No, in the Hornet you use the AZ/EL as a visual representation of the altitude stack and radar elevation.

Some thing you can do is decenter the map on either HSI or SA and that will double the scale looking infront of you.

That's the morse code identifier for the tuned TACAN station.

You're starting the wrong engine/generator first.

When you go to undesignate, make sure the pod is not in track.

Yes, you have the same designation and STT capability on the Attk, AZ/EL and SA. (Via TDC)

@Bunny Clark has a chart showing all of the HOTAS functions which might help.

Now for specifics:

BVR:
RWS initialized radar mode, PB 5 to toggle between TWS

TWS accessed through PB 5, TDC over PB 5 text, or PB 10 in STT

VS exclusively via TDC over PB 5 label

LTWS it's a misnomer. Not a radar mode at all, just a display function. (Shows track file data for a TUC in RWS. Default)

ACM: SCS FWD changes SCS to ACM logic

GACQ Gun acquisition, commanded when gun is selected. Enters ACM.

BST SCS FWD with HMD off

VACQ SCS AFT with HMD off, or AFT from WACQ with HMD/9X

WACQ SCS left
HACQ SCS FWD with HMD
LHACQ SCS FWD long

AACQ/FACQ: SCS toward the radar display. Commands STT on the highest priority track, the L+S, or the first contact detected.

FACQ same as above, but is when the TDC is over a track/hit. Takes priority over AACQ

STT: STT commanded via
SCS AACQ/FACQ
TDC depress on L+S or hit
Cage/uncage with sparrow selected

RAID: Rapid Assessment
Commanded with RAID/FLIR FOV switch in TWS/STT. Or, automatically in STT with 1Look.

SPOT: RWS/TWS space stabilized narrow search commanded with TDC depress long.

Yep that's it, FCS takes care of it, in non ACM flight you'd only use the pedals if you wanted an intentional yaw. Sweeping strafe for example.

No, it is absolutely not a separate system. The TACAN functionality in the Hornet is run off the MIDSL LVT, it is in fact the same system. When it's powered, you will get some MIDS functions as well.

Not really a thing on these modern engines, the only time it's even mentioned in the aircraft manual is in relation to ingestion of ice.

TV/IR is RAID/FLIR FOV switch long press

Dashed should be designation, solid Is STT, flashing would be missile launched last I heard from an SME. Never seen anything but dashed in DCS.

Sent from my moto g stylus 5G (2022) using Tapatalk

Nope, it's there to keep the SA decluttered. Remember that SCS towards the HSI/SA will swap them.

Sent from my moto g stylus 5G (2022) using Tapatalk

Certainly just changed. Track deletion is no longer connected to hit age in any way.

You can hold a track in 6B 140° INTL...

This was with aging set to 2, a target at 40nm cold where it was only picked up in MED.

The CT12/3.7 is callsign and fuel state. Based off DCS naming conventions this is Colt 1-2 and 3.7 is his fuel state. (3700 lbs)

For the BRAA, look at the compass rose. The target bearing is the heading you would need to turn to put them on your nose. This is an absolute bearing rather than relative.

No, the HARMs need an emitter to be at accurate. The HARM is going to a location, at an altitude where it can best see emitters within a 1 or 5nm (no source atm) radius of the reference target point. The new AARGMs (AGM-88E) have a GPS and improved INS to try to hit an emitter at its last known location.

"Balance" being you primary concern is why this is a ridiculous notion.

The Hornet is limited to 7.5G for the sake of the lifespan of the aircraft. The limiter can easily be outrun to 8G+ which would happen IRL too. (You can even see it in a few HUD videos) there would be nothing close detrimental that the aircraft would endure at such a minimal over G.

Are there missing G effects? Sure. A/G stores would be damaged or ripped off at 5.5G+, targeting pod limit is somewhere around 7.8G. Now if ED dared to implement the same thing in the Viper, their would be riots. Difference is the -16 dosen't have a dynamic G limiter so in a simulation where you can't feel the G, you better be staring at the HUD or you're going to break something. While we're at it, at 8G+ simulate the pilot not being able to move their head.

TACAN fix, GPS IFA (and radar PVU but that's not modeled)

Flip to IFA and if there's GPS it will be fixed in some 10min.

I just went and re-watched the track. The only reason I entered a spin was because the spin recovery logic kicked in as I was getting a decent pirouette going. When it did, the aircraft gave me full rudder and aileron deflection which really started the spin. Also note that the rotation is way too anemic for a proper pirouette, you need to actually enter a "spin" to get close in DCS. i.e I only ever got to a sustained 37 deg AoA, yet to properly enter the pirouette maneuver you should be at 45 deg AoA, not possible in DCS.

Not at all. You can have 10 missiles guiding on 10 tracks simultaneously. Also, the missile will only go active at a pre-determined point, doesn't matter what you do in the jet. 

2. That's not possible. The "warning" comes from the missile itself.

Good questions!

Well yes, they're just different ways to refine the TGT point.

LITENING is the older model but it's in primary use by the USMC fromand bases. Not carrier rated.

ATFLIR is what's used off carriers and is much more modern.

Correct.

IRL it would just be a depress on a donor track to target it. Many other ways too. In DCS just creat an OS wypt with bulls as the OAP.

And? What says this shouldn't be possible?
