Three Shkval questions about Shkval slewing

[Speed_2]

Hey guys,

 

I was curious if there was a way to adjust the shkval slewing speed? I was trying to engage some air to air targets last night, and I couldn't even keep up with this one Mi-24 that was crossing across my nose at about 2.5km. I was thinking it would be nice if you could press some kind of button to get the shvkal to continue moving at the speed you were slewing the gates without requiring further input. If not, is there any way to increase shvkal slewing speed?

 

Question two, can the shvkal be slewed analog, or is it only fully left/right/up/down? In other words, could you bind the shkval slewing to, say, a joystick, and then move the joystick only halfway in one direction and get half of the shvkal slewing speed?

 

Final question, say you lock a moving target, then you either kill that mover or otherwise break lock, and then wish to lock a different target near the mover. Well, your shvkal is gonna keep on moving at the angular velocity of the previous mover, making it tough to lock on a target with a different angular velocity. Is there any way of setting the shvkval slew back to zero WITHOUT resetting or re-boresighting the shkval??

 

Thanks for any help,

Speed

Hey Speed,

 

There's some LUA file where you can edit the Shkval speed, try a search since I don't remember the post...

Have a look here: lock / set target

Yes there is lua file:

 

Open:

 

Scripts\Aircrafts\Ka-50\Cockpit\Devices_specs\SHKVAL_V.lua then find:

 

slew_acceleration_base  = math.rad(6)  -- rad /sqr sec 

and change it (this "6") for another value - higher = faster slew.

If u longer press example left slew it goes faster. I don't understand at all this question... :P

Dunno it was due bug or I did something but few times I almost stopped Shkval from previous speed. But it was rarer than situation where I didn't stop without Shkval reset.

Re: Question 2- The shkval slew can be assigned to a joystick in the options..--> control tab--> Axis in drop menu ;)

Try hitting the lock button (whatever you have assigned the Shkval lock to) while the Shkval boresight is moving, it should attempt (and sometimes obtain, depending on background) a lock, and should stop moving.
