Lock On Questions

[ZQuickSilverZ]

I have been playing Lock On Flaming Cliffs 2.0 for some time but have some questions I can't seem to figure out for myself. I would like the answers if you have them.

 

A-10A

1. What are the "PRS\SGL Release Submode Cycles" (Left Shift + Spacebar)?

2. What exactly does the "Ship Take Off Position" do (U)?

 

Su25T

1.What purpose does adjusting the "Altimeter Pressure" serve (Increase Right Shift + =)(Decrease Right Shift + -)? Does this Sim even model Barometrics to that detail?

 

2.What is "Cut Of Burst Select" (Left Shift + C)? I have not found 1 person that can answer this. I think it has something do do with the guns.

 

Both

What exactly does "RWR/SPO Mode Select" do (Right Shift + R)?

A-10

For the A-10 the "PRS\SGL Release Submode Cycles" is releasing bombs in pairs or one at a time a.k.a single

 

The Ship take off position is for the Su-33. If you are on the carrier and press the "U" button it will move you in the position to take off.

 

25T

I don't know if the "Altimeter Pressure" works on the 25T, as I don't fly it a lot and when I do I'm not worried about that or the "Cut Of Burst Select" A 25T driver will have to answer that.

 

Frankly, I forgot what the "RWR/SPO Mode Select" does, I haven't flown FC2 in over 2 1/2 months.

[Kuky]

RWR/SPO Mode I think was if you want the RWR to sound all radar signals it detects or just if someone is locked on your aircraft

[ZQuickSilverZ]

Anybody want to tackle the "Cut Of Burst Select". I have yet to find 1 person that can answer what exactly that does. You guys up to the challange?

 

Thank you Cali and Kuky I am two steps closer to understanding all the functions.

 

Just a few questions left.

[Nate--IRL--]

I would guess it selects the burst cut off. :P

 

The cannon will automatically limit the burst length - this would toggle that I think, so holding the trigger will give continuous fire.

25 rounds burst or continuous till gun is empty.

[ZQuickSilverZ]

Thank you commbatace. That is exactly what I was looking for. Also Kuky your correct about the RWR/SPO I tested that today.

 

Cali can you elaborate more on the "PRS\SGL Release Submode Cycles". I did see where it had the single / multi option. But it has 4 total options. 2 single and 2 multi. What is the difference between the two?

 

Anybody want to take a crack at the "Altimeter Pressure" question? Does anybody know if this is modeled for FC 2.0? Can you even get the QFE of the field in FC 2.0 (I know you can in DCS: BS)? Obviously the main reason this would be important is for landing without the use of a radar altimeter (due to damage or component failure) in low visibility. But if its not modeled whats the point of setting it? Anybody got any answers? Do any of the "fast movers" have this function (the A-10A does not)?

when you start on the ramp your Atlimeter will show the incorect altertude. bit like in DCS.

or if you land at a different airfield you need to set the QFE code to the correct one.

In the a-10, you can drop bombs one at a time or in pairs. You select which one you want to use and on the other switch you select how many you want to drop and the time between them if you want. Say you want to drop cluster bombs on a convoy that is 10 vehicles long. You can set to drop in pairs at .25 seconds. I haven't flown the A-10A in a very long time and don't have a screenshot to show you, maybe later tonight when I get home and wake up I can post one for you.

Watch this video

 

Hopefully this helps you, look at the key commands in the Doc folder, hope in the A-10A and press those buttons and watch what happens on that panel.

[ZQuickSilverZ]

Well.... I did watch the panel. I did see the knob turn. However, since it uses an acronym it was a bit tricky to figure it out. But after you explained it I understood it. Or at least I think I did. Let me ask just to verify.

 

PRS = Pairs Drops a pair of bombs 1 time

SGL = Single Drops 1 single bomb 1 time

RIP PRS = Ripple Pairs Drops several pairs of bombs using a programmed ripple interval

Rip SGL = Ripple Single Drops several single bombs using a programmed ripple interval

 

Is that correct?

Yep, you got it
