jcagle Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Hello, I am trying to better understand how to setup a bearing search mode for the RB 15F. - From my understanding, the Bearing search occurs along the vector made from Bx7 to Bx8, after the turn from Bx6 to Bx7 has been completed. Here is the Setting I've Tried Bearing Preset VALB - TAKT IN - 800004 - LS - AKT POS UT The test I have been running is a five ship formation, trying to strike a central/embedded target. However, when I try the settings above, the missile locks the first ship it sweeps across (at the edge of the formation) as it turns from Bx6 to Bx7. Am I not understanding bearing search correctly, or bungling the input? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RagnarDa Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 RB 15F | Bearing Mode Bearing search selects the first target that the missile detects iirc There is another mode to select the target closest to Bx8 DCS AJS37 HACKERMAN There will always be bugs. If everything is a priority nothing is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcagle Posted January 28, 2020 Author Share Posted January 28, 2020 That description sounds like a 'Close' search mode. This is from the manual Page 333 AREA search Used when the target position (ATP) is known. The missile will search within an area near the ATP. Size of the area can be pre-set via the addressed data in four categories, precision, small, medium and large. Search altitude of the missile is dependent on the set area size. If the distance to the ATP is less than 2 km, mode CLOSE is automatically engaged. BEARING Used when only the bearing to target is known. Radar will sweep in an increasing arc from a narrow search up to ±35°. Search range is about 6- 24 km. Search altitude is always 30 metres. CLOSE Similar to BEARING, but with reduced range (2- 20km). Seeker will lock on the first detected target. ------------- Page 334 Target selection Single target The missile will lock the target closest to the ATP in mode AREA. If in mode BEARING the target closest to the search centreline is selected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RagnarDa Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Ah you are right. Checked the docs and the code and should be closest to middle of scan cone and checked the code where it was closest to the missile instead. Changed it now and if it passes all tests it will be in some coming patch (unlikely the next one though). DCS AJS37 HACKERMAN There will always be bugs. If everything is a priority nothing is.
