not a bug ACM MODE

[yakiniku]

In the F-16C ACM mode, isn't it a bug that the HUD scan and Vertical Scan toggle each time the Target Management Switch is pressed backward?

Hi, please read this first

 they need a report not a question.

 

Recheck your inputs? Maybe something is bound incorrectly.

In the F-16C ACM mode, isn't it a bug that the HUD scan and Vertical Scan toggle each time the Target Management Switch is pressed backward?

The manual provides the following explanation on page 348.

•       TMS Up: Boresight (BORE) Sub-mode
•       TMS Down: 10° × 60° (Vertical Scan) 
•       TMS Right: 30° × 20° (HUD Scan)
•       TMS Left: No function

I'm not sure what you mean by toggle?
Do you mean that the HUD goes back to the NO RAD state whenever you're in any ACM mode and press TMS aft? To my knowledge this is intentional, and its always been like this.

Doesn't the TMS input work as follows?

TMS UP -> BORE

TMS DOWN -> 20(HUD Scan)

TMS DOWN -> 60(Vertical Scan)

TMS DOWN -> 20(HUD Scan)

TMS DOWN -> 60(Vertical Scan)

The manual states "TMS Down: 10° × 60° (Vertical Scan)," but it's very strange that it initially switches to HUD SCAN.

TMS down is only for vertical scan, or entering NO RAD state when currently in an ACM mode.

If this does not line up with that is happening to you in DCS, please upload a .trk file.

I understand that it's not a bug. Thank you.
