Boberro Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Hey, I liked more this plane in Lo so I decided to fly and attack ships on one server :) My question is how to lock ship by AMG-65K missiles? I know I can't lock it from 5 nm but I couln't do that even from 1 nm ... What's wrong with ship - Maverick lock model? Where is the ship's lock position? Often it is same even with Mavericks D Oo I can say also I wanna lock it from about 20-25 feets. But even from higer alt (few houundred meters I couldn't lock). Any help would be appreciated:pilotfly: Reminder: Fighter pilots make movies. Bomber pilots make... HISTORY! :D | Also to be remembered: FRENCH TANKS HAVE ONE GEAR FORWARD AND FIVE BACKWARD :D ಠ_ಠ ツ
ZoomBoy27 Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Have you widened the gates ? Take a look at the TV seeker screen CTRL-MINUS and CTRL-EQUALS increases the size of the gates. Ships are much bigger than tanks. ZoomBoy My Flight Sims Page - Link to My Blog - Sims and Things - DCS Stuff++ - Up-to-Speed Guides to the old Lockon A10A and Su-25T - Some missions [needs update]
Boberro Posted May 25, 2009 Author Posted May 25, 2009 Do u mean A10? or Su-25T, cos in A10 I can't resize gate. Reminder: Fighter pilots make movies. Bomber pilots make... HISTORY! :D | Also to be remembered: FRENCH TANKS HAVE ONE GEAR FORWARD AND FIVE BACKWARD :D ಠ_ಠ ツ
S77th-konkussion Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 try the D's. Not enough image contrast for the K's to lock on. I know you can lock them thermally. 1 [sIGPIC]http://forums.eagle.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=43337&d=1287169113[/sIGPIC]
Boberro Posted May 28, 2009 Author Posted May 28, 2009 I tried Ds but... rarely work. You know I don't know where is the lock point on the ship. Ds often couldn't lock even from 2 nm. About contrast for Ks... I fly at 12 o'clock, so there is so bright :). I fly at 20 feet and try to lock ship which is really clearly visible, even blind would see it :P Also I tried to fly higher - and it didn't lock even from 500 meters altitude and 1 nm to target.

herig2 Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 I found that around the port at Novorossiysk, my mavs have a hard time locking up, could be a bug. Never thought about it befor. I'll do some testing this weekend. Does anyone else have this trouble ? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Kuky Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 I found that around the port at Novorossiysk, my mavs have a hard time locking up, could be a bug. Never thought about it befor. I'll do some testing this weekend. Does anyone else have this trouble ? yes, this is a bug... just west of the base there is an area of maybe 1 square km where you can't lock anything. About locking onto a ship... sure can be done but in this regard game is also bit buggy as sometimes I experienced that I can lock same ship with one missile (and I fired at it) but couldn't with second. I think lighting plays a role and certain angles (relation of the sun/ship/missile-seaker) do not work. 1 PC specs: Windows 11 Home | Asus TUF Gaming B850-Plus WiFi | AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D + LC 360 AIO | MSI RTX 5090 LC 360 AIO | 55" Samsung Odyssey Gen 2 | 64GB PC5-48000 DDR5 | 1TB M2 SSD for OS | 2TB M2 SSD for DCS | NZXT C1000 Gold ATX 3.1 1000W | TM Cougar Throttle, Floor Mounted MongoosT-50 Grip on TM Cougar board, MFG Crosswind, Track IR

Maybe they (incorrectly) treat the TV seeker as a thermal/IR seeker and sun angle ruins the lock. Can you lock the vessels at night? 1

I think lighting plays a role and certain angles (relation of the sun/ship/missile-seaker) do not work. Yes Novorossijsk is bugged :S I don't know what condition must be completed to set lock. If the light is not so important at all (light angles, water sunshine ect don't work probably) hmmm so what condition would had to be fulfiled? Good point. Maybe they (incorrectly) treat the TV seeker as a thermal/IR seeker and sun angle ruins the lock. Can you lock the vessels at night? Small objects in same conditions are locked well, sometimes from 3 nm, sometimes from 1.5 and they are placed on ground where is less contrast than on sea where you have white sky (I fly low, so I see 1/2 of screen as sky and ship is in 3\4 on sky), blue water glass and big ship.

Boberro Posted May 30, 2009 Author Posted May 30, 2009 (edited) Ok guys I solved problem in another way :). I just approach to ship perpendicularly and fire Mavs without LA - Mavs have straight flight model so they hit ship anyway :). This is so stupid and funny but it works :D Edited May 30, 2009 by Boberro Reminder: Fighter pilots make movies. Bomber pilots make...
