Problem in TWS

[Belisarius]

I find that if my targets are close to each other I can't clearly define them on the radar screen. When I try to designate primary, secondary, etc , I end up designating the same target twice and wind up in STT. How do you avoid this?

There isn't really anything you can do. Best I've found it putting the TD all the way to the left end of the contact and locking, then moving to the opposite side and hopefully locking the other one instead of going STT.

Best option to try first ^

 

Then if they are really REALLY flying close and it does not work , try move plane left or right . One target will lag behind on your radar screen briefly, if push button fast enough you can lock it to .

Zooming right in on your Radar Screen really helps if the situation allows!

For now at least, if the two targets are merged into one and are incapable of a multi track, you're probably way too far way to even think about engaging with an AMRAAM for as long as they're performing poorly in DCS. Anything AI that is less than 20NM away (I don't engage further with current AMRAAM performance ATM) will usually have enough spacing to multi track via TWS, you shouldn't have issues with the cursor.

 

Only on multiplayer will you still struggle where guys fly literally inches apart to mask their signature and screw your TWS chances - in which case refer to the above methods.

 

Further to Maverick's point, as he says make sure you keep your radar display nice and zoomed in. So if you're currently on a 40NM display and they cross the 20 mark, then zoom to a 20 perspective which will space them out a bit on your VSD.

Thanks guys. Will try all the above over next few days.

One comment...been flying a10c for a couple of years, off and on. Switched recently to F 15' just for fun. On returning to the a10 it felt like flying through molasses....feels so low and slow! But it's a great feeling to be back in the familiar cockpit!

Dont worry sir you just have a dose of Fastjet-itis, unfortunately however its generally incurable and will likely plague you for the rest of your days ;)

 

Obviously there are different strokes for different folks... but generally speaking nothing beats going fast and shooting people in the face :D

 

HELL NO TO GOING SLOW!!!
