Realistic Weapon Select mapping

[memoric]

Hello

 

 

I plan to buy a F/A-18 HOTAS from winwing. For that I want to map the controlls as realistic as possible.

 

 

So my question is, can someone please give me the realistic positions for select the sparrow/sidewinder/gun/amraam?

 

 

I found pictures in this thread:

But on Chuck's guide it says something else.

 

 

So what the realistic one?

 

 

Thank you!

Thank you for your reply!

 

 

i don't see anything from the NATOPS refering this. Am I blind? There only stands Weapon Select switch. And couldn't find it in the PDF aswell.

 

 

Thank you!

From the DCS F-18 manual:

 

Weapon select switch. Four position switch which selects A/A weapon in A/A aircraft master mode.

Switch functions are discrete inputs.

 

• Forward: Activates AIM-7, displays the priority missile. Commands a radar antenna four

bar elevation, 140° azimuth scan, 40-mile range selection, and interleaved prf.

 

• Center Push: Activates AIM-9 and displays the priority missile. Commands a radar

antenna four bar elevation, 90° azimuth scan, 10 mile range selection for AIM-9P and AIM9M / 20 mile range for AIM-9X, and interleaved prf.

 

• Aft: Activates gun and displays gun. Commands GACQ to the radar system, a range of

5nmi, radar antenna azimuth scan of five bars, with 20° elevation scan (vertical scan).

Configures sensor control switch to the ACM condition.

 

• Right: Activates AIM-120 and displays priority missile. Commands a radar antenna four

bar elevation, 140° azimuth scan, 80 mile range selection for AIM-120B / 160 mile range

election for AIM-120C, and interleaved prf.

 

Note: If a target is tracked in STT or as an L&S, the weapon select swich should only change

the weapon and not affect radar operation based on weapon selection.
