Reflected Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 So I usually arm my Eagle with AMRAAM-s, either 4 or 6 of them. When I fire the first one the max range is at around 30 (ish) miles. Then I can fire - at non maneuvering targets. Sometimes however, when I switch to AMRAAMs a different kind of range appears on the right side of my hud, indicating a max range of around 12 miles. I checked if maybe I selected an AIM-7 accidentally, but no. What is this all about? I can't figure out what I messed up. Facebook Instagram YouTube Discord
Nirvi Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 The launch range is dynamic. Range depends on your own and your target speed, aspect, altitude. Serious uglies Discord 4YA - Project Overlord WW2 Server My DCS Videos
Retu81 Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 The launch range is dynamic. Range depends on your own and your target speed, aspect, altitude. Yep. An example: Your target is at the origin, nose facing along the Y axis. You'll see that when he is coming towards you, you can launch the missile at greater range than if he was running away from you.
Reflected Posted March 31, 2016 Author Posted March 31, 2016 A-haa, so the F-15's system automatically re-calculates these distances based on aspect? Wow, it's smart!! Facebook Instagram YouTube Discord

The system needs to solve the intercept problem if it wants to have any chance of guiding the AIM-120 to its activation point. Might as well show some of the data to the user as well. :)
