SCPanda Posted September 10, 2020 Posted September 10, 2020 Could ED or someone please explain the correct behavior of the FCR when you have a locked target in AA/MRM mode and then switch to DGFT mode? I saw a post in bug reports but it was labeled as "intended" and unfortunately it is closed. From what I read, most ppl were saying the target should stay locked if you switch to DGFT mode. IDK if this is correct or not. So an explanation of how this should behave realistically would be great!
Frederf Posted September 10, 2020 Posted September 10, 2020 ACM from any other radar mode with a bugged target transitions to ACM-STT. Track files of other targets (if any) will persist for their timeout time and may resume if ACM is left quickly enough.
dundun92 Posted September 10, 2020 Posted September 10, 2020 From the HAF -34: "When ACM is initially selected, the 30 by 20 degree scan pattern is the submode entered, but with the FCR nonradiating. Radiation commences upon selection of one of the scan patterns. The system will lock on to the first target detected and display the target on the MFD. Upon target lock-on, the VMU provides a recorded advisory (LOCK-LOCK) through the pilot’s headset." I couldnt find anything explicitly dealing with going from STT to ACM Eagle Enthusiast, Fresco Fan.

So if MRM lock was beyond 10nm, wouldn’t it lose lock in DGFT mode? Was just playing that other sim.

Frederf Posted September 13, 2020 Posted September 13, 2020 No. The restriction of locking 10nm is artificial design choice (other APG-66/68 family F-16 radar can ACM lock out to 40nm). Even in this version if you ACM STT a target inside 10nm and it then flies outside 10nm lock is retained. RWS-STT to ACM-STT is a transition which is essentially invisible to the pilot.

Artificial design choice IRL or in DCS World?
