F18 Antenna Elevation and Cougar question

[Phil C6]

Hi, in the F18, is it possible to use the Antenna Elevation of the Cougar as in the F16?

I mean in the F16 the radar antenna position correspond at the position of the Axis of the Cougar Antenna elevation (so when you get the good position no need to put the axis in neutral position)

In F18 the system seems different when you move the Antenna Elevation of the Cougar when you get the good position you need to comeback at the neutral position (if not the antenna continue to going up or down)

It's very disturbing in Air air engagement

So if a solution exist please let me now

 

 

Oops sorry didn't noticed the sub forum for F18 and controllers and the question has been asked already but not for Cougar

Please a moderator could displace my thread?

 

 

Best regards

I think you’re stuck as is... the real hornet control for antenna elevation works the same way where it is spring-loaded to its center position.

Hi yes the prob is the Cougar isn't spring loaded

If you go into Controls and select Axis commands, in alphabetic order you will find a command saying "Radar Elevation Control". Being an analog axis, I'm quite conviced this it what you were looking for. Yes, it is a bit stupid, that they gave another name for the same function...

 

 

And just for the cherry on top, it will probably also function as FLIR zoom, as it does RL and in the SIM too

The problem is that they simulated a spring loaded return to center axis, but no HOTAS on the market has that kind of axis (at best Winwing HOTAS, but that's >800$).:music_whistling:
