Zeus67 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Magic MAV search patterns are enabled and under test. In this FB video are two search patterns: - Vertical Wide Search (default upon selecting MAG with CNM) - Vertical Narrow Search (The one with the brackets). Note: The icon representing the seeker is for development only and will not be present in the release version. This is a work in progress (WiP) https://www.facebook.com/RazbamSims/videos/1056379681407524 "Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots.

=36=Witcher Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Magic unlock button :smilewink:Am I wrong, or this means we will have 3 (at least) states? Caged / Uncaged wide / Uncaged narrow? If they're managed with a single button, would pressing it cycle through all the modes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeus67 Posted March 24, 2020 Author Share Posted March 24, 2020 The MAV search patterns are as follows: With MAGIC missile selected: - Vertical Wide Search (default mode) - Vertical Narrow Search With MAG PCA button selected (MAGIC missile not required to be selected) - Horizontal Wide Search (default) - Vertical Narrow Search. Search modes are changed by clicking on the NAV Update / MAGIC Unlock HOTAS button. Description: - Vertical Wide Search: It is a 20º wide x 40º tall search (The bottom is 10º below the gun cross). Very similar to the radar Vertical Scan. - Vertical Narrow Search: It is a 6º wide x 6º tall box centered around the gun cross. Similar to the radar SVI Scan. A box is displayed indicating the HUD area where the seeker is searching. The box is removed upon missile lock. - Horizontal Widw Scan: With missiles in both wings it is a 70º wide x 15º tall search zone. With a single missiles it is a 40º wide x 15º tall search zone. It is similar to the radar BAH Scan. The MAG PCA button enables MAV search, allowing to use the MAGIC missiles as a IR scanner, without the need to select the missile. MAV search via MAG PCA button initializes to Horizontal Wide Search, unless the Vertical Narrow Search mode is already selected. MAV search can be used in NAV mode or with any AA weapon selected. When selecting MAGIC via the HOTAS CNM button, MAV search is initialized to Vertical Wide Search unless the MAV is already in Vertical Narrow Search.

Zeus67 Posted March 25, 2020 Author Share Posted March 25, 2020 More Magic MAV goodies. Now it is possible to use the Magic missiles with other weapons. The missiles will not fire unless selected but they will lock on a target. Magic and radar lock with the S530D as the selected weapon. Magic and radar lock with the guns as the selected weapon. Magic MAV search is active while the aircraft is in AG attack mode with Mk-82 as the selected weapon. The radar lines are a development feature and are not visible in the release version.

Steph21 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 (edited) Thanks Zeus Now i'm confused about Magic+Radar lock HUD symbology :) In your first 2 examples, you have Radar lock and Magic lock. But you get Circle+Square with 530D selected and Triangle with CAN selected. When having both Radar lock and Magic lock on the same target, is Triangle only displayed with CAN or MAG selected ? and Square+Circle if 530D selected ?

When having both Radar lock and Magic lock on the same target, is Triangle only displayed with CAN or MAG selected ? and Square+Circle if 530D selected ? Well, I was told by the AdA that the S530D forbids the display of the triangle, so we get the circle inside square.

Will we get the 530D lock tone, which was mentioned a while ago here in the forums? And how does this interract with the magic tone, if MAG MAV is selected in 530 mode and both missiles are simultaneously locked, have both missiles the same tone? Have already reed from you about both G and D indications are circled to indicate a succsesfull 530 lock.

Zeus67 Posted March 26, 2020 Author Share Posted March 26, 2020 Just a heads up. Magic lock now takes a few seconds. Before you ask, yes that is how it works in real life.
