Hope you brought the F18 on the sale which is now on and not full price.
If you get Chucks F18 guide it’s a good place to setup the keys, I would just
use the mouse for a lot of buttons like for engine and systems management
especially in VR.
There are a lot of good videos on YouTube to learn all the systems for the F18.
SEAD strikes are good fun, the SA page with datalink on the AMPCD is huge in
the F18, we found it gives you the ground based air defence SA also;). Wish I
knew that earlier lol.
Super carrier mod is great for carrier ops btw ;).

It's good to hear from you Klem.
I've gone and bought the F-18 because I'm so missing carrier ops. But I've
not even set up the keys yet, I need to sort out the Idle and Afterburner
detents on my Warthog throttle.
I think some late Cold War might suit me, but they need lots of planning,
particularly SEAD.
I think the key thing is how realistic are the SAMs and their radars. Do they
have that Soviet thing of being semi-active and command controlled by the
Fire Control Radar, do they lock-on-jam, does the game model these things?
Just chaff and flares doesn't really represent reality (hint to Colin, SA-6
(Kub) should be defeatable by chaff and manoeuvre even without good ECM).
