Lamb00fgod Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 (LOMAC modern air combat) Hey guys when I slew the target designator in the F-15c it locks me from being able to adjust the altitude of the scan wich i'm sure is a bug and frustrating as well. What can I do to fix that ?. Recently I have been trying to engage bandits without labels. If i'm not flying with AWACs the only way I can think of locating their heading would be with the TEWS,but some aircraft do not show up like the IL-76. How am I supposed to lacate their heading in that situation ?. Again im in the original Modern Air Combat. FC lags on my PC.

combatace Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 (edited) I'm sure you are looking them in some other direction. And get FC2 dude I just love it because of its dynamics.

Lamb00fgod Posted October 22, 2010 Author Posted October 22, 2010 (edited) Well I do,but if they are BVR by lets say 25nm I am not going to have any idea what altitude they are flying at,what heading they are on and how far out they are without those two pieces of information finding a bandit on radar would be a needle in a haystack. It seems rather unlogical/realistic to run 5-360 degree turns scanning the air space up and down...OR is it ? idk. But if that is the best method in that situation my first answer was left un touched wich is after sklewing my target designator it wont let me adjust altitude on the radar....

GGTharos Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 You should have detected a large aircraft at over 80nm, and a fighter at around 60nm under normal circustances (high aspect). At those ranges your radar covers so much altitude you barely need to scan up/down. If they're closer and you don't feel like extending, wiggle that antenna!

At those ranges your radar covers so much altitude you barely need to scan up/down. If they're closer and you don't feel like extending, wiggle that antenna! I do at times and other times I don't. For example I set up a fast battle planner with a Su-27 at very far distance. Not knowing where he was at I would turn my aircraft in un planned directions with radar scanning between 40-80 nm and 17 - 36 altitude I actually got lucky and picked him up on radar with help from TEWS showing me his direction. I played a second round now I know where he was at exactley. I fly direction flip radar on I cant pick him up for nothing. he actually flys directly on nose and shoots me down.:doh: when I knew exactly where he was at. If it wasn't for TEWS I would have been in a sitting duck. Radar plays trick like that. I beleive I have a good understandign of it but it is as if it chooses when to work and not. Sorry for being noob, lol
GGTharos Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 Plan your turns ;) When you don't have 'external help' it's always good to have a good, fast search pattern. It helps if you know the general direction they'll come from, if not, you need to be looking around. And if your radar is not picking him up, you're doing something wrong - I assume you patched to 1.02 at least as the original 1.00 LOMAC was pretty buggy.
