Rissala Posted March 18, 2024 Posted March 18, 2024 ACM mode has lockon issues when having any angular velocity with respect to the target. STT lock is very slow compared to other aircraft in DCS. The initial "track box" which is created drifts off target before a lock can be achieved. This causes issues in a dogfight. ACM lockon.mp4 ACMlockon.trk
ED Team BIGNEWY Posted March 18, 2024 ED Team Posted March 18, 2024 Hi Rissala, in the track you switch to a very wide ACQ mode. For a much faster lock, you should be in bore or even vert modes. When we test all seems good. vert-test.trk Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

Rissala Posted March 18, 2024 Author Posted March 18, 2024 Here is a more dogfight style example. I wonder if this is related to CPU performance. I am running a 2017 7600K @ 4.4 GHz and 32 GB of RAM. Here the radar attempts to lock on 4 times in vertical ACM scan. ACMdogfight(2).mp4
ED Team BIGNEWY Posted March 18, 2024 ED Team Posted March 18, 2024 Not sure if it is a cpu issue, but you do need to give the radar time to lock, it wont be instant. As mentioned when we test all seems to be working is it should. thank you Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

Rissala Posted March 20, 2024 Author Posted March 20, 2024 Hi, The transition to STT in these modes should be pretty much instant when the scan sees the target (this is a subjective statement, but read this as comparable to F16 etc). Many updates ago, the ACM was very snappy and comparable to other modules in DCS, and I did not see this "track box" drifting off target at all before STT. Some of the examples I posted here are a bit extreme, but in the first video, the second to last example (at 0:15) has me dragging the boresight circle at just under 2g over the target and failing to lock it since the track box moves away with the aircraft.

It is pretty much your call to where you want to go from here. Thanks.

Thanks. Hi, I am sorry but we do not agree, but if you have evidence please feel free to PM me thank you Forum rules - DCS Crashing?
