Description

ATLEAST MEDIUM PHYSICS QUALITY PLEASE

F/A-18CM

The F/A-18 is a multi-role fighter built at the end of the cold war. By design its a very capable platform for killing anything you see on the battlefield. With some of the most advanced avionics, weapons, engine and fcs design, this jet will put you at the top of the sw food chain.

if you enjoyed this creation, dont forget to like and favorite :3

Startup
- Avionics/Engine switch to turn on the displays, radars, and allow throttling of the engine. (left side of center panel)

- Parking brake off (right side of center panel)

- Up/Down or use the lever on the left lower panel to change the throttle to the engine with the full authority digital engine control (FADEC)

- Landing Gear (right side of center panel)

- OPTIONAL D/L TX on the left side of the center panel is to transmit your location, nickname, and target data over the NNLink system - change your nickname in the microcontroller properties (microcontroller is in the back of the plane.)
- Anyone running NNLink on the same channel as you will show as a friendly on the map. This is very important for situation awareness on the battlefield.

- The 7 segment display is your acquizition source, 1 is TWS, 2 is the keypad, 3 is the laser spot track from the targeting pod. cycle through this with keybind '2'.

- Lock targets on the map either by clicking '4' or using the touch screen (press the target you want to lock)

- Select weapon on the lower monitor.

Things to know!
This jet has my version 2 track while scan (TWS) + tactical display on the center monitor.

By default there is an altitude filter on the TWS. Its set for 100 meters, this will remove ground targets from the map. -- disable it by clicking the ALTF button bottom left on the screen.

Change your NNLink channel bottom right -- the '?' channel is the custom channel you can set in the microcontroller properties.

Multi-Lock
Select the first target and hold 4 to queue it.
Select any additional targets and queue them too (up to 6) -- you can see # of queued targets in the bottom left.
Try not to queue the same target multiple times.
The system will automatically cycle through the queue and all you need to do is fire as many missiles as you want.
Clearing the memory will also clear the queue, track files, and turn off the radars.

Auto-Chaff
Auto-Chaff is defaulted to on, its panel is located underneath the bottom monitor. you can also manually launch chaff by pressing 6.

the TWS is not fully public, feel free to rip it from the jet though, ask before uploading >_<

it is not 'quite' insane anymore, i am remodeling the entirety of the F-35B, along with its full avionics and datalink/HMD integrated track while scan system, sadly not AESA but hopefully the 16 radars will make up for that!
the sorting algorithm by smithy in my newer system will be miles ahead of this, being able to track targets in dense/cluttered environments, ground, sea, and air, and targets all the way up to 1000 m/s that can zero-point-turn :3

The TWS looks insane!
Is it public or custom made just for this specific jet?
