Questions about [HUD] - SARH version of 'SRM'

[Eagle114th]

Hello everyone,

I have a questionsa bout [HUD] as I am stil trying to figure what I am  trying to do;

SARH version of SRM codes (SymbolType=TD_HEAT)? I do not know the sSymbolType for SAR, so I would like to ask anyone for this information.

For example, with the SRM I have (for IRM) in avionics.ini, under [HUD] group of codes:

Quote

[HUD_GUNSIGHT_SRM]
SymbolType=TD_HEAT
ImageFilename=cockpit\SOS - LEAD.TGA
ImagePosition=0.0,0.0565
ImageSize=0.2025

It works when the IRM have the locks on target. However, what I would like is an additional codes for SARH version.

Thank you and have a great day!

If I am not mistaken, SARH missiles don't have a HUD symbol of their own, the target gets the symbol from being locked by radar. I can't remember what symbol it is, most likely

[HUD_TD]
SymbolType=TD_RADAR

Thank you, I will try this method.

Hello everyone and @OlWilly

After working on US Navy / Marine Corps F-4B / J / N and US Air Force F-4C / D/ E, I am working on F-4S now.

Added the codes to F-4E_AVIONICS.INI, under [HUD] for both SARH and IR AAM:

Quote

[HUD_GUNSIGHT_SRM]
SymbolType=TD_HEAT
ImageFilename=cockpit\SOS - LEAD.TGA
ImagePosition=0.0,0.0565
ImageSize=0.2025

[HUD_GUNSIGHT_TD]
SymbolType=TD_RADAR
ImageFilename=cockpit\SOS - LEAD.TGA
ImagePosition=0.0,0.0565
ImageSize=0.2025

Turns out that HUD_GUNSIGHT_SRM work as intended, but HUD_GUNSIGHT_TD does not work.  The crosshair does not appear.

 

In-game with IRM locking on target visually which works perfectly

 

But SARH version, as stated, crosshair does not appear yet:

I am continuing to try various codes to try to get SARH visual lock working.

By the way, I have an additional questions:

Is there HUD method version of GunsightRollTabsName and GunsightRangeBarName too? If there is, I would like to request for the codes, so Ican apply it on F-4S too.

Hello everyone!

Actually it does work, and I have another issue to solve:

The crosshair appear and points at target when using radar to scan for target:

 

However, the issue is that, another crosshair also appear when switching to gun or IRM:

 

This is what I have in F-4S_Avionics.ini for [HUD]

What I am trying to do is to have HUD_GUNSIGHT_TD symbol disappear or disabled when switching to gun or IRM.

SymbolType=TD_RADAR is for target locked in STT

SymbolType=TD_HEAT is for target locked by SRM own seeker

Usually it's two different symbols so they don't overlap. Also remember that most fighters could slave SRM seeker to a radar

I am not sure if you can disable TD_RADAR when SRM is selected since it's two different functions
