The Hornet has Latent Track While Scan (LTWS) enabled by default when in RWS. AFAIK if L&S is designated it should support AMRAAM, although the trackfile update rate will be more dependent on the azimuth and bar scan settings.

@BIGNEWY Just a small bump so this doesn't get lost. Re-checked the track in the latest version, behavior is the same.

LITENING will remains as-is until after Sniper, then will be replaced with LANTIRN.

Technically you don't need to take your hands off the cyclic or collective to change the direct-to, as the bezel options on the TSD are cursor-actionable.

WAS'ing a weapon will always set back to the manual range setting if the sight source is HMD, this is intended, but can be changed to any value between 100m to 50km. The reason manual ranging is better is most circumstances is how the automatic ranging works in the weapons processor. It makes an assumption that the height of the terrain along the HMD's LOS is at zero feet radar altitude. This basically means that the system assumes that the helicopter is flying over perfectly flat terrain, and ranges based on the assumed slant range instead of actual slant range.

Hi, welcome to the forums! Do you have a track replay we can look at?

TGT DATA page, bottom right go to GROUP.

The SEC caution light means the engine is operating in Secondary Engine Control mode. This is a backup mode if the Digital Electronic Control (DEC) system detects specific faults, or if manually selected by the pilot with the ENG CONT switch.

A track would help us diagnose, but ensure the RPM is stabilized at 20%, not just reaching it. The most sure-fire way to ensure the engine doesn't hang-start is to wait for the SEC caution light to extinguish before moving the throttle to idle.

Apparently they'll also shoot directly south if beyond the E/W line.

The GAIN ORIDE switch is used to maintain predictable controllability in the event of AoA sensor or pitot-static failure (not necessarily FCS failure). Depending on the position of the flaps switch, it sets control surfaces to predetermined, fixed values to improve handling under specific conditions.

What's your aircraft's gross weight? George has to respect the torque limits.

In agreement with the above post; user error. The CODE option on the STORES page doesn't change the actual laser code anymore. IRL, these are set physically on the bomb's guidance unit with a screwdriver. In the case of DCS, this would be set either in the mission editor or in the re-arming menu. The code choice is also in error, as 1438 is not a valid code for Paveway II series LGBs (GBU-10, -12, and -16). The second digit can only be 5, 6 or 7.

We'll probably need a track replay so we can see your steps to help diagnose.

A bug report for this already exists here:

The LITENING pod has had IR laser capability via the MARK option for quite some time, but I agree, the beam shouldn't be visible outside the aperture of the NVGs.

CZ should also be available on the FCR and HSD pages.
