user resolved 120 - Amraam launch shows missile off rail

[SKYWARRIOR]

Hi, I seemed to be a lot recently but its the place to learn for sure

Had to reload game and lots of stuff and now :

When I launch my missile in a dogfight it shows it coming off the rail under the wing and I have to re set the view in order to "pinky" quickly onto the next target in a group.

It did not do this before and I dont want it to. previously it just moved in cockpit view to the next locked target and instantly.  I have tried searching for a linked view or key but so far have failed.

Any ideas please

the mechanization for HAQ has changed a few times over the years. If you're trying to lock a different target all you have to do is undesigate then reenter HAQ to attempt lock on the target you're intending to shoot at. You shouldnt have to be moving your camera at all to do that

Hi, 

can you explain a little more what you think the issue is and attach an example track replay. 

thank you

Hi, thank you for the interest. Here is a mini movie showing what happens when I release the Amraan . I am in a fight of four in front and I want to select fire, then  my pinky button and fire, and so on, working my way through the targets as fast as possible then bear off with a trail of flares. All okay BUT every time I fire I get this view of the missile launching from the rail and following it towards the target. All very Disney but that

 

means I have to reset my view back to the cockpit BEFORE  I can fire again. Very time consuming and not wanted. I have tried to check for double buttons etc without success. Before my major troubles involving a re load complete of the game and Windows 11 about 1 month ago it started doing this and then one day it seemed to go back to the un animated process without the follow missile aspect. I Imagine I have set something that in both cases has been unknown by me but thats where I am now sadly.

In declining order of likelihood, you have a double binding connected your trigger or a messed up bindings file or else your whole install is in need of a repair.  That's pretty clearly changing your camera view as soon as you launch the missile.

Hi, I did some looking for double bindings with some flying mates in USA tonight and none of us could find anything. I did a complete new install about two weeks ago when the DDI problem was bugging me plus a slow clean and repair and it was still there. UNTIL tonight when having decided to fly with it and sort it over time it disappeared and went to the normal shoot and return to next one mode with no Disney following of the missile.

I have NO idea why it rectified itself and as you say double binding somewhere but its not obvious and has gone away so thank you for the attention and we all move on to the next problem as yet unknown.

Thanks

Glad to hear you sorted it. 

Keep an eye out if it happens again. But please, remember, we need a track of your event, not just a video. 

Thanks.
