The Hornet participates in the following Link 16 net groups: The MIDS terminal can be activated via the ON/OFF button on the UFC from the Datalink (D/L) menu. AGR mode is indicated by an AGR legend on the HUD. Alternatively, in A/G master mode the MAV acronym at the top of the Stores format will invoke it once it is already selected (boxed). The [TAC] menu provides weapon- and sensor-related displays, such as the Stores Management Set (SMS), Radar, and FLIR formats. The network allows for other friendly aircraft to participate to MSI trackfiles and so adding to the overall tactical picture. In TWS, MAN scan centering can be selected via the AUTO/MAN toggle at PB13. It has two modes: The F/A-18C Hornet is equipped with an expansive avionic software suite. For example, with a 60 (30) azimuth, the scan center will not be set any closer than 30 from the left or right edge of the tactical region. Note however that only the cursor can be used as the Undesignate button is used to exit SCAN RAID rather than step the L&S designation. The SA also provides most navigation functions and indications found on the top-level HSI format, excluding the lubberline, TACAN steering, ICLS steering, and north up display mode. More frequent pulses result in greater detection range, but less frequent pulses result in better overall detection of targets with low closure rate. Waypoints are indicated by a circle with a dot in the middle. Any onboard Radar trackfile can be designated as a target by the pilot to provide attack cuing and define the target for A/A weapons. The primary method of AMRAAM employment is the Datalink-guided Command Inertial Active (CIA) mode. It is accessed by selecting the Walleye on the STORES format again after already selecting it. The A/G Radar modes are not available in A/A. The old L&S does not become the DT2. When an A/G TGT exists, selecting any Expand mode immediately enters that mode centered on the TGT designation. AIM-9 targeting is integrated with the helmet mounted display (HMD) to cue the seekerhead outside the HUD field of view. The folder structure we want to make, with all empty folders, is: In the device folder we then paste our modified CMDS_ALE47.lua folder, so that we can get OVGME to overwrite it. Vertically, the elevation scale is configurable to a maximum of 140 (70 above and below). A pointed interrogation will be automatically done every 10 seconds centered on the L&S trackfile when the L+S INT option is boxed on the Az/El format. Just an FYI the Thrustmaster TWCS throttle is a very close representation of the hornet throttle (minus the whole two throttle part). This is not a full on reprimand-you-for-having-your-navigation-lights-on-when-you-shouldn't-have type outfit here. Engineer 2: AGM-88C HARM and then ATFLIR. An F to the right indicates the FLIR line of sight is correlated to that AOT. A new frequency can be entered via the keypad. TWS is also initialized to AUTO when entered from STT. Selecting the Gun while in STT, however, keeps the Radar in STT and does not command Gun Acquisition as it otherwise would. Once fired, the missile enters search and will engage the first target detected, typically within the forward hemisphere as the seeker is fixed to boresight when on the rail. As such, a smaller scan frame will yield higher quality guidance. Target of Opportunity (TOO) uses the HARM seeker itself to view and engage emitters. A "B" is displayed in the case of a failure and a "T" is displayed in the case of a thermal overheat of the RWR or countermeasures computer. The Radar itself is controlled by a knob on the right console. If a DT2 is also designated (which can only be done using the cursor), the Undesignate button instead swaps the L&S and DT2 designations. When AUTO is selected and no A/G designation exists, the AUTO Designation Reticle is displayed on the HUD when the TDC is assigned to it. When the AIM-7 is fired, the missile will guide onto the PDI shined onto the target assuming it is within the seeker maximum range. In A/A master mode, this option is removed. Got it. Radar hits determined to have an invalid range are declared angle only trackfiles (AOTs). Regular manual centering is also available as in RWS and VS. Manual scan centering (MAN) is initially selected when entering TWS from RWS or VS. When these conditions are met, the selected A/A weapon can be released. Three timers are are related to the AIM-7: When a target is locked, a time of flight (TOF)/time to go (TTG) is shown on the HUD in seconds. To get back into an L&S and no DT2 scenario