jojo Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Actually, I should have said “save parameters on PCA”. Once it’s set on PPA it’s done, it doesn’t change. On PCA you can choose ranging solution (TAS/ RS) rockets options (INT/ EXT) and stuff like that. I posted several times a video of Mirage 2000N at Red Flag. There is a footage though the HUD, you can see that he dives on target from medium altitude in NAV mode, go attack mode, then switch master arm on just before target designation and pull up for release.

DrGarantia Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 4. MAG button on the PCA does NOT select Magic. It performs other functions: enabling the missile and starting MAV search. What MAV search means/do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LastRifleRound Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 That’s a matter of priority. There isn’t a magical wand to fix it all at once :smilewink: Let’s enjoy the good news. Last time I checked code wasn't written with a magic wand. I believe those changes should be prioritzed, that's the whole point. To each their own. I voiced my opinion and I'm not trying to hijack the thread. Carry on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jojo Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 What MAV search means/do? It uses the Magic II as an IRST. Mica IR does the same for Mirage 2000-5 and Rafale. Mirage fanatic !

Zeus67 Posted July 12, 2019 Author Share Posted July 12, 2019 Will MAV Search be implemented ? Eventually "Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning." "The three most dangerous things in the world are a programmer with a soldering iron, a hardware type with a program patch and a user with an idea."

Steph21 Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 (edited) Will this PCA/HUD update include HUD symbology update ? I'm thinking Triangle for a Radar+Magic lock on a target Also PD and RD HUD indicators, but i guess those will be added later on when modes will be functional Edited July 16, 2019 by Steph21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DthFrmAbv Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 I've recently bought the M2000 and the Red Flag campaign. Havn't spent time on them, yet.

jaguara5 Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 (edited) Quick question (possible bug). If 530 is selected and the hotas switch is in PCA, pressing RP on the PCA switches the VTH (only, VTB doesn't have the circle) to POL mode. In this case also, the upper line of the PCA has different symbology than that activated with the respective PCA button. Edit - but if CAN or MAG is selected, weapons can be fired. So it seems than a pseudo POL indication on the VTH. Edited July 17, 2019 by jaguara5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuiGon Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 what is the PIP Hotas? Which button does activate the AG Mode for bomb dropping? Zeus explained it in the original post of this thread: 5. Selecting an AG weapon will NOT set the HUD and aircraft systems to AG ATTACK mode. Only the PCA will enter into AG mode. 6. To set the HUD, actually the entire aircraft systems, into AG ATTACK mode the pilot must click the PIP HOTAS switch forward (it is the same switch that sets the Special Modes when in AA mode). NOTE: An AG weapon must be selected for the aircraft to enter AG ATTACK mode, otherwise AA Special modes will be invoked. 7. With the HUD/Aircraft in AG ATTACK mode, clicking the PIP HOTAS switch back, will save the AG weapon selection and release parameters, return the HUD/aircraft to NAV mode. The PCA will also enter NAV mode. The AG weapon remains selected.

jojo Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 impossible to understand PCA behavior... Sometimes you can select APP, sometimes you cannot. Same thing for the S530 and the tank to drop.... I can toggle APP mode on/ off without problem. Use left mouse click. Sam to select weapons: left mouse click. There is currently a bug, you have to use "PCA select" command to unselect weapons others than MAG/ CAN. So you must use it to unselect 530 while you should exit by clicking it on PCA (or use keyboard short cut/ direct X command). Mirage fanatic !

jojo Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Thanks, but I already read that and still dont get it. Maybe I am just dumb. Still: What is the PIP HOTAS Switch? I cabt see it in the controlls and the whole weapon selcting is acting very strange.Different controls do seamingly the same but actually dont. I am totaly lost. In the control menu it is called, HOTAS category, it's called "Special Modes AFT/ FWD". For AA, nothing has changed. For AG: - select weapon on PCA (left click with mouse as I write) System stays in NAV mode, but PCA top lines now displays AG settings. From there, you can: - Special Modes AFT: return to NAV, AG weapon stays selected on PCA. Or - Special Modes FWD: go into Attack mode (HUD will display attack mode, radar will go TAS if selected). From memory mode you can directly go into attack mode without having to touch the PCA. But there is a small bug currently: TAS doesn't remain selected when you go from "memory mode" to "attack mode". Already reported. Once fixed, you will be able to make PPA and PCA settings before take off, or just after, and then you will just have to go attack mode and master arm on on target area.
