twistking Posted September 5, 2023 Posted September 5, 2023 (edited) Hello, since one of the last patches, the Mavericks in PRE will NOT slave to the TGP/SPI when MAN (manual handoff) is selected on the TGP screen. Is this correct behaviour? I would assume that AUTO/MAN handoff should only affect the actual handoff and not the slaving. I also don't see the usecase of having PRE Mavs not slaving to the SPI. I don't even know what they're actually doing when TGP is in MAN. Maybe thery are just snowplowing? Why would that be useful? There are the dedicated modes (BORE/VIS) for hip firing and they do come with proper HUD symbology. PRE Mavs with TGP MAN seem bugged... *tested on stable branch* Edited September 5, 2023 by twistking My improved* wishlist after a decade with DCS *now with 17% more wishes compared to the original
twistking Posted September 5, 2023 Author Posted September 5, 2023 Update: Seems to be a bug! Tried again, and Mav in PRE did slave as expected, even in MAN handoff mode. Unfortuantely i don't have a track of the bug. It appeared with the single rail launcher and the large warhead variant of the IR Mav. Mav would not slave, but do some kind of snowplow while in PRE with TGP being active. Changing to AUTO handoff would fix it. Haven't tested if changing back to MAN handoff would break the slewing again. My improved* wishlist after a decade with DCS *now with 17% more wishes compared to the original
Furiz Posted September 5, 2023 Posted September 5, 2023 Hello, I have no problems with Mav, we dont know if you did hot or cold start and is Maverick properly bersighted. Anyway try to reproduce and post a short track.

Anyway try to reproduce and post a short track. It happened on cold start and hot ramp start. Can't be boresight related, since even when not boresighted, MAVs should still slave with the TGP - only with an offset. In fact, the last time i encountered the bug, i was actually trying to boresight. MAVs wouldn't slave to steerpoint either... they would do some kind of weird snowplow... at first i thought it may be user error due to some unannounced changes, therefore i did not save a track. Until now i only encountered the bug with the single rail launcher. I will be on the lookout on how to reproduce. 1 My improved* wishlist after a decade with DCS *now with 17% more wishes compared to the original
