Cougar MFD's and F/A 18C

I have two set up and working fine, but not sure what switch would be most useful on the ( SYM ) switches of the cougars. All button's plus bright, contrast, and gains are assigned. What are you using on your sym switches.?

Thanks

I just map what's intuitive and close to the switches of the real A/C. Say for the Hornet, the Upper Left Corner SYM switches to the A/A and A/G Modes and the Lower Left as Master Arm On/Off.

Hi Foxfire,

What I did is to map the OSBs, but left the bright/SYM and side buttons to function that I need access like lights, heading bug and course selection.

Besides that I use a modifier button to make the OSBs to have a second funcion, then I use it for A/A, Master Arm, Ejection Selection Buttons and so on.

Good luck,

Sydy

I use them for views

LOS.

I like your idea of using them for view buttons.:thumbup:

I use the SYM for for rearm/refuel (Lalt + ')

I use the GAIN rocker to mimic the HDG toggle and the SYM rocker to mimic the CRS toggle.

As others stated, AA, AG, Master Arm, NAV or STOL modes for different aircrafts.

Refuel probe.

Hook

TID repeater

Balt/Ralt

Night/day hud

However the most useful usage I have found is assigning the pressure QNH for setting altimeter. Using the mouse to deal with that is utterly annoying.
