While the Viper's HOTAS is easier, the Hornet's HOTAS has some strong and often overlooked merits. Hopefully these tips make the Hornet feel better for you. :)
Something I forgot to talk about is the RECCE Switch. It's a small button on the stick that blanks your HMD when you press it. It has a secondary function of toggling EXP on the SA page when you TUC (target under cursor) a contact. This is useful as the SA TUC is shown at unlimited range on the HMD, so you can TUC a target on the SA, press RECCE to EXP on them, and they'll show from unlimited range on your HMD for as long as that track remains on your SA page. Apparently the cursor is supposed to magnet to contacts on the SA, so EXP shouldn't be necessary to keep the cursor on there someday if they fix that.
Thanks for watching.

These tips and tricks bro (and I don't mean this lightly) are almost world class! I've watched countless videos on the hornet (to get as good as possible) and your video has blown every single one out of the water! By far! Why do you know these tips and all the so-called big dcs RU-vid channels don't? Brilliant bro and cheers! I've subscribed to you just for the quality of this video 👍🍺

The FLIR coming up in AA mode has annoyed me forever. Thanks for the tip to quickly get back to AZ/EL!! Learned a bunch more stuff as well.

Even C.W. Lemoine (real ex F-16 and F/A-18C pilot) says that he prefers the F-16 because the HOTAS set up seemed better and that there's more you can do. I learned DCS A-10C HOTAS first, and learned it well and think it's amazing. The F-16C, at least for air to ground, feels like a considerable step back in that department and I don't care for it. When it comes to air to air, the F/A-18 and F-16 seem similarly capable and the HOTAS functions are nowhere near as complex. For AA, it's more about the range, sensitivity, and fancy automation that radar + computer can do when it comes to targetting that might make one jet better than the next. I'm pretty sure those who knock on the F/A-18's capability simply don't know it.

Few hundred hours in the Hornet and still learned a few things, well done! I wish there was a quick way to get the EW page up in Air to Air. I don't like RWR stuff cluttering the HUD and the backup RWR display is pretty poor.

@@Jasonmoofang From what I've heard they clutter a bit too much in DCS. I think I saw a bug report where they were supposed to be a bit further out from the center. That would be nice.

This is fantastic information. For some reason my TDC up/down axis wont' change the range/scale on any of the pages, but everything else is a huge help for me.
@CaptPickguard

For changing the scale, what is important is that the cursor leaves the radar box and re-enters the box. You don't need to hit the top of the screen (and doing that actually makes it harder to do it fast enough). Slow is smooth and smooth is fast :p

Awesome! Back after 2,5 years of not playing this refreshed my mind, and agree, love the hornet and guess im somewhat damaged by the release of the 16, it was trash and havent touched it since😂

Great tips, didnt know how much you could do with the cursor. I still like having radar range and rws/tws bound to my hotas, makes it very snappy (also allows going back from tws auto to man by switching to rws and back to tws), but being able to change bars and azimuth is something im definitely gonna try out.

As someone who has flown the 18 in DCS for so long I learned something new! Thanks! And As a HOTAS fan you should check out the A10II HOTAS switch-ology :D

You have incredible cursor control. Would you mind saying which throttle you are using and can you mention how you have your x/y cursor settings configured in DCS (curves, saturation, etc)? This was so informative.
@CaptPickguard

No curves, no adjustments, just a steady hand and the Xbox joystick like slew on the Virpil CM3 throttle

While on the SA page if you have a TUC and you press the Recce event mark, you will centre and zoom on that target. Same button, on A2A and radar selected, turns off the HMD and on again.

@@massimilianocecchini7151 Yep. Put that one in the description as I remembered it as I was uploading lol. Somewhat useful for keeping the cursor over a track while magneting isn't modelled.
