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

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.

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

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.

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...

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.

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??

Has your human RIO selected the missile stations?

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)
