ACM - Vertical scan: Can't get a lock.. radar looking elsewhere instead of middle

[TheCabal]

Hello folks,

 

recently I tried to get aquainted with the ACM mode of the Hornet. All works perfectly except of the Vertical scan.

 

My radar instead of sweeping the short middle part to my LOS in vertical scan... seems to completely stay at the right side as shown on my right DDI, sometimes at the rightmost gimbalmax and stays there... while I'm not able to get a lock on a target right in front of me. I thought maybe to hit the designate button but that throws me into another mode. I don't understand what happens...

 

(Using the CTS profile-script tool for my HOTAS Cougar).

 

Greetings,

Cabal

Can you use your TDC slew cursor and move it to the left (hopefully slaving the field of view)? I hadn’t noticed this issue; but I HAD noticed that I can’t ever lock a dang thing in vertical scan

Hi!

 

I'm not able to move the TDC while in vertical... I tried getting it centered. I created a mission to test this out and it worked perfectly... in the BFM MiG-29A mission it didn't.

there was a bug with radar elevation setting in RWS/TWS influencing horizontal movement of the radar in ACM modes.

 

not sure if it was fixed.

Ah thx for mentioning! Glad to hear that :) Most times it worked normally. I'm excited about the difference to the F-16C... didn't knew about lots of stuff reg. the Hornet.
