Once again, not everyone has fancy HOTAS set ups, so there's a need to switch to mouse interaction/keyboard interactions, it's like why are all the instant action missions set up for air to air combat?? All I'm asking and nobody yet has said if it was possible or not, can the DDI's be set up differently for user preference on mission startups, for instant action missions.

It stands to reason that if you're practicing landings, the DDI's would be set up as such, with HSI. HUD and TACAN etc views, and not configured for Air to Air engagements ;)

and taking your hand off the stick and then using your mouse ;) 10 seconds when it could be set as default is 10 seconds less looking where your mouse is ! :D I'ts the same clicking around the cockpit, I don't have a fancy HOTAS set up, where you can have a trackball like the Warthog, all I was asking was can the default DDI set up for IA's be changed somewhere ;)

Yes!! This mission in particular, by the time I sort out my DDI's and drop my flaps, hook and gear I'm either in the drink or in the groove and in panic mode !! :megalol:

I have the same setup, no need to have keys assigned to finger lifts before or after the upgrade, pushing the throttle fully forward always engaged the AB's for me. I've attached mine, it's a slightly tweaked version of the ones in the user added files section Cal's F18C.diff.lua

Is there any way you can start off in quick start with the DDI's set up to the way you want them? As opposed to the default views? Current setting is Left DDI A/A weapons display and Left is A/A Radar.. can this be changed to different pages?

Your carrier is also only doing 11 knots, should it not be doing 25-30 knots ??

You can please some of the people some of the time, you cannot please all of the people, all of the time..

Sweet, is there an ETA for this??

A weird one, my TM16000 tonight has had all the re-programmed keystrokes suddenly switch, as in a mirror of what buttons were originally programmed, I'm not sure what I've done to cause this, any ideas?? I know for a fact I didn't re program them, as I just spent a week learning where they all were!!

A recent PM from the author stated once he's finished up the Swiss skins, he will look a the centennial ones, maybe 2-3 more weeks.

What's your default gamma settings ??

Yeah, it's the same thing for me, so saving traps and tracks for replay's is pointless, I have a feeling it's due to the algorithms and the carrier is a moving object, so each time the replay is replayed, the 2nd landing is off.

It's down to the game engine lighting and also possibly due to your gamma settings being too high, try lowering them, everything on mine seems too "bright" also, I think my gamma is 2.2 .

How do you simulate the final salute though, when there's A: No Cat Launch team visible (needs more 3d models, and animations_ B: No 3D pilot animations to go with it? :D

Here's a cool video, seems these checks literally take less than 30 seconds. http://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/20193/this-f-a-18f-pilot-rattling-off-his-launch-checklist-will-make-you-want-to-join-the-navy

I thought you did all those things prior to advancing the throttle for launch?? As in the controls check?

Yeah I've subscribed too, My landings are like a funky chicken!! though I'm practicing with the default mission, and not deploying my hook, just so I can "bolter" intentionally, to practice the groove. Dunno how many times I've had "Stennis" emblazoned on my canopy!! :D

care to share your mission??

Awesome job!!

can you possibly send the diff.lua as this system is alien to me !! :O

That would be very much appreciated mate, thank you.

At long last after a 4 day download I have the F18C up and running, is there any TM 16000M users out there with a decent HOTAS setup they'd be willing to share??

I did, thinking I was smart, and didn't heed the advice, to NOT force the update, and it's more than likely rolling back, and will need to go through the whole lot again to update to current build.

did you delete the original autoupdate.cfg by any chance?
