hollowman8904 Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Is there any feedback as to the state of the magic slave? I'm never sure if it is enabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hollowman8904 Posted August 20, 2016 Author Share Posted August 20, 2016 Is there a switch/light/status indicator telling you if the magics are currently slaved to the radar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azrayen Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 There should be a circle (Magic seeker) going after the square (radar target). When both locks (radar+magic) are obtained on the same target, then circle and square are replaced by a triangle. Dunno if implemented though, going through a PC overhaul for now.

Rlaxoxo Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 at the moment when you hear the Magic lock tone that means you can fire and it will track like in the video here [ame] [/ame] [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Youtube Reddit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davee Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 at the moment when you hear the Magic lock tone that means you can fire and it will track like in the video here Something's not working right with those Magics. Lots of explosions on the heavies but no damage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skjold Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Something's not working right with those Magics. Lots of explosions on the heavies but no damage? They are likely set to invulnerable in the mission editor for testing purposes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be clear an unambiguous. Its not yet implemented. What you currently see is no change to indicate that the Uncage/slave selection has been made. When the IR threshold is sufficient the Seeker circle snaps to the target inside the TD box and tone is heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the IR threshold is sufficient the Seeker circle snaps to the target inside the TD box and tone is heard. Well, I'm not sure the circle appears as soon as you press the control, perhaps it's only when the seeker tries to lock the radar target. Is it that important? Should be quick anyway... ++ Az' PS: it's really a slave feature, not simply an uncage. There is an "uncage" mode that allows the Magic to be used as primary seeker (MAV = Magic Veille) independently from the radar, but I don't know more about it. AFAIK it's not implemented (yet?) in DCS. Edited August 21, 2016 by Azrayen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavagai Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Is it that important? In the video the second magic is slaved to the radar even though we don't hear the tone. How does the pilot know this?

nomdeplume Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Only? Yes, only slave Magic seeker to radar target. There would be very few times when slaving the radar to the Magic seeker would be useful. If you have the target in front of you within Magic range, use the close-combat radar modes to quickly lock it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
