millmax Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 Hi! Coming at a tank from about 20k, I started tracking the tank in the MAV page about 10 miles out. Some time after coming into range, about 7.5 miles out, the DLZ disappeared and it turned black. I cannot find a description of this in the manual.
Eddie Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 That's becuase of the angle, or lack thereof, you are approaching the target. Essentially you're outside of the launch limits of the Maverick (as set in DCS). However you're so far beyond the real launch limits of the Maverick it's scary. There is a limit of 30 degrees from boresight for the Maverick. If you can't even see the pointing cross on the MFCD, it's bad. Ideally you should be able to see the wagon wheel in the HUD, that means you'll be diving toward the target. 1
