Real F18 HOTAS commands?

[Tree_Beard]

Hi all. I just placed an order for a brand new Winwing Orion 2 HOTAS with the F18 throttle and stick grips after 2 years of flying with a T16000m.

What I'd like to do is bind the controls on my new HOTAS as closely as possible to what the controls of the real jet are. 

What I need is either a complete profile or a clear diagram of the real F18 HOTAS controls, so I can bind those to my Orion 2 as best I can. I have not been able to find this info via quick google searches, but hoping someone can help me out. 

Thanks.

Have you checked Chuck's Guides?  I fly f16 and found a very 1:1 mapping based on some pictures and explanations in the guide.

 

Oh, and I too have the WW orion2 gear.  When you first set it up, you may be amazed that everything is already bound.  Can't remember if that required using WW's simapp pro software first, but there are some great headstarts available.

realistic HOTAS configuration is part of the official manual that comes with the module.
