Swift.

Do you have a track for this? It could be any number of things.

Thanks BN, that's good to hear. Out of curiosity, the photo reference you have, is that for a super hornet. It would make sense for the super hornet to have an offset Mav display considering its offset pylons. Either way, good to see the attention to detail.

Start the alignment as normal, then in the HSI format you will see STD HDG on the bottom row (pb19). Press that and it will begin the stored heading alignment.

T UP is track up, it orients the HSI to show the aircraft flying towards the top of the display. N UP orients the display to show North at the top.

If the cautions are gone from the LDDI and it reads 0.5 OK in the HSI, then the INS is aligned. Ignore the heading and waypoints laid out on the HSI, whilst on the boat, because they are bugged in the T UP orientation.

Recently noticed that the MAV display in hornet is slightly off to the right hand side.

No idea, perhaps something about which symbol is shown for each emitter, maybe new emitter profiles. The important thing to remember is that a lot of those settings are way way out of the scope of the DCS simulation, not just classification, but complexity too.

Correct but incorrect. In DCS right now, both the HUD and the MPCD are driven by either the Right or the Left DDI, having one powered is enough.

You said you crashed? Those failures are just the different systems of the hornet breaking as the jet is destroyed.

So I did a little digging, it looks like: The MPCD is driven by the Left DDI for its menu selectable formats, which I assume means the LDDI must be powered for it to work. The HUD is driven by either the Left or Right DDI symbology generators, so I assume that means it can be driven by either display being powered. My understanding then, is that, LDDI-Off and RDDI-On = MPCD-Off and HUD-On LDDI-On and RDDI-Off = MPCD-ON and HUD-On LDDI-Off and RDDI-Off = MPCD-Off and HUD-Off

As I have learnt too, the NFLIR in ATFLIR was only very briefly installed. And for most of its life it was without.

Yeah thats where my hesitation is coming in, it does seem like something that could be easily 'masked' by OFFing the DL on the UFC.

So, in a MIDS capable hornet, the MIDS and TACAN are part of the same system. Both are run through the MIDS LVT. This means that power to one system will also power the other system. I'm not 100% convinced, therefore, that this is a bug. The question I have is whether the reverse not being observed is the bug: when you power the MIDS, it doesnt make the TACAN function.

There is some strange misconception that AUTO is somehow less precise or accurate than CCIP. Its the same bomb doing the same thing, AUTO and CCIP are just two different ways to fly to the desired BRP. As Harker said, start having a look at diving AUTO deliveries, it will change your life

Precisely, it works its just bugged. I wouldn't classify it as something that ED need to explicitly list on their roadmap or anything.

The mechanics for simultaneous QTY drops are already in DCS. It's just super buggy, so no one ever does it. Also the LAR indications on the HSI will need updating.

I've noticed discrepancy between ME, Rearming menu, Checklist page and Calculated weights. None of them ever agree fully.

I've never heard of that, but perhaps you are right. I will say that REF WP only has one entry in NATOPS and its in regards to GRID entry.

I think there has been some arguments made by legitimate channels for specialised squadrons doing different missions with the same airframe. But afaik currently ever pilot in an airframe is trained the same.

REF WP works as described in NATOPS. Boxing it will mean the GRID selection will start at the reference waypoint rather than the current aircraft position.

Im a little confused what the problem is here tbh. GMT, Castle right to make ground track the TGT FLIR, Castle toward FLIR to make it TDC priority FLIR, use the TDC to slew the pod and press TDC to make the TGT track the pods cursor.

Yeah, undesignating will remove the TGT making the TPOD go into snowplough mode. Hornet can only have one TGT at a time, you cant have one for the FLIR and one for the Radar if thats what you are asking.

In essence, I'm not sure where ED are with their realism. But mode4 IFF shouldn't tell you if something is hostile, so you will be stuck with NCTR if you have no donors. So you will need to be fairly close and at an aspect close to nose or tail on, to get a good print.

Mega, thanks Santi. I had started to suspect it was Helmet related.
