I’ve noticed in the 4.33 Israeli theater I was getting jumped all the time in my Hornet when loaded up for DEAD or strike missions by Egyptian F16 or Mig 21’s, but I’ve found if I do BARCAP missions which aren’t really my cup of tea, that I could really thin out the enemy aircraft during later A/G mission… I was at first taken down many times , even when taking my time and letting package go ahead of me to thin the herd of enemy fighters. There was just too many. Now after I did many BARCAPS and shot down many Migs and falcons , it’s much more enjoyable to just cruise in to the target area and do your job…( with a few fighters still bugging you but much more manageable)

RE: Kneeboards in the Hornet C?
Thanks for looking into it, your knowledge is far beyond mine on this. Sorry I wish I could help. Hopefully they’ll be functional in next update…

RE: Tough Game
This is a great Sim and unfortunately my DCS titles are getting dusty. Now try the carrier campaigns with the Hornet, and surviving a mission and landing on the carrier at night is the ultimate rewarding experience :-))

RE: Kneeboards in the Hornet C?
You are a god among simmers ! Thank you ! Now can you fix the flap " full " and " half " position indication lights under the 3 green gear down and locked lights ? :-))

RE: I know the speedbrake light is broken , but where is the flap pos indicator on F18C?
Yeah the switch works great but there’s no indication of flap position, ie full or half, green lights under gear green lights( as in strike fighters 2 hornet). I’m not even sure if the real Hornet has the flap indication lights you would assume they do.

I know the speedbrake light is broken , but where is the flap pos indicator on F18C?
I always thought it was " half " and " full " under the 3 green down and locked gear lights… just wondering if i’m missing something… thanks

RE: Kneeboards in the Hornet C?
White Fang thanks for all the help I got the legs and kneeboards working in Israeli campaign on F-18C… could you walk us through the process of editing the nodes for the speedbrake light? You say it’s simple but I think it’s a bit more involved for us LE uninitiated:-) thank you

RE: Questions, tips and other misc. about BMS F/A-18's
4.33 did a great job in naval ops. That rekindled a lot of interest in F/A-18s. However, since hornets have a lot of nuances to itself, I just want to start a thread that can incorporate a lot of the undocumented things about hornet, so that new pilots would come to this one place for information. I’ll periodically update the first post with new info. If anyone has any inputs please let me know. Could we make this sticky? Some of the things that I have learned so far:
1. How to make RPM counter work?
Turn off Smart Scaling in the ingame setup.2. How does Landing AOA bracket work?
It works the opposite to what F16 has. Also, the bracket moves relative to FPM instead of a static one like in an F16My RPM counter , TGT gauge and nozzle positions don’t work on night time missions… doesn’t matter if smart scaling enabled or not, but they work in daylight ops… Also I’m not getting SA-11 thru SA-17’s to show on the HARM HAS WPN page in Israeli campaign,… can’t lock them up as they never show up , though they’r on my RWR and fire at me ! DO we need updated HARM missiles?
-
Sorry if already asked .. but SA-17's not showing up on my HAS harm mode page in F-18
I have the HARM in HAS mode, the table selected for SA17, but every time I’m tracked or locked up by grizzly it never shows on my HAS… I’ve even used it in POS / RUK mode and it misses every time. Is this a known issue or real life modeled ? Thx
