Hovis Posted April 8, 2019 Posted April 8, 2019 (edited) When selecting PAL, VSL Hi or Low there is no indication on the HUD that the mode is active, however they do work, a lock is acquired I just have no idea when it will happen. However if I ask my human RIO to select VSL low I can see the indicator on HUD Edited April 14, 2019 by IronMike
Dudikoff Posted April 8, 2019 Posted April 8, 2019 Just rambling here, but that sounds like a possible feature as you do know which button you've pushed and if indicated, then you immediately know that RIO selected/overruled something. i386DX40@42 MHz w/i387 CP, 4 MB RAM (8*512 kB), Trident 8900C 1 MB w/16-bit RAMDAC ISA, Quantum 340 MB UDMA33, SB 16, DOS 6.22 w/QEMM + Win3.11CE, Quickshot 1btn 2axis, Numpad as hat. 2 FPH on a good day, 1 FPH avg.

Top Jockey Posted April 8, 2019 Posted April 8, 2019 Both on PAL and VSL Low, isn't it supposed to see the target diamond symbol at the HUD doing its search pattern ?

WOPR Posted April 8, 2019 Posted April 8, 2019 The PAL diamond doesn't always appear for me. VSL low does show reliably. I don't think the high vertical scan should show because it's high above the nose. However, I'm not certain. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk
viper2097 Posted April 9, 2019 Posted April 9, 2019 Just tried yesterday, everything works as it should. PLM: Noticeable on the TID. PAL: Target designator moves in the Hud horizontaly VSL LO: Target designator moves vertivaly, can not be seen all the time VSL HI: Target designator can not be seen If it locks, the TD will stay on the edge of the HUD, or over the Target. I'm not sure, but does it work with all weapons selected? I think it does not work with guns selected... Steam user - Youtube I am for quality over quantity in DCS modules
backspace340 Posted April 9, 2019 Posted April 9, 2019 If you use guns then the diamond isn't shown because it represents something else on the HUD when gun is selected (it's showing you where bullets will be at a certain distance). I think that's probably what you're describing.
104th_Maverick Posted April 9, 2019 Posted April 9, 2019 You need to be in A2A mode to see the modes on the HUD. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] 104th Phoenix Wing Commander / Total Poser / Elitist / Hero / Chad www.104thPhoenix.com www.facebook.com/104thPhoenix My YouTube Channel
IronMike Posted April 14, 2019 Posted April 14, 2019 It also only shows if no weapon is selected or either SW, SP or PH is selected. If the Gun is selected the acm sweep will not appear.

Spuds Posted July 30, 2020 Posted July 30, 2020 Same here Hello guys, think I am having same problem in MP. When I SP with Jester PAL works, diamond shows up in HUD however, when I am in MP flying front seat and using human RIO, I am unable to enter PAL mode. Wondering if my RIO needs to do anything regarding systems??

Wondering if my RIO needs to do anything regarding systems?? Ensure radar is on, and not in standby Make sure pilot selects A2A mode, and not Cruise (which looks similar but has the compass rose tape) Select SW, SP, or PH (guns will not show the diamond)
