grandkodiak Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Ive been playing the night mission in one of the A10 campaigns and Ive found that you can not lock onto a 2s6 tunguska with ir or optical under any circumstances, range, or even under flares. is this a bug? or is this programmed to make the mission storey a certain way. its incredibly annoying.

71st_Mastiff Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I dont seem to have that problem you do know you have to be in 3.2 nm range?

Kuky Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Some area on the map have bug that you can't lock onto anything on them... one such area is near Novorosysk city (NW of the airbase) so this might be it. Don't bother using TV guided Mavericks at night (unless you use flares) but with IR's shouldn't be an issue locking from good 15+km away No longer active in DCS...

pauldy Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I can obtain an IR Maverick Lock at 4 or 5 nautical miles. Although i try to fire the mav at a closer range. I do remember some players stating a map bug in lock on wherein your a-10 can not lock anything.. at novorossiysk area? not so sure... Also take note the the Maverick K is not optimized for night missions since it uses a TV seeker. ---- EDIT: Kuky beat me to it =D [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
71st_Mastiff Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I can never get a lock more then 3.2 nm with any of the mav's..

pauldy Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Try to reinstall Lock On and see if it's still there. We officially have a bug when flying over novorossiysk area. Other than that you should be able to lock ground vehicles in any part of the map. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S77th-konkussion Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Unless it's located within a city/ town.. Seen plenty of interference with buildings kind of taking over. Despite the vehicle being visibly hotter on screen- buildings do sometimes overwhelm the camera and make it hard to lock up. Approach from different angle.

Despite the vehicle being visibly hotter on screen- buildings do sometimes overwhelm the camera and make it hard to lock up. Approach from different angle. Valid point. Most ppl have settings set to draw vehicles farther than other ground props. It's possible that vehicles get actually obscured by ground objects that are yet to be drawn...

grandkodiak Posted August 22, 2009 Author Share Posted August 22, 2009 its near trees but its clear as day on thermal, and under flare on dtv cam, but its unlockable from pretty much every angle, i have to dance with it until its out of ammo then gun it, or attempt to loft a bomb at it after sending in the good ol wingman as a decoy falcon 4 style.

CHola Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Hm...If I put a tank behind the building and set building distance draw to very low, I can see tank through the building normally, but can't lock it and if I shoot it with a cannon, shells will impact on building, although it hasn't been drawn (impact on air). Whether it's the same case with trees, I don't know, but I believe it's possible. Try putting vehicles on the meadow, maybe there's an electric pole nearby or something like that.

Kuky Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 ^^^^ even if you can't see it, the building is still there so yeah, bullets will hit the building. No longer active in DCS... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandkodiak Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 hmm the mission is in the a10 campaign, think its the 5th? start at night, fly north east more or less to destroy a convoy of trucks protected at the rear by a sam. also some aa guns in a field between 2 lakes thats wide open, and 2? sams in the woods west of the main run protecting a flanking run. the trucks i can lock onto w no problems, and i can clearly see the aa in the field and rear sam truck, but cant lock on to either. no building/terrain/trees are blocking them, i can even dive on them and get within a mile before taking direct fire, but still cant lock despite overly bright image on thermals. dtv mav doesnt lock either, except on the trucks. if i get it dead center before locking, it simply jumps about 50 years in any direction and locks the ground instead instead of the obvious heat source. i could imagine it having trouble with the sams to the east as they are in the woods, and once the trees load they do a decent job of providing cover... but the aa is dead center in a field and the moving sam last in the convoy is clear as day on the road, and you can lock ANY of the trucks, and they are on the same path/terrain/speed! just for kicks ill put on god mode and drop flares to see if i can get a dtv mav lock...?

CHola Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 @grandkodiak, I've noticed Mavericks work significantly worse in Patch 1.12b and I can't lock onto tank with "K" Maverick farther than 1.5km! I think that's "increased realism" tweak... Cheers, CHola Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
