Swift. Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 There are lots of HOTAS functions that hornet has IRL that we simply don't have in DCS, I think its been long enough let's start to see some of them implemented. 476th Discord | 476th Website | Swift Youtube Ryzen 5800x, RTX 4070ti, 64GB, Quest 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudel_chw Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 There are lots of HOTAS functions that hornet has IRL that we simply don't have in DCS .. Lots? like what? .. I learned the F-18C reading the Natops manual and didn't miss anything on the HOTAS.

This was the original post, I can't verify any of that but I know pressing Castle right will bring up the radar on the right and pressing Castle aft will cycle between HSI and SA on the MPCD. 476th Discord | 476th Website | Swift Youtube Ryzen 5800x, RTX 4070ti, 64GB, Quest 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudel_chw Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 This was the original post ... Thanks for the link, I wasnt aware of that thread, as I'm no longer visiting Hoggit due to the general negativity of their comments. Well, the list certainly looks like a lot ... tough I wonder if my memory would be able to memorize so many functions and the conditions for the use of each, paragraphs like this seem a bit daunting: Independent of master mode, or the cockpit, if PB 12 (HOTAS EW) is unboxed on the EW Top Level and the TDC is assigned to either the HSI or SA format, a subsequent activation of the corresponding sensor control switch toward that format will replace the format with the next format in the sequence (HSI, SA, HSI, SA,...). Also note that if the displayed format is a sublevel of the HSI or SA format, then the first sensor control switch activation will return the format to its top level. Subsequent activations can then be used to cycle formats. :( For work: iMac mid-2010 of 27" - Core i7 870 - 6 GB DDR3 1333 MHz - ATI HD5670 - SSD 256 GB - HDD 2 TB - macOS High Sierra For Gaming: 34" Monitor - Ryzen 3600 - 32 GB DDR4 2400 - nVidia RTX2080 - SSD 1.25 TB - HDD 10 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Cougar Mobile: iPad Pro 12.9" of 256 GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swift. Posted March 27, 2020 Author Share Posted March 27, 2020 Its just written a bit poorly, once ED add these functions then it will all make sense. 476th Discord | 476th Website | Swift Youtube Ryzen 5800x, RTX 4070ti, 64GB, Quest 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarTzi Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 (edited) HOTAS functionality is so simple to code. If it's not in by now (and it is in the F-16 which is less mature), it's because ED has no documentation on it.

Marauder.exe Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 According to a USMC pilot I've been in contact with the RAID/FOV button on the throttle will switch between RWS and TWS when a L&S target has been made. The workflow he described was as follows: 1. STT or bug L&S in RWS/LTWS 2. Depress RAID/FOV button on throttle 3. Radar will go into TWS AUTO at max volume depending on last selected bar setting 4. RAID/FOV again will enter SCAN RAID mode 5. Depressing RAID button again will exit SCAN RAID and return to TWS AUTO Hopefully ED can confer with their SME's and verify all this. Note: the pilot in question has been flying Lot 15-19 Hornets, so i would assume this is not a question of a newer software package. Especially essential functions like A/A HOTAS.

Santi871 Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Pressing RAID in RWS still should switch to TWS without an L&S, but in that case manual centering is selected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airhunter Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 +1 all the functions for the relevant systems that we have in game should be present in my opinion. Why does the Viper have it but the Hornet doesn't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swift. Posted April 6, 2020 Author Share Posted April 6, 2020 Why does the Viper have it but the Hornet doesn't? Because the focus thus far, has been on adding new weapons (probably at the request of the masses) which has left stuff like basic Navigation and PVI ignored. 476th Discord | 476th Website | Swift Youtube Ryzen 5800x, RTX 4070ti, 64GB, Quest 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which means ED are making it up as they go and have no real development plan/roadmap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadCat1381 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Plans change. All of the time. The more you plan, the harder reality hits you. I'm a work planner/ scheduler and I have to adjust the plan almost every day. But I'd prefer to get some of the basic stuff for the hornet done by ED before getting more weapons as well. Like the ASPJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firefox121 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 About HOTAS functions I am totally disagree with the missing functions, and I will explain why : A few years ago, when I was flying Jane's F18 , in a Tiger Meet exibition near my home, at Albacete Airbase, I talked with a f18 pilot from a spanish squadron from Ala 12, "no le busques los tres pies" who was a fan simulator too.... this pilot tell my friends and me, in a conversation, that it was (or it is) easier to fly the real plane that the simulated one, because in real life EACH pilot programmes his HOTAS for his preferences..... then in one single click can for example bring A/A screen and put the radar in TWS .... in the MFD he chooses....so I think DCS F/18 is the BEST simulation of a plane in DCS world.....with permission of harrier , f14 and even f5. But It is only my opinion based on a friendly talk.... Good Fligh to everyone....and sorry for my english....is not my native language as you can confirm lol. :music_whistling::music_whistling: Intel i9 10850k - MSI Tomahawk 490z - 64 GB DDR4 3000 - HP Reverb G2 - MSI optix Mag321curv 4k monitor - MSI RTX 3080ti - Winwing Orion Throttle base plus F18 stick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the list certainly looks like a lot ... tough I wonder if my memory would be able to memorize so many functions and the conditions for the use of each, paragraphs like this seem a bit daunting: :( I had trouble with the small section on the Sensor Switch in the DCSW manual for the F/A-18! I did a table in a spreadsheet (ROWS for FWD,AFT, Left, Right & COLS for A/A, A/G, NAV, ALL-MODES) and it was quite a bit clearer. I can have it on a side-screen on a tablet to refer to during the flight (in training though - in combat it would be too slow reading).
