Alfa Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Question for Wags. At 3:14 we get a clear view of the Dispenser/EMC panel. Is it intentional that the rotary is: a) labelled ALQ-126 whereas it is labelled EMC in the NATOPS manual?, and b) that it is duplicated (the bottom instance does not exist in the NATOPS manual)? As already mentioned, it seems that this CM panel in the screenshot is now obsolete in connection with the DCS Hornet. But there seems to have been three different types used in the Hornet - the one in the screenshot(which I have only seen in F-18A/B), the one you mentioned depicted in the NATOPS manual(without the bottom selector dial) used in both A/B and C/D and finally the "clean" one that I believe was introduced with Lot 18 in connection with the switch to ALE-47.

GeorgeLKMT Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 It's just a different solution. Wags was in manual mode while pictured below is CCIP. If you fly A-10C you might know that there are different modes as well. ■ L-39C/ZA Czech cockpit mod ■ My DCS skins ■ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvern Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 (edited) In one of Wags's videos, Hornet was carrying 118 flares and 120 chaff. (8:56 mark) Is that just WIP or can Hornet really carry that much CM? Edited January 11, 2018 by Silvern Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boogieman Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 This is insane. I grew up watching Hornets flying out of RAAF Williamtown and playing Flanker 1.5. To think that ED are now making it possible to fly such a high fidelity Hornet sim now is just incredible. Huge props to Matt and ED for making this a reality.

_Spad_ Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 I noticed in one of the recordings that Wags mentioned that the HUD was in a "caged" mode and the total velocity vector wasn't showing true. In what situation do hornet pilots cage the HUD so the velocity vector doesn't show true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revelation Posted January 14, 2018 Author Share Posted January 14, 2018 I noticed in one of the recordings that Wags mentioned that the HUD was in a "caged" mode and the total velocity vector wasn't showing true. In what situation do hornet pilots cage the HUD so the velocity vector doesn't show true? Normal flying. Typically you want in in uncaged when landing and taking off to help identify wind drift. You would also want to uncage it when dropping dumb bombs from altitude to give yourself a better setup prior to release.

Scoggs Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 We are getting GPS as well right? I know the INS is being worked on currently, but unless I am interpreting it wrong, the INS knob should be set to IFA after alignment if GPS in installed. This enables AINS mode.
