-NMS- Ikaros Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Hello guys. Whenever i lock a target with a missile selected (Aim-120 or Aim-9) my steering dot cue is always at the center of the TD box regardless if enemy's beaming or changing heading. Is there a way to activate the steering dot so i can lead the missiles at the shot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harker Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Yep, it's been bugged for a long while now. At the moment, use your best judgment, that's what I do.

wilbur81 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Further more, it is a little frustrating trying to VID a bandit in the TDbox when the jet is small and the steering dot covers the the jet. I end up turning the HUD brightness down to almost nothing so that I can properly see through the symbology to the world out side... or I lean left or right to look around the hud. i7 8700K @ Stock - Win10 64 - 32 RAM - RTX 3080 12gb OC - 55 inch 4k Display Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvroLanc Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 On a similar note, I’m assuming the in-range indications haven’t yet been updated for the improved AMRAAM kinematics? It’s another thing pending that’s kinda important. When did the AMRAAM get its improvements? A fair while ago now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uri Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Yep, it's been bugged for a long while now. At the moment, use your best judgment, that's what I do. Has it been reported? I did a quick search and didn't find a topic with the [REPORTED] prefix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marauder.exe Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 (edited) This function is still broken. I'm adding a track file in the hopes that this may help identify or resolve the bug. Pages 350, 352, 359, and 361 of the F/A-18C module's manual all depict the proper presentation of the steering dot/cue; and it is repeatedly defined as follows: In conjunction with the ASE circle, the Steering Dot indicates lead angle steering to the locked target. Fly to place the Steering Dot inside the ASE circle to satisfy lead angle computations. This behavior is clearly not being exhibited in the attached track, and the steering dot remains "affixed" to the targeted contact making no corrections to establish a lead angle for either missile type demonstrated.
