Dog Fight Mode Question
-
Hi Guys,
So had a Mig-29 in close after he juked two 120s, and couldn’t get into dogfight mode. I’d hit the DF switch and it would flash what looked like the DF symbology for a second then reverted back to TWS. I even tried the keyboard key “D” and didn’t work either (although have DF and MRM keys programmed to my TM WH).
After a successful BARCAP with two MIG-29s and a Mig-23 downed by me (Ace setting), I checked the manual real quick and couldn’t find anything really in-depth about it. Page-129 references holding the TMS down for a few seconds for various ACM modes - does this get me into a DF mode?
Thanks in advance,
DrDetroit

No, TMS changes the ACM radar modes (azimuth and/or bar) while in a particular AA Master Mode.
It sounds like the DF/MRM Override Cancel is on somewhere in the keyfile, so as soon as ‘enter’ DF, it cancels. Do you see the same behaviour in MRM …. that it cancels immediately?
-
Yes, I have MRM mapped on my throttle as well and it’s blinks on real quick and then nothing. Same behavior as DF. I have the cancel button mapped too…maybe a conflict. They are all on the same 4 way switch/hat on my throttle (where the thumb kind of rests above the airbrake slider - don’t remember the switch numbers). Will dig deeper tomorrow.

In the configuration, turn off Dogfight mode self cancels.
