Rip Blaisedale Posted May 4, 2013 Posted May 4, 2013 Sorry for peppering the forum with some basic questions. I think this is my last one. I've noticed that at times I seem to have lost control of the Shkval camera that I am guiding with a thumb switch on my X52. I try to move it, it won't move or starts acting like it has a mind of it's own. Also, the helmet sighting does not work, hold down "O" and I don't get the crosshairs in the yellow circle sight. What's going on and is there away to regain control? Thanks in advance. The answers to my first two questions were helpful. I've flown about everything since MSFS 2002 and European Air War. This sim has really held my attention for months trying to get better.
Ich666 Posted May 4, 2013 Posted May 4, 2013 Did you press "O" a second time? This enables the automatic shval mode, where it wanders around.
zaelu Posted May 4, 2013 Posted May 4, 2013 (edited) Sometimes the Skhval does go on his own business... not sure why but it is very rare. And I mean when is ground stabilized with the Pi simbol On. But make sure you did not press a second time on the uncage skhval button as this will toggle the auto search mode function which makes the sight go from left to right continuously... the speed can be modified by some controls on your right console behind the AP buttons... put the mouse over buttons and you will see it in a pop up. Also there are keys assign to this but I don't know them now... something with skhval speed up and down. If the skval is in search mode you need to press again on Uncage button. If it just slides on its own... you shout reset the targeting altogether and try again. The reset targeting button is on your left console just about cut of valves... blue towards pilot leg. The Head mounted sight should work, you set the targeting system in ground attack mode and auto turn on target if you like and then activate the HMS look where the targes should be and press uncage shkval and it should start to calculate the targeting... but not always gets something to consider as a target. But if you have the autoturn on target activated it should at least turn the helicopter towards it... if you are in a decent hover. I am not sure if you need it to activate the outboard pilons so it will know it should seek a target for vikhr missiles as I usually activate them before using HMS.

JG14_Smil Posted May 4, 2013 Posted May 4, 2013 This is not a Shkval speed issue, it is a bug and it makes using the Shkval a PITA at times. As stated, HMS works fine.
