ZeeMan90 Posted June 12, 2018 Posted June 12, 2018 Superb guide Chuck! One tiny error I have noticed is on Page 65, Step 45: Set FLAPS lever to HALF. Both the tutorial startup and Wags' video "DCS: F/A-18C Hornet, Episode 3: Preflight, Startup, Taxi and Takeoff" require it to set the FLAPS lever to AUTO. In case both HALF and AUTO settings are fine disregard my hint :) Fractal Design Meshify 2 XL | ASUS ROG Strix Z690-E Gaming WiFi | Intel i7-13700K | Corsair iCUE H115i RGB Elite | 32GB Corsair Vengeance DDR5-600 | MSI RTX 3080 12GB | Seasonic TX-850 | 2x Samsung EVO 970 Plus 2TB M.2 nvme | 2x Samsung 990 Pro 2TB M.2 nvme | 2x Samsung EVO 860 1TB | Samsung EVO 870 4 TB | Acer XB241H | Win 11 Pro x64 | Røde NT-USB | Beyerdynamic DT-880 Edition 250Ω | Logitech G502 Proteus RGB | Corsair K70 | Corsair MM300 PRO | TM Warthog Throttle | VIRPIL WarBRD w/ Warthog grip | VIRPIL VPC MongoosT-50CM2 Base w/ VIRPIL MongoosT-50CM2 grip | VIRPIL MongoosT-50CM3 Throttle | VKB Gunfighter Mk.

triplec76 Posted June 13, 2018 Posted June 13, 2018 Thank you for your outstanding contributions. This is my first time reading one of your guides, and I'm really impressed with the amount of time you have dedicated for other members of the community.
WildBillKelsoe Posted June 13, 2018 Posted June 13, 2018 Finally man I have been waiting for this! Thanks and love! AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower. Open triangle is AWACS, closed triangle is your own sensors. Double dash is friendly, Single dash is enemy. Circle is friendly. Strobe is jammer. Strobe to dash is under 35 km. HDD is 7 times range key. Radar to 160 km, IRST to 10 km. Stay low, but never slow.

VKing Posted June 13, 2018 Posted June 13, 2018 On page 160, there are two boxes saying "COMM1/2 Preset channel selected. M: Manual. E: Emergency Guard (243.000)". The left one is pointing to the channel display for COMM1, showing M, the other is pointed to the channel selector knob for COMM2. (The label for COMM2 channel selector is pointing to the COMM2 channel display, which is showing 1). The guard channel in the Hornet is labelled "G", not "E", and there are many options other than E(G) and M (although those aren't really useful, but it could be nice to explain them).

DragonFlySlayer Posted June 14, 2018 Posted June 14, 2018 It gets updated. I just compared it to a week ago and it is three pages larger so I downloaded it again. It will grow.... I wonder.... when and if... we will see little yellow and green and red and white and purple vests, "crew man" wandering around about the flight deck? Only waiting to get sucked up in an intake!^%#%#^&