quickly, the DT2 can be designated with the cursor which will make it the L&S and remove the DT2 designation entirely. Upon entering A/A master mode the Stores and Radar/Attack formats are automatically displayed on the left and right DDIs. Continuously computed impact point (CCIP) mode calculates where the rockets will impact on the ground. In the down position, the gear will extend. This is the only Radar control not done through the avionic system. The A/G Radar is accessed via the Radar/Attack (RDR ATTK) in the NAV and A/G master modes with the SURF (Surface) option. A courseline is drawn: If an OFF AXIS or HPTP ANG condition exists, the relevant courseline is dashed. Each master mode is tailored to that purpose with some functionality overlap. Once a weapon has been programmed, engagement and release can be accomplished using the HOTAS. The azimuth width, EXP, range scale arrows, scan centering mode, and HITS options are removed from the Attack format. In A/A master mode, an A/A weapon is always selected and appropriate cuing is displayed on the HUD and Radar/Attack format. Refer to TWS Scan Centering Modes. As long as the trigger is depressed, the Bullet at Target Range (BATR) cue is displayed. This legend is generally transient since AACQ is only active for a split moment when acquiring a track. Not shown is the A/G Target indication. Note that at close range it is possible for the missile to transition immediately to the Active phase upon launch. Manual scan centering functions the same as regular scan centering in RWS and VS. With the cursor over empty space, depressing and releasing the TDC with the cursor over empty space will set the scan center at the cursor's azimuth at that time. The A/C tab on the DATA sublevel displays information regarding the aircraft itself and the inertial navigation system. If members, donors, and/or the closest friendly exist, 4 slots will be reserved regardless of the priority settings. Actually performing interrogations is detailed under MSI trackfiles (see IFF interrogation). AUTO mode does not account for a change in pitch prior to launch (i.e. It is commanded by pressing the Sensor Control switch toward the Attack format with the TDC already assigned to it. The Walleye Display (WEDL DSPLY) allows for standalone employment of the Walleye bomb. The time taken for a hit to age out is defined by the pilot via the option on the DATA sublevel (PB10). Waypoint position: north/east coordinates, Military Grid Reference System (MGRS) coordinates (not yet implemented), and the elevation in meters or feet (depending which it was entered as). These raw hits have a fixed age-out setting of 2 seconds, ignoring the pilot-selected setting on the DATA sublevel. Roll input is dampened and pitch input is severely dampened. The current bar being scanned is indicated at PB6 on the Attack format. The following trackfiles are displayed. It is selected by deselecting either the A/G or A/A master mode. Nothing is indicated when NWS is disengaged. MSI trackfiles throughout the avionics are displayed as HAFU (Hostile, Ambiguous, Friendly, or Unknown) symbols. The primary Radar function done from the Az/El is positioning the scan center. Neither use an electronic fuze. CRIT LETH: shows only critical and lethal bearings, The predicted bullet miss distance is less than 20ft, The steering dot is within the Allowable Steering Error (ASE) circle, (AIM-120) Launched in Command Inertial Active mode, (AIM-9) Seeker LOS coincident is with L&S, the Radar was not previously in STT and the L&S was unsuccessfully acquired into STT, the FLOOD option on the Attack format is activated (must be in STT with an AIM-7 in flight). The target in STT is also maintained as a trackfile. When the HMD is on, the HMD format can be accessed on the [SUPT] menu. The Walleye Display format provides a feed from the missile seeker (when it is on the aircraft) for targeting. The nose gear features nosewheel steering (NWS) controlled by the rudder pedals. Note that when STT is entered through an ACM mode, the ACM condition remains active. The X variant has 90 high off boresight (HOBS) launch capability. TACAN channels have two bands, X and Y, and range from 1-126. EXP2 from EXP1) will display a "corral cursor", indicating the area the EXP mode will cover once entered. CSS will attempt to maintain the pitch and roll of the aircraft without manual stick input. For the IN LAR/SHOOT cue and steering dot to display, the seeker LOS must be detected to be coincident with the LOS to the L&S within 1.5 if the LOS to the L&S is 