Vekkinho Posted April 14, 2009 Posted April 14, 2009 I'm in the process of creating a profile for TM Cougar and I noticed some things I'm not clear with. OK, the questions are: 1) In case I've already locked the target but I've changed my mind and I wish to unlock it so what's the difference between pressing Ctrl+Tab = unlock target and pressing Tab once again. Result's the same?! 2) Cycle thru targets in MFD in AWACS mode?! It's default keycommand is: ~ (Grave). It never seemed to work here with me, I use realistic radar not easy! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Boberro Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 1 - isn't unlock TAB (ctrl-tab) for F15 TWS mode? In RU planes it is TAB enough, in F15's TWS it is not enough to unlock. I rarely fly F15 but maybe it is this :) 2 - I heard that but never used, I am a bit curious about this. 1 Reminder: Fighter pilots make movies. Bomber pilots make...

Case Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 I'm in the process of creating a profile for TM Cougar and I noticed some things I'm not clear with. OK, the questions are: 1) In case I've already locked the target but I've changed my mind and I wish to unlock it so what's the difference between pressing Ctrl+Tab = unlock target and pressing Tab once again. Result's the same?! 2) Cycle thru targets in MFD in AWACS mode?! It's default keycommand is: ~ (Grave). It never seemed to work here with me, I use realistic radar not easy! For unlocking I just use TAB again. I think I even have it this way in my Cougar profile. Concerning the cycling through targets, I never heard of it. It used to work this way in Flanker 1.5, but I haven't seen it work in the Russian planes in Lock On. There are only 10 types of people in the world: Those who understand binary, and those who don't.
Vekkinho Posted April 15, 2009 Author Posted April 15, 2009 Trouble is, I never flew anything besides MiG-29, few weeks ago I started flying Su-27 with 51st PVO but to be honest I spent no secs with Eagle or Hog! Yeah, that's strange both keycommands are listed in "docs" folder but I see no diff between TAB and Ctrl+TAB with Russian birds which is good as same button (command) locks and unlocks so I'll have some free buttons in Foxy for something else. Same goes with cycle thru tgts, it never worked but again I'm not sure if that's pretty realistic anyway! Thanks guys! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
PoleCat Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 Just as Boberro states I think both of these keystrokes are set like this because of the F-15. In TWS mode if you use the lock button twice in a row on the same bugged target your radar mode will switch to LRS and lock the target in STT mode and the bandit will be warned when you lock. So the unlock key is needed instead if you decide to choose another target in TWS. Maybe? Out 1 http://www.104thphoenix.com/
