TEOMOOSE

I have read somewhere the amraam has good hobs capabilities that you can compare to aim-9x ish at ranges between 10 - 5 nmi.

May i request an update on this, just would like to if its still up to date. I thought we have 11 class in total, i see 10 here.

Very well. Im looking forward to see more updates for our Viper radar ! Thanks for all the hard work.

Well said, Thank you ! What funny is that your post marked as the solution, and tagged correct as is. Well, everything you have said is correct based on information, but none implemented in current Dcs World.

The radar sensitivity is a four-position indicator controlled by the GAIN rocker switch in the upper left corner of the MFD while on the A-A master mode. Controlling the GAIN up and down, you have the options to enable: small target detection; high gain (or low clutter mode: Low clutter mode provides increased detection range when operating in low clutter areas); Normal Gain (the radar’s sensitivity is set for decreased sensitivity).

Understood! I had that provided to you on Discord. But will check again. Thank you.

Any news on this ? - or just wait.

i have read the opposite of what you are telling me. I cant send the document because that would violate rules, but im pretty sure if do your research you will find it.

This conversation is beyond if this MFD thing.

I havent checked either. But AGM-65D has the capability to lock onto and track tactical-size targets (tanks, BMP's, radar vans, etc.) at a slant range that exceeds the aerodynamic capability of the missile. Currently, feels like its hard coded to a simple value. If you are within this range, than you can do that.

Correct, as i stated this previously. Now what we need is the probability to lock-on targets beyond max slant range. So, again: The seeker converts IR energy into electrical signals. The signals are then converted by a digital computer into a TV video image ( what you see on the MFD WPN page) from which the aircrew is able to identify and lock onto objects. Meaning whatever its projected to the video feed is seen and analyzed by the seeker, therefore you should be able to LOCK-ON that object. Otherwise you dont, and you should not see no IR energy reflection at all.

Exactly, but a reminder to read my post carefully. It is not to be confused with the use of TGP. Im only talking about mavericks and its seeker capabilities. The good lock algorithm does not consider target slant range as a parameter. Therefore the pilot must insure the launch slant range falls withing the aerodynamic range of the missile

Why are you so focused on this! I think that is been answered alright! Im not saying that by changing BRT/CON rocker settings you can get "better" lock, but point out an obvious fact that currently not modeled in Dcs. Just as a reminder, just to stay on topics. AGM-65D has the capability to lock onto and track tactical-size targets (tanks, BMP's, radar vans, etc.) at a slant range that exceeds the aerodynamic capability of the missile. You may also go research on this, just as i did. I found a document that is pretty good in details, with diagrams, and it cannot be ignored.

Yeah you keep saying that, but im getting this information from a official manual. So you cant really change my mind on this. What im actually looking for here is to get the right people on this to investigate. They may not have it, or their sme`s wrong again. @BIGNEWY

On the other hand in Bore mode, When you press TMS aft, it will reset back to the FPM .

Once you ground stabilized the td box (hud soi) you control the wpn seeker (wpn soi). If by mistake you have locked the wrong target, keep wpn page soi tms aft and try again, or make HUD soi and slew td box where you want it, than wpn soi etc. If your td box completely out of place than, again HUD soi tms aft to set back to FPM, and try again. Visual mode is good only for Off-boresight designations with hmcs, you may argue. Otherwise i would use the bore mode. Keep it simple no need to mess around with SOI. no, it will only undo what you had previously targeted

Perhaps some steps are missing there. After you pressed TMS up to ground stabilize the TD box. Switch SOI to weapon page and refine targeting via cursor. This is how its supposed to work, in VIS mode.

OKay! Thanks for all the answers. Im still "missing" a few things here. How about IR energy. The AGM-65D and AGM-65G missiles uses an IR seeker that converts IR energy into electrical signals. The signals are then converted by a digital computer into a TV video image from which the aircrew is able to identify and lock onto objects within the seeker FOV. The digital computer allows the missile to make logical decisions prior to, during, and after launch, decreasing pilot workload and enhancing missile performance. The dual FOV capability provide improved target identification and increased launch range. Launch Range Determination (AGM-65D and AGM-65G): The AGM-65D has the capability to lock onto and track tactical-size targets (tanks, BMP's, radar vans, etc.) at a slant range that exceeds the aerodynamic capability of the missile. (The AGM-65G is primarily intended for use against larger targets, requiring considerable warhead penetration prior to detonation. However, the AGM-65G retains the small point target capability of the AGM-65D.) The good lock algorithm does not consider target slant range as a parameter. Therefore the pilot must insure the launch slant range falls withing the aerodynamic range of the missile. So the seeker dosent care what it is and how far it is! Its only sees the contrast, and so it can lock onto it, as stated above. You the pilot has to make sure you are withing range to shoot. I did made a few interesting pictures with the contrast turned all the way down. Place moving targets arent showing up in the weapon page as white "bricks" only static objects!

I was testing the Missile Boresight Correlator "MBC" using the G variant. The hand-off sequence works, the missile is commanded to track two separate targets from two separate pylons. Also indicated on the HUD Circle 1 and Circle 2. After the lock-on both can be fired or ripple fired. Except when i fire the maverick both missile goes to the same target, but im tracking 2 separate ones confirmed by the hud symbology. I also find it a bug that changing Polarity on the Weapon page dosent change the contrast, white-on-black and black-on-white. You will notice the crosshair changing colors but not the video feed. So i have tried changing gain, brightness, contrast using the mfd rocker buttons to get a lock. Is this because we only see, have the automatic contrast mode, and currently dont have the options to do it manually just yet ? Worth to mention here the missing "uncage weapon" function when using Mavericks. When the Mavericks warmed up and ready to be used, in order to have the video feed up, the pilot presses the uncage button and slew. Unfortunately, i could not get a lock at max range around 9 nmi, but locks are consistent at ranges 7 nmi. The good lock algorithm does not consider target slant range as a parameter. Therefore the pilot must insure the launch slant range falls withing the aerodynamic range of the missile. I could Pm some figures. Also the target acquisition, with a question mark, but as far as i understand it: Holding TMS up stabilizes the seeker gyro, than pilot slew the seeker to that target, and release TMS. Releasing TMS will command the lock-on, even if the target not exactly centered in the tracking window. Restrictions applies. agm65G_2target_track.trk agm65G_nomaxrangelock.trk

This aircraft would be an excellent addition to Dcs World.

hold until XMT L16 is highlighted, more than 0.5 sec

Im not sure i have sent @BIGNEWYthe track file over Discord. Waiting for a response. - i see the tag all aircraft must be in same flight and yes they all are.

Thats correct ! i have tried it again with a buddy and no luck. I have the track file, but its larger than 5 mb and cant upload it. I could send it over Discord.

I will, Thank you!

I meant exactly what i wrote in my first post. I have had the TGP SOI but it did not work, instead it sent out the selected steerpoint.
