S. Low Posted February 1, 2020 Posted February 1, 2020 Hey everybody, I'm not sure what this is called. Is it a cassette, flash drive, a disc? I'm not sure, but it's the settings device pilots load into the flight computer before take off and it contains their waypoint information and other things. I'm curious if this thingy saves their preferred EW settings, bomb settings for various munitions, Radar settings for the 7M and 120, etc. If so, is there any hope of getting this as a feature for the Hornet and have it in the loadout options? Like I could set up the settings file in mission editor then save the disc/cassette/whatever to my various weapons loadouts and then each time i start a mission I can have the ground crew load my custom loadout which would contain the settings for all my various weapons, CMS, and radar.

Arctander Posted February 4, 2020 Posted February 4, 2020 They included it in a newsletter a year ago. Then went silent. Don’t expect it anytime soon
G B Posted February 4, 2020 Posted February 4, 2020 Data Cartridge is not a term for the F/A-18. In the legacy hornet it is called an AMU. In the rhino it is called a DMD. It is colloquially known as a “mission card.” It gets paired up with a “maintenance card” and both go into the jet.
