Are you planning to add different fuzes to the suite? It would be a great addition to the payload section.

I haven't had a chance to try them yet. The ordnance page has no room, and I'm not sure that adding a separate page for what seems to be a mixed bag of cosmetics, bugs, and actually useful options is the best idea. Let's let the dust settle first

Lots of vertical blank space on the margins

Dirty liar!

 

Upd:

1. Checklists, Quickstart, Ordnance
>> Download from User Files <<

25 May 2024
- Ordnance page: bomb fuzing options added.

3. RWR Threats, HARM Radar Codes
>> Download from User Files <<

25 May 2024
- Tiny update: Heatblur's Phantom added. It's not in the database yet, so Hornet's RWR displays it as an unknown contact.

Thanks @Minsky.  It is still waiting approval in the user files section?  I see the last update on the post is still Aug '23 and I get a 404 when I try and download it.

I just checked and it works fine, you don't even need to be logged in to download. Try clearing your browser's cache or using incognito mode to force-refresh the page.

It's updated on my end now with the May '24 update when I checked.  Likely just things slowly propagating through on my end.  Thanks!

Hi @Minsky thank you so much for your work, the kneeboard suite is great. Please let me ask if you'd plan to add HOTAS table for F/A-18 similar to what you have created for A-10C - this is super useful for folks like me who fly 2-3 multiple aircraft in DCS and switching between them might not always remember every HOTAS combo.

Maybe someday, but not right now! Hornet's UI, at least to me, seems way easier than Warthog's, so I never felt the need for a HOTAS table. Just the joystick mapping diagram and a few A2A helpers, since I rarely do air combat and keep forgetting even the basics.

Understood, and thank you again!

you forgot to cycle the bleeds after engine start.

The cycling is only needed if the fire warning tests have been performed.

And since these are not strictly necessary in DCS, cycling can also be skipped.

That's why they both appear as optional items:
