LaLa Posted September 3, 2020 Posted September 3, 2020 In the Warthog, it was possible using the coolie hat to swap the left mfd display for the right and visa versa, is this possible in the hornet? If so how?
kengou Posted September 3, 2020 Posted September 3, 2020 You're going to find the Hornet's HOTAS functionality is much more limited than the Warthog's. Also, many pages are designed to be displayed on only one DDI, either left or right. There are some functions that display or change pages on different DDIs by pressing sensor select in the direction of that DDI, but those functions are not yet implemented. For example, swapping SA for HSI on the button DDI, or enabling az/el on the left DDI with radar on the right.

LaLa Posted September 3, 2020 Author Posted September 3, 2020 Thanx Kengou, I’m a bit surprized, so it one display is non-functional it could be quite problematic.
Brun Posted September 3, 2020 Posted September 3, 2020 There's no swap functionality, but you can display any page on either. Asus Z690 Hero | 12900K | 64GB G.Skill 6000 | 4090FE | Reverb G2 | VPC MongoosT-50CM2 + TM Grips | Winwing Orion2 Throttle | MFG Crosswind Pedals
Bunny Clark Posted September 4, 2020 Posted September 4, 2020 It's also less of an issue on the Hornet because all pages can be used on all displays at any time with the menu. The Hog isn't as flexible when it comes to page placement, so swapping the displays is more necessary. Oil In The Water Hornet Campaign.

The Hog isn't as flexible when it comes to page placement, so swapping the displays is more necessary. How is that? Hog can display any page at any display and it doesn't enforce layouts automatically. Do not expect fairness. The times of chivalry and fair competition are long gone.
Bunny Clark Posted September 5, 2020 Posted September 5, 2020 How is that? Hog can display any page at any display and it doesn't enforce layouts automatically. Assigning pages to different MFDs is a rather more time consuming and complex process in the A-10C than it is in the Hornet. If I decided mid-flight that I want a page on the other side, I can do that in less than a second through the Menu page in the Hornet. In the Hog it's much simpler to just swap sides if it gets you what you want. Oil In The Water Hornet Campaign. Bunny's: Form-Fillable Controller Layout PDFs | HOTAS Kneeboards | Checklist Kneeboards