20 or less. By default, it is centered on the aircraft boresight, but may be depressed below in single milliradians (mils). If an A/A Radar Launch & Steering (L&S) trackfile is designated, the TLL to the L&S overrides the TLL to the A/G designation. If a 5 mile range scale is set on the Attack format in RWS or VS, the spacing is set to 4.2. However, the above applies in TWS when manual centering is selected. Although trackfiles are displayed on the Attack, Azimuth/Elevation, and Situation Awareness formats, only the Attack format displays raw hits. Will the Hornet targeting pod slave to radar locks in Air to Air mode? The following are universal requirements for A/G Ready status to be true. The HMD is unaffected. It is generally used with a dive bombing technique, though straight-and-level release is also possible particularly with retarded bombs. The scan center is defined as an absolute bearing off the ownship and not a stabilized heading. Scan volume limits are in accordance with the table to the right. A line under denotes a sea-based emitter. IN ZONE/IN RNG/TTMR/out of zone cue. When range is less than 2.0nm with any A/A missile selected, an outward-pointing tick mark indicates the maximum range of the Gun to cue the pilot as to whether the Gun could be employed without having to select it. FLIR. (Not yet implemented) In AUTO, when the TDC is depressed/released with the cursor over empty space, the scan center is biased to the cursor's bearing at that time. AOTs are Radar-only trackfiles as they inherently cannot be correlated to Datalink trackfiles without range from ownship. EXP is exited by unboxing the EXP option or by pressing the RSET option (PB24). Up to 10 Radar trackfiles and 64 raw hits can be processed. Regardless of the release type, the following cues on the right side of the HUD are always displayed (when in A/G master mode): When a Pre-Planned mission is programmed with a target, the same indications are displayed as when an A/G TGT is (range, diamond superimposed on the physical target, bearing arrow, and diamond on heading tape). In either case, the pilot can switch between AUTO and MAN centering modes at PB13. The B-sweep will be pinned to the L&S azimuth. Alternatively, while in A/G, it can be invoked by pressing the MAVF option on the STORES format after it is already boxed. Additionally, the pod allows for the bomb to be released without a valid lock on a TV-contrasting target. A/G master mode is selected with the A/G button on the Master Arm Panel and is indicated by the "A/G" light. An exception applies to the HSI format, which can be displayed on the AMPCD and either the left or right DDI simultaneously, but not on both DDIs. A unique scenario occurs on the Attack format in that it also displays raw Radar hits and it may in, certain modes, even hide HAFUs associated with such hits even if a trackfile does exist for it. With the wing fold handle in the FOLD or HOLD positions, pressing the NWS button will toggle NWS HI. While the Hornet does not have VOR-capable navigation radios, it can determine bearing to a VOR (or TACAN) via its automatic direction finder (ADF). STT is the most optimal, followed by TWS with its artificial scan volume limitations. The tactical region takes the actual, conical shape of the Radar scan without augmentation. These unassociated raw hits cannot be removed since no HAFU exists to otherwise represent these targets. Note that the Undesignate button does not deselect EXP; rather, it remains available for cycling the L&S designation or swapping the L&S and DT2. The FORESIGHT is designed to provide assistance in aiming the gun at long range up to ~1.5nm. As such, AOTs are not transmitted as Datalink contributors. Not depicted in this section is missile attack symbology for the L&S (and other trackfiles) which includes launch regions and steering guidance. The pipper is placed 7.5 below the horizon or at the elevation of the velocity vector, whichever is steeper. It automatically engages upon there being weight on wheels. The rockets can also be set by the ground crew (via the DCS Mission Editor) to single or ripple. The profile tells OVGME which game we wish to mod, where to find this game and where the folder is that we are going to store our mods in. The TDC is automatically assigned to the Attack format. As described above, the scan azimuth width and elevation bar can be changed by the pilot on the Attack format in RWS, TWS, or VS. FXP: creates a Fixpoint (FXP) which is located halfway in distance between the search point and destruct point, based