SpaceMonkey037 Posted May 14, 2020 Posted May 14, 2020 When selecting dogfight master mode in the F16 it locks up anything in front of you. The way it should work is that when going into dogfight mode the radar is turned to standby indicated by the NO RAD in the HUD and it will remain in standby until you selective one of the radar lock modes on the TMS. The master modes will also remember who weapons are set up and how the radar is set up, while in DCS currently it always goes into sidewinder in dogfight master mode and AMRAAM in Missile Override master mode. And for A-A master mode it will just keep the selected weapon. In the real jet you would be able to set a specific missile and your plane will remember what missile you set in the different master modes. The different master modes will also remember what mode you set your radar to and what ranges you were last looking at, meaning that if you went into ACM mode on missile override it will stay in ACM the next time you go back into missile override. Currently in-game it will always selects ACM for dogfight mode and CRM for all the other master modes. This is wrong and should be changed.
darkman222 Posted May 14, 2020 Posted May 14, 2020 I think they broke that with the last update. I hope it was already reported. Before it went to NO RAD. I hope they are working on it, as it is really annoying if you want to sneak behind an opponent with a sidewinder and the jet suddenly locks it up. Another strange thing is with the sidewinder and the HMCS. If the sidewinder is boresight on the HMCS and you put the diamond on the enemy it auto locks, or better auto-uncages. Which I am not really sure about if it is realistic. Like I said, I hope it was reported.
SpaceMonkey037 Posted May 14, 2020 Author Posted May 14, 2020 No, sidewinders are not supposed to "Auto-uncage". You have to manually uncage them.
