maxTRX Posted April 19, 2021 Posted April 19, 2021 In this short clip I had the bandit locked in STT. I brought the L&S close to the gimbal limit and switched to ACM (bore). Shouldn't L&S be maintained into ACM track? I used WACQ mode to re-acquire the target.
Jak525 Posted April 19, 2021 Posted April 19, 2021 (edited) No, ACM deletes all trackfiles and MSI processing stops while in ACM. You should however be able to return to RWS/TWS while maintaining the L&S. That doesn't work though and is a bug. Related to that, another bug is that when in ACM, the RTS mode is that ACM mode. Rather, it should be the main mode that the ACM mode was entered from. E.g. going TWS > WACQ > STT would show "RTS TWS" in STT and return to TWS upon hitting Undesignate. Only exception is with the gun selected in which case Undesignate will return to GACQ, since RWS/TWS aren't available. Edited April 19, 2021 by Jak525 3
Jak525 Posted April 19, 2021 Posted April 19, 2021 Oh also related. Since MSI stops, all trackfiles should be deleted in ACM, including link 16. Right now you can still see link tracks.
maxTRX Posted April 19, 2021 Author Posted April 19, 2021 (edited) Thanks, I've been kind of winging it for the first couple of days of 2.7, just flying around and discovering things w/o any reference to the Hornet manual (DCS). It would've saved some time if I read it first, especially ATFLIR part but... it was more fun learning it the hard way. The radar logic you described makes sense. The only thing I probably would've 'designed' differently is L&S flow into ACM from any other modes. Even outside of 10nm, pressing 'castle' forward would invoke long range 'bore' that would grab the L&S. Something similar to HMD's LACQ. From there, as you get within 10 or 5nm depending on other ACM modes limits, you'd be able to switch to any other ACM modes. That's APG73 'gripes' edition, lol Edited April 19, 2021 by Gripes323
