fixed HMCS boresight "egg" displacement when looking up

[Croncat]

It seems that the HMCS boresight displaces the egg when you look higher than 30 degrees. But this is not stabilized for the aircraft.

Well Spotted! I guess all radar movement in Dogfight mode should be stabilized to the aircraft and not the horizon like in normal AA mode. Can you record a Track and add it to your post as well as the video?

Hi according to the information we have this is correct.

 

Thanks

[Croncat]

Hi,

 

 

as far as I can tell the displacment happens, so the pilot doesn't have to move his head so far.

 

 

But why would the fact that a displacements happens depend on the absolute position I am looking (up in the sky), while the direction of the displacement is relative to the aircraft?

[antsh]

Right, the displacement is happening to exaggerate the upward movement of the bore cross. It would make sense that it would always happen in the up direction of head movement, and should have nothing to do with the horizon.

 

I’d argue it would be even more important this worked while moving your head up and banked to a high degree like in a turning fight.

Don't understand this either..

[Vatikus]

This is wrong. Simple as that. Dynamic aiming cross is designed to help under high G look up conditions and it should thus work in reference to a/c and not earth horizon.

It shows clearly that dynamic aiming cross is NOT in world coordinates.

So both, F16 and F18 in DCS have this logic wrong.

Yeah it absolutely should be calculated in reference with with aircraft and NOT the world.

Why is this thread tagged [CORRECT AS IS] ?

:huh:

Hi all

 

As mentioned based on information we have for our Blk of viper this is correct. I will show the videos to the team however in the morning.

 

thanks

[Svend_Dellepude]

Please do. It's very confusing to use as it's implemented right now. Rolling the A/C will have the aim cross flying all over the place and it's practically useless.

Hi all

 

I am reporting the Egg reference to aircraft and not ground.

 

thank you

[cofcorpse]

I see your point, but there is some small note. One video is from HAF and the other is from Portuguese AF. Why is it assumed that their equipment work the same way as what we modelled?

 

I understand the confusion and will pay additional attention to this question.

 

Thanks everyone for reporting!

Hi all,

 

The information that we have is the way it is modelled in game for the blk 50 is correct.

 

If you have information it should be another way please PM me

 

thanks

Well there it is.

Then again. Why assume that the JHMCS works in a different way for US than foreign F-16's.

I normally don't argue in these matters, but I find the current implementation very weird indeed.

Can you please try to explain why the dynamic crosshair should work the way it currently does and how it helps the pilot aim during maneuvering? :joystick:

Thank you to all for the information the team is going to adjust this behaviour
