This is my set-up for switching between the Winwing F-18 and F-16 throttles.

Sorry mate, I didn’t read your post properly.

What about the F-86 Sabre cockpit? Same era, single engine, similar gunsight and weapons

I had a similar problem a little while ago. Check your joystick setup and make sure that your pitch deadzone isn't on 0. It might be that your joystick is slightly off center therefore not allowing your AP ALT HOLD to engage. Therefore try setting your deadzone to 1.

Hi I volunteer at an aircraft museum in Australia and we're looking to set-up a flight sim using DCS and VR the same as you've done. Can you tell me what the process is for obtaining a DCS Commercial Licence. Cheers

I've done a function check of the JHMCS in the real Hornet and that is done using the DDI and JHMCS symbology. I believe what Fri13 has posted about the JHMCS calibration is correct. If need be I can asked my mates that still work on the Hornets. As for the marks in the top right corner of the HUD I was told by the guys in the Avionics workshop that they are use for the HUD calibration process.

I'm ex-Aussie Air Force and I worked on Hornets for a few years. We'd sometimes get a few FCS BLINs on startup and there's a few different extra tests that you can advise the pilot to do to help clear/isolate the fault. There's separate manuals for the FCS and Fault Isolation, that's when you'd use your BLINs. When I was running the flight line desk and launching jets it was procedure to have these 2 manuals opened and ready to access quickly. As for the FCS exerciser, we would always try to fault find a jet with FCS problems as soon as possible after it had shut down. That way the FCS and Hyd fluid is still warm. The FCS exerciser was used if you had a cold jet and you needed to get everything warmed up to operating temperatures. You could always expect FCS faults after the pilots had been doing BFM lol.

RAAF uses the cheek station too

Hey mate, First select the aircraft you want to fly and you'll get it's information on the left of the screen. Then hit the Configure button(red circle) and that will bring up your particular aircraft configuration window. On the bottom left hand corner you'll see the drop down selection for player/client(red circle). Select Player and you're good to go. Cheers, Browny

Thanks Snowy. Sorry for my late reply...still getting used to using the forums. I noticed on another forum that you're a fan of the F-111. I was on the back ramp of a Herc with the photographers that took all the great pics of the Pigs off the Gold Coast doing the dump and burn runs. Every time they flew under us the whole Herc just shook.

Hey mate the actual operational limits of the Hornet RADALT is 0 to 5000ft. therefore the RADALT won't operate above 5000ft.

I found this in another post which shows it's location: http://forums.eagle.ru:8080/showthread.php?p=3545232

Ha Ha I bet there's a bunch of people now wondering what and where 10R and 13R are. On Aussie Hornets the only time I've seen the AV cool emergency air inlet popped during start-up was during the post deep level maintenance test flight.

Hugh, Mate you have done our Hornets a great justice with your skins. I have just retired from the Air Force after 30 years and my last aircraft unit was 77SQN (2014-2016) which included a tour overseas as part of Op OKRA. Are you planning to do any skins of the Hornets from Op OKRA, in particular the jets with the bomb counts on them?
