When your thermal imaging countermeasures are just too good

Thanks to a very lucky finding on a YouTube video, I've found out that the 3 position landing light switch on the F-15C is the 8906K2423. Significant because it has the same two jewel/centre screw layout of the Hornet switch. Now just gotta dig in to the catalogue to find the two-position version

More infuriatingly perhaps, there's a way you could do it in the real A/C (slewing cursors on the HSI to the desired waypoint position), but that doesn't seem to have been implemented in the DCS version.

Yes - a thread elsewhere details it's composition.

Non-usable fuel?

Afraid not.

I get the feeling that people who want an Apache, probably already know it's a multi-crew affair.

+1.

This thread gives me Chris Roberts PTSD

This might be a dumb question, but did you remember to hit 'ON' for the ILS as well?

The real jet does and pretty sure the DCS one does too.

Got gifted F/A-18 Korea at about the same time I first watched Independence Day, I was 8 at the time. There's no way the Hornet's ever not going to be my favourite 4th Gen aircraft, and having it as a DCS module was always going to be a dream come true. That said, I do prefer the avionics of the Viper, but would happily pass that up for the ability to operate from a carrier.

Cheers, wasn't 100% sure on that but thought it worth a go

Hit the T/O Trim button on the left console.

Table says IAS so you'd need to calculate groundspeed from that
