Hi there, i was practicing ACM modes on the viper. I noticed that in SLEWABLE ACM mode, the radar goes all the way left and right, irrespective of slew/right left. I can see it with the antenna position indicator, and i also tested that i can lock a target while slewing "full right" while the target is on left gimbal. Why am i able to slew left/right if the radar is fixed at full sweep in this mode? Is that a bug or am i missing something?

Yeah i know. I keep a copy of the modification of each lua file, so i can get it done quicker after updates. For me, it reverts itself once every 4+ updates, on steam.

Seeing as this would take a couple of years to code, i'll suggest that you can change the viewport names in the lua files yourself while you wait for official implementation

I was wondering if the current implementation of the SA page regarding tracks' altitude is final or not. In the viper, you instantly have altitude data for each contact on the HSD. See a contact, you can immediately and accurately move the radar antenna where needed. In the hornet, no altitude is displayed until you interact with the SA page, either via TDC, or via the STEP buttons which conveniently allows you to step through each of the 17 targets on the screen, leaving the hot bandit at 10 miles for last, of course. Is this final? Will there be a better, faster way to know a track's altitude without pressing buttons?

Does the avionics system use imperial or metric system?

If anyone is frustrated by the useless easter egg, you can change date to 2 apr to make it disappear

Currently impossible, as far as i know. Spent hours upon hours researching.

You still shoot red, they must be traitors, comrade!

One of the last patches introduces the ability to press ENABLE to switch the AIM9 from SLAVE to BORE. However, it seems like you have to keep the button pressed, only for a temporary change. I find this very counteintuitive, but i'm not sure if it's a bug or the software is designed this way.

It didn't overwrite it for me on steam

I spent many hours researching and trying to edit luas, it appears to be impossible.

I think they should stop adding more weapons like sea mines or shrikes which are not that useful, and instead focusing on quality of life. Like better hotas controls

No track as i was MP, but happened here too. Sometimes it just shows the default scan range with infinite range. Uusually starts ok at the beginning of the simulation, but then after i manipulate the radar or HSD i find the circle is extended to infinity.

You must set it to NAV after it's aligned

The TWCS throttle has a paddle that works perfectly with the radar elevation antenna. I would like to buy a new throttle but i can't until they fix the rotary input.

Any update on this? A new axis type would be much appreciated. I'm waiting on this to buy a new throttle.

Does the next missile, after you fire the current non-toned one, give you tone? If yes, i have the exact same issue

As title. There is currently no way to check the datalink on HSD (you can't change page to HSD), or even know the target aspect when locked through ACM modes. Is this the intended behavior or will it change? Edit: accidentally posted in bugs, wanted to post in main section as i don't know if its a bug.

Happened to me to. I think you can press NAV to unstuck it.

Thanks everyone :) Wall button configuration it is. Btw yes, i launch multiple countermeasures but i try to dump a few when in a notch/after disabling AB, in a very short time. I found that it works best.

As title. I'd rather avoid working with programs if it means its going to waste countermeasures, nor i want to have to press multiple buttons (like change programs) in the middle of a dogfight. I like the hornet's one click = one countermeasure and you have two buttons in bypass mode, one for each type. Anything similar in the viper?

Negative. I have no tracks at all. RWS shows the contact, switch to TWS and it's gone. Can be repeated any number of times, with or without MIDS. The contact is still there and you can interact with it, you just can't see it until it's bugged.

I don't have a track as i was in a long MP session, but sometimes my TWS radar didnt show the bricks. However, i could still select and interact with the bricks normally. They start showing once they are bugged. Tracks and system tracks were invisible. I could find their location by turning on MIDS temporarily, or by pressing TMS to system track all of them. Also, the TDC could follow and invisible system track. The TDC was moving following the track correctly, but the brick itself was invisible.

Because doing this costs an high amount of time on development. That is just the reality of how software development works. They could have an update every week by filtering only the things that are ready, but then general development speed would be cut by like 30%

Hello, i can't provide either as i reverted to the previous version. It's possible that there was a player controlled ground unit and that was what i was seeing, i will check again after the list if fixed in a future version
