OnlyforDCS Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 Seems that to get any of the ACM modes (other than PLM) to lock a target, I have to select Sidewinder, get the lock, then cycle back to guns. Same here. Seems kind of unintuitive if that's how it was in the real plane. Would like confirmation that this is indeed a bug. Current specs: Windows 10 Home 64bit, i5-9600K @ 3.7 Ghz, 32GB DDR4 RAM, 1TB Samsung EVO 860 M.2 SSD, GAINWARD RTX2060 6GB, Oculus Rift S, MS FFB2 Sidewinder + Warthog Throttle Quadrant, Saitek Pro rudder pedals.
AvroLanc Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 Seems that to get any of the ACM modes (other than PLM) to lock a target, I have to select Sidewinder, get the lock, then cycle back to guns. Maybe as intended, since the hud diamond box is used for conflicting purposes in each mode.
MRaza Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 It appears that the ACM modes do work with guns, but the radar diamond on the hud doesn't move around to show you which ACM mode you are in is this intended and if so why?

Because the diamond is used to indicate the 2000ft (or something?) Range prediction in guns mode. It can’t be used for the radar scan as well.

Hmm, I swear that in guns mode I can use PAL and VSL even though I dont see the diamond move. Could be mistaken though I will check later
Victory205 Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 You should get the range and closure displays when locked in guns mode. Do you have declutter selected? Fly Pretty, anyone can Fly Safe.
antagonist Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 I can confirm vertical scan modes are working with the gun selected.
Naquaii Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 Like you guys have found the modes work but you get no indication as those symbols are used for the gun when you have it selected. Not a bug.
MRaza Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 Like you guys have found the modes work but you get no indication as those symbols are used for the gun when you have it selected. Not a bug. whats the reasoning behind this?
some1 Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 The diamond is already used by the hud in GUN mode to show bullets path, so it won't display second diamond for antenna position. Hardware: VPForce Rhino, FSSB R3 Ultra, Virpil WarBRD, Hotas Warthog, Winwing F15EX, Slaw Rudder, GVL224 Trio Throttle, Thrustmaster MFDs, Saitek Trim wheel, Trackir 5, Quest Pro
Naquaii Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 whats the reasoning behind this? Hardware limitation, the HUD can only show one diamond symbol and in this case it's used for the gun solution.
