sniperpr1 Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Could someone explain to me how do I use the MIDS A & B switch on the F/A-18C throttle? What does pressing the switch do? I have the WinWing throttle (Orion) specifically but I'd like to know what is it suppossed to do in real life. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norman99 Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 (edited) It provides 2 additional voice comm channels, via secure datalink. Basically think of it like whatsapp voice chat vs standard cellular voice calls (which are your VHF/UHF radios). In DCS, it’s not functional. Saying that, SRS does simulate MIDS A & B voice comms when in multiplayer. I’m sure others could provide a more in-depth technical description of its operation.

markom Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 FWIW, I map those two additional positions to "Hornet Ball" and "Ready Pre-contact", because those are the times when I really don't want to fiddle with menus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sniperpr1 Posted August 4, 2022 Author Share Posted August 4, 2022 Thanks a lot. I imagined it had to do something with voice comms but since it has two other channels I wasn't sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
