I guees HACO is also an ACM mode. And the documentation say: Edited May 29, 2021 by Topper81 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harker Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 SCS Aft with JHMCS knob to on will enter UPLOOK mode. If you want to enter VACQ, you go SCS Left and then Aft.Without JHMCS, you should be able to enter VACQ from any other ACM mode, with SCS Aft. 1 The vCVW-17 is looking for Hornet and Tomcat pilots and RIOs.

Topper81 Posted May 29, 2021 Author Share Posted May 29, 2021 What does uplook mode? It's implemented? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harker Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 What does uplook mode? It's implemented?Yes. It allows the AIM-9X seeker to look up, without the pilot needing to do so. It looks up and left/right, approximately above the left/right edges of the center mirror, depending on whether you're looking left/right. I haven't managed to get much use out of it myself, but others might like it. 1 The vCVW-17 is looking for Hornet and Tomcat pilots and RIOs. Join the vCVW-17 Discord.

Bunny Clark Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 UPLOOK has more utility in a real jet than in DCS. It's purpose is to allow over-the-shoulder aiming of the AIM-9X in a dogfight while allowing the pilot to keep their head in a position that the neck can better deal with G forces. In a game where you can swivel your head any direction without ever needing to worry about G-induced neck injury, there isn't much point. It may be more useful to VR users or people slewing with buttons, but with TrackIR I've not found a use for it. Oil In The Water Hornet Campaign.

Although I also couldn't really make it work, but I'm pretty sure that's on me. A friend of mine who's slewing with a joystick hat found it more useful and he's better at employing as well.
