drasit Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 FC3/F-15C I can't figure out how to 'bug' a target while in TWS in order to initially guide the AIM-120? You Tube tutorial says to press 'tab' key but that does not work? Can anyone explain the key difference between bore site and flood mode for the AIM-7? What is best situation in which to use each radar mode?

You Tube tutorial says to press 'tab' key but that does not work? Can anyone explain the key difference between bore site and flood mode for the AIM-7? What is best situation in which to use each radar mode? as far as bugging a target Im not sure which key on the keyboard it is. I have mine bound to my throttleset.. As far as Boresight vs flood mode. Boresight is an Auto acquisition mode that anything in the inner circle of the hud will be locked and an STT track will be made and from there as long as the target stays with in the gimble limits of the radar will remain locked. This will then output on the hud and vsd a target box and compute direction altitude speed and aspect angle along with a target ident of a known target profile. When a target is locked in this mode it will get a Lock que on its rwr but not a missile launch untill you actualy fire the aim7. Flood mode is a much larger volume in terms of the hud compared to boresight. but it is not an auto acquisition mode. Therefor you do not get an STT lock with relative information in regards to your target in either the vsd or on the hud [i.e. no square around the target in the hud] and you must also keep your target inside that circle on the hud. When in flood mode any target that is painted will receive a missile launch warning on their rwr even if you did not launch. You will also receive the launch lights on the canopy brow. Again during the entire lock[not realy locked just anything inside of the flood mode] to launch to missile hit you must maintain your target inside of that circle [20* cone] otherwise the missile will not track. In this mode it is imperative you have visual of your target or at least know 100% he is in the flood cone and can keep him in that cone.

pr1malr8ge Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Forgot to mention when and which to use and why.. Flood mode is for the most part an emergancy use mode. But it can come in handy when you need or want to do some black magic voodoo on people.. I.e. you have snuck up on multiple bandits and they don't know you are there.. you can use flood mode to get a lock fire watch that person burn in flames and then manuver to the next person. Vs boresight that locks and you have to unlock to switch to the next target. With flood once that target is out of the FOV of the flood the next target is availble to be launched on.. You can also use flood mode to force someone in defensive as they think they have been launched on.

pr1malr8ge Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 On a side note. I hardly ever use flood mode.. But it is a satisfying kill when you do get one with it..

What is best situation in which to use each radar mode? If you are talking about TWS and locking multiple targets slew the radar cursor over the target in TWS mode and press the target lock button once I think the default key setting is enter the slew to another target on the radar and lock that (enter) once. If you lock the same target twice your radar will enter Single Track Mode and all your radars energy will be focussed on that one target.
