When the NAV radio is tuned to a carrier TACAN channel (47X or 57X), you cannot change the selected course - it is set to the BRC automatically. When it is tuned to a normal VOR station, you can adjust the desired course (OBS) from the HUD Switch Panel (open with Shift+2, the circle dial where it says 'NAV1') or from the Hornet cockpit (at the bottom of the fuel quantity indicator, it says 'CRS').

Sun...
To add on to this discussion. My personal technique for either entering the pattern or on the Cat ready to power up for launch for touch and go's. When TACAN (47x/57x) is dialed in, and I see NAV1 is auto-set to BRC, I set GPS for the downwind (-180 deg from BRC), and I set NAV2 to Final Bearing (10 deg left of BRC), so I have those numbers visually set in my brain for the pattern.
And yeah, the new HUD is tight, has alot of features, and works very well. Wait til I wide-release the Sludge Hornet v1.1 w/FSXNP's BlackBox UFC w/Betty alerts and the entire sound pack included. As well as svicar's new "grunge Sludge" VMFA-323 paint.
Have a good weekend
Later

Oh guys, the video is gonna be a tough one.
Just realized that we can't even use the PLAT cam on a moving carrier. The position of the cam is fix and the carrier is moving away. At the moment I don't see no way to attach any user defined camera to the moving carrier.
So long