on the bearing value at that time. Also note that turning on the DL turns on your TACAN, and while the DL is on your TACAN can not be turned off. The MSI picture as well as the manipulation of the Radar as a sensor is provided on the primary three A/A formats: The Radar itself is controlled by a knob on the right console. The knobs also control the volume of their respective radios. This is not intended for actual use as a countermeasure dispense option, but to reduce the risk of fire when the aircraft is damaged. For example, the L&S can be quickly acquired into STT by the Radar by bumping the Sensor Control switch toward the Attack format when no target is under the cursor (refer to Automatic Acquisition). if no HPTP or FXP exists, between the aircraft and the selected bearing, if a FXP exists, between the aircraft and through the FXP. Regardless, the missile entirely ignores the L&S in a Boresight launch. The rate of change of the L&S indicator and position of the Rne caret changes accordingly. A trackfile designated as the L&S/DT2 will always display the box/diamond or X symbol. There are three Expand (EXP) levels available in MAP mode to provide a refined scan of a particular area. In other words, BIAS centering allows the scan center to be manually defined while also forcing the Radar to maintain the L&S and DT2. When the center of the seeker is brought onto a television-contrasting target and TDC depress is released, the seeker will stabilize onto that contrasting target and guide to that target if release. Three time of flight (TOF) values are associated with the AIM-120. When no tracking A/G designstion exists, the gun will use the Air-to-Ground Ranging (AGR) mode of the Radar for CCIP calculation, which is commanded via Sensor Control switch forward and indicated by an AGR HUD legend. A/G weapons cannot be selected/programmed in A/A. When an L&S has not been designated, a LAR can be displayed for any trackfile on the Attack format by cursoring over it. The switch will move to the RETRACT position automatically when there is weight off wheels. Since the scan volume is defined by angles, the physical space covered is a cone shape and increases as range from ownship increases. The file we wish to edit is the CMDS_ALE47.lua file; but before you start editing it please make a backup of it first. Continuously Computed Impact Point (CCIP) mode uses either the Radar or the current A/G Target designation to provide a live calculation of where the gun rounds will impact on the ground. Hes that committed to getting the hornet right. When the the target is within 3,000ft range, the Gun Director occludes the L&S TD box for unobstructed view of the physical target. If an OFF AXIS condition exists, the appropriate courseline is dashed. Manual (MAN) mode provides a constant reticle for aiming. If the commanded scan center would not permit the entire scan azimuth width to be utilized due to Radar gimbal limits, the actual center is adjusted to utilize the entire width selected. I mapped the dispenser switch to the china hat, and I havent figured out a good use for the boat switch. The TTG cue is not shown until the missile is actually in flight. The current elevation of the antenna is indicated on the Attack format by the elevation caret. The Early Warning (EW) Format is the primary interface with the RWR. This file can be found in the path. ANG/HT: For JDAMs and the JSOW C-variant, the angle in degrees at which the bomb will impact. Post-launch Datalink continues until the missile enters the "Active phase" at an optimal point automatically. Near it is a red "L BAR" indication, which displays whenever the launch bar is down with weight off wheels. The IFF "button" to interrogate a radar contact is not bound by default. The G-limiter can be overridden as long as the paddle switch on the stick is held down, which will change the limit to 133% of the previous G-limit. INV TGT: R/BL TGT distance from aircraft is considered invalid (>172nm). Harpoon Turnpoint (HPTP), if one exists; the dot in the center is removed if the currently selected waypoint is not the HPTP waypoint. The Radar/Attack format (RDR ATTK) is the primary interface for the A/A Radar. All trackfiles within the EXP region are displayed accurately at their positions. However, we can save it from being deleted, by making it into a mod (modification)! Therefore, it is not recommended to use Boresight Visual when friendly aircraft are within or near the field of view of the seeker. This optimizes it for target engagement. Which sensor is