CarbonFox Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Pretty much trying to achieve a radar lock on anything is a nightmare at the moment. Hopefully it gets sorted out soon.

deadpool Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 I just flew a mission where and was impressed with how many times a radar can lose lock at 20nm and then consequently not reaquire. You slew the TDC on the target and press TMS UP and it just resets the cursor to center and you don't get anything. The state of the F-16 is extremely frustrating. And sadly no updates since ages for those core problems. Lincoln said: “Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power."

I’m able to lock up pretty good with TWS. However that’s locking at co-altitude. I haven’t tried in the worse case scenario of being higher than bandit with ground clutter. Also playing SP.

Notso Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 I have a related question about DGFT mode.... Everytime I use boresight or vertical to get a lock, if I then thumb forward to switch to MRM mode to use the AIM-120, it breaks the lock. Is this correct behavior? If so, how do I switch missile modes while in DGFT from AIM-9 to AIM-120 and back? There's been many a time I've missed a fleeting shot because I've broken lock trying to go to a -120. TIA.

Ah, interesting. I will try that. On a related note, is it correct that in DGFT mode, there are no ASE circles or Wez displays for either missile type when locked using an Auto-Acq mode? Seems odd that they don't appear once the lock has occurred. Or is that still WIP?

The question remains though if it is correct behaviour that the lock gets dropped when moving the MSL OVRD switch.

Orr89 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 The question remains though if it is correct behaviour that the lock gets dropped when moving the MSL OVRD switch. Yes I believe this is behaving correctly. As you are changing Master modes it resets the sensor etc. You as if you are in a Dog fight you shouldn't need to switch master mode at all once merged with the bandit.

It's sometimes helpful to get DLZ indications after locking up a bandit in DGFT OVRD, as DLZ indication is absent from DGFT OVRD mode AFAIK (or maybe I just haven't looked hard enough).

QuiGon Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Page 148 of the Early Access Guide shows the DLZ for the AIM-9X but it's not yet implemented Oh, alright then. I hope that also applies to the AIM-7/AIM-120, because sometimes even a ACM-locked bandit is outside of Rmax for the AIM-9 (supersonic tail chase).

Switching from AA to AG obviously drops lock due to changed Radar mode, but switching between NAV/AA/DGFT/MRM does *not* drop target.

Switching from AA to AG obviously drops lock due to changed Radar mode, but switching between NAV/AA/DGFT/MRM does *not* drop target. You mean "it should not drop target"? Because currently it does drop target when using the DGFT OVRD switch.

volk_50 Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Getting back the NAV from DGFT? Once in DGFT mode I can’t figure a way to switch back to navigation on HUD. It must be something simple but I’m stumped :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvsgas Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Once in DGFT mode I can’t figure a way to switch back to navigation on HUD. It must be something simple but I’m stumped :cry: Look in the option, controls. HOTAS section, dogfight switch center position will turn off Dogfight mode or Missile override. To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that. Thank you for you patience.

OK, I'll see if I can get a track of this. Should be easy to replicate. And I didn't think it sounded correct to drop the lock when thumbing forward on the DFGT OVRD SW. Thanks.

WingC3 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 HOTAS button for Slave/BORE In a related area: In DGFT mode, is there a way (other than pressing the MFD OSB) that lets you toggle on the HOTAS between AIM-9X Slave and BORE quickly? (I know I can bind the OSB to my stick, I'm asking if there's an official HOTAS button for it)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takamba Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 If i am not mistaken, this would be the Cursor Enable Button on the throttle. But it is not implemented yet. DCS Rafale - please :thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frederf Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Slave and bore is switched with the uncage button on the throttle and it works. Shouldn't be. Enable AIM-9 Temporarily select alternate of SLAV/BORE setting AIM-120 Temporarily select alternate of SLAV/BORE setting Uncage AIM-9 Consents to AIM-9 seeker uncage AIM-120 Consents to boresighted AIM-120 launch Remember that SLAV/BORE selection is set per missile and so it is possible to have six missiles with six independent choices. One can choose to put one AIM-9 SLAV and the other BORE and simple step missiles to have either configuration ready to fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
