jflain Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 Does anyone know if there are some training videos for the cannon as my Flaming Cliffs training in game does not finish properly so not sure i i have all the info. I can activate cannon and tracking radar but can you lock on the the target when near etc to fire cannons.:)
GGTharos Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 Just bring him into the HUD when you wish to fire, and wait for the AUTO-GUNS mode to do its work - it will lock onto your target automatically :) Just keep this in mind ... do NOT put him in the HUD because you want to lock him. Put him in the HUD because you want to FIRE. A basic mistake a lot of people make is trying to keep their bandit in the HUD all the time. This is completely unnecessary ... until you want to fire :D [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda
Vekkinho Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 F-15 Gunso is about the same as any other gunso! Fill the HUD with bandit and press trigger!;) Hi and Low Yo-yo are two basic maneuvers you should use in gunso! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
RedTiger Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 Rather than getting piecemeal tips here and there, I would suggest you start here if your interested in that type of thing: http://www.simhq.com/_air/acc_library.html Specifically "It's All A Matter of Perspective" parts 1 through 5 and "Air To Air Gunnery - Theory And Application" parts 1 through 5. In truth all of the lessons there are useful, but these will give you an excellent foundation. 1

jflain Posted June 18, 2008 Author Posted June 18, 2008 Auto shoot Tried to see if cannons lock on and shoot on their own but they dont. I press button 2 then C for cannon and then I for radar, it brings up the tracking box and when i get close etc does not auto shoot. What am i doing wrong? :music_whistling:

What am i doing wrong? :music_whistling: There is not "auto shoot" function in any aircraft AFAIK. Only auto lock. To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that. Thank you for you patience. Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true..

Put him in the HUD because you want to FIRE. A basic mistake a lot of people make is trying to keep their bandit in the HUD all the time. This is completely unnecessary ... until you want to fire :D This is probably the most important dogfighting tip there is. S = SPARSE(m,n) abbreviates SPARSE([],[],[],m,n,0). This generates the ultimate sparse matrix, an m-by-n all zero matrix. - Matlab help on 'sparse'
GGTharos Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 AUTO-GUNS is an automatic radar mode. It has nothing to do with shooting ... it's about AUTOmatic target search and lock ;) Tried to see if cannons lock on and shoot on their own but they dont. I press button 2 then C for cannon and then I for radar, it brings up the tracking box and when i get close etc does not auto shoot.

jflain Posted June 19, 2008 Author Posted June 19, 2008 Losk on Sorry guys i must be stupid.how do u know when it auto locks that might be my problem.
RedTiger Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 Sorry guys i must be stupid.how do u know when it auto locks that might be my problem. The biggest hint is the fact that the target will have a box around it, just as if you had locked it up manually.
