Every F/A-18 flight is given the exact same callsign.

@Cloud:
YES.
Try it out, even if it takes for a few flights, it will revert to Sting and Hornet.

Let me make sure I’m understanding this right.
When a F18 flight is created the game can only choose between Hornet or Sting callsigns and there is no way to change, add to or edit this? - I don’t mean after the flight is created.
I would like to be able to edit it so it can choose from 3 or 4 but I guess that’s not possible and i’ll need to use MC every time.

Correct, I’d just get used to it. What you can do is you can make your hornet squadron not “controller by HQ” (if you find the squadron info page). Then it won’t task your squadron. Then you only have what? Maybe 2-3 AI squadrons off the boat. That’s what I do. Works well enough for me. Or you can just go in mission commander and change it for every flight.

No, in the long run you can’t do anything, it is code controlled. THERE ARE ONLY TWO callsigns assigned to the F18’s.
Yes, you can do what Bellc09 stated, nothing more.
ALSO: Remember, this is an F16 Sim, way back when, F18’s and carrier ops were not even thought of, so why would they assign a bunch of callsigns to Hornets?!?!?!

I’ve been an addict to carrier ops, It was just annoying with the same callsigns but ah well, nothing I can do. I hope we see some more callsigns in the future then.
I’ll do what Bellc09 said. Thanks for the replies guys.

Hopefully, the BMS team will see this thread and add a few additional callsigns, since they are improving carrier ops and the F18……That would be cool and it’s good you brought this to attention.
