Disappearing and Appearing Bombing Range Cue
-
Hi, I am probably doing something amiss. In AG bombing mode with say a JDAM, the range cue (that scale/bracket on the right side of the HUD) sometimes disappears as I approach the target area. I have to fiddle with the SMS bomb selection or something then it reappears. I can’t quite figure out how to replicate the issue. Is there some parameters I need to keep to prevent the range cue from disappearing?
Thanks

@GrEaSeLiTeNiN - One possible cause: You must maintain a certain minimum speed.

Yeah I did check my speed, it was usually about 400 knts.

yeah stay above mach 0.60 iirc … and within a certain cone of launch params.
it does seem a little weird for HUD symbology to just appear and disappear like that, with no visual feedback why … no other F-16 weapon I can think of, does that. but I have no basis of comparison for RL jet, or even other sims.

@GrEaSeLiTeNiN You must maintain the minimum burst alitude set in the MFD if it’s a cluster bomb.

Ok I think I managed to reproduce it at least speed wise. When the aircraft speed falls outside the following speed limits, the bombing range scale disappears:
JSOW-A: > 562 knts or < 373 knts
GBU-31: < 280 knts -
@GrEaSeLiTeNiN That seems right to me. Maintain velocity and the cue won’t leave you and go out for a beer.
Best wishes and happy CCRP to ya!!
