Adam Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Hi, I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but when I first start off with 9L's I can get a strong signal on a target, then uncage and get a lock tone. (I get the high pitched sine wave tone). Perfect! If during game play I bump the sensor control switch - I'm unable to get a lock and I don't know how to return it. I can get the lower pitcher saw tone - but I don't know how to change the mode back. I'm sorry - I know this is going to be a stupid question - but I've been searching video's for the last 24hrs and I'm obviously missing something simple. I've made a youtube video of what I'm describing available here: Video link For the first 5 seconds I switch between cage and uncage- works perfectly. Then I change the sensor control switch (forward) which locks the target on radar. I can cage and uncage, but I never get that high pitch tone back. I try releasing the radar lock lock and going back to bore sight. No go. I can get the high pitch if I point to the sun - so it's as though it's expecting a hotter target, but I'm in guessing land now. I've asked a couple of mates who also play DCS (we're all relatively new to this) - they say it works for them - so I'm not sure what I have setup different. Can someone please advise what I'm not seeing? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the response - and sorry - you shouldn't need to be logged in. I think I did something wrong with the video. Hopefully I've fixed it now.

Top Jockey Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Thanks for the response - and sorry - you shouldn't need to be logged in. I think I did something wrong with the video. Hopefully I've fixed it now. I'm in the FA/18 I've seen the vídeo now. Can't tell you it isn't a bug; as I've recal something similar also happened to me. Also, you have the "IR cool" switch in the OFF position... try with it at NORMAL or OVERRIDE... Hangar FC3 | F-14A/B | F-16C | F/A-18C | MiG-21bis | Mirage 2000C ... ...

I thought it was just something stupid that I was missing out on, but considering the views in this thread, and the lack of replies - I'm guessing it's not simple after all. :) Interesting to note that you've had something similar happen. I will definitely try changing IR cool and will report back. Thanks once again for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianbaken Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Did you uncage the seeker head? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted June 1, 2020 Author Share Posted June 1, 2020 Did you uncage the seeker head? If you mean by pressing 'C' - yes. I probably should have demo'd better, by placing the target a little further away from the bore sight, but you should be able to see it as I press the cage/uncage a few times jump between the target and caged position - while no tone changes (except at the very beginning when it was working to start with).
