Question on using HMCS
-
HOBS with the JHMCS works very well and has for some time. If you’re being sneaky, you can press cursor enable to get the seeker head to point where you’re looking with the JHMCS. Alternatively, you can press TMS up to get the radar oval to look there. You release TMS up and it will lock whatever is in the oval. Then check for good tone and good parameters, and pickle. This combination makes the Viper incredibly deadly in a knife fight, as well as allowing you to rapidly engage multiple targets without looking back in the cockpit.

Perfect piece of info. I guess the aim9x seeker gimbal limits are in the manual? Trying to figure out if it’s possible to launch at say 7o’clock target up close.

2 questions:
-
now HMCS doesn’t permit to display the diamond when the target is locked in HAD …it s too bad…it was very usefull…so this feature was not realistic?
-
by the way, is this information provided to HMCS in IRL when the target is locked for all modes (especially in AG)?

They are, I’m pretty sure.
If using HMCS, you’ll get an X over the targeting oval if you’re outside of gimbal limits.

I don’t know if the HAD provides accurate enough coordinates to put a diamond on the target - it doesn’t seem like it does which is why you can’t get markpoints or slave the TGP to it. The real JHMCS does allow for integration with air-to-ground targeting (eg indicating where the TGP is looking). This feature isn’t in BMS yet, but I saw it as a possibility for inclusion in 4.34.

Even Visual locking with HMCS on the groud would be awesome … don’t know if the real one allows it.
