F-18 PSF Wingman commands??

[Kpi$LyLcEhRo]

Hi all,

Does anyone know what the wingman keyboard commands for F-18 Precision
Strike Fighter (Xicat product) are?

I know there is a thread in this forum from 2003 about this topic but
the links (http://www.xicat.com/games/FA18.htm and
http://pub65.ezboard.com/fxicatinteractivefrm7) don't work.

I managed to find some keyboard commands by trial and error but I'd
like to know if it's possible to tell your wingman to attack a specific
target. For instance, if you designated a SAM with your HARM sensor or
an enemy plane with your radar, can you command your wingman to attack
that one so that you can concentrate on another target??

Here's what I found out till now for those who are interested:

F1: wingman (hornet 2) will go to your 4 o'clock position. Another
press makes formation closer.
F2: ??
F3: ??
F4: returns to base?
F5: goes to your 9 o'clock
F6: goes to your 3 o'clock
F7: will fly above you at your right
F8: will fly below you at your left
F9: same as F1?
F10: goes to your six?
F11: same as F1 and F9?
F12: Flies in front of you

Thanks in advance for you help!

For PSF stuff I'd go to the SimHQ F/A-18 Operation Iraqi Freedom board...

Thanks a million tomcervo and Mark, I really appreciate your help;-)
That solves most of my questions. Any idea why my wingman doesn't want
to attack a SAM site after I designated it with my HARM and pressed F2?
Maybe because F2 only counts for enemy air targets? Or maybe because my
wingman was out of HARM, lol?

[tomcervo]

The old Mac Hornet used to be famous for wingmen who went RTB the
second the fur started flying:
"Are you familiar with the wingman in Hornet that circles his base,
ignoring the enemy while you get shot down? And when he does get
involved, he only pokes one Sidewinder at the Flankers? The wingman who
says "Good shot" to you when you shoot down an enemy fighter 40
nautical miles away from him? WELL, HE JUST GOT SHIPPED OUT!"

"Introducing your NEW wingman, who ingresses with you straight into the
heart of Iraq, laughs in the jaws of death, spits in the face of
danger, takes four AMRAAM's and two Sidewinders with him on every
mission, fires Mavericks at air defenses, flies low, flies high, flies
fast, flies slow, uses afterburner, makes multiple bombing passes on
targets, uses Durandals, stays on your wing, and calls "Fox Four!" when
you need it."

Thanks, interesting site but I'm a bit confused now. This STRIKE
software is not for the precision strike fighter from xicat, correct?
STRIKE says they are addons for the Hornet sim from graphsim.com(=Iraqi
freedom?). Graphsim's Iraqi freedom looks VERY similar to PSF(judging
by screenshots) so I'm wondering: did graphsim.com take over the xicat
company (that would explain why xicat website is gone)?

[tomcervo]

Graphsim's Hornet was and is THE flight sim for a Mac, and most of
these files are for Mac's. Hornet Korea was the first cross platform,
and the manuals are the same. If you like PSF and only have a pdf
manual, look for the Hornet Korea Mac with manual--it's pretty cheap
and the same thing.

Actually, Hornet 3.0 preceeded Hornet Korea as the first cross-platform;
Hornet Korea was the first one that went Glide...
