danep Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Missions 3 and 4 (and possibly others) require you to record specific displays (HUD, FLIR). However, I cannot find any information about how to do this after much Googling, reading the FA-18 DCS manual, and reading the Raven One docs. So how do we go TAPES ON? Don't get me wrong, I love the realism of this! I just think that since most players have never done it before and it's not intuitive, it probably deserves a callout in the developer notes.

Solution Devastator Posted July 7, 2022 Solution Share Posted July 7, 2022 (edited) you can check Chuck's guide for F18 (below is screenshot from it). Necessary switches are at video record section null Edited July 7, 2022 by Devastator 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pokeraccio Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 To pass the mission: We need just to place the video recorder switch as per mission briefing instruction. About the system (that I do not think is simulated in our DCS F18) trying to make it short should be 2 recorders with 2h of memory that are activated: - manually (MAN and record continuously the selection made by the switches) or - automatic (AUTO, when on A/A and A/G Master modes start recording continuosly. Pressing first trigger detent or weapon release button record the HUD regardless of its switch position, if in A/G master mode and there is FLIR on either DDI the record of the HUD is not automatic. 1 hour ago, danep said: Missions 3 and 4 (and possibly others) require you to record specific displays (HUD, FLIR).

danep Posted August 3, 2022 Author Share Posted August 3, 2022 I realize I never replied here, so just want to say thanks! That worked. I was looking at the wrong panel, I think there's switches mentioning something related to video under the HUD. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
