F-18 ramp start
-
Btw, does WDP work for f-18s? Especially those saved DTC settings.
-
Yes. Avionics wise the F-16 is a Viper in Hornet’s clothing.

Thanks to all of your tutorials. I am able to get the jet started, fly off and land back fine. Just some minor questions:
1. I got this green light says “AI” on the right panel right next the UPC. Is it some kinda fault?
2. When I am landing the jet, the way FPM and AOA landing bracket behaves is very different from that of F16. In F16 when you increase AOA by pulling back on stick, the FPM will sink in the bracket. But for hornet, it’s the opposite way: increase AOA will push FPM up the bracket. Is it cuz my flap settings are off?
3. Also, once I take off, my “W” marker (gun cross equivalent in F16) disappears on HUD.
4. Dogfight mode, no gun cross. Kinda annoying. -
I’m guessing it’s RWR-related to seeing “airborne intercept” radar. Try if the “AI” is present in a TE with only yourself in it. I think “CW” is the search radar S from the F-16.
-
On the real hornet, the AoA landing bracket is backwards when compared to the F-16. Haven’t flown the 33 hornet yet, but I guess they implemented that feature.

Nevermind. I think this is incorrect thinking (for many cases).

Ok, I see. I thought I broke something, lol.

But in dogfite mode, you don’t c the FPM either. There is simply no reference. I saw VRS superbug has gun cross in dogfite mode.

Well here is something I don’t quite understand. The gap between “W” and FPM is supposed to be your AOA right? So when I pull on stick, W representing nose would go up and the gap between w and fpm increases, right? But in hornet, when I pull stick the gap is shrinking. Or it’s actually the bracket that’s moving not the fpm?
-
In the hornet the bracket moves around the FPM. In the viper the bracket is fixed relative to the pitch ladder.

Oh, I c. Damn, need some practice to get used to it. LOL

I think everyone would agree with that, 4.33 release has been fantastic for me, boosted my fading love of falcon (shame) back to its origional state, I’m having blast learning new stuff and blowing shit up. :D….well done BMS team.

In RL the Hornet bracket also moves in reverse sense to the Viper bracket…the Indexers operate the same in each, but the Hornet one has two additional indications - “slightly slow” and “slightly fast”.
-
Also, the engine rpm counter doesn’t seem to work. I saw a few utube where the rpm works fine, with numbers going up from 25% to 70%.

Turn off smart scaling and/or shadows (try smart scaling first). There’s a thread around somewhere where Wavey Dave and one of the members figured it out.

Oh i c. But man, I love smart scaling.

Found a comprehensive check list for you (in English … ). Got the hint from Burner’s video … thanks for the link (MUCH less ‘vague and …’ than the one I’ve used).
Anyhow, checklist here: “F18-ABCD-000, NATOPS FLIGHT MANUAL NAVY MODEL F/A-18A/B/C/D 161353 AND UP AIRCRAFT, 7.1.4 Interior Check”
Oh my… Just downloded that what I did found using goole and “F18-ABCD-000, NATOPS FLIGHT MANUAL NAVY MODEL F/A-18A/B/C/D 161353 AND UP AIRCRAFT, 7.1.4 Interior Check” and hit print and went out when my neighbor call my for bit of help tthere.
Printer has stopped after 156 pages cause it run out of paper. Canceled printing cause I found that document has total of 902 pages… This document should have warning on fist page that it could cause several injuries if you drop it to your foots. -
