- which is why I ask to consider toning down the visual effect for the fuel dumping. At the moment it seems too much, or more like a smoke trail than actually dumping fuel. I found a couple of real life examples of this: I know it's not the same airframe, but , and here is what appears to be a legacy hornet (not actually dumping while AAR, but the fuel is soming out of the same system)

Why doesn't it happen all the time? It did in my track, but did not when I tried the cold start training mission.

As described in the title, sometimes when I start the left engine, the HUD the left DDI and the AMPCD reset (turn off and then on again). I'm not sure why because it doesn't look like I'm doing anything wrong when I start up the jet. Attached a track showing the issue. MFD after left engine.trk

Click and hold, and then type the new azimuth via UFC.

It's coming but don't count on it to save you. The more elements you have displayed on the HUD, the less RWR info you can show (unless you force the hud to be one one of the degraded modes). IIRC when you are in Aim7 mode you can only see 2.

Haven't you heard? They plan to overhaul IR texture for it. If it's still planned, that's a lot more than just "copy pasting". Besides, so many features of basic systems are still missing.. why rush?

I apologize if this is how it works IRL (doesn't seem likely) Here is my problem: While entering the coordinates for a waypoint using the HSI and UFC, if I ever want to change just the second line of the coordinates (suppose you made a mistake entering E or W digits) I can't. I have to go to through N first and type it all over again. Steps to reproduce: 1. Add one waypoint to the flight plan via ME. 2. Display WP data on the UFC. 3. Try to change just the E or W coordinates. (It's not possible, the UFC will only register N, and not E or W)

Well... In real life, if you cycle the battery it resets the system, which lets you run the second test without waiting. This is how the plane works, and this was also demonstrated by Wags in his start-up video. Also mentioned in NATOPS. If Wags mentioned it (and did cycle the battery) in his start-up video it means it should work in game.

IIRC after the first fire test is complete, cycling the battery (off, on) should reset the fire test and let you skip the 7 seconds delay. At the moment I can't get this to work properly. I can see the caution lights but hear no audio when I start the second test (the one after the battery reset). Track included. fire_test.trk

It can't take more than 6 digits at the moment. Wait until precise mode will be implemented.

You are not doing anything wrong. At the moment we can only type 6 digit coordinates. In the real plane you can also enter grid coordinates, change formats, and add more digits to get more accurate results. It's not implemented at the moment as far as I can tell.

Still an issue after today's patch.

Try this also

Also from NATOPS : Lighter hornets (no stores) with 2000 pounds of fuel will usually land at 125 knots (that's the ON SPEED value). For each 1000 pounds addition in weight, add 2.5 knots to the landing speed.

From my experience it's not how you set up the radios, but how long you hit the enter key after selecting freq. Try to click and hold it for a short period of time.

1. LTOD won't display on the hud 2. DATE won't display (either on the hud or the AMPCD) 3. (not sure if it's a bug) When CD is removed from the HUD, the HSI still keeps track of the countdown, but there is no way to bring it back to the HUD, only to start a new one

Hi guys, I have a couple of questions about this panel (shown in page 152 in ED's manual): 1. What does RCDR ON mean, and how can I get this light to show? 2. Page 152 in the manual states this panel will display the following: "GO and NO. BIT test result from when the Dispense switch is set to ON or BYPASS. BIT will take five seconds." I can't get this one to show either, even after the 5 second bit of the ALE-47. Should a light come on after this bit or am I wrong here?

IIRC NATOPS states you have to get special permission to use this on the carrier.

Doesn't it just convert? For example: 21/60 = 0.35 so : 24 13 21 = 24 13 35
