Jagr Posted April 9, 2019 Posted April 9, 2019 I'm not sure if this is happening just in the F18 (haven't played much else in a while) but I'd selecting a target for STT and getting the lock and the steering dot but the box bounces all over the place.. the steering dot is telling me left and the box is on the left edge of the HUD so I gently move left and suddenly the box is of HUD to the right or low under the HUD. It even happens when I seen the contact dot.. I was wondering if it was ECM but I've put planes that it should not matter and the STT target box still seems screwed up
Wayan Posted April 9, 2019 Posted April 9, 2019 Are you sure that you got STT? You could be in LTWS, for STT you need to lock that target again. But I am not sure if the L&S Target gets a steering dot.... Greetings Wayan
Tholozor Posted April 9, 2019 Posted April 9, 2019 (edited) Check the radar page, the first TDC press will make the target the L&S target, and the HAFU will have a star in it, and the HAFU symbol will retain its current IFF status color. Going STT will turn the HAFU symbol green and you'll get weapon launch zone information on the HUD. The L&S target will appear on the HUD as a square if unknown and as a diamond with a caret on top if IFF is hostile. The second LTWS target will appear on the HUD as an 'x.' Both symbols will only update their positions on the HUD when the radar sweeps back across the targets, hence why LTWS is unable to provide weapon launch tracking like TWS because the update rate is completely dependent on the radar's settings (antenna elevation, bar scan, degrees of azimuth, etc.) Edited April 9, 2019 by Tholozor REAPER 51 | Tholozor VFA-136 (c.2007): https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3305981/ Arleigh Burke Destroyer Pack (2020): https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3313752/
Jagr Posted April 9, 2019 Author Posted April 9, 2019 That sounds like exactly what is going on.. I must not be getting the 2nd designation to actually get STT.. Thanks
Jak525 Posted April 9, 2019 Posted April 9, 2019 as a diamond with a caret on top if IFF is hostile.Small note this is a bug that's been reported. The hostile caret above should only show when another radar is locking it up and it also has the target designated hostile. This works when in an STT but it always shows when designated via LTWS.
Tholozor Posted April 9, 2019 Posted April 9, 2019 Ah, that's right, I forgot about that. REAPER 51 | Tholozor VFA-136 (c.2007): https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3305981/ Arleigh Burke Destroyer Pack (2020): https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3313752/
