Jammer mode [] switch functionality

[myHelljumper]

Again : no. Sorry.

 

When BR system switch is On, then V light is On.

 

 

BR light indicates that the jamming is active.

 

It may sound a bit weird at first but :

BR means brouilleur on the switch = relates to the powering of the jammer system in a whole. When "just" powered, it remains in listening (= V / veille) mode. Veille is in the sense of listening, not stand by, here.

BR means brouillage on the light = relates to the activation of the jamming emitter (=actively jamming)

 

I stand corrected, thanks for the clarification, this way it sounds logical :thumbup:

[Zeus67]

That is correct. So lets assume I have the knob switched to [], and the HOTAS command on emit, V+BR are lit.

Now I switch the jammer off by rotating to VEI, only V is lit.

If I now turn the knob back to [], and we choose option 1 in the poll, the jammer will instantly start emitting, since it remembers my last HOTAS button setting, but I would have no way of knowing that.

So I would prefer option 2 unless there is some type of indication for the "remembered" HOTAS setting.

 

Hope this clears it up.

 

This is how Option 1 works:

 

VEI = jammer goes to standby: V is lit, BR is dark.

VEI -> [] = jammer remains in standby: V is lit, BR is dark. You must use HOTAS to change jammer mode.

[] -> PCM = jammer goes active: V is lit, BR is lit.

PCM -> [] = jammer remains active: V is lit, BR is lit. You must use HOTAS to change jammer mode.

PCM -> [] = jammer remains active: V is lit, BR is lit. You must use HOTAS to change jammer mode.

 

Thanks for the clarification, so VEI -> [] will always leave you on standby no matter what, but PCM -> [] and vice versa depends on your HOTAS, in that case option one would be my vote.

Thanks. No headbreakings. No 1. Do nothing. There is much other things to do.:smilewink:

Indeed. Harrier awaits.

No, going from PCM to [] will always leave your ECM emitting, until you turn it off. The HOTAS switch acts as a toggle, not a 2-position switch.

Except the current implementation is not option 1. It will have to be changed.

[Azrayen]

Indeed, current implementation is more like option 3. But as we can see, not the best idea :)

[Zeus67]

Since both Option 1 and Option 2 are gathering the same interest I think I will create a Soecial Options entry for this. Since it boils down to personal preferences and has zero impact on mission creation.

Zeus, after next the behavior update.

if "Behavior of the SW in RL" is revealed, would you correct the work?

[Azrayen]

@crow0827 I would dare to say your question is kinda moot: IRL, the jammer doesn't work as an "on/off" pilot-controlled noise-making-only thing like it does in DCS.

Perfect!

While this might seem to be the "least evil" option currently, I would avoid putting it into special options as this will add up to the confusion later on with people asking what is the the difference.

 

I'd suggest if you go for one option, go for it. We'll adapt. (Voted option 1)

[T_A]

After more careful look at the subject using the jammer in the last few days, i would have changed my vote from 2 t o1.

 

the only difference from today (from cold start) would be that you don`t need to shut it down after setting to to [] .

That sounds great! Thx.
