For top tier soviet jets and chinese jets, I find the tall green radar box very hard to use. Is there anyway to switch to HMD without cycling through the tall green radar box? Thanks.
I’m not here to answer this forum’s question, but is there a way see the HMD even when looking forward?
This is the HMD when looking forward:
But to switch to the HMD, I have to go through this tall green box:
Sorry, I mean in the cockpit so I can still the where I’m aiming and what friendlies are in front of me for the planes that have inter-aircraft data-link
Yes you can by pressing your radar lock key bind when your radar is turned off
No
No, but there really should be
(And the green box is called ACM mode)
There is
When your radar is turned off you can switch instantly to the hmd by pressing your lock target button
Yeah, i turn my radar off before cresting a mountain to sneak up with R27’s on people, works quite well
So…
Choice A) Cycle through ACM into HMD hoping not to sang something in the ACM mode
Choice B) Switch your radar off and then toggle between radar modes to enable HMD Mode.
Both seem like a total faf to me and not what is needed which is a “press this button for HMD mode no matter what” and that is what OP is probably asking for
Heck, to be brutally honest, they should have keybind options for jumping immediately to ANY radar mode. Using the trick where setting 2 things to the same keybind like that would toggle between them (works with camera modes) I’d immediately set one up for toggling between TWS and TWS GMTI.
