Razor18 Posted January 28, 2022 Posted January 28, 2022 Hi Guys, it was good news for sure, but what was the original bug? Thanks
Hulkbust44 Posted January 28, 2022 Posted January 28, 2022 Now, if you undesignate with TDC to the Maverick it will not return to boresight and you can now slew it. 1
Hulkbust44 Posted January 28, 2022 Posted January 28, 2022 You meant with NWS, didn't you?Yep, the undesignate switch.
TheCoyoteHunter Posted January 28, 2022 Posted January 28, 2022 its not listed, but did they fix the Aim-9x sound when pushing the selective weapons jettison button? I'm on stable version, was just wondering if they fixed it in OB.

Razor18 Posted January 29, 2022 Author Posted January 29, 2022 Well I tested it, but it doesn't seem ED fixed it. Tried to put down a point with HMD around some vehicles, extended and turned back nose on target. Focus Diamond on the MAV screen, Uncaged Maverick from Caged/Boresight, it locked on to the predesignated point on the ground, but I could not move the seeker head onto the vehicle. Not with depressing TDC btw Realistic TDC behavior was unchecked), but not even by holding the TDC down and slewing. Only after I undesignated the original TGT point could I slew the MAV onto the vehicle. Is it just me? Thanks

ThanksThat's the point, you still need to undesignate but the mav LOS should still be stabilized until slewed. This is the "correct" DCS logic...
Razor18 Posted January 29, 2022 Author Posted January 29, 2022 Oh... so only the "return to Caged" behavior was eliminated after undesignating? Sorry, I might have misunderstood. Thanks for clarifying !
maxTRX Posted January 29, 2022 Posted January 29, 2022 As far as I'm concerned, nothing changed since few updates back. I've been undesignating with TDC on Mav page before this update. Without FLIR, attacking multiple vehicles with MavF's was nuts. It's doable tho'... you have to point the jet's nose so the Mav seeker on HUD is looking at target area. After the first Mav is fired, the following Mavs would at least point at the general area.
Razor18 Posted January 29, 2022 Author Posted January 29, 2022 Ok, so I'm not the only one not seeing any change in this after the last patch? That's what confused me. To be honest I didn't remember Mav ever going back to Caged after undesignating. Max not being ground stabilized maybe? Bad memory, sorry...
ED Team BIGNEWY Posted January 29, 2022 ED Team Posted January 29, 2022 if you think it is still bugged please post a new track replay example and we will take another look, I have tested this and all seems good to me.

Zyll Posted January 29, 2022 Posted January 29, 2022 I believe the change they implemented, is that pressing undesignate while Mav is SOI now allows you to slew the mav seeker from it's original position. Handy when you want to unlock the seeker from what the tpod is looking at. Before, in order to do this, you had to make the tpod SOI, undesignate, go back to the mav seeker, and you could then slew.This is all with respect to the IR mavs

Razor18 Posted January 29, 2022 Author Posted January 29, 2022 (edited) Thank for your reply, BIGNEWY. I don't want to question what you guys doing, because I don't have better source of information than you do. I'm just wondering, if the procedure (after uncaging, MAV locks itself onto a predesignated point, then not being able to slew maverick off of that point without undesignating TGT, and completely "deleting" the point in the process, AND for the next shot you can start all over again by designating, whether the target is moving or not) is a bit "contraproductive" even for us simmers, why would it be benefitial for a real life pilot in battle, who has much more to lose than us chair pilots? I'm just speculating tough... But if anybody knows a more practical way to launch MAVs, I'm happy to hear it... Edited January 29, 2022 by Razor18

Razor18 Posted January 29, 2022 Author Posted January 29, 2022 (edited) If memory serves me some, it works just like that on the A-10C. (Apologies if I'm wrong on this) But probably that's why this Hornet MAV procedure felt weird, for me at least... Edited January 29, 2022 by Razor18
