FMBluecher Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 What exactly are you doing? Both boresight modes have achieved locks for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Tau Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Same for me, never works. I use also the gun/magic selector button. but even without that 1 Tau's Youtube channel Twitch channel https://www.twitch.tv/the0tau Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hez Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 So, to be clear, TEL mode works great. BZ mode doesn't work for me. It shows it has entered the mode on the radar, but it never does anything. Manual locking "Lock-On" also works fine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSplayer Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 For me TEL works but never at 7nm. It always takes until like 3nm for a head on lock even though it should automatically lock a target a max of 7nm. 2 -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...
rep3t3 Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 I am having issues using it as well sometimes I get radar noise and it works and sometimes my radar has no noise and I cant lock anything 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyron Posted July 25, 2022 Author Share Posted July 25, 2022 (edited) Sorry for the late reply, i just load an instant action missile practice - or intercept mission (in witch Aircraft is already on air ) i can lock with TDC, but no matter how close i go <7 miles (even <1 mile) i change to boresight - TEL or BPZ , (i can see the change in my radar scope), then i place the enemy aircraft inside HUD and nothing happens ever, either upper HUD either in center HUD. i have tried this many times, in various sorties.

ataribaby Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 How you guys enter those dogfight modes? I can only select TL and then radar screen is empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skyron Posted July 28, 2022 Author Share Posted July 28, 2022 *Update - When changing to Boresights , no noise is shown in vertical lines (check above picture) that's why, I cant get a lock. Am i doing something wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rep3t3 Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 I have yet to get boresight to work once, I have been able to get TEL working however. Boresight for me shows no radar noise but TEL does and works 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baco Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 I think BZ is not yet working. Redkite only talks about TEL. but havent tryed yet... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyron Posted July 28, 2022 Author Share Posted July 28, 2022 TEL isn't working either for me - never worked. I Can see Redkite's video with noice when in Boresight (check 8.53) - Tho i still cant see noise when entering boresight mode (Check Pic Above). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ataribaby Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 I get noise on boresight modes when I first command Telemeter/zone scanning switch - CENTER then Telemeter/zone scanning switch - TEL then optionally Telemeter/zone scanning switch - BPZ Only this exact sequence gives me noise. I think it is bug 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IvanK Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Same seems 3.8nm lock in TEL versus IL76. Couldnt lock in BPZ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex854Warrior Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 I'm fairly sure dogfighting modes do not reset elevation difference/tilt/whatever they actually do as it's extremely poorly worded in the manual thanks to google translate. In my testing, locks were impossible if the elevation control was not near or at +00. Something is seriously wrong. 1 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erlkönig Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 I have also occasionally no radar noise in TEL mode, it solves for me if I switch back to normal mode and then back to boresight mode, several times. As soon as the noise is there, it locks on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Althar93 Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 (edited) Same issue for me, I have to switch back and forth several times for the TEL mode to work : same observation as other people, if there is radar noise then it picks up contacts fine, otherwise it does not. I have also seen the radar scope be broken when switching back out of either TEL/BPZ modes, whereby the noise will only render to a small narrow band (as if still in the TEL mode), but with the sweep going left to right on the full width of the scope. [EDIT] : The issue with TEL seems to happen if you switch directly from BPZ to TEL, rather than from the normal mode. TEL mode not working below Edited July 31, 2022 by Althar93 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysteriousHonza Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 They do work, you have to go from normal HA mode into TL and than BZ, sometimes BZ works, sometimes it doesnt, it seems its just TL as BZ should be slewable. TL is extremely inconsistent , sometimes it locks up instantly, sometimes i cant lock fighter which is hot, cold, beaming or flanking no matter what i do. We seriously need deep through manual from aerges on what cyrano IVM is, how it works, how it filters stuff, how it performs in certain modes and what to use and when and so on. We have no info whatsoever and only things we have are cyrano IV and F1ED weapon delivery manuals with different cyrano models to atleast try to guess how it actually works. 13 hours ago, Althar93 said: Same issue for me, I have to switch back and forth several times for the TEL mode to work : same observation as other people, if there is radar noise then it picks up contacts fine, otherwise it does not.

Well observed, my bad ; what I was trying to demonstrate was the inconsistencies when switching between TL & BZ and got confused in the process. Below is what you get if you switch to TL & then to BZ. Not sure if this is a bug or by design though.

Going bac to TL most likely breaks the thing and you have to repeat HA->TL->BZ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
