midnitereaper Posted April 27, 2019 Posted April 27, 2019 Hey all! I am having troubles figuring out how to switch the soi. I am using the warthog throttle and have the same sensor control setup used in the warthog. I have atk rdr on right dvi ew on left and sa on bottom. When just using the sensors without a/a button on but master arm on, I can easily switch between dvi screens and hud. Problem is when I turn on a/a and lock target if I flip the sensor switch I change hud lock to bore site or 2 vertical dashed lines. It seems the only way to get back to using the sensor to flip between dvi is to turn off a/a. Did I map something wrong in my hotas or am I missing a step to switch between controlling the dvi and site modes?
Harker Posted April 27, 2019 Posted April 27, 2019 In AA mode, SCS Forward enters ACM mode and after that, it changes the ACM mode used. You can exit ACM using the Nosewheel Steering button and then you can use it as before. Keep in mind that in AA mode, SCS Right will enter AACQ mode. I have the same setup as you (RDR on the right DDI, SA page on the AMPCD) and it works well. Just keep in mind that SCS Forward will enter ACM and you should be fine.

midnitereaper Posted April 29, 2019 Author Posted April 29, 2019 Thank you for clearing this up for me! I have been practicing in the Nevada aim-7 mission. It provides 6 targets with 2 of them pairs. First off I am having to go into atk rdr and select data and turn off ltws. This was really screwing me up when trying to engage targets. I see it is good at locking multiple targets but once I try to select a weapon it just goes bonkers moving back and forth. Other than that the procedure I used was lock tgt on rdr and close in to at least 8 miles and fire. With the pairs again lock up first tgt and fire then press nosewheel to unlock tgt then scs forward to select acm bore and lock 2nd tgt and fire and then finish with unlock again and another depress of nosewheel to exit acm mode. Am I on the right path here? Another thing I could use advice on is how to always keep ew on the left dvi? Every time I switch between weapons the left dvi will switch to stores.
