winchesterdelta1 Posted December 26, 2015 Author Posted December 26, 2015 Thank you Stephane. I made a quick tutorial myself as well. It's just to get some people going. Nothing super special. Go in close, and when you think you are too close, go in closer.
winchesterdelta1 Posted December 26, 2015 Author Posted December 26, 2015 How to enable and use the Close Combat Vertical scan mode? If there is such thing. Go in close, and when you think you are too close, go in closer.
nomdeplume Posted December 26, 2015 Posted December 26, 2015 Is it currently possible to have laser-guided bombs guided by the AI (or buddy-lased by an A-10C)? I think specifically we would need to know if the GBU-12, -16 and -24 dropped by this module have a "default laser code" they'll seek on? I've tried using Spot.createLaser() with codes 1688 (A-10C default) and 1111 (lowest valid code) with no luck. Also tested dropping a bomb with the A-10C to make sure the script was still working (wrote it some time ago) and had no problems with it guiding to the target.
Azrayen Posted December 26, 2015 Posted December 26, 2015 How to enable and use the Close Combat Vertical scan mode? If there is such thing. Open the manual (PDF) Hit search (CTRL+F) Type "Vertical scan" and Enter All you need to know... :smartass: Short answer: V cycles the CAC modes.

I needed a STT lock and than I could use "v" key, not before?!? €dit No.2: it works that way: # Radar EM # Master Arm on # Select Magic Missle (LCtrl + 2) ------------------------- now you can cycle to the scan mode you like ("v") # selected scan mode stays even if you change to 530 # every change to Radar setting (like range or something) will disengage all Scan modes and go back default Edited December 26, 2015 by LuSi_6 :pilotfly: Warthog HOTAS, Saitek Pedals, Oculus Rift :joystick:
Azrayen Posted December 26, 2015 Posted December 26, 2015 strange, seems to work sometimes and not with the 530. Uh? Well 530 not being a CAC missile... didn't even try that. :D Anyway LuSi_6, I was answering winchesterdelta1's question. I know people are excited about this new toy (and believe me, I'm too) but Zeus put a lot of effort into the manual for use to be able to use it at release. We shall at least try to do it, wa all what I was saying ;)

MAD-MM Posted December 26, 2015 Posted December 26, 2015 Question to the Radio manual is little bit lacking of information's, where change you between the pre-set channels and the frequency selector?

Azrayen Posted December 26, 2015 Posted December 26, 2015 A = Arrêt => Off M = Manuel => Manual (freq) P = Prédéfini => Preset (channels) G = Garde => Guard
MAD-MM Posted December 26, 2015 Posted December 26, 2015 THX Azrayen next question INS is still rudimentary is it possible to switch waypoints? Once you have tasted Flight, you will forever walk the Earth with your Eyes turned Skyward. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] 9./JG27
Zeus67 Posted December 26, 2015 Posted December 26, 2015 THX Azrayen next question INS is still rudimentary is it possible to switch waypoints? Click on the DEST button, it should move to the next waypoint and will cycle in a loop.

QuiGon Posted December 26, 2015 Posted December 26, 2015 THX Azrayen next question INS is still rudimentary is it possible to switch waypoints? Yes, hit the DEST button on the INS panel.

XeNoise Posted December 26, 2015 Posted December 26, 2015 (edited) Two things i didn't get yet, and i didn't found on the manual, after i should finally be kind of operative :D 1. How do i set the hud so it shows the virtual landing strip? I set the INS mode on NAV, mode on the PCA on "APP", HUD turned on.. i guess i need to set some kind of frequency, or target the air field? EDIT: I found something on the manual c. The runway data (heading and glideslope) was entered. d. Both localizer and glidesclope have been captured How do i do this? My own heading? 2. how do i tell who's friendly and who is not, when i use radar? Edited December 26, 2015 by XeNoise
jojo Posted December 26, 2015 Posted December 26, 2015 1- for now the airfield must be the landing waypoint in flight plan. 2- no IFF yet. Mirage fanatic !

jaguara5 Posted December 26, 2015 Posted December 26, 2015 What are representing the various markers in the S530 range scale on the HUD? (Rmax, Rmin and what else, i see various markers).

XeNoise Posted December 26, 2015 Posted December 26, 2015 1- for now the airfield must be the landing waypoint in flight plan. 2- no IFF yet. How do i do this? With the f-15 it was enough to select ILSN and the waypoint would change automatically. And about number two: does it mean that if i don't have the situational awareness of maverick, i'm totally useless and dangerous (for my teammates) in combat for now?
MAD-MM Posted December 26, 2015 Posted December 26, 2015 No escape zone :shocking::megalol: The France are funny guys :) Still no IFF currently but for sure the range of the 530 and mica is near visual identification hope also sun for introducing but anyway great modul have lot of fun with it.

winchesterdelta1 Posted December 27, 2015 Author Posted December 27, 2015 (edited) I finally know how to use the Close combat radar mode thanks to Azrayen. But how to get out of it to go back to normal radar scan mode? What button to press or keyboard key? I tried everything. From shutting down radar to configuring all the settings back to default manually. And pressing V several times.Even after i landed and took off again it remembered the close combat mode. Edited December 27, 2015 by winchesterdelta1 Go in close, and when you think you are too close, go in closer.

It's in the options as "Special Modes Deselect" in the HOTAS category, and on page 92 of the manual.
