BMS F18 AG capability
-
I wonder if the F18 in BMS is capable of Air to Ground attacking.- If so, I cannot find at its cocpit the necesary functions.- At the BMS F18 cocpit diagram I cannot find how to change to AG mode, how to make the DED work, or its replacement in that aircraft. etc
-
you can always use the keyboard , there is a key stroke for it in options/control, I sam hunt with the 18 and of course you really don’t want to know what kind of mess I made of the 18 pit , I’d be better off flying the F-15 then I wouldn’t have to make those carrier landings
-
I precisely like the F18 for its challenging carrier operations, and first would like to explore all the 3d cocpit functions before using the keyboard.-
Well, trying and pressing all around the cocpit I found a button which leads to all of the DED list options.- (It is not explained at the BMS F18 cocpit diagram)
Now my problem is that cannot find the way to tune Tacan freq and prefix, may somebody can show it to me
Thanks -
Works very well for a variety of AG roles …. JDAM, MK-8x, CBU, LGB, Mav, SLAM & SLAM(ER), etc.

AA and AG selector is on the left side of the pit near the master arm. Very small switches.

I checked and printed that diagram, and found everything necesary for ground attacks, but still cannot find how to set the Tacan frequencies and prefixes

You can input TACAN via “1” on the UFC, or Num 1 on the keyboard.
To get the DED to work hit the on/off , TCN,and ILS buttons under the UFC keypad. I think on/off turns on the DED. I’m not sure if you have to hit the TCN button for the TACAN to work. All I can tell you I always hit it and TACAN always works:D
Other DED notes-In my pit at least, the DED brightness knob doesn’t work. However, shift+alt+z (if memory serves) brings up the DED/PFL display
