dezzled Posted November 7, 2020 Posted November 7, 2020 As title says, here's what i tried to do : - Hand-off Maverick through TGP (in PRE - AUTO). - Verify that Maverick has a solid lock. - Change weapon station if solid lock. Expected behaviour : - Maverick keeps lock of the target, while trying to hand-off the other Maverick. Track file : - It is currently impossible to ripple at 2 locked targets while having an inventory of 2+ Mavericks. - When changing the weapon station, the Maverick doesn't keep lock, and cages itself its to locked position. - Can confirm on HUD, MAV symbology goes up then disappear.

dezzled Posted November 7, 2020 Author Posted November 7, 2020 (edited) https://forums.eagle.ru/forum/english/digital-combat-simulator/dcs-f-16c-viper/7130536-unable-to-ripple-while-having-2-mavericks One thing to note multi locks only work with single missiles, I've had no luck getting them to work from multi racks when you step to the next station the first station forgets the lock so you can only fire single missiles from one pylon. No idea if this is intentional or still WIP i'm assuming WIP Yes, i followed this procedure, however if you carry 4 or 6 Mavericks, the target after MSL STEP will just unlock, as the track shows. It also seems that I'm not the only one experiencing this kind of issue. Edited November 7, 2020 by dezzled added link
breakneckPace Posted November 8, 2020 Posted November 8, 2020 (edited) Posting so I can remember to come back and find the answer too. I've been playing around with the mav's a bit since the latest update (early Nov). I've tried a few different configurations, both with multiple mavericks and single mavericks on each pilon. So far I've had no luck getting the ripple fire to work. like the OP said, it seems like the first maverick I have on target, forgets that target once I switch to the other pilon to lock on with the second Maverick. I'm going to keep playing, but so far I haven't had any luck rippling 2 mavericks off. quick edit: just tried it again and had success. what I did to make it work, with might or might not been in the GR video (I can't remember) I needed to have the T-Pod in Manual Handoff (I had it in Auto before when it wouldn't work). have TPOD SOI, find target, TMS up to get the Maverick to slew to the same spot, switch to WPN SOI, TMS up to lock on to target. Switch to other station, repeat for second Maverick. then fire away! Edited November 8, 2020 by breakneckPace updated attempt with success notes
Frederf Posted November 8, 2020 Posted November 8, 2020 This is a bug and there is more to it. Simultaneously tracking missiles is currently limited in DCS to handed off missiles only. Currently it is impossible to have two Maverick simultaneously tracking unless those tracks were made using automatic handoff. Even if only two missiles are carried it is currently impossible to have simultaneous tracks unless TGP is used. Another issue is that missile step button should only step through Maverick-carrying stations and not missiles. This means that if 4 missiles are carried 3A, 3B, 7A, 7B where "A" is the priority missile on each LAU-88, pressing MSL STEP should only toggle selection of 3A and 7A. Currently in DCS the missile step button is stepping through missiles 3A 7A 3B 7B, etc. But that doesn't seem to be causing the issue, the tracks being so tied automatic handoff is.
