Hi gang. I'm new here. First post.
I've looked back through lots of pages, looking for the answer to this question and can't find it.
I'm relatively new to the A-10C sim. I've recently learned how to fire the Mavericks and drop bombs successfully.
I'm experiencing a problem with the Mavs that I don't know if it's something I'm doing, something my computer is doing or even if it's something that is supposed to be happening.
For practice, I've been flying the instant action missions, the first one in particular. I've successfully completed it several times, but it's often luck that does it. When using a Maverick to take out a target, I seem to have a limited time to acquire the target or it will dissappear.
It seems to happen like this. I turn towards a target and select a missile. I'll press the Mav button on the right MCDU and make it SOI. I'll slew it onto the target with long V and then attempt to get it on the particular target with the slew controls on my throttle. While I'm doing this, I'm of course looking at the target through the right MCDU. I only have a few seconds it seems to get the target locked up or the video from the MCDU seems to change to inverse video or something like that and I can't see the targets at all. It becomes very grainy and 2 dimentinal. OCCASIONALLY, I'll accidentally slew across one and lock it up, but I can't see it on the screen. If I can get it locked up within a few seconds, it will appear normal, but that time window is very small.
I don't think that the problem is with my computer screen because everything else appears normal, the only thing that's screwed up is the video from the MCDU.
Is this normal and if so, what can I do about it?
Thanks!
