johnnychemo Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 I'm not able to change WIDE & NARROW on the FLIR using this keybind - is this a bug or am I doing it wrong? I also read in Chuck's guide that a long press of that button will switch between CCD & FLIR modes. If so that doesn't work either. Bug or me again? Thanks!!

Foka Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 It should work, but there might be some problem. I couldn't change FOV once. Only once, and never reporoduced it. Maybe it was my mistake? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnychemo Posted January 14, 2021 Author Share Posted January 14, 2021 Well that's weird. I went and checked it quickly and it worked as advertised. The only difference is that I didn't test it in VR (ie it worked fine in non-VR). I wonder if that could be it....I'll have to give it another go with the goggles on and see.

rob10 Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Do you have a MAV up on the other DDI? Even while the FLIR has TDC priority if you have a MAV up on the other DDI that button will control the MAV not the FLIR and you'll have to use the OSB on the DDI to control it on the FLIR. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnychemo Posted January 14, 2021 Author Share Posted January 14, 2021 I was using a laser Mav, so that shouldn't impact it, should it? In any event, it didn't work in VR when I tested it last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a Maverick selected - the RAID/FLIR FOV button will not work to change from WIDE/NAR view (or change the TGP image from CCD to thermal imaging).

johnnychemo Posted January 15, 2021 Author Share Posted January 15, 2021 Even if you are using a laser Maverick? I would have thought that as long as the FLIR was SOI then any sensor commands would flow to it rather than the weapon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fri13 Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 It is odd how the Maverick overrides the DDI authority, but if it is so, then it is so. But that laser maverick that doesn't even have a FOV setrinf would override it from SOI of TGP, that is odd... i7-8700k, 32GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 2x 2080S SLI 8GB, Oculus Rift S. i7-8700k, 16GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 1080Ti 11GB, 27" 4K, 65" HDR 4K.

It does indeed, as another stated - even though FOV has no functionality with an AGM65 laser variant. Apparently they've stated this is correct behavior. Seems exceptionally odd to me as well, and if were a system I designed - certainly wouldn't have programmed it that way (in real life).

Agree with Ziptie! It seems totally illogical, a design flaw. Even if it works that way in the real thing, that's not a good reason to replicate the design flaw in the sim.
