      Have asked before, but… How do I display TACAN/ILS in the FA18 in CV ops. Got the correctTACAN CH set, but don’t see and “needles”
      Also, can I pick upo the CV on A2G radar (SEA mode)?

              Hey Pop
              Silly question but are you changing the Tacan from the centre DDI or are you changing the channels using the up front control panel in the DED?

                              Constructed a CV TE with 4 flts , E2, TarCap, Sead, strike. 9 A/c launch with 2 min between flts. E2 first, TRARCAP, SEAD and then Strike. Bad guys 2 Su 27 (AA10’s and 4 su 35’s ). Only me as a “live” pliot. We cleaned house! All flts, with the exception on the STRIKE completed their goals. But then heading for “mother” picked up the CV on A2G SEA mode at 40 NM, and the “home” way point advanced. At 20nm called for landing and CATAC gave all A/C “radar vectors to final”!!
                              Gona stick some wx in the next mission. Still lacking IFR approachs in the FA18!!!

                                      No ILS for carriers.

                                      cf BMS Manual, 8.4.2 : Carrier trap landing.

                                        You don’t need ILS anyhow do you? Just turn on ACLS. 😛

                                        😉
