homepage Forums Air Combat & Civil Aviation Falcon 4.0 Disappearing EEGS

Hi everyone

When I'm in a guns fight using the EEGS funnel, the funnel will disappear when I start shooting and then re-appear after I stop. This doesn't happen when using LCOS or SNAP modes. I'm using version 1.03.

Is this meant to happen?

I think it is, as when you're actually firing the gun the tracers are showing you the bullet path.

Good point. Thanks.

One other thing to keep in mind: EEGS is not for precision gunnery (that's what LCOS is for). The technique for hits with EEGS is to start slightly behind and pull more lead as you're firing. This way some of the rounds will hit.

I re-installed the original Falcon 4.0 and the EEGS funnel doesn't disappear in that. Should be easy fix to add to 1.04 eh LP! :-)

From page 106 in the SP3 manual......

"The EEGS display levels have been further expanded to reflect increased realism:

- The funnel disappears when firing and reappears shortly after firing stops.

- If the SCOR button on the MFD is enabled, FEDS bullet markers replace the funnel while firing (only if no target is locked and the Master Arm switch is set to either to SIM or ARM).

- If a target is locked, a level V director piper appears, giving a true "death dot" in a stabilized situation against a target on a predictable flight path."

You can't compare the old with the new - the new is more realistic!
