[Bug] Possible flood mode bug.

[CrazyGman]

Trying to get nose aspect using flood mode to work I came across this odd behavior which doesn't make sense to me. If in the parameters shown in the video at low alt with a high speed closing target I keep the aspect knob set on nose the aim-7 won't track anywhere inside 4nm. If i run the scenario again this time in fwd aspect mode the aim-7 still won't track. However if i run it again but this time once they are within 4nm I quickly switch from nose to fwd aspect and then fire withen 2-3 seconds, the missile will always track, and also if I switch from fwd to nose and fire within 2-3 seconds the missile will always track. I'm not sure if this is a bug but i don't understand why the missile won't track in one mode or the other, but will right after the mode has been switched within a few seconds

Holy cow, this might explain why mine never guide either.

I'll try this workaround.

Personally, I think this is a bug. Unless I'm missing another nuance, the Sparrows should guide. I'll check if toggling the CW switch works as well, as maybe there's an issue with air spawns.

EDIT: toggling CW off then on did not work.

I had the same issue as OP but I have even less success - only 3 of maybe 24 missiles fired though perhaps I'm not keeping the target close enough to boresight as needed. Please see attached track.

Hey, you guys are correct, this appears to be a bug in the doppler gate setting.
