Once in an ACM mode is there a single keypress or combination that will deselect the current ACM mode and take you straight back to CRM RWS ?

At present the only way I can do this is by selection of the appropriate buttons on the MFD periphery.

SECOND QUESTION
Can you personalise by programing default Radar modes and parameters to pop up automatically for each AA weapon selected. e.g. :

I want the radar to come up in 40nm scope 4 Bar scan 60Azimuth every time I select the AIM120, and I want it to come up in say 2Bar scan , 20nm scope and 30 azimuth when I select an AIM9.

Press "m" for MRM Override will take you back to CRM/RWS.

IvanK i like to look at it like this, there is your default AA mode with CRM RWS that your plane defaults to when you enter it.

Then there is MRM (medium range missle mode) that you get by pressing the m key and this will automatically configure your MFDs and radar and such for a medium range encounter.

Then there is dogfight mode that you get by pressing d key and will configure your mfds and radar into ACM mode and select appropriate weapons for a close encounter.

Then there is cancel missle mode which you use to cancel either MRM or dogifight mode and will take you back to the default mode that your plane was in before going to a missle mode. to cancel either missle modes press c

On a real f-16 the switch for dogfight mode and MRM mode are the main switch under the thumb on the throttle so that should give you an idea of how important they are.

It sounds to me like what you are doing is reconfiguring your default MFD set up to a an ACM mode and then having to click a lot of stuff to get back to CRM RWS when it would be faster for you to hit d which takes you to dogfight mode and then cycle though the differant ACM modes in dogfight mode then when you want to go back to long range scanning you will simply have to hit c to get back to where you want.

There is no right way or wrong way to do any of this stuff. But for my personal prefferance, which is speed, i use the method i described above.

Hope this makes sence.

Thanks Thermos I am familar with the Master mode and Dogfight mode concept. What I really want to do is personalise the settings for each weapon type an option available in the F18.

I have arrived at a methodolgy of exiting ACM modes easily.

Ivank you mentioned in another post about how through joystick programing you managed to get your dogfight mode to go on with active radar. What keypress do you have programmed after d to get the radar to go active. Iv'e been trying to find it but have had no luck.

Thanks

I think F11 will do this for you.

IvanK, which profile are you using, as a matter of interest?
