Jyge Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 Is there a way to release the lock and return the seeker to boresight. If I have a lock and hit someone, the seeker stays locked until the enemy is destroyed. Also if I get a wrong one locked - how can I cancel the lock and return the seeked to boresight? Also the heat seeker with radar locking seems to be shooting wherever...
Fri13 Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 Isn't it same as unlocking the radar target? I would like to know how to get the Magic seeker locked to something else than boresighted? i7-8700k, 32GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 2x 2080S SLI 8GB, Oculus Rift S. i7-8700k, 16GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 1080Ti 11GB, 27" 4K, 65" HDR 4K.
myHelljumper Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 Isn't it same as unlocking the radar target? No, there is a separate key bind for this action, IRL I don't know if it's a separate button. I would like to know how to get the Magic seeker locked to something else than boresighted? You have a button called magic slave that slave the magic seeker to the radar lock.

Jyge Posted March 12, 2019 Author Posted March 12, 2019 Yes, found it - funnily I had already mapped the slave Magic button, but I had somehow in my head that it is the button that releases the heat seeker to do its own searching, like in AV8B. Unlock was a bit hidden under the HOTAS controls, now I got it thank, chained it together with radar unlock button, not sure what happens with the other functions INS update and NAV update once chained, but I practically never use these... The first part leads me to a further question though - is there a possibility in fact to release the missile heat seeker to do its own scan like in Harrier?

Mainly for in-flight "realignement" The first part leads me to a further question though - is there a possibility in fact to release the missile heat seeker to do its own scan like in Harrier? I don't know the Harrier, but when the Magic is not locked on a target it scans near the cross on the top of the hud Nabla Corporation

Yes, IRL Magic have different scan patterns, changed with Magic unlock button. Mirage fanatic !

Fri13 Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 Yes, IRL Magic have different scan patterns, changed with Magic unlock button. What scan patterns it has? As I was surprised that Magic had just the boresight mode or radar lock ones, instead any search pattern around. i7-8700k, 32GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 2x 2080S SLI 8GB, Oculus Rift S. i7-8700k, 16GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 1080Ti 11GB, 27" 4K, 65" HDR 4K.

I so would like to get to know how the real HOTAS works in the Mirage. The actual button layout, the actual button functions and all. Now it is just getting a Thrustmaster Warthog bindings and all that I don't want. I want to know what are the covers, buttons, axis etc all in the real thing. As now it looks like it is impossible to bind the correct functions to HOTAS as the combinations are not there (require in DCS a two buttons, while in manual they are listed to be behind one) as they might be paired with wrong functions. That is what I am waiting for the Mirage 2000C overhaul (already overdo). i7-8700k, 32GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 2x 2080S SLI 8GB, Oculus Rift S. i7-8700k, 16GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 1080Ti 11GB, 27" 4K, 65" HDR 4K.

But I have a Saitek X-55 and I set up the HOTAS in DCS control menu. I assigned all real HOTAS functions to my X-55. The HOTAS is properly described in the Razbam manual.

33-DFTC Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 There are very informative images of the real Mirage 2000 HOTAS in the manual. I used them to bind my own HOTAS and replicate as close as possible the real pilot's workflow. Are these images not explicit enough ? There are only two types of aircraft, fighters and targets. - Major Doyle "Wahoo" Nicholson, USMC

Personally I've struggled to get enough buttons, even with modifiers, to map everything to a T1600 HOTAS, but I can get enough on there to do the basics
