steve_giraffe Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 Hi Sometimes when using Mavericks at night I can lock on and fire no problem - other times they just wont fire and a message is displayed on the MFD. How do you can the camera to white/dark hot? I dont see any OBS button to be able to do this. Thanks
s3n0 Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 Hello! :) Well, on TGP u can switch WHOT/BHOT/TV with lalt+rigt/left arrow but im not sure if there is same option to Mav. Easiest way is to mark targets with TGP, set SPI and slave mav to SPI. Hope i helped :) Regards Dave
Nerull Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 It's not on the MFCDs but on the HOTAS. On the TM Warthog it's the button above the china hat button that allows you to change to white/dark hot. Don't remember the exact denomination fo the button though, sorry :p
steve_giraffe Posted April 22, 2013 Author Posted April 22, 2013 Thanks for quick reply. The MAV screen on the MFD is virtually black at night so i think its struggling to see the target - the white cross hair is there but if i change the contrast of the screen is better but you still cant make anything out. Am I doing something wrong at night by mav targeting?
MTFDarkEagle Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 Steve: which version of the Mav are you using? The -D has an IR camera, the -H has a TV camera. Lukas - "TIN TIN" - 9th Shrek Air Strike Squadron TIN TIN's Cockpit thread
Revelation Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 I agree with DarkEagle, load the 'D' model and you will get to use the IR sensor. Win 10 Pro 64Bit | 49" UWHD AOC 5120x1440p | AMD 5900x | 64Gb DDR4 | RX 6900XT

Blaze Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 You can also use the TGP in B/WHOT mode to find the target first, set it as SPI, then slave your Mav cam to SPI. i7 7700K | 32GB RAM | GTX 1080Ti | Rift CV1 | TM Warthog | Win 10 "There will always be people with a false sense of entitlement.

WildBillKelsoe Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 the button to switch black and white hot is the boat switch. In all mavericks, it does nothing but change the crosshair color, not the sensor. If you turned on mavericks for more than 30 mins, you get CHECK EO TIME as MFD message. The imaging sensor on the maverick has warmed too much to be able to differentiate hot objects from cold objects. turn it off, then turn it back on. expect the usual 3 mins warming time delay.

Thats not implemented. Never had issues with the mavericks that related to the mav timer. I also conducted independent tests to make triple sure this was the case, 3-5 hours flying with them powered up didn't hinder the IR detection/acquisition ability in the slightest.
Yellonet Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 I was under the impression that the Mavs would lock on but become less and less accurate the longer the sensor was on beyond 30 min, but maybe that's not modelled either. i7-2600k@4GHz, 8GB, R9 280X 3GB, SSD, HOTAS WH, Pro Flight Combat Pedals, TIR5

ENO Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 I was also under the impression that the eo effects were never implemented- that comes from when I first started playing and didn't know what it meant... I believe it was one of the testers who explained it to me and said it wasn't modeled. Would be happy to know that was changed If that is indeed how it is suppose to work!

I test certain things when new patches come out, this is one of the things I look for, still not modelled. IIRC there should also be limits when you can deploy the mav's, I've deployed them during the inverted stage of a roll with no problems.
wess24m Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 (edited) well, as far back as I can remember, that always was the case, unless 1.2.3 had the EO time removed. The timer is still there, as is the ability to set IFF notifications through the IFFCC menu. Neither are functionally modelled. If it helps your immersion you can still cycle the timer, although it doesn't make any difference in performance of the missile. Edited April 24, 2013 by wess24m
