Yep, but then you'd be grabbin' the wrong stick :) It'd be called HOTAD

It always pops up for me once I go to Full Flaps

No matter, even though my MS Paint doesn't even have a conversion to Direct Draw Surface, I managed to find a free converter

Here's what I got

I have Adobe Photoshop CS4 and I don't see any .dds file type that it can be saved as

Started at ramp, placed E brake on and took off twice...it did drag a bit more than normal but was airborne without going AB

Now as i read that thread, it seems like just pulling the E brake alone should NOT cause any braking, you must also apply toe brakes, which is what you were saying/implying? ...then I remembered that occasionally my toe brakes start out depressed slightly especially when I noticed strange behavior on carrier landings (I could not raise the tail hook or the catch wire would not release...all due to input from toe brakes which I could not see unless I had the CTL-ENT grid on. So I wonder if that's what caused it...Unless it happens all the time...I just landed a few tims and set the E brake and even tho the grid showed brakes were at max level, I ran off the end of the runway...I did not use toe brakes

FWIW, I did find this in a old thread but it is for the A-10C...but perhaps the mechanisms are similar... "Emergency Brake System An emergency brake system is provided in the event that the normal brake system fails. The emergency brake system is activated by first pulling the EMER BRAKE handle fully aft and then depressing the rudder/brake pedals. The right hydraulic system supplies the emergency brake system which has the same capabilities as the normal brake system except anti-skid protection. The emergency brake system is fully independent of the normal brake system except for the dual power brake valve, shuttle valve, and brake assembly. Should left hydraulic system pressure become available while emergency braking is selected the emergency brake system still retains control of the brakes. Emergency braking power is provided by the emergency brake accumulator should the right hydraulic system fail. Actuation of the EMER BRAKE handle ports right hydraulic system pressure to the emergency brake system. Right hydraulic system pressure provides unlimited emergency braking."

Sorry, I intruded here when I should have kept my mouth shut...:(

So do my pedals, but they release when I let up. You're saying the lever LOCKS the brakes, are you not?

Takeoff, landing or both

It'd be nice having something like that for Mission Comms Frequencies and so forth instead of the pop-up page that takes up nearly a third of the screen

Did you confirm that both brakes are on full with CTL-ENTER or was that just your feeling?

Another question while we're on this topic...Wags, last statement on Basic Operation : "If a TGT point is set, the seeker will auto-Slave to the location. Once slaved, press the HOTAS undesignate button to allow manual slew." Does this mean that once the Undesignate is pushed, will the TDC slew back up to the Velocity Vector or will it just stay in the area that the TGT was previously locked...hopefully the latter, that way we can quickly lock a specific target in that area rather than slewing it all the way back down from the VV indicator...designated WPTs can then be used to lock a point on the ground and we can quickly fine tune the lock as we approach the targeted WPT...is that possible?

Yeah I asked this

So the Hornet just does not have this system? Damn, I really like using a display that shows targets as white dots against a black background on occasions...:(

So the Longbow doesn't use its WHOT/BHOT for tgt acquisition with MAVs or Hellfires? And let me just clarify this. Are you saying that the IR MAV is not capable of locking a target that has been acquired via a BHOT/WHOT system? Or can it use such a system, but it just happens that the Hornet does not use a display to show you BHOT vs WHOT environs?

Ok, so the points of contrast are based on heat and not color...so why would we not have the option to use polarity in getting a better picture of our potential target? Wags already said that the Hornet does not use White Hot or Black Hot polarity displays...;but I know other platforms use them

And that means? Could you explain WHT locking points as opposed to BLK locking points? What are these points? Points of contrast? Where are they located? If so, then for all I know I could be locking onto a big boulder instead of a tank.

Care to hazard another guess? :) What is meant by this statement exactly? "TRACK does NOT indicate seeker tracking state." Does this mean that we cannot be sure if we locked onto a tank or a piece of ground besides it? So when the tank moves, we miss? Am I reading that correctly?

Also, how do we track GMT?? So you got a column of MOVING tanks...will the release of the TDC be forgiving enough to lock them while they are moving?

and not polarity...BUT will the reversion to WHITE symbology from BLACK after each launch be fixed??? Plus holding the TDC while slewing sounds cumbersome...is this a workaround for Force Correlate? Meaning: When we let go of the TDC, will the seeker lock onto whatever it's pointed at? Including neutral TOOs? AND, can the MAVF be used against land based targets as well as ships? Otherwise, we have nothing in the A2G missile category that we can launch autonomously (F&F)

Is Link 16 and/or SA similar to AWACS' PICTURE request?

Yep, I see it in the video especially the impact is easy to see with the snow background...were you using the Zoom In feature? Maybe it has something to do with that...idk
