Slew AGM-65F


Recommended Posts

Slewing the maverick TV (by button, axis) too imprecise?

 

Trying the new TV Mavericks, great fun, now we’re talking.

 

But, slewing the maverick TV (by button, axis) seems too imprecise?

 

The slewing by a designated button hold/repeat is too fast, perhaps needs an accelerator, and be slow at the start for small movements.

 

Binding to a joystick HAT axis (Logitek G940) produces rather haphazard movements.

 

Or am I missing something? Anyone tried these and can lock 65 missiles somewhat with ease (as in quickly and with some precision)?

TDC slewing of the Maverick seeker will be addressed in the next patch... look for it to improve on the 19th of December.

 

You might want to check the Mini Updates sticky thread.

great news, thx

Maverick controls are awful?

 

Hi everyone,

 

 

I've noticed now that I can't slew the Maverick seeker unless I'm holding down the TDC cursor switch on the throttle (target lock).

 

 

Also, the Maverick slew control moves in large jumps, making it impossible to designate a specific ground target. The Maverick seeker jumps all over the place, and I just have to settle for whatever target it happens to grab (if any at all).

 

 

Is it supposed to be like this? It's gotten worse in a recent update, now I can't slew Maverick seekers at all unless I hold down target lock.

 

 

It seems that the A-10C has good Maverick slew control, but the F/A-18 is terrible.

 

 

Any insight?

I believe ED already said they are aware and looking into it.

The slew rate for AGMs will prob change in a future patch.

 

I really hope so. It's very impractical at the moment. Did my first tries today, absolutely no problem with that depress thing (using a modifier + FFB2 hat and trigger as depress for TDC control). But the slew itself... the rate is insane, talk about PGM again while it literally jumps like 100m back and forth on the controls in no time. Then, trying to get it more precise by just tapping the hat shortly - either it still jumps or absolutely nothing happens at all if the tap was too quick. Actually I ended up trying to stabilize the cross on a target by raw flying and uncaging while holding it as steady as possible, then just using TDC depress to establish a lock, with a higher rate of success than trying to slew the thing.

 

Nevertheless, things like these are expected in early access and I'm glad I can do the testing here, still had fun trying to deploy those. And Wags announced fixes already for the next update, but he also clearly mentions the TMWH axis/depress thing whereas I didn't even uses axis control. I have no doubt that this eventually will work fine, probably after one or two OB updates.

I have a TM warthog throttle with Deltaalphalima1's analogue stick mod (here) , I can not get the Maverick slew to go up/down or left/right, it only works in diagonals.

 

Which is odd because the slew on my MCG pro does seem to at least go in the right direction, but I'm in full agreement that the control is awful at the minute, I can't get it on any target without it being luck.

 

Not bothered that having to hold TDC down is realistic, I'd like to see it removed, or an option to remove it at least, pleeeeeaaaaasssseeeee!!!.

My joystick is not 100% equal to the real f18c joystick so i moved my weapons select switch somewhere els.

 

But i use the weapon select switch from the image / (also known as recce button )to act as the button that need to be pressed, while i slew the maveric "tgp" with a pov on my power joystick.

 

My pov do have a build in keyboard press, but i dont know how to make it work that way and also it just feel more natural to do it the way i do. ;-)

 

The keyboard button you need to hold in are by the way ( enter )

 

( i have the virpil vpc-warbrd wit ha t-50 handle i think its called and the t-50 mongoost power joystick )

i don't understand that why mav slew is so corrupted whereas AA radar can be slewed perfectly

I have a Warthog throttle and have been playing with TDC slew a great deal. I find that the major issue with AGM-65F slew is NOT the hold-down feature, but the invariable and fast slew rate. The TDC slew control functions like a button, not like an axis, which should vary the rate as the mini-stick moves from center. I tried setting the axis curve to 50 and observed no difference. By all accounts DCS is working hard on a fix.

 

 

Just to add that AA radar slew axes function properly, just as one would expect.

Indeed, hence I'm going to hold off mucking around. I'll just await the patch to see what it brings. :joystick:

Did you see Wag's latest post on this. They are going to provide an option that you can slew without the depress. Not accurate to our gen Hornet but only way they can solve it. Apparently quite a bit of code so might not be in this weeks patch.

 

i am ok with slewing by pressing depress. but they need to get the slew rate very slow

I have the DeltaAlphaLima 1. It makes slewing much easier to control than the original Warthog nipple, but it does not change the basic behavior issues with AGM-65F slewing.

 

 

Oh, and installation was relatively simple. Good instructions.

Gotcha, sounds good! I was really hoping that this wasn't 'realistic' Maverick behavior :)

Does Wag’s post mean that the Maverick slew isn’t changing for other controllers? I use a TWCS and while I can skew with the TDC depressed, it’s still very difficult to be precise. When he says that it’s a hardware issue for the Warthog throttle, does that mean there will be no changes other than an option to slew without holdings TDC depress? I’m just unclear on how to read his post

Jonsky7 - How do you like the Deltaalphalima1 mod? Is it much better than the original slew control? How difficult to swap out?

tim

 

Some of the best money I've spent matey, quite simple to fit too, you don't have to drill or cut anything, just need a crosshead screwdriver and an allen key(supplied)

To put it simply, it's like a Playstation or Xbox analogue stick in place of the nub.

 

Then you just have to run thrustmasters calibration software and it works like a charm.

I'm pretty sure the option will be there for everybody, don't know how they'd manage to code it for just the Warthog. The hardware issue is that the original slew controller on the Warthog throttle is sh*t. I imagine they're also going to do something with the control too, at the moment tuning the axis control doesn't do anything for the Mav slew rate.
