Hey ramjet! You do not need to slew the MAV itself. What I do is just slew the TGP to the target I want and designate, then the MAV will lock automatically (there are some bugs with it right now but almost works perfect). Then you chose the next target with the TGP and do the same, the next MAV will lock automatically as well. And you never lose situational awareness since you did it all with the TGP without undesignating.

Funny thing is, I never complained about the MAV F, all this talk I think was about the TOO mode for jdam or jsow.

Yeaps! Already reported :) https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=266992

Ok, thanks harker. I was surprised to see this actually simulated, I doubt anyone knew about this :)

We were talking about slewing the MAV not the pod. :)

You mean after launch right? So that is something the devs could see in their internal builds while watching my track?? Or I also can?

Yes you do, he is talking about MAV F.

Roger and thanks for the feedback. I hope my comments haven't been disliked or interpreted as negative. Thanks.

I find a very nice practice to challenge ourselves everytime we can. That is why I would love to see ED revise if maybe there was a interpretation issue here. Mainly because there are numerous posts and threads about this and is starting to get old. It would not be the first time ED says firmly "this is the documentation we have" and three weeks later they change the behavior. So that's good, I hope this is one of those cases. Thanks for your feedback.

There is a bug/WIP currently in STT where the radar logic won't decide what the best PRF is for the given situation (aspect, range, etc.). So yes, you are correct.

Santi, I'm afraid I must let you know that you are wrong. You see, when you create a waypoint and designate like you said, you are then obligated to undesignate and lose situational awareness again, otherwise after pickling the next TOO will be overwritten by the waypoint you designated. Bottomline, with the current implementation of the hornet we CANNOT observe target area unless you look for it manually (absurd). First press of the NWS will not snowplow in the real aircraft. I trust that your intel says different, but what can I say. I love DCS and the Hornet, but I don't agree on this one... Not that anyone cares hehe

It is in the morning when the bug shows itself, cant post a pic now I'm sorry.

Wow! Can you expand on that please? I'm interested.

I'm also struggling with this a lot. It doesn't make any sense that the pilot cannot look at the target area because he undesignated so the TOOs won't overwrite. I'd love to see ED let us know that at least it is not a mistake in DCS but from Boeing themselves.

same results

Hi, I hope they find the time to look at this. Looking forward to some feedback.

There is a bug reported a lot of time ago (but not acknowledged by ED) about STT. IRL STT mode chooses the best PRF for the given situation (aspect, range, etc), but in DCS STT gets stuck at whatever PRF was active at the moment of commanding STT. So if you were in Interleaved mode and the PRF was HI at the moment you command STT but the target is cold and far then you'll lose lock. Maybe this helps, maybe not, hope it does. Thanks.

Good questions. I'd like to see what others think.

Well, I really can't make it work at all. EXP for me just puts a random contact in the center of the screen and makes it wobble all around. :(

I wonder if they will clear the landing area and under what conditions. It looks SO DAMN GOOOOOD.

Yeah, I watched it! Superb!!! I got really excited now. Still looking forward to having a realistic ICLS :)

Is the EXP function in the SA page implemented yet? It is not working at the moment and I don't know if reporting it as a bug or just wait for ED to code it. Thanks.

+1

I'm sorry if my post came down a little harsh, I apologize. Now your turn

This is one of my biggest wishes for the supercarrier. Nothing would destroy more the realism of all the great things ED is doing, than having the ICLS bouncing like a ball like now.
