Load/save default cockpit state at start of "instant action"

[Hammerhead]

Is there a way to load default cockpit states at the start of an instant action mission with an air start? When jumping straight into the action, I always have to go through the same routine again which is annoying because when I'm done, I'm either already shot down, or I have lost situational awareness.

Things like:

- dispenser mode select switch

- ASPJ power and mode selector

- EW page mode and program

- HMD powered on

etc

 

In Falcon BMS there is a keyboard command that saves (ALT+C, then S) and loads (ALT+C, L) this stuff.

 

I know you can edit the default CMDS release programs by editing the file located under:

\Mods\aircraft\FA-18C\Cockpit\Scripts\TEWS\device

but I was wondering if you can also edit default cockpit states, especially for an air start because starting with ECM and release programs OFF with MIGs in front of your nose is completely retarded (e.g. the new "Persian Gulf FA-18 Strike Fighter" instant action mission which takes ages to load to start with)

Use VoiceAttack ($10) and create voice macro's is what I do. Right HSI, TACAN on ICLS on, TACAN and ILS on HSI, Course, Map scale, Altimeter (FPS/Indicator), all done by voice, u can make this 1 voice command if you wanted

That's a good idea if there is no other alternative. I used VAC a long time ago so I'll give that a try. Thanks

VA lets you also assign such one long macro to 1 key or 1 button, never tried that though

I agree a key to save setup would be great. Would save a lot of time.

They're working on a data cartridge functionality which will take care of a lot of these suggestions

Oh cool. Can't wait to see that. Much more realistic.

Sweet, I have the same issue: I don't want the clock in my HUD, I don't use the radar if there is no need for a radar in that particular mission, I use true heading instead of magnetic, I set the radar altimeter differently, ...
