josef Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Hi bros Sometimes after doing BVR or dogfight, I can select my A-A missiles (SW/SP/PH), I can hear the Aim-9 beeping but there is no moving diamond after I select VSL Hi/Lo or PAL. I see that this issue has been mentioned before, but no useful response. Is there something the Jester or I need to do? Thks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eatthis Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 is the hud in air to air mode? the pdcp panel on the right hand side 7700k @5ghz, 32gb 3200mhz ram, 2080ti, nvme drives, valve index vr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelshZeCorgi Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 (edited) hud needs to be in Air to air mode. in any other mode, weapon selection label, diamond and cross symbology never appears. Same with any hud symbology discrepancy. No bomb fall line or target cross for bombs or rockets? Must not be on air to ground mode. No velocity vector, AOA? Hud not on landing mode.

Naquaii Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 The HUD in the F-14 can only show one diamond and one reticle, if you're in a mode that uses those for other things there will be no indication for the ACM-lock modes. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragon1-1 Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 The diamond indicates the seeker head position with AIM-9 selected, and while the radar functionality is still there, the HUD won't indicate what the radar is doing. To get the diamond, select either Sparrow or Phoenix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarK_FeneR996 Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Yesterday (24/Gen/2023) I got to teach how to use the PAL, VSL and other: I report as this guy did, the diamond got missing. When trying to use PAL it was able to lock, even without that diamond showing up. I fly the F14 by 3 years and I was in A/A mode. He's not wrong when he says that diamond was missing. The problem was gone when that other guy in F14 left the server. Idk why. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nealius Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 I frequently have diamond issues with these modes as well. I'll have to go back to identify which specifically, but in one or two modes the diamonds never appear, in one mode the diamond appears, moves vertically up, then immediately disappears forever, and in....whichever scans horizontally it works as advertised. Previously I recall the diamond appearing and scanning in almost all modes, without vanishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VSL Low and PAL you should be able to see the diamond going across the HUD when you’ve selected an applicable HUD mode and weapon (for example A/A HUD mode and not guns selected). VSL Hi scans super high so it’s not shown in the HUD since its scan volume is beyond the limits of the HUD. 3 -Tinkerer, Certified F-14 and AIM-54 Nut | Discord: @dsplayer Setup: i7-8700k, GTX 1080 Ti, 32GB 3066Mhz, Lots of Storage, Saitek/Logitech X56 HOTAS, TrackIR + TrackClipPro Modules: F-14, F/A-18, JF-17, F-16C, Mirage 2000C, FC3, F-5E, Mi-24P, AJS-37, AV-8B, A-10C II, AH-64D, MiG-21bis, F-86F, MiG-19P, P-51D, Mirage F1, L-39, C-101, SA342M, Ka-50 III, Supercarrier, F-15E Maps: Caucasus, Marianas, South Atlantic, Persian Gulf, Syria, Nevada Mods I've Made: F-14 Factory Clean Cockpit Mod | Modern F-14 Weapons Mod | Iranian F-14 Weapons Pack | F-14B Nozzle Percentage Mod + Label Fix | AIM-23 Hawk Mod for F-14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nealius Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 VSL Hi must be the one I thought wasn't working right, then. I could have sworn there was one mode where the diamond scanned vertically across the windscreen without going outside HUD limits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is PAL (Pilot Automatic Lockon) it got range 15nm. VSL (Vertical scan lock), range 5nm, as name suggests scans up and down, not horizontally.
