Caldera Posted October 10, 2023 Posted October 10, 2023 (edited) Hey all, I notice that occasionally the "Yaw Limit" will appear and the missiles are not actually Yaw Limited. Any one else? Bug or working as intended? Caldera Edited October 10, 2023 by Caldera
NeedzWD40 Posted October 10, 2023 Posted October 10, 2023 Yaw limit is a performance inhibit, not a safety one. So it might work fine in most use cases, but it might also miss or have degraded performance.
Caldera Posted October 10, 2023 Author Posted October 10, 2023 Thanks Needz! That is good to know, but how about the times when the missile will not fire and "Yaw Limit" is displayed. If I re-position so that the target is closer to center line, then the missile will fire. What is the difference? Thanks in advance, Caldera
NeedzWD40 Posted October 10, 2023 Posted October 10, 2023 Without knowing more about the situation, it could be a bug (ie, sometimes I will be "too low" and a missile simply won't shoot until I go higher, even with no inhibits), or it could be the message is not displaying correctly (you might actually be out of seeker limits but it still displays yaw limit; most noticeable with the gun where you get azimuth limit when it's actually elevation limit). Normally, >20 degrees off boresight will get you a yaw limit message in LOAL mode, but if it shifts to LOBL then you will get seeker limits. Technically speaking, both are performance inhibits that can be overridden by the second stage trigger press, but as noted sometimes it gets confused and won't shoot.
