Harker Posted November 24, 2019 Posted November 24, 2019 In the Hornet's SA page, is there a way to see which target your wingmen are engaging? In a similar fashion to the Viper's HSD page, as shown in the last Viper mini-update. I know it's not implemented yet, I was just wondering if it was possible IRL.

According to Wags, the legacy hornet doesn’t have such feature. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=237196

It’s interesting to have a few differences between the two though. Otherwise, we get ‘generic 4th gen’ fighter. I’m waiting for the TGT DATA page on Hornet , that should be cool.
Harker Posted November 24, 2019 Author Posted November 24, 2019 I know, I'm just a Hornet fanboy . I wouldn't want them to include something that's not realistic.

In many ways the systems in the Hornet are more interesting and capable than the Viper’s yet without the Viper’s excellent man machine interface/ease of use. Quite a contrast.

It's frustrating. I think that the Hornet has more capable avionics overall, but it seems like the USN didn't prioritize their ease of use as much as the USAF did for the Viper. Damn shame.

Thank the lord for Thrustmaster Cougar MFDs, that’s all I say.
Harker Posted November 24, 2019 Author Posted November 24, 2019 Thank the lord for Thrustmaster Cougar MFDs, that’s all I say.Indeed.

AvroLanc Posted November 24, 2019 Posted November 24, 2019 Can you share some info on that? I have no idea what it does. I’m not entirely sure on the details either, but I believe it displays expanded data on the target under cursor in the SA page. For a friendly / PPLI this would show voice callsign, IFF codes and modes, fuel state, weapon state plus a few bits. For an unknown / hostile it would show aircraft ID and IFF code response or lack of, plus other bits.
Weasel Posted November 24, 2019 Posted November 24, 2019 I’m waiting for the TGT DATA page on Hornet , that should be cool. Could you please explain what you can do with the TGT DATA page?
Harker Posted November 24, 2019 Author Posted November 24, 2019 You can also view your flight's status I think, with fuel quantities and perhaps weapons codes. There's also a GO command and a NO GO command, but I don't know what these do. The vCVW-17 is looking for Hornet and Tomcat pilots and RIOs. Join the vCVW-17 Discord.

I’m guessing the GO, NO GO is a ‘status’ call to the flight lead. Maybe you’ve got a system fault or other issue that makes you mission ineffective. You’re a NO GO. The F-16 has similar information displayed in a line along the top of the HSD and FCR page. Although not yet implemented.
