Ven Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 4th mission in the campaign, I take off, head for waypoint 2 and switch to BVR to see what's out there. While scanning, I noticed that I passed waypoint 2 but it didn't automatically switch to waypoint 3. It's just stuck at waypoint 2 and the distance and ETA numbers are just counting up. And next waypoint command obviously isn't working in BVR mode. So I switch to Nav mode to select the next waypoint but it resets my radar and all the target information. Next mission, instead of switching to BVR, I stay in Nav mode and just turn the radar on to scan the area. This way, waypoint selection works and also switches automatically when I arrive. But obviously, I can't fire any missiles in Nav mode. I have to switch to BVR which also resets all the target information and have to scan for targets again. I'm not sure if this is bug or it's just the way it is. And if it is a bug, I'm not sure which part is the bug. But basically, I can't seem to keep track of the waypoint and the targets at the same time.
EvilBivol-1 Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 It's "just the way it is." Nav modes become inop when you switch to combat modes. - EB [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Nothing is easy. Everything takes much longer. The Parable of Jane's A-10 Forum Rules
Pyroflash Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 The way I usually work it is to periodically switch between NAV and BVR radar mode. I usually scan for a good 2 minutes under BVR then quickly swap to NAV to get a WP fix, then hop back to BVR. If you aim for the sky, you will never hit the ground.
