missing track file First detent showing circle on target at ranges further out then it should?

[CrazyGman]

So when selecting first detent on the trigger you get a circle highlighting the actual target if you have a current radar lock, and your inside a certain distance. typically outside of 50km you will just get the gun funnel if you press the first detent. However if you close to within 30km it will flicker from the gun funnel to the circle with the locked target. Then once inside 30km you will just get the circle around the locked target like in the picture below:

While handy, I think this is likely a current bug, and the ranges are way off for this to appear that far off outside of gun employment range.

Shhhh, dont tell anyone.

The Mig-29A is limited enough......

Lol. I know, hell I hope I'm wrong and some SME pipes in, but let's be honest. Part of the reason we like the MiG-29 is because it's hard mode for 4rth gen fighters

Why would it appear only within gun employment range?

AreiaGloria says it should only show up around 1.6km when I posted about it in the regular forum.

Not sure what his source is, I can't find it in my MiG-29 manual, but he has more then me, and has spent more time going over the details, and while there is part of me that in my heart of hearts wants him to be wrong. I sadly don't think he is.

Also I don't even think computed gun targeting is supposed to necessarily work in RAD mode. I believe it uses the irst for tracking and ranging.

I'm away for three days due to work, so can't make a track file. Can someone else just go into mission editor, and lock up a head on target at around 60km, and then press the first detent, and let the target close to you and post that track here?

It will show up as a funnel at first, and then flicker to the target circle occasionally, then somewhere around 50-30km it will be just be the solid circle.

I will try it. I spent more time reading manuals than playing since the release.

Damn it.  You're the kid who reminds the teacher they didn't assign homework.  

 

PLEASE keep this bug!

They can remove this if the Laszlo/Lazur is finally in, so you actually get usable information.

One of the 80 MiG-29 manuals I read recently, honestly probably combat employment or L-18

Atill won’t show us exactly where the target is! Unless it’s set up for the one of three interception methods that sends you straight to target and your 100% nose on, just like now with radar or IRST lock
