Arikaj Posted September 19, 2016 Posted September 19, 2016 Hey guys, I have some questions about the F/A-18C. Don't worry, I am not going to ask about the release day. :D Just let's hope it is gonna be this year. :) 1. Is the UFC as advanced as the CDU in A-10C? Offset option, markpoint system, etc. 2. MFDs questions 2.1 What can you actually display on them? TGP, HSD and so on. 2.2 Is the HSD as "colourful" as the TAD? Or only black screen with only steerpoints, etc.? 3. Is there a real life FA18C Manual out in the public? If so could you send me a link? That are my questions for the start. I am really looking forward to this module since it is my most favorite aircraft out there and wanted to start now with the manual right now to be prepared for it. Thanks. PS: One photo from this weekend's NATO Days in the Czech Republic.
Pocket Sized Posted September 19, 2016 Posted September 19, 2016 F-18A/B/C/D+ manual. Mainly covers base aircraft systems ie electrical/FCS. Includes lots of operating procedures/limits. http://www.avialogs.com/viewer/avialogs-documentviewer.php?id=3724 I'm assuming this is allowed to be posted, but I did hear some commotion involving Dash 1's in the A-10 forum. DCS modules are built up to a spec, not down to a schedule. In order to utilize a system to your advantage, you must know how it works.

PS: One photo from this weekend's NATO Days in the Czech Republic. Q1. UFC can be used to enter offset data. Designation of an OAP (A wypt with associated offset data) is performed by button pressing "boxing" on the HI (center MFD) or by HUD designation or radar designation.) Ofsett data similarly or by performing an Overfly update on an OAP .... point then becomes TGT. Q2.On either left or right MFD Q2.2 The centre MFD known as the HI ib the F18 can display various scales of topographic maps and other data .... yes just as "colourful" as the A10C

But I don't think you understood my Q2.1. I wasn't asking where can you display it, but what can you display on them. You have SMS, HSD, TGP, FCR page and so on. For example in real life I saw in the C model you can have HUD repeater on it (You can display HUD on the MFD, that's what I mean). But in Falcon BMS I don't see the option to display it on it. So will the DCS's FA18C display it? Or can it show RWR? So if you would be so kind and told me what the MFDs can show I'd very happy.

TGP,HUD,Link4/Link16,Stores display,FCS display,Radar displays,BIT displays. You can display all HI symbolic data on either of the MFD's however Topo map display is restricted to the HI
