Setup/Initial Q's?

[bSr.LCsta]

If anyone has answer's please post ;)

 

1. How do you set a default HUD color?

 

2. How do you change the head movement peramters? (not snap views)

 

3. How do change the max/min cockpit zoom? (i tried it in the cockpit .cfg to 3 and 135, but not noticing a difference?)

 

4. Can someone explain the logic of the camera shake and float? (ie, specific settings)

 

5. How do you increase cockpit zoom speed?

 

6. Is it correct that russian planes no longer display name of free fall ordinance?

 

7. After reading about the TWS in the Russian fighters, I am confused as to when/how to use this? My initial thought is that it looks the same as SCAN Mode, with the difference being the auto lock at 85% range if cursor is placed over radar dot. What else am i missing? Once the auto lock is engaged w/ R-27R/ER SAR missile it goes to SST Mode and alerts enemy RWR correct? Does enemy RWR detect TWS Mode with SAR missile selected?

 

Thanks to anyone who can answer :)

6) If I remember correctly the weapon names weren't displayed in the demo when they updated the HUDs to a supposedly more realistic state.

 

I haven't played 1.1 yet so I can't answer anymore.

As far as I can work out, the TWS only really gives you more precise range info - you get the indicator on the range bar for the tracked target.

 

 

Within 85% range with an SARH missile, the TWS tracked target transitions to autotrack submode - yes, STT if you're American.

 

And I'm pretty sure that TWS still appears as a searching radar to any target being painted - but you still need to lock the target to guide an SARH missile to it.
