Realistic Mav boresight an option

[jonsky7]

Would like to have the realistic aligning of the Mav seeker to the TGP (boresighting) an option, so when set to off, the Mavs are always aligned to the TGP like every other plane in DCS.

 

Thanks

Game mode is what you are looking for i guess.

 

Not really, no

I'm thinking he is looking for something for the B/S of the Mavericks, similar to how the Hornet has the ability to have 'realistic TDC slew' or 'unrealistic TDC slew.'

 

Not like the OP is looking for unlimited ammo, invulnerable airframe, or other things that you often find on a console game. It's the wish list section, don't come in on a high horse and put people down for having a valid wish list suggestion. After all, this is the wish list section. Just reading through several of your recent posts, it is fairly obvious that you like to comment on threads/posts that you could quite easily just stay silent to, or actually try to see it from another's perspective. Be better. Break the trend.

 

 

To the OP, seems like a suggestion that more than a few people might want - just not sure how easy or difficult an option like that would be for ED to create a code / option for. Fair question/suggestion either way.

I'd prefer we all stay on the same page. You pick a weapon, you have to deal with its quirks.

If someone really hates boresighting it can be done on the ground (although I'm not sure it's supposed to work with weight on wheels, so this might change). Rearm before starting up the aircraft, power the MAVs as soon as possible and do it while the INS is still aligning.

 

And yes, I'd appreciate if all aircraft needed to do this.

I only asked because it doesnt work for me the way I assume it is intended.

 

If I carry more than 1 mav on each station then the first one on each station I can boresight and it's fine but you can't individually align all 4 or 6.

 

It either goes wrong, or I'm doing something wrong because after the first mav of each station is fired, subsequent mavs aren't aligned or are becoming mis-aligned.

 

Its fine boresighting on route to target, but there's no point in trying to align the others when you've already rolled in.

I'd actually prefer if the boresighting feature was added to all other aircraft, where applicable. I understand that it may feel like a frustrating and unnecessary step to some, but I'd prefer to keep it non-optional for everyone, at least as an MP server option, so everyone experiences the same thing online. I don't personally support shortcuts, but I understand where these requests are coming from and I'm OK with such things being used in SP and on private servers.

 

As for the OP's issue, boresighting should be required once per pylon. So if it only works for the first missile on each pylon, it's a bug. Or maybe just ED's way of saying that you shouldn't use more than one missile per pylon, lol.

Love how you've been stalking me just so you can do some kitchen psychology and tell me what i can say and what i can not say. At some point maybe you'll get the concept of "people having opinions and the right to express them", especially when they are contrary to what your opinion is. It's not that bad after all, promised. Cheers 07

 

Not stalking, have read a few threads that you have "chimed in" and it's not typically in a helpful fashion - more the opposite. Didn't tell you what you can or can't say - was just clarifying that you are more of the "typical internet person" who says things in a manner that would probably not get you a fair treatment "face to face." People all have opinions, just like other things - you know how the saying goes I think. Further proves the point. Also, not sure what you "promised" - seems out of context. I do like the new forum feature though, adios.

 

Nice of you to comment on a potential issue with the B/S functionality of a pylon though, well done.

 

 

Cheers,

The real Viper can step between individual Mavs on a TER, I think there's a button on the MFD that does that. That said, I have no idea whether it's already implemented in DCS.

So why can't the server host decide whether that option is available or not, like whether or not external views are accessible. I play on a PVE server mostly, so how I want to play has extremely little to no effect on how you want to play.

I literally said that I'd be OK with it being a server option that the host can select. Something like "Enforce realistic procedures and loadouts". Ideally this would cover stuff like the one discussed here and things like more than one Maverick per pylon or HARMs on the inner stations etc.
