[LATER IN EARLY ACCESS] Is jhmcs finished?

[kaoqumba]

Hi! What I want to know is whether jhmcs has been completed? Heard that it can be used for air to ground attack, can mark the ground, and then move the sensor focus to the mark point?

I think it's not implement still. Only A-A with 9X is working now.

Likely is waiting the A-G radar and some other A-G functions.

 

But possibility is that it will come before A-G radar as it is just one way to generate Mark point.

Far from being finished if you ask me... I remember having heard it would be able to display contacts from D/L in 3D space, basically similarly to having labels on. That would boost up SA by lots.

absolutely! hope this gets real in DCS!

It also needs the alignment mode/fine alignment mode completed for cold starts. Auto brightness needs to be implemented. So yeah it still needs some work.

Umm so it's not going to be like scorpion or f-35. It won't show all friendly ground units, or everything airborne (much less integrate look through sensor, IRST, and everything else the $500k 35 helmet will do).

 

It does some cool shit, however.

 

Right now we have HOBS, which allows aim9x to be employed slaving the seeker head to the DAC. HAQC will function similarly for radar acquisition eventually.

 

If an L&S exists, a TD box will display relative position of target. Depending on settings, Vc, Range, TOF of missiles, NIRD circle as in hud (Showing Rmax, Rne, Rmin, etc). Very useful is a verticor off the NIRD showing aspect. It will show and x for DT2, just as in the HUD.

 

In AG MM, a diamond will display TGT location. If TGT is not in FOV, an arrow will display its direction. DAC can be used to slew TPOD or other sensors but is not sufficiently accurate for release consent. Just a quick way to get close to a vidsual target.

 

Among its biggest benefits we already have. With no seat of the pants sensor, in BFM its nice to see airspeed and AoA. IRL may pilots will blank it to maintain tally, but for us in the sim its a different animal. In BVR it is more useful. Aspect, Vc and Range for targets with ATA outside HUD while keeping head up is great, useful for planning intercepts, hitting lat sep number, getting your turns right, are all excellent SA improvements. As are target locator lines in AG and the like.

 

Again though, its not going to light up everything in the sky (or on the ground). Best to think of it as an extension of the HUD, as that is precisely what it is.

It's doesn't require the F-35 helmet as you describe. Matter of fact, much of the stuff, to a bit less fidelity, you are listing already exists on Gen 4 HMDs. In many aspects the old stuff is well ahead of the new stuff in terms of active implementation into the aircraft. With that being said, much of it came later than the suites ED tend to model, but it's not reliant on the hardware that you are describing.

Were talking Charlie’s here as you point out. I referenced the 35’s helmet as it’s so well known, and most everyone has seen vids, etc. But even the most modernized gen 4 doesn’t come close to replicating the functionality of the f-35’s. Never mind the whole “look through the plane” thing, it marks contacts from radar obviously, and MADL, but DAS is exceptional at picking up aircraft, missiles, ground fire, launch points, etc. The integrated night vision is massively better than any goggle based solution (green glow issues notwithstanding). Though there’s talk I don’t think any gen 4s have 3D audio integrated into self protection systems.

 

Most of my post was about what we should expect to be modeled in the hornet, but looking back it wasn’t totally clear that I was talking about jhmcs circa early 2000s, it was just the first paragraph where I was talking about the 35’s hmds.

Nobody wants F-35s JHCMS. Hornet`s one is pretty useful, its just need to be finished. So have patience. :)

Pretty sure HAQC is modeled, at least in part, already. Hold SCS Up to activate it.

[Swift.]

Yeah if HAQC is an ACM mode with the ability to cue the radar using the helmet, then it is the only thing JHMCS can currently do
