astronomical values in time to steerpoint and distance
-
@danaos75 let me ask you this, since the elevation from the plane to the AAA target is very low, when point tracking on TGP there will always be some trees in front. The point track clearly snaps to the AAA, will the trees block the laser to the vehicle? I always hit short of the target…
Or are trees hollow object in BMS? -
@gabrielwong1991 I will let someone with more experience answer you that. I am only involved in the sim for a couple of months. BUT on the old mav training mission (4.35). I played the mission with no trees due too my low end pc, and I always had trouble locking on the AAA at low altitude. I had to go higher to properly lock on the AAA.

@gabrielwong1991 Slant range should be displayed.This is an error from our behalf.

@Leech Hi Leech thanks for your help! I have another question…
When I use the FCR to locate a target, use MARK to make steer point, upon entering MARK and designate TMS UP the FCR doesn’t scan horizontally anymore until I restart the FCR by using TEST page… Any ideas?
-
@gabrielwong1991 What type of MARK ?
-
@gabrielwong1991 Hang on… Could you please take a photo of your FCR when you select ICP 7 ? It should be in AGR mode. (hint hint)
-
Think I know what happened now… I was in training mission 15 for the IAM bombs and was told to mark the target using MARK in UFC.
Turns out I need to:
- Acquire the target first in FCR (TMS up)
- Click on MARK and it should be on (FCR) mode and TMS up again to create steerpoint 26.
My problem is I missed step 1 and when clicking MARK on UFC it will be on HUD mode… Even if you cycle to FCR mode (MARK page in DED) the FCR itself will not scan horizontally and froze… So either I need to exit A-G mode or use TEST in MFD to restart FCR…
I wondered why because it happened one time where I was on a dive and the FCR also froze, not scanning horizontally.
You see it freeze on horizontal scanning (I tried clicking standby and back to GM it just won’t scan):
-
@gabrielwong1991 Hmm… Cant replicate. Could you please share a video ? Cheers!
-
@Leech this is the video, not sure if it is a feature

-
@gabrielwong1991 Thanks for the video. That clears things up.
Its a bug. Its related to IAM weapons. I was testing with conventional bombs and GBUs, so that’s why I could not replicate your problem. Good catch!! -
@Leech thanks hopefully it is an easy fix!
