Uh, why did you necro a thread from back in November to bring up the SA page?

All flights will be pre-briefed on the location of all relevant reference points inside the theater. The reference points do not need to be part of your flight plan in the F-18, it simply needs to be a waypoint. Reference points/AA waypoints will be given different names, and it's not always called bullseye. During the shoot down of a pair of mig-21s by F-18s during desert shield, the reference point they are using is called Manny. Video for reference.

In a real theater of operations, there will usually be more than one reference point/aka multiple bullseyes

I made a bug report about the radar not functioning in HACQ and LHAQ while looking at the hud and posted a track. It literally took me less than 5 minutes.

When in either HACQ or LHAQ mode and while looking at the hud (JHCMS is blanked) the radar will not function, making it impossible to lock a target within the range of the hud. Also applies when JHCMS blanking is disabled. JHCMSbug.trk

Can confirm. Usually happens when I drop lock or change bar scan.

Should add that when on the catapult, the aircraft will trim much faster once flaps are in half position.

+1 to this. Runway strikes are a major part of offensive counter air and it's missing. edit: It's actually putting me off the f-18 and sticking with BMS for now until I see some improvements in these kinds of areas. It's like having the toys, but no where to play with them.

So I've logged quite a few hours in the hornet and I've noticed there's a huge list of problems that crop up if you ever shut down the jet then start it up again, especially after a rearm. Radalt will go off regardless of altitude or setting, radalt will not be displayed on hud or on the guage no matter what you do and becomes useless. Rearming is extremely buggy, especially a2g weapons. They will not be selectable on the stores page, and sometimes even just magically disappear off your pylons when you lift off. Trimming for asymmetric loads seems to do nothing, and the plane will constantly bank. There's probably some stuff I'm missing but seriously, go shut down, rearm and power back up. The hornet basically becomes useless.

On the other hand if you ever turn your jet off then back on the radalt will never stop beeping no matter what you set it to regardless of what altitude you are so it's also really buggy.
