D4n Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Hi, probably more of a question to former F-16 mechanics or even pilots, is this behaviour realistic when taxiing? :huh: (Possibly F-16 pilots IRL are not supposed to change missile-selection on the ground? :P ) DCS Wishlist: 2K11 Krug SA-4 Ganef SAM, VR-TrackIR icons next to player names in score-chart PvP: 100+ manual player-kills with Stingers on a well known dynamic campaign server - 100+ VTOL FARP landings & 125+ hours AV-8B, F-14 crew, royal dutch airforce F-16C - PvP campaigns since 2013 DCS server-admins: please adhere to a common sense gaming industry policy as most server admins throughout the industry do.

Frederf Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 The button does exclusively NWS when WOW and AR door not open. Long press provides "continuous NWS" which I don't know how that's different than tapping it to toggle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dagger71 Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 IRRC the NWS button has 3 functions for the DCS F16 block depending on what your aircraft is doing. on ground engages/disengages NWS in flight missile step AA refueling it disconnects from boom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D4n Posted April 4, 2020 Author Share Posted April 4, 2020 So Frederf, you're also saying with WOW and AR door closed, missile-switching shouldn't work at all by long-pressing NWS button?

Frederf Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Yeah. If NWS or AR DISC are being used by the button then it doesn't do any tactical functions until either of those conditions goes away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D4n Posted April 5, 2020 Author Share Posted April 5, 2020 So this means we can make a bugreport about this, or?

afbl Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 The current behavior is correct that both NWS and missiles will cycle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D4n Posted April 6, 2020 Author Share Posted April 6, 2020 Aahaaa, then I guess F-16 pilots irl are not supposed to long press NWS button on the ground.

Frederf Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 (edited) Holding NWS button to do NWS stuff is a thing, the dash 1 mentions it. I would be very surprised if pressing that button on the ground would do *any* of the tactical functions. I'm trying to think if there's any situation where you'd need the tactical functions of that button on the ground and couldn't do the same thing with OSBs and I'm coming up blank. The button is time shared between functions A (NWS) B (A/R) and C (weapons) and when it's doing function A it never affects B & C. When doing function B it never affects A & C. When doing function C it never affects A & B. Edited April 6, 2020 by Frederf good spot Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D4n Posted April 6, 2020 Author Share Posted April 6, 2020 Aaaah so then it must be a bug currently (if funct. C never affects A&B, what I guess you meant in the end and accidentally wrote "C never affects B&C) DCS Wishlist: 2K11 Krug SA-4 Ganef SAM, VR-TrackIR icons next to player names in score-chart PvP: 100+ manual player-kills with Stingers on a well known dynamic campaign server - 100+ VTOL FARP landings & 125+ hours AV-8B, F-14 crew, royal dutch airforce F-16C - PvP campaigns since 2013 DCS server-admins: please adhere to a common sense gaming industry policy as most server admins throughout the industry do.

D4n Posted April 6, 2020 Author Share Posted April 6, 2020 Aaaaah thank you!! Finally cleared this, so F-16 pilots would never switch to A2A master mode on the ground I think (or never long-press NWS on ground).
