Kayos Posted June 7, 2018 Posted June 7, 2018 Every time I try to use HSEL it will make the plane turn in circles. How do you make it fly to the active waypoint? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Kayos Posted June 7, 2018 Author Posted June 7, 2018 Ah, that pic helps :) Thanks guys! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
aileron Posted June 7, 2018 Posted June 7, 2018 I think you mean you wish to follow the waypoint paths, which should be the Course Select; CSEL. I personally haven't been able to get that to enable. I bet at this time its not enabled yet. HSEL, is just that, set your heading with the HDG Switch below the UFC on the LEFT side. You should see your Heading Bug move on the HSI. If you want to follow your waypoint just set it to the same course as your waypoint. You'll have to tweak it in flight to follow the course line perfectly unless you time your turns perfectly. ETA: ahh... people beat me to it, I couldn't find a good pic. :p

aileron Posted June 7, 2018 Posted June 7, 2018 Yea, I thought it might slave to the waypoints plus TACAN, but TACAN is normal for CSEL which a lot of autopilots can use/follow. When I look it up in the F18 manual. I don't see any slaving. :(

Dejjvid Posted June 7, 2018 Posted June 7, 2018 Semi related, when I toggle CRS nothing happens (except) CSEL in UFC. But nothing changes in the AMPCD. I tried inputting a course, the number flashes in UFC then disappear and nothing happens.

Thermal Posted June 7, 2018 Posted June 7, 2018 CSEL works for TACAN right now, not sure about other navigation modes.
Rowan Posted June 7, 2018 Posted June 7, 2018 I use the csel to help line up the runway for landing, quite helpful, especially at night, it's the only use I have found for it so far.
Alleluia Posted June 7, 2018 Posted June 7, 2018 you need to have a point selected, either an active tacan or a waypoint in order to have csel doing something. For that you need to have TCN or WPT boxed on the hsi vgruk.com
kreisch Posted June 7, 2018 Posted June 7, 2018 Csel only draws a line guys, this will not control your plane ;) Gesendet von meinem F5121 mit Tapatalk Ugly-Squadron GamestarPinboard
Shadoga Posted June 7, 2018 Posted June 7, 2018 You have to set the HSI scale to a value so that the selested TACAN station symbol is visible within your HSI scale range. If the TACAN symbol is not visible (scale too small), the course arrow will not appear on the screen.
TonyG Posted June 7, 2018 Posted June 7, 2018 We are missing CPL, coupled steering mode, which will couple the autopilot to the selected waypoint or tacan signal. 9800X3D, MSI 5080 , G.SKILL 64GB DDR5-6000, Win 11, MSI X870, 2/4TB nVME, Quest 3, OpenHornet Pit
fitness88 Posted June 7, 2018 Posted June 7, 2018 I've mapped both heading and course select to my joystick and it makes it so much easier as they will start to move rapidly after a few seconds of hold down.
poochies Posted June 7, 2018 Posted June 7, 2018 Here is a quick pic I took to show someone else about how to use this. I was using the ATC and heading select when being lazy sightseeing.:) How do you use automatic throttle control ?
Revelation Posted June 7, 2018 Posted June 7, 2018 How do you use automatic throttle control ? There is a button on the Hornet HOTAS for that function, look in the control list under HOTAS and assign the button. From there you simply depress the button at the desired speed and, with little variation, will maintain the desired speed.

poochies Posted June 7, 2018 Posted June 7, 2018 Aweomse thanks for the help thought it would be more involved than that, I'm on the road using a game pad and these micro throttle changes to keep that damn AOA perfect on carrier landings is near impossible ! Hopefully ATC helps, but I don't think of it as cheating using a gamepad :-)
fitness88 Posted June 7, 2018 Posted June 7, 2018 I think ATC will come into more efficient use once F18 is updated to allow for waypoint steering and auto carrier landing. Currently my throttle/speed stays fairly constant when flying from point "A" to "B".
ebabil Posted June 10, 2018 Posted June 10, 2018 instead of clicking and holding the heading switch, can i enter desired heading directly to ufc? if yes how? can i do it also for course sel?

snowsniper Posted November 5, 2018 Posted November 5, 2018 Hi all HSEL works nicely a free flight mission. but once I touch something like FCS / Bit test / or just trim it doesn't work anymore. and didn't find any way so far to make it work again in same flight . ? anyone know how to reset it ? i7-10700KF CPU 3.80GHz - 32 GO Ram - - nVidia RTX 2070 - SSD Samsung EVO with LG TV screen 40" in 3840x2150 - cockpit scale 1:1 - MS FFB2 Joystick - COUGAR F16 throttle - Saitek Pro Flight Rudder Pedals
