[Solved, no bug] Weird TFR bug(?) in 4.33
-
Completely normal, proper TF commands requires both TFR and RALT.
Dash-34 1.8.8 :
When radar altimeter data is invalid or missing for 1 second, the terrain following system will declare a radar
altimeter data bad MFL (FLCS 80), (NVP 015) and a TF RALT FAIL, NVP COMM FAIL PFL. These PFLs and MFLs are
usually the result of switching the NVP to an operating mode before setting the radar altimeter to an operate mode
or when a radar altimeter break track occurs. In this situation, it is appropriate to execute a SWIM reset and resume
TF. If altimeter data is still missing (CARA inoperative), TF will not resumeBM Training 8.4 describes a check of automatic pull-up when briefly deactivating RALT, BTW.

As well as the avionics checklists
Where paddle is indeed advertized to solve it -
Yep, itâs not a bug rather than an ID10T error.
Anyway, Iâve only stumbled on a similar post in the â4.33 feedbackâ thread after Iâve solved my problem.
Thanks for the input anyway. Hope my blunder and this discussion will prevent new threads on the subject.

Might be an âidiotâ error but itâs kinda unusual to not being able to quickly ( without knowing the F16 in depth ) shut the mouth of Betty. I know that I spend a entire mission with that ⌠yelling at me the first time I wanted to try it
-
Its easy to shut her up. Just make use of the VMS inhibit switch.

I found automatic FLY UP to be very persistent so I added keyboard âAâ to toggle the ATF button. If I want to discontinue a fly up because of an error I hold AP DISC paddle, press âAâ, and then I sort the problem before reengage. Normal FLY UP without long term error it is enough just to hold AP DISC paddle and fly to acceptable parameters before releasing paddle to resume.

you should not have any fly up in auto except in case of system failure, bad pilot input or RainâŚ

The difference is âlatchedâ vs. âunlatchedâ and I was experiencing a latched flyup when doing the training TE procedure which includes inducing failures. Terrain related fly ups should be the unlatched variety which donât persist and simply AP paddle suspension and release should resume just fine.
-
JP is 100% correct about flyupâs. May I add that in real life, an aircraft or forward launched weapons within the TFR ground scan will cause a flyup.
In the case of the SWIM flyupâs there is a small bug. Radar altimeter bad data are taken into account even if the jet out out of theTFR pitch and roll limits. Known issue -
so whenever u perform a loft or roll&pull with TFR u get WARN sign and failures because of this bug,correct?
-
Not a bug to get a TF warning if you fly outside TF parameters when TF is functioning, just normal simulation of reality.
-
so, whenever u exceed the TFR limits for an attack or defence, u get all the warnings like TF fail,swim fail, nvp fail?

Yes. Hence the importance of the Paddle Switch to inhibit autopilot operation and all the TFR Warnings.
-
it still shows the WARN even if u have paddle switch depressed while overbanking/inverted.
-
AP paddle just disconnects the TFR (or AP) from controlling the airplane surfaces. The TFR system continues to behave the same regardless if the autopilot is connected or not (it doesnât know). Warnings normal to maneuvering are ânon-latchedâ meaning they will go away when the condition stops and TFR can be resumed by letting go of the paddle.

There is a bug where the SWIM flyup cause by bad RALT data kicks in, when the TFR is out of limits. Known issueâŚâŚ

thanks to all for the replies
-
back again
say you want to loft an LGB while on TFR and after the release you want to have a 3-5 degs dive so as to work on the TGP.While u paddle switch the TFR comes back on but puts you in a 12 degs dive(and A/P off since u have a TF fail). Is this because of this bug? -
TF FAIL doesnât necessarily turn it off; it provides a protection flyup. If you suspend TFR with AP paddle and then plan to release the AP paddle not being in TFR limits you should turn off the ADV Mode pushbutton while the AP paddle is held.
-
what u say happens automatically as soon as u get a TF fail.AMS off and consequently A/P off. What i cant get to work is the Vol5 low alt attack with TFR pg 276-a final technique-. since i dont know the âknownâ bugs im getting really bummed about tactical use of TFR
