Solution Tholozor Posted August 22, 2023 Solution Posted August 22, 2023 (edited) Looks like you hit the gimbal roll limit. The pod's seeker gimbal can only rotate in each direction so many times, which is a common occurrence if the pod has to switch back and forth in pitch across the waterline (ends up rotating in the same direction with each pass). Setting the pod to standby cages the seeker and nulls the roll back to 0 (you can also accomplish this by toggling VVSLV).

Doesn't matter if you don't slew the pod, the seeker head still has to move to keep itself oriented as you move around. As long as your aircraft is in motion, so is the gimbal if it's trying to look at a fixed point.

ED Team Lord Vader Posted August 23, 2023 ED Team Posted August 23, 2023 Hey @Lekaa Like @Tholozor said, this does seem to be a gimbal limit situation. It doesn't look like an error. However if you have public information to support the idea this is a bug, feel free to send it via DM to @BIGNEWY. Esquadra 701 - DCS Portugal - Discord
