3000 Black Jets of Allah Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 With the introduction of the new 2.8 patch the Mirage F1 received proper ranging information on the HUD. My question is whether this actually works for anyone else? The only time the ranging is displayed is if I'm in 300m or 600m gun mode and that's it, the tape always displays 0. I've tried with 530s, sidewinders, and 550s and nothing. They also seem to have removed the orange box that appears around the target you have locked on your HUD, is that the case for anyone else?

Morskoul Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 I had this problem if I start from cold (I only tried gun, no missile) starting from ground cold, but it seems to work (again only with guns, no missile) starting a mission already in flight. I did not spend more time on it yet, but I wonder if there would be a command to do in the cockpit I forgot. Did you try both from cold start and already initialized in flight?

Yeah I've tried single player missions and multiplayer both cold start and start in air and no dice unfortunately. In all honesty I don't mind not having the range stuff but the lack of a HUD symbol for what you have locked is really bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morskoul Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 On my side, I have checked twice : - If radar is in stby, I can lock a bandit but no symbology on the sight (fixed reticle and no yellow square on the bandit) - If radar is on, I can lock and have the gun reticle that use radar telemetry to help aiming (and the yellow square on the bandit) The radar should not emit in stby so we should not be able to lock at all. Despite that I also lost the gun reticle at one time and have to switch to magic+gun mode to recover it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution 3000 Black Jets of Allah Posted October 29, 2022 Author Solution Share Posted October 29, 2022 Really strange, tried another mission and everything was working, got range data for the 530 and had a box around the locked aircraft again. Maybe 10th time was the charm lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnomechild Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Apparently this happens if you flick the radar into standby instead of on. The standby mode is currently not implemented and works (mostly apparently) the same as On for A/A modes. But some people are reporting not seeing a box. Always click it twice to the full on position 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
