amollen Posted November 16, 2013 Posted November 16, 2013 Every so often I see a flashing "NOTE" in the lower part of the HUD where the compass scale normally is. I know I can get rid of it with TMS LEFT SHORT but what is it trying to tell me?
Mike Busutil Posted November 16, 2013 Posted November 16, 2013 (edited) Press "ACK" (acknowledge) on the lower right on the MFCD to clear it. The reason for the note itself can vary.... i.e to check your EO Timer or an incoming message. You can also just TMS Left Short to get rid of it.

amollen Posted November 16, 2013 Author Posted November 16, 2013 Such as? What am I supposed to do when I see it?
Mike Busutil Posted November 16, 2013 Posted November 16, 2013 (edited) If the EO sensor has been on too long since alignment started you will see the note. Cycle EO power. If a wingmen sends you a message, you will see the note. Check your messages... Mavericks, can only operate for 30 mins, after that the seeker performance starts degrading.

Flagrum Posted November 16, 2013 Posted November 16, 2013 If the EO sensor has been on too long since alignment started you will see the note. Cycle EO power. If a wingmen sends you a message, you will see the note. Check your messages... Mavericks, can only operate for 30 mins, after that the seeker performance starts degrading. Too bad that this isn't modelled in DCS. Especially as you actually can configure that EO power is applied automatically, depending on either time of flight (i.e. power on after x minutes), distance to ... IP? Tgt?, and even your heading (i think. like, you fly heading 90 towards your IP, then turn to target for your run in to i.e. 45. You configure EO power on for when your heading is 45)
Xavven Posted November 17, 2013 Posted November 17, 2013 Look at your MFCD in the lower right hand corner. You'll see a message in reverse video (usually black text on white background saying "CHECK EO TIME" which means your Maverick seeker has been on a long time.)
Nerull Posted November 18, 2013 Posted November 18, 2013 When you follow JTAC procedures (receiving info then readback) the JTAC sends info, also resulting in the "NOTE" popup
amollen Posted November 22, 2013 Author Posted November 22, 2013 When you follow JTAC procedures (receiving info then readback) the JTAC sends info, also resulting in the "NOTE" popup When a JTAC sends data, it will say "MESSAGE" instead of "NOTE". I do believe that what I was seeing is related to the Maveric being on too long, it always seemed to happen well into the mission.
