Unless you print out the whole thing in color and bind it!!! LOL :doh:

 

 

Kidding aside great to see the F/A-18C Hornet guide out this pretty much right after official release to help us hornet simmers understand the hornet's workings.

 

Looking forward to the updates

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 :)

You didn't understand muehlema ......

 

Check out Chucks guide on the page I have mentioned and compare it with page 58 of the official early access guide ;-) I am talking about the FCS BIT test and not about Pre-Taxi.

 

Thanks

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.

I just wanted to say, even if Wags said Flaps to AUTO, Chuck is right, Flaps - HALF

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).

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!^%#%#^&

I propose a toast!

 

This would have to be the most awesome manual I’ve ever seen, blitzes anything ED manage to put together. An amazing and comprehensive guide, beautifully put together by the Chuckster.

Thank you big time brother.

Cheers G
