TomCatMucDe Posted July 3, 2016 Posted July 3, 2016 Hi, anyway has a problem to go back to CCM Vertical mode after losing the lock? I go can go back to Boresight mode but not Vertical mode. It is quite frustrating when you are in a middle of a dogfight. Cheers.

ZHeN Posted July 3, 2016 Posted July 3, 2016 I don't experience such problem, CCM modes cycle just fine if lock is lost [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
zerO_crash Posted July 3, 2016 Posted July 3, 2016 (edited) I do get a similar problem but with all modes. Sometimes, when I wish to go into ccm, it simply cancels it out and keeps going back to standard. Not sure if it's got anything to do with opponent jamming, but it's seems problematic nevertheless.

OldE24 Posted July 3, 2016 Posted July 3, 2016 There are 2 versions of DCS right now it is VERY HELPFUL if you would please post what version Beta 1.5.4 or stable 1.5.3? 8700k@4.7 32GB ram, 1080TI hybrid SC2
TomCatMucDe Posted July 3, 2016 Author Posted July 3, 2016 CCM unlock issue I am using the latest Beta.
ZHeN Posted July 4, 2016 Posted July 4, 2016 experiencing a very unpleasant bug in CCM modes (both in S530s and R550s) from latest patches radar locks on someone, but HUD is not showing me anything about the target - as if it caught some kind of noise from jammers ... I'm trying to drop the lock, but it re-locks again onto this "something" that is still not shown on the hud ... how do I fight that bug ? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
jojo Posted July 4, 2016 Posted July 4, 2016 When you say: but HUD is not showing me anything about the target Do you mean you don't see the target square ? Do you have range scale on the right ?

ZHeN Posted July 4, 2016 Posted July 4, 2016 Do you mean you don't see the target square ? Do you have range scale on the right ? nothing, no square, no dotted-lined square, no range, nothing. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
TomCatMucDe Posted July 4, 2016 Author Posted July 4, 2016 Looks like w very similar issue. If you cycle the CCM modes do you see vertical and boresight ?
ZHeN Posted July 4, 2016 Posted July 4, 2016 (edited) surely not - because radar is locked onto this "something" - look at the HDD, it will show you radar is locked on target you can't cycle through modes when you have a lock on Edited July 4, 2016 by ZHeN [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

In MP (flying vs. AI) or SP, I got no problems. Possibly also jammers. Can never seem to lock onto anyone with my radar, as long as there is at least one active jammer in place...

SixthFall Posted July 4, 2016 Posted July 4, 2016 yep i get this issue too, and have had it since ccm was intoduced, it's been around a while -16AGR-Bear
ZHeN Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 (edited) this issue keeps buggin me out online ... the only way to beat Su-27 and F-15 is sneak undetected to them (which is really difficult by itself, since their FC3-style toy-radars can lock me even on the runway ...) with radar off. and then engage in quick close-combat battle with 530s, but this bug with CCM mode ruins everything ... using RWS/TWS is simply safer Edited July 8, 2016 by ZHeN [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

This is the first time I see this issue. Hmm. What can you tell me about the mission? Do you have a track or tackview file? That would be helpful. What was the CCM mode you were using when this happened? Is it only online or does it happen offline as well?

That would be helpful. What was the CCM mode you were using when this happened? Is it only online or does it happen offline as well? I'm afraid, there won't be any track/mission/tacview file. Cause mostly it happens during online battles (can't really remember if this bug occurs offline, but I'm ~60% sure it does - I think it happened to me in "Missile combat" quickmission). And I've never used tacview before. It happens in any mode - Vertical or boresight for R550, and both S530Ds modes. More over, yesterday, I've discovered, that after 'debugging' actions - when finally I managed to unlock target, switched to one of the standard scan modes (RWS or TWS), CCM tends to break down at all and not lock targets anymore. Not even the way, I've described before (when lock is only on the hdd, not on the hud). For instance, yesterday I was flying online and a guy told me there was a Su-25T in the area. Found him on the radar with usual RWS, locked; lock has been lost (I was scanning from up high, he was low near the ground); I switched to CCM, locked him up, again this bug happened - nothing on the hud, but a locked target on HDD, then after many attempts and switching to different PCA buttons I've managed to unlock the target, finally switched to boresight CCM of R550, had the target inside the boresight, but it still did not lock. I was lucky Magics don't need radar lock for launch, so had to shoot without locking. Edited July 8, 2016 by ZHeN [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Dave317 Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 I'm also having a hard time unlocking in ccm. This is in single player too.
OldE24 Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 THIS IS NOT HARD THIS IS AN EASY FIX IF YOUR CCM STICKS CHANGE THE RADAR SWEEP TO 30/60/120 and it will return to normal. CCM does NOT work if the target/targets are jamming in front of you. 8700k@4.7 32GB ram, 1080TI hybrid SC2
Rlaxoxo Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 THIS IS AN EASY FIX IF YOUR CCM STICKS CHANGE THE RADAR SWEEP TO 30/60/120 and it will return to normal. Nice trick I'll try it out thanks [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Youtube Reddit
grunf Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 I'm afraid, there won't be any track/mission/tacview file. Cause mostly it happens during online battles DCS should automatically save all your MP tracks. At least that's how it works for me - I have tons of track, none of them were saved manualy. Check c:/users/(username)/saved games/dcs (whichever version)/tracks/multiplayer/

Check c:/users/(username)/saved games/dcs (whichever version)/tracks/multiplayer/ Most online servers turn tacview export off and you have to get it from the track because with tacview export on you can watch in real time. 8700k@4.7 32GB ram, 1080TI hybrid SC2

Jugdriver Posted July 10, 2016 Posted July 10, 2016 (edited) I am having the same issue, I will try OldE's trick, but I could not get the CCM to cycle thru with magic selected. I would give you more detail but I was online and trying to shoot someone down and not really testing. I am also having radar drop issues when switching from PID to PIC with a 530 armed. This is similar to a while back when it took three or four attempts to to get a clean lock on someone. That was fixed but it seems to be an issue again, anyone else experiencing this with 1.54? Again it is online and heat of battle so I am was not trying to analyze the issue, just trying to get the 530 off the rail so I dont have a lot of detail. I am traveling next week so I cant test more (sorry), but I will look at it and try and document more when I get back. JD AKA_MattE Edited July 11, 2016 by Jugdriver

I've found the track, I will try to make a video capture out of it (since the track is >2h long) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
