It’s very Harrier-esque. Big Ticket Items will be:
Stick
TDC Priority (Castle) Hat - Selects which DDI is currently priority for HOTAS commands, works similar to the A-10C. The DMS works pretty well for this.
A/A Weapons select hat - Selects A/A weapons, brings up appropriate close in radar mode regardless of current master mode. The warthog CMS hat is located appropriately.
Undesignate/NWS switch - Unlocks your current designation, switches between NWS gains. Is the pinky switch.
Autopilot/NWS disengage switch - The Paddle Switch
Throttle
TDC Cursor - The Axis hat
Designate button - Your target lock switch. On the real deal this is actuated by pushing down on the TDC hat.
FOV/RAID Button - Used for radar modes and TGP stuff.
Auto Throttle Button - Engages your auto throttle (assuming it’s armed). In the real jet there are two left throttle buttons. You’ll have to decide between this and the FOV button which you think is more important.
Countermeasures Hat - In the real deal, this is where the warthog communications hat is.
Air brake switch - Pretty much the same as on the Warthog.
Comms Switch - Hornet has two radios, so you only need a two way switch. Not sure if the china hat or boat switch works best for this.
Uncage (!!!) button - Very important for A/A stuff, no real great place to put it on the Warthog. I use one of the china hat functions.
On speed should be somewhere around 135 and below for trap weight. Current weight should be displayed in your checklist DDI page.
Paddle switch is NWS ON/OFF. Pinky switch is HI/LO gain (which might be dependent on your wings being unlocked or folded).
