Yes, thanks a lot, Chuck.

I so miss one of your guides for the F-14, but totally understand your reasons for not doing one.

Your guides are always the first thing I go to when I get a new module!

thank you very much for your work.

 

Is this guide up-to-date with all the updates and improvements in the simulator since it was

written?

 

See post #177.

Chucks guide is truly a God send

 

Hey Chuck, I just want to personally thank you for your great effort in producing this FA/18C guide. I use it nearly every day as I'm finding my way through this incredible AC and your manual makes things a whole lot easier for me. Bless you man, thanks again.

Cheers G :o)

Signing this as well. It was your guides that made me "get over the top" to really appreciate study sims. I've never quite gotten to the point where I know enough to want to want to know the rest if you know what I mean ;)

Thanks again for this great manual: it paves the way to the hornet for me!

It's out-of-date for radar functionalities and IFF... and it's missing the new radar modes, Mavericks, AMRAAMS, AIM-9X, JHCMS, HARMs, Datalink...

 

I plan for an update once the Targeting Pod is implemented and existing features are mature enough. Keep in mind that it'll be a LOT of work.

Thanks Chuck...I printed it out so I could study anywhere. My plan is when you release updates when the new ground attack systems come online I'll just reprint those chapters :smilewink:
