Bullseye Data Display Help
-
Flying a Training Mission created in the Editor. Bullseye is at Keasong on the map. During Ramp Start, Bullseye data is initially displayed on the HUD and the MFD. After loading the Data Cartridge the Bullseye Data dissappears from the HUD and the MFD. HUD just displays NAV with nothing below it even after the INS is aligned and set to NAV. Is there a way to to get Bullseye Data to re-display?
I see there is a Bullseye page on the ICP, but this seems to let me set the BE at a steerpoint, but I would prefer to have the BE at a location not related to the flight plan.

[Bullseye]
BullseyeInfoOnMFD=1 (or 0)As saved in your (callsign).ini file. It is a checkbox in the GUI editor for DTC as well.
Also in the airplane you can change every time through the DED LIST pages.

That got it. Many thanks for the quick help.

I did all the settings in .ini file and DTC. My bullseye is only available in AA mode. In AG mode, it’s all “W” at the corner of MFDs. It makes a little harder to do pre-plan cas on movers using AWACs help.
-
It’s a change since 4.33 and more than likely to better represent the real F-16. Use MRM override liberally in the AG mission. I think BE numbers are still present in either FCR or HSD page? I get pointed the right way with BE call but FAC is bearing-range when I get closer anyway.

1.8.7.2.18 Bearing and Range to System Point of Interest (SPI). In any GM mode, location of the SPI is provided in two digital formats on the MFD. If the mode-selectable bullseye is not selected, the location of the SPI relative to the system STP is displayed above the backup steering symbol (flying W) on the MFD. If the mode-selectable bullseye has been selected, the flying W is replaced by ownship bullseye symbology, the same as on A-A FCR displays. Location of the SPI is then displayed relative to the bullseye. In either case, location of the SPI relative to ownship is also displayed to the right of the flying W or ownship bullseye symbology.
If the BE is mode selected, it should on CCIP jets replace the flying W in AG mode. The SPI position from ownship should also be displayed to the right of the BE/flying W.

What’s that info to the right of the BE in that diagram? TACAN? Steerpoint?

Im not sure how else to put it… you are usually pretty switched on Frederf! Is it late for you?

I got lazy and didn’t look it up (MLU M3?). In any case I tried to get BE on MFD for AG mode recently because I miss it too (or at least the cursor numbers). I thought maybe it was independently selectable per master mode but looks not.
Whatever the case it is how it is at least until argued different and U1. I got used to MRM’ing when re-positioning for a distance AG BE call which is probably a good habit anyway to check the airspace in that direction (it’s far enough that they are giving it as BE calls) before going blinders on again.

Well sure, but I literally wrote what the info was in my post… Of the two sentences I posted, the second one was the answer to your question!
I think the way it currently works is correct for MLU aircraft. So far as I can see in the MLU manuals, you can get the BE information in the AA and in the HUD but not on the AG radar format.

Indeed, it doesnt do anyone any good arguing about how it is in the real jet vs BMS until BMS changes it and releases an update. So I guess I am hoping to get it fixed for U1!

I am kinda rusty here. To get BE mode select, I go to DED, cruise page to do it?

Its number 8 on the MISC menu. The CCIP behavior I described is not present on BMS block 40s.

So for block 40s, there is simply no BE in AG mode right?
-
On the FCR in AG, in BMS, yes. I dont think its correct, but as Frederf points out, its the way it is for now.

Oh, ok. U were talking about RL vs BMS. BTW, what distinguishes 40 vs 50 in outward appearance is the bird slice antenna on 50’s nose right?
-
Well, if you can see the HUD, that makes it pretty obvious. Or the tail number.
Im not certain that CCIP block 40s dont have the bird slicers on them. Would have to look that up.
