Target Dessignation in F-18

[Ernst]

When I made a waypoint and changed it in the UFC into a Target all is working fine,so the bomb fall line in the air is visable and the auto system is working.As soon as you use your nosewheel in Hi on the ground { keyboard S ] or in the Air it is not possible to get the Target designation back in the HUD and also there is no bomb fall line.Is there a solution for this?

The nosewheel steering (NWS) button is also the target undesignate button. See if maybe it gets stuck or something, as that would probably make for an instant undesignation. With wings spread and locked, your NWS should go HI only as long as you hold the button, see if it does that.

I use NWS all the time, both on the ground and as undesignate, and have no such issue. I do not use the keyboard, but the corresponding button on my Warthog, if that may change something.

NWS is also the undesignate button.

 

To re-designate your desired waypoint as a target - simply depress WPDSG on the HSI or the SA page with the desired waypoint selected (via OSB pushbuttons on either display, indicated by up or down arrow on the DDI/AMPCD)
