Zimmerdylan Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 Anyone else not able to use Visual recon mode with the F86? I have it set for mouse button 2 (default), it doesn't seem to be able to be assigned to my HOTAS. But when I try to use it in a mission.....won't work. Works for other DCS modules, just not F86....I :helpsmilie: think it won't work with the Huey either. Though I'm not sure. I'll have to check.
enigma6584 Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 Curious, what is "visual recon mode?" I've seen the reference to it before and I've seen the command in the Huey controls commands but have no idea what it does.

Just go into your settings tab, Gameplay, and on the bottom of the left list of features is "Cockpit visual recon mode". Visual recon mode is the ability to place the cursor (using your mouse) anywhere outside the cockpit, right click and it tells you if there are enemy planes, units, or whatever. I believe that it only goes out about 10 miles. About the same as if you were using labels and they showed up as you got closer. So it's basically a way of alerting your team that there are enemy units around. To get the idea, go into a map in single player with labels. As you fly over or near enemy units and see the red labels, set your cursor on them and right click. It will tell you what kind of units and how far.
