[WIP] Using the Gun on Air-Ground Mode

[Rudel_chw]

Hello,

 

I'm having a small issue with using the Gun on Air to Ground missions, I'm following this procedure:

 

- Master Arm to ARM

- Mode to A-G (on HOTAS)

- Select GUN on SMS

- Click on FEED (on SMS)

 

The Gun works, but I get a crossed-out RDY indicator, both on the HUD:

 

 

... and on the SMS:

 

 

(sorry the tall image, was trying to show the Master Arm position)

 

Does anyone know why the RDY is crossed out?

Thanks,

 

 

Eduardo

I don't know why is crossed out, but it works at least for me

Yes, the gun works .. but this is the type of thing that worries my OCD-self :doh:

 

I'm also now experimenting to see how much a barometric pressure mismatch affects the accuracy of the Gun, and it puzzles me a bit that this detail of CCIP isnt mentioned neither on DEKA's Manual nor on Chuck's Guide :(

Isn't that because you are in AG mode but pointing it in the sky. Is it related to range from target?

No and no .. here I'm near the ground and pointing at it, yet the RDY indicator is crossed out:

 

 

This target is near sea level, now I will try a ground target set higher up, as I want to see if we need to do any correction to compensate for the altitude.

Look at the logs, it used to be barometric only, then it was changed to rely on radar altitude if available, since then it’s always perfect for me

 

EDIT: also uses SPI if available https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=4143811&postcount=3
