[2.9.9.2406] ARBCS mode indications not as per manual/RL


Recommended Posts

Posted

According to the game manual (which reflects the RL 34-1-1), during ARBCS weapons deliveries,

  • at pull-up timer completion, the reticle light turns OFF,
  • as release pitch angle is attained, the pull-up light and the reticle light turn ON.

In the game, neither of the above occur.

In some versions of the 34-1-1, it is not clear what the "reticle light" actually is, but it becomes clear that the sight reticle is meant based on the following extract:

The RL 34-1-1 also contains the below note, which expands on the above:

In the game, releasing the bomb button before bomb release does not energize any lockout. Instead, the T1 timer can be restarted immediately without any further action by pressing the bomb button once more.

Letting go of the bomb button should also energize the reticle flasher relay:

In the game, reticle flashing does not occur in case b. above. I haven't tested, but I strongly suspect it does not occur in either of the above cases.

+1 This has been mis-implemented since release.

The ARBCS modes have serious flaws that need investigating. It gets worse when you combine a LABS/ARBCS mode with WRCS/OFFSET. The warning tones and functionality are missing. Problem is....it gets VERY complicated single pilot to set up and reproduce in a track. 

Bit frustrating since it was claimed all weapon delivery modes were to be working at release.
