Basilone Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 (edited) By default the maverick feels to easy to aim. Holding DMS fwd doesn't seem to do anything and when I let go of DMS it loses stability. It seems like it is being stabilized by default instead of by HOTAS command and then reverts to normal behavior for a few seconds after you release DMS fwd. Have tested this today on Syria and Caucasus, solo and multiplayer, with both IR and TV mavs and same result. This was in standalone open beta.

It's HOTAS functionality is noted in the manual and even though the key doesn't do anything from what I can tell, you can notice a loss of stabilization when you release it.

Foka Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 They also updated HOTAS table much sooner than they implemented new CMS funcktions. They thought, they'll implement this. They updated manual. Something went wrong and they didn't. It never worked, I've never saw that in patch notes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstonMartinDBS Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Space stabilisation worked already - at least shortly after implementation.

Space stabilisation works - at least in the current OB. Select any MAV and make sure that the MAV page is your SOI. MAV should be in boresight. Move the hog nose around, the MAV HUD indicator stays centered. Then press & hold down DMS fwd to stabilize the MAV seeker. Moving the plane now doesn't move the MAV seeker, because he's stabilized. Uncage the MAV seeker to try again, if the MAV got a valid lock. 13 hours ago, Foka said: It never worked, I've never saw that in patch notes.

Razor18 Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 (edited) Guys, what is the difference between TMS Aft Short = Ground stabilize and DMS FWD Long = Gyro stabilized? (is it another name for Space stabilized anyways?) Trying to guess, ground stabilize stops the seeker head at one point on the ground, but gyro stabilized is doing what?

I haven't tried recently but Aft short, stabilization breaks the moment you move the cursor.

ASAP Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 4 hours ago, Razor18 said: Then the next question is what's the use of it anyways? If anything it looks like the bug is that it looks like the maverick was already space stabilized before holding DMS forward. The behavior after you released it looks normal because it's no longer space stabilized and the missiles not finding anything to lock onto or trying to lock onto the wrong thing. Its purpose is essentially to make it easier on you to slew the seeker onto the target. When you hold space stabilize the maverick seeker head will stabilize on the scene in front of you and not try to lock onto things, or drift around as the aircraft moves. To get the seeker to lock you have to slew onto the target and let go of the DMS switch. If it starts wandering like you had in the video hold DMS forward again and slew the cursor back to the target and try again. https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=A-10+AGM-65&ru=%2fvideos%2fsearch%3fq%3dA-10%20AGM-65%26qs%3dn%26form%3dQBVR%26sp%3d-1%26pq%3da-10%20agm-65%26sc%3d1-11%26sk%3d%26cvid%3d7201233DA38D4116838D2F0F459FF39A&view=detail&mid=1FF10FD3764693BF97471FF10FD3764693BF9747&&FORM=VDRVRV Here's a cool video I found on youtube of an AGM-65G locking onto something. You can see around 25 seconds it looks like he comes out of space stabilize and it wonders around before he restabilizes and drags it back onto the target and gets a lock.

The difference is that ground stabilization is using some kind of pixel magic and the camera focuses on a specific point on the ground visually while space stabilization keeps them stabilized inertially to a point in space that the system calculated. Ground stab is never used by real Hog pilots. Picture the following: the target is masked behind a large mountain. Ground stab would focus on the mountain itself that is blocking the target, space stab focuses on the actual position of the target in space, so esentially it keeps the seeker at the correct point. Kind of like the INR mode of targeting pods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just hopped back in A-10 after many months not flying and its still working same as in the video. Very stable by default, holding DMS fwd doesn't do anything, mav starts to drift on release (and restabilizes itself about a second later).

Make sure the Maverick Seeker is boresighted. Press and hold DMS forward as soon as the Wagon Wheel Symbol is near target area. While holding DMS forward slew the Maverick Seeker; release DMS forward to lock on a target.
