"automatic target lock" button

[markturner]

Hi, I am programming my HOTAS and in the manual, combat employment section, under Shkval target designation, it refers to 2 buttons, one on the cyclic "designate target", which I can find and assign (O) no problem. The other , on the collective referred to as "automatic target lock" , I have looked and looked & I cannot find in the controls section to map. Can anyone tell me the keypress for this? ( I am presuming its different to "Lock Target")

 

( Its a shame the manual does not give you the keyboard shortcut for these instead of the russian language symbols, which are frankly, not much help..!)

 

cheers, Mark

Cut'n'Paste from the manual (new 6-10/old 2-10):

 

"8. “АВТ ЗАХВ” button. Toggles target acquisition and lock when using Shkval [ENTER]."

Thanks - the manual is a bit confusing sometimes

the manual is a bit confusing sometimes

A bit of an understatement. I don't speak Russian, so sorry, when it starts talking about the backwards-"R", f***d-up-looking-"A" button, I'm at a loss. I never learned the PVI-800 very well because of this:no_sad:

It's not your fault. The English manual should have no exotic letters anywhere except some appendix maybe. That's that.

 

Edit:

You've never learned the PVI you say... :sly: Well, maybe this will help (by Frederf)

 

From my old notes :book:

A teaser :)

 

If you have problems with Russian inscriptions just make a side by side image with English vs Russian in-cockpit inscription OR put Notes within your pdf manual OR isolate the chapter about PVI and edit it using a PDF editor.
