Gun Camera
Introduction
The KB-3 gun camera on the sight, is an electrically driven, magazine-type, 16 mm motion picture camera that photographs the sight reticle and target simultaneously.
Warning
Due to current limitations in DCS the Gun Camera and Strike Cameras can only record when the view is in the cockpit.
Controls
Camera Selection Dial
This dial was originally the control for adjusting lighting conditions for bright, hazy, and dull but was repurposed for ease of gameplay and changed to which camera you would like to record with. The options of strike, gun, or both are available.
Camera Timer
When the gun camera is used during missile firing, a camera timer with two adjustable time intervals controls continued camera operation after the trigger is released. The first time interval, set before missile launch with the large timer knob, labeled START DELAY ADJUST, represents camera running time (from 4 to 30 seconds) from trigger release to start of the second time interval. The second time interval represents camera running time (from 2 to 30 seconds) after completion of the first time interval, and is usually set by the ground crew with the small timer knob, labeled PRESET RUN TIME. Total camera run time after release of the trigger is the total of both time interval settings (6 to 63 seconds) including the preset overrun time of 0 to 3 seconds. You can turn these dials to adjust the setting or change them in the special options menu.
