[LATER IN EARLY ACCESS] Fast Acquisition via AACQ

[No.401_Speed]

Previously I was able to acquire DT2 or a third/fourth trackfile while in RWS by placing the TDC cursor over the HAFU in the Attk Rdr and then execute fast acquisition via moving the SCS toward the Attk Rdr display to activate AACQ.

 

I ran more than a dozen tests this week in one versus four/two scenarios using the MiG-29s and after firing an AMRAAM at the lead aircraft as my L&S target, that target would be undesignated, the TDC cursor would be placed over the DT2 and AACQ would be activated to initiate fast acquisition. In virtually every case, the radar would reacquire my original L&S target and all subsequent AMRAAM would guide on the lead aircraft.

 

I also tested bump acquisition with a L&S target acquired into STT via AACQ, and by pushing the SCS forward, bump acquisition was not activated but moved into ACM mode as it would normally when not in STT.

 

Is this something that can be fixed?

AACQ is currently bugged and incomplete - WIP. The bugged behavior you can expect right now is the radar locking the first thing it finds on a left to right sweep regardless of TDC position.

Roger,

 

Thanks for the update. Manual mode still works fine for this purpose so we'll use that until further refinements are made to the other modes.

 

Cheers
