Override modes- keeping radar lock from DGFT trough normal to MRM.


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hello peeps. 

I am having a hard time here figuring out whether my memory serves me incorrectly or if I have misunderstood something. 

When locking a target in dogfight override in any of the ACM sub-modes, whenever I reposition the dogfight switch to the middle (off/nav) position, or transition over to MRM mode the lock does not carry over into CRM(RWS/TWS) mode. This applies even if the air to air radar is active in nav mode. 

The reason im asking is that I remember using this method to snap lock someone within visual range, then switching over and being able to carry on prosecuting that contact as a CRM-STT contact or using TMS aft to enter RWS-SAM. 

 

I am not sure if this is behaviour I have seen before in DCS or if it is old F4 knowledge messing with me. Any help would be appreciated 🙂

When we have radar contact the targeted box keep stay's lock even when we switch from A-A master mode into NAV master mode and vice versa.

 

DGFT mode -Switch to A-A master mode-Switch to NAVmaster mode ...the radar targeted box is there.

ED introduced it two updates ago. But it was bugged. It brought the lock over to the other modes but the lock got lost. I reported it. The next update it got even worse.

Even the "no rad" symbology is bugged now. I dont know. As it is work in progress I think ED knows it.

If the behavior above and the DGFT "no rad" symbology ( no rad and boresight cross shown simultaneosly) are not fixed the next update I will consider reporting the changed behavior again.

 

Btw.: Thanks for the great video link!

There is a bug report on the issue though (for the current build), and it is also reported that the lock gets dropped during emergency jettison.
Hoping for the next update to finally bring some improvements on this and the flight model, because these keep disturbing the fun with the module.
