Snappy Posted September 28, 2020 Posted September 28, 2020 (edited) Hi everyone, before I incorrectly flag this as a bug, I wanted to ask for second opinions here. In my understanding the Missile Pylon Selector and the missile selected indication on HUD (G or D) are not working correctly. According to the manual, in Missile Pylon Selector auto mode the missile on the aircraft side which is closer to the locked target should be circled as selected in the HUD. This doesnt happen on my system, neither with Magic nor Super 530D. I placed two targets ahead of me, one at my 10 o'clock and another at my 2 o'clock and I loaded the M2000 with only a pure air2air loadout , i.e. 2 Magic and 2 Super530. With the Super530 , no matter which target I lock, both G and D are circled in the HUD in pylon selector auto mode. Selecting G or D on the Missile Pylon Selector does not manually override this. With the Magic missile selected and the Missile Pylon Selector in Auto , the left missile / G is always selected, even when the target on my right side is locked, again no manual override working. Am I misunderstanding something here or is this buggy? Kind regards, Snappy Edited September 28, 2020 by Snappy
Rayak Posted September 29, 2020 Posted September 29, 2020 About the 530, i remember RB saying that now a circle around G or D means target lock-on by the seeker, I guess you should fire it to see what missile will go ;)
Snappy Posted September 29, 2020 Author Posted September 29, 2020 (edited) Well either way, it would help to figure it out if the manual contained an accurate and up-to -date description how the system should work, so the user can check whether its a bug or or not.Also the Training Missions do not reflect the seeker lock-on logic but the missile selector showing what missile has been selected.

jaguara5 Posted September 30, 2020 Posted September 30, 2020 Have already reported this in the thread about the manual https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=4290762&postcount=28
Snappy Posted September 30, 2020 Author Posted September 30, 2020 Hi Jaguara, ah thank you very much , good to know you reported the manual issue. What about Magic and the Missile pylon selector/HUD indication? Is it buggy then? Kind regards Snappy
jaguara5 Posted September 30, 2020 Posted September 30, 2020 (edited) Hi Snappy! My report was reffered to the manual correction of the double circle indication of both G and D letters According tho the manual (p. 229) : '' 1. MISSILE PYLON SELECTOR. This three position switch is used to control the launch order of the Super 530D missiles. The positions are: ... '' So this switch doesn't affect Mag launch order. (and i really don't know what the launch order logic is). 530D launch order should follow the functionality of the above mentioned switch, that you have already posted Edited September 30, 2020 by jaguara5
Snappy Posted September 30, 2020 Author Posted September 30, 2020 Hi Jaguara, oops , ok got it. Somehow overread the part in the manual that stated it is only applicable to the Super 530D. So just to confirm I understand correectly , with two Super 530D loaded the HUD should always show G and D both circled, but the missile pylon selector switch in left or right position should still select which missile comes off the rail first? Kind regards, Snappy
