Floyd1212 Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 We get the same thing in MP with humans in both seats. Under some conditions the TOF just isn’t there, then a few minutes later it’s back. This is with the CPG firing all the missiles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admiki Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 If you are over 9000m you will not get countdown. Not sure if it's a bug or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hotrod525 Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 *I think* the Hellfire are bug, well, may be not the missile but the logic behind. I had the same issue as you folks, no countdown and hit and on top of that, i had weird acting missiles lately. EG : I shoot within limits, in HI mode with proper ACQ and LOBL, instead of going 600' (IIRC) the missile was ground skiming doing some weird popup oscillation till they hit something... Or simply get lost. The "i think" part come from the weather, caucase winter, heavysnow with a small wind of few knots, it might have being enought to throw my hellfire off course i dont know. I'm not providing a track yet since i figured that on a few hours long flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scaley Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 We see this all the time in multi-player - often the TOF countdown just isn't displayed. Not sure if it's reported since to show it properly you'd need 2 trackfiles and a screen recording. 476th vFighter Group Main Page -- YouTube -- Discord Scaley AV YouTube - More videos from the 476th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranging or Designate Not sure who this is addressed to, but it happens with the designation (2nd) detent held down for self-designate shots, and it also sometimes happens for remote shots with no designation. Either way whether or not the laser is firing shouldn't affect whether the countdown timer appears when you shoot a hellfire. 476th vFighter Group Main Page -- YouTube -- Discord Scaley AV YouTube - More videos from the 476th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are shooting for someone else, computer has no idea how far target is and how long it will take to hit it. That's why there are tables for calculating TOF.

There are more ranging sources than laser though. I'd imagine it would give the TOF until the current ranging whether or not that's where the missile is actually going. 476th Discord | 476th Website | Swift Youtube Ryzen 5800x, RTX 4070ti, 64GB, Quest 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, if you’re buddy lasing you’d ideally have a target store at the targets location. When this point is set as ACQ Source, it provides a NAV range that is used for TOF calculations. Works pretty well in the sim. This can of course mean that the TOF counter can be misleading if you’re shooting a MSL at a illuminated target somewhat displaced from the selected NAV Acq source (or any last entered range).

If you are employing in LOAL you should have a NAV range up, which should drive a countdown timer. If you engage without an alternate range, and with remote designation, then you're correct there is no range (as always, caveat, DCS not IRL). 476th vFighter Group Main Page -- YouTube -- Discord Scaley AV YouTube - More videos from the 476th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
