I have a question and it’s got nothing to do with the hornet per se but these videos show ppl click and drag rotaries rather than scrolling as I do. How to get mouse wheel to do that ?
you click it (LMB) then drag. you too can do that CiB! YES!

If you guys are not going to do the same ruckus once the Intruder is in Early Access I’m going to take it unnecessarily personally…

I’m very strongly considering disappearing off the internet during the F-14’s release cycle. Look at how I’m acting over the F/A-18, which is very clearly my side piece. I don’t want to imagine what I turn into when I see all the personalities playing with my main devotion and I can’t participate.

It’s gonna be fine. Why don’t you become one of them? Make a few youtube vids commenting with some of that inside navy talk (and or some navy salt) on some F/A-18 flying and next time they send you that key to get that sweet inside scoop

So @boomerang10 - just curious…is there a required left and right DDI page setup when you are coming aboard the carrier or is it totally up to the preference of the pilot? I’ve been watching some Hornet videos (the You Tube spiral of death) and some show guys coming aboard with the checklist page and FCS while others might have the HUD up. Or does it just depend on the weather and other factors?

There’s fairly standard techniques but ultimately they are just that - techniques. The norm is HUD on the left and FCS on the right during landing and takeoff but it’s not mandatory.
Personally if I’m coming back to the boat and I know I need to dump, I prefer to keep the checklist page up on either the left or the UFCD until after I’ve dumped down below landing weight.
Edit - Those two pages are also conveniently the “safest” displays to have up for recording cockpit footage. There’s no tactical information up on those in the NAV mastermode, other than RWR indications on the HUD if you leave those on - I like to remove those from the HUD to remove distractions for landing anyway.
