Speedbrake Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 (edited) Have the most current update to the beta program. Just got back to playing with the AGM-64D Harpoon and the sea mode radar. On the stores pages once the Harpoons are RDY and the radar is set to SEA Mode, I get "OFF SET" instead of the normal "IN ZONE" on the upper right of the stores page. Then, it won't let me select a different mode for the Harpoon. I went back to look at Matt's videos and also the Grim Reapers videos on Harpoon to see what I may be doing wrong, but neither has updated to using the SEA mode radar with the missile. Is there a bug or am I doing something wrong? I lock a target on the radar, set the search and bearing but the missile seem to "go off-set???? when launched.

Tholozor Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 (edited) Did you have the Harpoons set to BOL or R/BL mode?

LooseSeal Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 1 hour ago, Speedbrake said: I went back to look at Matt's videos and also the Grim Reapers videos on Harpoon to see what I may be doing wrong So I would suggest using something other than Grim Reapers, like the excellent Spudknocker below, but that's just my personal preference. However, it's been a few months since I used Harpoons but... I don't believe there is the connection between the radar and the weapon you seem to be looking for. It doesn't 'guide' the missile like an Aim-120 or anything like that. As Spudknocker demonstrates in that video, it's mostly used to find and identify contacts. But you locking a ship on radar has no impact on the Harpoon, which should be set up on its own terms. - i7-7700k - 32GB DDR4 2400Mhz - GTX 1080 8GB - Installed on SSD - TM Warthog DCS Modules - A-10C; M-2000C; AV8B; F/A-18C; Ka-50; FC-3; UH-1H; F-5E; Mi-8; F-14; Persian Gulf; NTTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedbrake Posted November 5, 2021 Author Share Posted November 5, 2021 Okay, typo...AGM-84D! I was using the sea radar to identify the target and get a bearing so i could set up the harpoon. What was troubling me was why I was getting "off-set" on the stores page vs what I used to get "in zone". once the harpoon was set up. Can anyone explain why the off-set cue?

Tholozor Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 It depends on the mode you have the Harpoon set to and how it's configured. The system will send the OFF-AXIS message if the angle between the aircraft's ground track and missile's desired bearing to either the BOL search bearing, the R/BL target point, or Harpoon Turnpoint (HPTP) is greater than 90°.

Speedbrake Posted November 5, 2021 Author Share Posted November 5, 2021 Thanks, figured out what i did wrong. Had a direct shot but had selected a intermediary waypoint tab along with the bearing setup data without having a waypoint selected. Guess it was using direct north as the point. My bad!
