Doc. Caliban Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 If I lock a moving target, toggle the ground-moving option, and then launch on it, sometimes after the hit the now-unlocked targeting reticule will continue moving in the same direction and at the same speed as it was when it was locked onto the target. As I manually move it around, as soon as I stop giving it input, off it goes again. Nothing I do makes it stop other than re-centering or re-caging, neither of which are the least bit convenient in battle. What dumb thing am I doing? -Doc [ Asus Rampage II Extreme | Intel i7 920 @ 3.6GHz| 12GB DDR3 | 3-Way SLI (3x GTX280OC 1GB) | 300GB Raptor | SupremeFX X-Fi 7.1 audio | 1,200W Thermaltake Toughpower PSU | 30" LCD @ 2560x1600 | Thrustmaster HOTAS Cougar | TrackIR 5 | CoolerMaster HFC 332 case ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can also use that, e.g. by just locking the ground when moving. The SHKVAL will then try to track that area. If you lock a target, it tracks that, but if it loses track, it will return to the previous mode and continue tracking with the previously noted angles and speeds.

Doc. Caliban Posted October 5, 2009 Author Share Posted October 5, 2009 How can you make it stop doing it so that you can just freely hat it around looking for more targets?

Speed_2 Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 How can you make it stop doing it so that you can just freely hat it around looking for more targets? I don't think you can, unfortunately. I've asked the same question and searched in the manual, all I could figure out to do was to lock a stationary target... which is not always available, obviously. It would be nice if you could control the "stationary" speed of the skhval, then you could slew it fast enough to lock onto a high angular speed target, like a jet or a close and fast chopper, but alas, this is also not an option. arrogant, realism-obsessed Falcon 4 junkie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As posted above, you don't need an actual target to lock the SHKVAL. It works much like an area-lock and a target-lock. Just lock somewhere onto the ground and the SHKVAL should try to follow that point and remain stationary. In some situations it's not enough though, so I also use the HMS and Center-SHKVAL functions to quickly aquire new targets.

Spider76 Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 how i use it: lock target - destroy it. press lock again - shkval start to move pres lock 3 time shkval stops now its in my control again..or so sometimes its goes beserk nad have reset it and start over.. it might easier to operate in manual targeting mode then auto targeting mode. theirs in lots information about shkval in the pdf manual.. ::ASRock 4Core1333::Intel Quad Q6600 2.4 GHZ::OCZ DDR2 Reaper HPC Edition 4 GB::Club3D 9800GT 1GB Green Edition::Acer LCD 19":: Nexus 400W::Vista Ultimate SP2::Saitek X36F & X35T Joystick::Youtube::Spider´s Channel::Suomi-Finland :-) :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InsaniD Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 You could just hit the Backspace key to reset the targeting system after you are done with the kill... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speed_2 Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 You could just hit the Backspace key to reset the targeting system after you are done with the kill... Which is completely a bad idea if you need to engage a target near the one you just destroyed... arrogant, realism-obsessed Falcon 4 junkie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Migo Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Yea you also have to activate the mode like Ground Target again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spider76 Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 (edited) sorry - i meant the skhavl angage (o) that i use to get skval in control ..not locking up targets lock it , once killed i press(o) again not lock ..locking up targets will only shorten ur laser finder lifetime .. why it is so? the laser thingy?

manne Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 how i use it: it might easier to operate in manual targeting mode then auto targeting mode. :shocking: I need to re-read the manual on the Shkval again. Or do you mean auto targeting mode as in horizontal scan mode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
