For other sensors like radar and TGP, you can accidentally move your flightplan, when slewing around, therefore you have the CZ button to reset it
Maverick should not interfere with the SPI, so this sounds like a bug.

That's interesting. I definitely have it locked up for way longer than that and encounter the issue mentioned.
I locked the target up in VIS mode and move the TGP and zoom in on the target. I'll do some more testing.
Having a Point or Area track is not enough, you need to manually "lase" the target using 1st stage trigger, for 3 seconds before release and as mentioned above, aim for the wheels/tracks

You're welcome

No offense, but i really don't understand why people fly flightsims without a joystick. Even a cheap basic usb joystick of a few bucks make a lot of different in controlling the plane. It makes life so much easier

okee.. why does the hud not come on, when rotating the wheel... at rampstart and leaving the MMC switch off
Its like when you turn your car key, the head lights won't come on until the engine runs... but when shutting down the engine, the lights won't die out.
See it more as the HUD is your monitor and the MMC is a your motherboard/desktop
In your case it's more like turning on your monitor, but not your desktop.
Why it does that when shutting down seems like a bug to me

To my understanding (i'm not an avionics guy) the HUD is a separate unit, but it's a display, so not a processing unit itself.
If you don't turn on the other stuff, there is simply nothing to show.
The SYM wheel is like an on/off button and brightness wheel in one

If you're out of range, it naturally won't give you anything
How silly now i read that back
let me rephrase that...
If i'm not mistaken, the tankers in DCS are bearing only on Y band and make sure to set TACAN to A-A, airfields give you both bearing and distance on X band

How far away from the TACAN where you?
If i'm not mistaken, TACAN doesn't give range information, if you are out of range, only a bearing

As mentioned above, make sure the canopy is fully down by holding down the switch. If you have the engine still off, you can hear the actuator stop and thats when you release the switch
In RL after the canopy closes, the hooks need to rotate to ensure a positive lock (i think thats DCS way of needing to hold the switch)

I think Mavericks and boresighting is fairly simple and easy to use.
If you hate it, its fine, you can use the Mavs without boresighting or use different weapons

Reset both? Reset one and then switch over to use that one?
i reset both to be sure

For those who have this issue, try this:
I tried it a couple of times today and sometimes i have this issue where the missiles miss their target. My steps to "fix" this for now is to reset the INU under Util page of the TSD. Works 100%, all of my fired missiles hit their intended target after the reset
-
It has a reason why they developed bombs like GBU-49 and GBU-54.
If you want to be that accurate to take out a vehicle, use laser guidenance or a Maverick

you need to wait until rpm gets to just over 20% and stabilize there and the SEC light goes out. After those 2 conditions are met, advance throttle to idle using Shift+Home

try setting turbo mode to off in OpenXR, before removing headset

Just flew around in Caucusus MP and couldn't hit anything with the L version

What are you regularly changing? I only change five numbers on program 1 & 2 during each startup, takes literally seconds while the INS is aligning. I set program 1 as anti ARH/BVR, and program 2 as a WVR anti IR dispense pattern. Sometimes I'll program 3 as a pre-emptive pop-up attack, longer duration pattern, but not always.
Do you have optimised profiles for each specific threat? Quite interested in how others set it up.
Yes, i do use different programs as the stock ones are quite useless.

I know we get DTC one day, but the way it is now, it's just clumsy and annoying, having to set CM every time we start up
I mean while we wait for a DTC, ED could have made a temporarily solution like i mentioned above
-
i wish ED can implement something like in theJF17, where you can set the programs in the "Special" tab under options. It's very easy and fast to use

Good question: does anyone know if it's standard procedure to switch to CAT I after an emergency jettison? I don't see it documented anywhere.
Yes, because you'll get a caution light as soon as you press the jettison button
2 hours ago, Wiggo said:Yup. Dunno if its done IRL, but with logic in game it should help manouvering the aircraft.
BTW. If I have like two mavs and two 500lbs bombs but none tanks, should I still Use CAT III ? Do I ALWAYS use CAT III with A/G payloads, where there tanks or not...?
Only A/A missiles and center line tank are considered CAT I
Any A/G stores and wing tanks are considered CAT III

I was speaking about the Mirage 2000 , Raven was speaking about the Mirage 2000^^
It was more intended for people who think that the F16 works in a similar matter, because Raven answered you that the system is partially implemented, this can lead people to think the F16 should give a tone aswell
I know how the Mirage works, it was my first module years ago
-
The F16 doesn't give you a warning tone, only a caution light

You are not getting the point of the previous poster. In RL there is a BVR time-line you strictly follows based on the mission. The range is not about knowing where bandits will be, but about knowing at which range you commit or abort, if you commit you probably either go to TWS or even STT for greater accuracy, but you'll have a sorted target asigned and you are just not changing scan/azimuth settings at that time, that would happen before to know how many groups or bandits you are engaging.

That not what he said in his post. How can i know what he says, if he doesnt say what he means?
Noone was talking about when, how or not to commit

However, TWS is only used when you've already found whatever you're engaging.
This is not true
4 hours ago, WHOGX5 said:The distance from the target group where you switch from RWS to TWS in an engagement is predetermined in the mission briefing.
How exactly does briefing know, where the bandits are to be found in the entire airspace? Again this statement is not true
4 hours ago, WHOGX5 said:Becuase of this, TWS settings like range or azimuth are simply loaded from the DTC and not meant to be changed while flying.
See above, the pilot can change what he wants in order to find a target. There is no "magic" setting which works every time to see everything and anywhere on the scope
Masked TGP in NAV mode
in Bugs and Problems
Posted
Since today's implementation, the "masked TGP" is coming into the HUD when you turn away from where the TGP is looking and blocking the view of the pod, however it is also giving the message while in NAV mode with no "point" or "area" track
Mask TGP.trk
