jfnelson0127 Posted June 21, 2020 Posted June 21, 2020 Howdy, Love the Tomcat and have really enjoyed learning the front seat systems. One recent frustration has been the gun sight pipper. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason behavior in the HUD after locking a target. The gun cross seems to arbitrarily bounce around, which makes for an incredibly frustrating dogfight experience. Is this a known issue? I don't recall it being a problem before. I feel like I'm pretty up-to-speed in the Tomcat switchology, but admit that there may be something I'm missing. Thanks, JN
Taz1004 Posted June 22, 2020 Posted June 22, 2020 I noticed this too. In a turning fight, I'm leading the gunsight and all of sudden it comes up to almost boresight even tho I was in constant turn. Better Smoke - Better Trees Caucasus - Better Trees Syria - Better Trees Mariana - Clear Canopy Glass

uri_ba Posted June 22, 2020 Posted June 22, 2020 what happens with the diamond? I've noticed that the radar sometimes looses lock while in the dogfight (after PAL lock). when the radar looses lock the system reverts to fixed distance mode for the gunsight (pipper and diamond). when the radar re-aquire the Diamond will go back to sit on the target and the pipper will be correct again.

Victory205 Posted June 22, 2020 Posted June 22, 2020 That's how it works in the real aircraft. The "library" of available symbols was fixed and hardwired into the display, so those symbols had to have different meanings depending upon whether the radar was locked, or what mode the system was in. It could be confusing at times. If you are having difficultly using the AA gun mode, then fill your windscreen with the bogey and pull the trigger. Fly Pretty, anyone can Fly Safe.
