JHMCS question

[av8r13]

I have the JHMCS symbology visible even when i am looking straight forward at the HUD. it doesnt appear to be all of the sybology, just the target square and a couple of other symbols.

 

is this normal? the F-16 seems to represent this better (as far as my knowledge). when you are looking at the HUD, the JHMCS completely disappears.

 

thanks in advance

AFAIK that's normal behavior (also remember that the JHMCS on the Hornet isn't exactly the same as the HMCS on the Viper, different software I believe).

You can use the RECCE switch to disable and enable to JHMCS overlay, without having to manually adjust the HMD rotary dial. Personally, I use this all the time to avoid the overlay as the blink functionality isn’t the cleanest (even with adjustment).

i will use the recce switch temporarily.

The primary reason I regularly use the RECCE button/switch. It also gets you in the habit of properly placing the aircraft when employing A/A weapons, aside from the AIM-9 variants.

Talking about the RECCE switch, in the Viper, does the Hornet have this convenience. It is cool to use in the Viper.

I am not aware of switch to off JHMCS in the fly without using the rotary on/off knob.

The Hornet has a bindable option for the RECCE switch, and current implementation only enables and disables the JHMCS overlay (without having to use the rotary knob). Hopefully future updates can bring the remaining functionality to the Hornet, but time will tell.

 

 

Search RECCE in control options.

 

 

Unknown for the Viper, as I won’t be purchasing that aircraft until it is complete.

TMS Down toggles the JHMCS Off/On in the Viper (with the rotary dial turned up)

^^ should be read as TMS aft ^^

Thanks daarseth. Let hope the Viper is developed in time. I kind of think the Viper systems will be less complex to implement compare to the Hornet.

Yes, this is the function I was looking for in the Hornet if in the software. Will be checking the recce function to see if it does same. Edited December 20, 2019 by Eaglewings

DMS Aft Long, for the Viper, not TMS Aft Long

The RECCE does, promise. I use it all the time. You’ll be happy, as it is what you’re searching for.