controlled at any given time is determined by what sensor has TDC Priority at any given time. Since a 1 bar setting in TWS is not permitted, if TWS is selected with 1 bar it will be changed to 2 bars. When a sensor is in full track on the designation, a cue is provided on the HUD (e.g. AGR is commanded by pressing the Sensor Control Switch forward with or without the TDC already assigned to the HUD. As such, RWS is primarily intended for target surveillance until engagement, at which point the pilot normally transitions to TWS and/or STT. The A/G gun provides computer-assisted aiming for precise employment, and can also be selected simultaneously with most other A/G munitions but with limited aiming symbology. Alternatively, bumping the Sensor Control switch left (in A/A) when the LDDI cannot accept TDC assignment will invoke the Az/El on the LDDI. One unique option is displayed on the STORES format for Range and Bearing Launch mode: "SEEK". You saved me a bunch of time. Welcome to /r/hoggit, a noob-friendly community for fans of high-fidelity combat flight simulation. the wingman's head is directly in-line with the end of the nozzles. In other words, if the BATR cue is over the physical target, the bullets will likely hit. The bracket's position relative to the velocity vector indicates angle of attack. In TWS, automatic scan centering is available which has a different mechanization. The Horizontal Situation Indicator (HSI) format is the primary interface with the airplane's navigation systems. Upon first selection of it on the STORES format, cooling will be initiated. A letter J to the left indicates that jamming is detected. In NAV master mode, the HUD is tailored to navigation. "X" shape indicating the point at which the Harpoon will self-destruct. Forward or aft stick deflection beyond a certain point will disengage CSS. The F/A-18 participates in the Link 16 Datalink system for broadcasting and receiving information to and from other participants on the network. Up to 15 emitters can be displayed. You could delete all the files, but that would be a whole lot more work. This information is accessed by the FPAS format on the SUPT menu. The result of an interrogation will be indicated by the MSI track's classification and HAFU symbol changing to friendly, ambiguous, or hostile. Correct, TDC press over the brick. The SA format additionally allows for Multi-Source Integration (MSI) sources to be selectively filtered for all MSI displays (RDR ATTK, AZ/EL) and provides the ability to manually classify trackfiles as friendly, unknown, or hostile. The true velocity vector appears the same as the vertical velocity vector does in caged operation. The F/A-18 has the ability to automate certain types of flight via its Automatic Flight Control System (AFCS) and Automatic Throttle Control (ATC). In addition to the main shape, other symbology is associated with HAFUs to display information about the trackfile. How different are they from the A-10C? The Hornet is capable of firing the short-range AGM-65 Maverick air-to-ground missile. The Undesignate button can be used to designate trackfiles whenever the TDC is assigned to the Attack or Az/El format. From the L&S, it represents 10 in azimuth and 5 miles in range. The COMM1 or COMM2 menu is accessed by pulling on the respective radio knob. If a HPTP ANG condition exists, the courseline to the HPTP is dashed and an "L" shape on the HPTP indicates the minimum acceptable angle. If it does not find a target before reaching the self-destruct point, it self-destructs. The speedbrake is a flap located on the top of the aircraft designed to provide drag to decelerate faster. Three way pinky switch on the throttle for lighting. Areas without sufficient Doppler shift will be drawn blank. If A/A master mode is instead entered by using the A/A button on the Master Arm Panel, the AIM-9 is selected. Inherently, the AMRAAM is a partially "fire and forget" missile in that once it acquires the target with its own Radar (termed the "Active" phase), maintaining the target Radar trackfile is no longer necessary; i.e. The SA format is primarily an informational display and so actual manipulation of Radar functions like scan centering or acquisition into STT is unavailable and must be done from the Attack or Azimuth/Elevation formats. However, only MED is available when the Attack format range scale is set to 5nm in RWS/VS and only HI is available whenever in VS. A pulse Doppler illumination (PDI) mode is also available for guiding the AIM-7 Sparrow missile when it is selected.
