PiedDroit Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Hello all, I have a question regarding the PPA, in the real manual it clearly states that AUTO/G/D selector only applies to S 530. Does anyone know how the system is supposed to behave when left S 530 has been shot? I understand that making AUTO/G/D also affecting Magic IIs in DCS will allow the user to decide, thus avoiding the situation where only left missiles are fired, but I'm curious to know how it was working on the real aircraft as there is no apparent way of selecting which Magic to shoot. Also, will we have "AUTO" S 530 implemented (button (3) in the figure)? It looks like a CCRP mode for S 530 (pilot presses fire button but missile is shot only when optimal condition are satisfied). Thanks, P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myHelljumper Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Wow, the CCRP mode looks really interesting, I would love to see it implemented.

PiedDroit Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 (edited) Wow, the CCRP mode looks really interesting, I would love to see it implemented. Complete description is (translated): "MAN: missile release at BRM press" "AUTO: pilot authorizes shooting (by pressing BRM) but the missile is released only at the optimum point computed by the system" The big issue here is what is this "optimum point". I'd love to see something like that implemented, unfortunately I don't know what to put in there. Edited May 15, 2016 by PiedDroit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azrayen Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 @ PiedDroit: Given the texture of the PPA (with a white line separating the zone with G/AUTO/D + P/MISS + AUTO/MAN and the zone with P/MAG) I guess you're probably right i.e. the G/AUTO/D applies only to S-530D IRL. But there probably is another way for the pilot to select which Magic he wants to shoot. Since there seems to be no available data on how this is done, my opinion is that making the G/AUTO/D switch manage both the S-530Ds and the Magics - as Razbam indend to do if I correctly understood - is probably the best option. :) Regarding the AUTO/MAN switch, my understanding is that it was wired for the RDM only. No feature on the RDI for this. ++ Az' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regarding MAN/AUTO, fair enough, it's not on my top priority list regarding weapon management anyway (I'm fine with the answer "no, it won't be implemented"). I'd like to see the Magic/Gun/PCA HOTAS selector properly implemented (PCA setting really shouldn't be modified when using it): "gun mode" and "cannon"?

IvanK Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 in the Mirage III the Bog Standard R530 had an Auto fire capability as well. With Auto Fire selected on the R530 would fire at a point known as Topt. this was about 2/3 of the Rmax of the missile. In current terminology you could consider it as Rmax2/Rttr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gliptal Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Are there any events that trigger the Magic preparation procedure, other than manually clicking the relative button?
