The Blues jets have additional controls on the coming. i beleive the smoke switch is on the left side.

I've come across a problem with the Launch bar and hook bypass switches in the hornet. i have them programed to two 2 position toggle swithes in my home cock pit via DX button inputs. when the aircraft is cold and dark they function as intended mirroring the toggle in my pit. when the aircraft is started they funtion as if i am using a pushbutton were as i have to turn the switch off and on to toggle in the game. i have attached a video to help clarify if needed. any help would be greatly appreciated. https://youtu.be/O-pgCbjPv3U the following is the code from the original file and as i understand it they should toggle correctly { down = gear_commands.LaunchBarSw, up = gear_commands.LaunchBarSw, cockpit_device_id = devices.GEAR_INTERFACE, value_down = 0.0, value_up = 1.0, name = _('Launch Bar Control Switch - EXTEND/RETRACT'), category = {_('Left Vertical Panel')}}, -- { down = cptlights_commands.HookBypass, up = cptlights_commands.HookBypass, cockpit_device_id = devices.CPT_LIGTHS, value_down = 1.0, value_up = 0.0, name = _('HOOK BYPASS Switch - FIELD/CARRIER'), category = {_('Left Vertical Panel')}}, cold and dark.trk ready on the ramp.trk

i have done that. additionally like i said they work fine before thae aircraft has power but not after it is powered up.

right wall complete as well

I now have the Left vertical panel complete.

I went to a local salvage yard and got the passenger seat out of a Pontiac Sunfire for $35

Right verticle panel is now complete

additionally the hornet in dcs did not replace the tomcat. it replaced the A-7 and A-6

Tail Hook Lever

I have made alot of progress since my last post. Wing Fold Handle fabricated.

took a little experimenting but got them working. thanks again for the link. very helpful.

awesome, thanks. that should be what i need to know. now i just gotta get in and do some editing and get it up in running.

Can anyone tell me how to add controls to the .LAU file that are not currently in it for the hornet. Specificly i'm trying to program my video recorder switches on the IFEI. I know they can be assigned via the DCSFlightpanels software bit i need to be able to give the DX button assignments in the controls set up since these particular toggles are attactched to a LEO Bodnar board. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Edit your CMDS_ALE47.lau file located in DCS/Mods/aircraft/FA-18C/Cockpit/Scripts/TEWS/device folder. i beleive it will default to the original file with everyupdate so keep a copy in a safe folder elswhere so all you have to do is drag and drop after the update.

not until i post this, the mens department. lol

FYI overview of Hornet systems. link to ground power topic

Except 251, 312, 115, 232, 323, all routinely did CVW deployments in the past 2 decades.

Simple UFC design that i 3d printed at school. may redesign this down the road.

left vertical panel almost complete. all i need to do is design and fabricate the P-brake lever.

maybe someday, once i have the time to learn the programming. right now i will be using leo bodnar controllers.

i would love that as well
