fulcrum_64th Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 No. Not yet but there are some major changes coming to the HUD and PCA functionality. These changes will make the aircraft work closer to the real one and they will take a while to get used to. The changes involve the HUD master modes: NAV/APP, AA and AG. looking forward! thanks a lot. :pilotfly: win 10x64 - Asus ROG Maximus XI Hero - I9 9900K@5.0GHz - Samsung 970 EVO m2 2TB - RAM Corsair 64GB DDR4 - Corsair H150i pro - Strix RTX 2080 Ti- oculus rift S and a few other goodies :joystick: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeus67 Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 DO tell us more :D Assuming Zeus keeps this under wraps for now, is there anything we already know is incorrect about the current implementation of those systems? The HUD has four master modes: WOW (Weight On Wheels). NAV + APP (APP is a NAV submode) AA AG Here is how it works now: WOW overrides anything while the aircraft is on the ground. NAV is default mode when in the air. APP is NAV submode. HUD changes to the appropriate mode based on selected weapon in the PCA or by HOTAS. If not weapon has been selected, it will select AA Gun: CAN when you click Master Arm ON. Here is how it must work: WOW overrides anything while the aircraft is on the ground. NAV is default mode when in the air. APP is NAV submode. AA mode is engaged only when selecting CAN or MAG by HOTAS. Clicking on PCA HOTAS button will revert to NAV (only if neither 530 or POL are selected). AA mode is engaged if either 530 or POL are selected in the PCA. Deselecting 530 or POL in the PCA returns to NAV. Clicking on MAG in the PCA does not change into AA, nor does it returns to NAV if AA is engaged. MAG option in the PCA is used to activate magic seeker search option. It does not select the missile for launch nor does it set the system in AA mode. CAN and MAG HOTAS selection are overrides. System will ignore any PCA selection until you click the PCA HOTAS button. Selecting any type of AG weapon in the PCA does not change the system to AG mode. Only the PCA changes to display weapons option in the top row. To activate AG mode you must: Select AG weapon in the PCA. Click the Special Modes Switch Forward. [*]To return to NAV with AG weapon selected you must: Click the Special Modes Switch Aft. [*]The Master Arm switch only authorizes weapons launch/release/fire. If no weapon is selected, nothing happens. System remains in NAV or APP. What does this mean? That during Air-to-Air engagements you can have all three weapons ready at your fingertip: You preselect 530 in the PCA and then choose CAN, MAG or 530 by using the HOTAS buttons: CAN, MAG or PCA. For Air-to-Ground operations this means that you can set your attack plan without losing NAV data. You enter AG mode only when you are ready. As you can see this is a major change in the HUD/PCA functionality and it requires some time and testing to get it right.

Harke Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 (edited) hoo YES ! euu ? "If not weapon has been selected, it will select AA Gun: CAN when you click Master Arm ON." VS "The Master Arm switch only authorizes weapons launch/release/fire. If no weapon is selected, nothing happens. System remains in NAV or APP." Isn't it contradictory?

Johnny Dioxin Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 The main question that comes to mind straight away here, is will this adversely affect the campaign? Bearing in mind that the campaign (and training missions for that matter) builds the pilot's systems knowledge, changing the way the HUD works could well make it incorrect or not work as expected, i.e. as it does with the current system.

Skitter Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Hi there, didn't want to start a new thread. Just a quick question. Are you guys (RAZBAM) planning to do more of the 3 (two is what I need really) way switch abstractions ? It's awesome by the way. I've got I think the whole radar suite mapped to the warthog throttle. I am thinking specifically about the Master arm switch and the gun arm switch. I want to map them to WH Throttle fuel flow switches. Wonder if you have it in plans ? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iLOVEwindmills Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 (edited) Wait, the gun pipper is correct now though? It moves around as you bank and the rounds land where it points. Rounds still overshoot when you fire at longer range, though it seems to be accurate as soon as you get to about 'half' range. Rockets the same, bombs as well especially when you drop them from longer distance they are ways off their mark.
