Cpt. TRIJJ Posted June 4, 2023 Posted June 4, 2023 I go to TAC page, then to Supt Page, look over to left-side Panel for the HMD Tab and it is not there. I have tried with/without AA on. I've clicked every button on numerous Pages and haven't found it yet. I missed something here. Where is it?
Solution Razor18 Posted June 4, 2023 Solution Posted June 4, 2023 (edited) Did you switch HMD on at all with the rheostat in a first place, on the right bottom corner of the instruent panel? Edited June 4, 2023 by Razor18 1
Cpt. TRIJJ Posted June 4, 2023 Author Posted June 4, 2023 From what I recall from the Tutorial (and again I may have been distracted looking elsewhere) that I missed this "rheostat". Thnx Razor

Further searching in the F/A 18 Manual and in DCS World F/A 18(Google), finds no mention of the word rheostat. I did see Castle Switch (which was a new term for me). Saw other comments from other flyers who were just as lost as me. Apparently, there are other conditions that must be met before this HMD shows up. I'm still lost, so some1 give me abit more info??

Sorry, should have used the word "knob". But if you wanted to look up HMD functions, I hope you also tried the search for the term "HMD"... Edited June 5, 2023 by Razor18

Do you have a HMD equipped? When you turn the HMD brightness knob up and look right or left do you see HMD symbology (if you look straight ahead it will be very limited symbology)? If not you likely don't have it equipped. You can change it out on the ground via Ground crew radio menu or set it to be equipped in the mission editor. Try turning on your NVG and if that comes on your HMD isn't equipped (it's an either or option) so you'll never get the menu option.
