I wouldn't consider the RWR to have an "Effective Range"......regardless of what the emitter is, if THAT has enough range to emit radar that hits the F16 RWR, it will show up. RW Receivers are on both Front and back of the F16 with blind spots on top and bottom. Remember, the RWR is a Receiver...not an emitter. Looks like the receiver supports scanning in the 6-20GHZ Low/High band ranges. As far as Emitter support, I would guess anything in DCS with an active radar would show up whether identified or Unknown. If you are looking for a list, check the F16 Manual page 594.

Finishing up an escort mission for a defected pilot. Just got done doing a SEAD mission for SA10's , 11's and Snow Drifts to create a clear path for the escort.

Great response, Couple things: I wasn't aware of how long the FLIR should have been. (RTFM Issue) IMO, doesn't make sense to totally kill the Litening.....they just need to adjust the zoom levels of the litening and it would be more accurate as the Sniper XR has a bump in distance...right now its the other way. IMO it seems easier to do minor QOL fixes(ATP Weight inaccuracies, Reduce Litening zoom) rather then spending more money/time on a new/older TGP... Scramble Mode - This would be great, has there been any official announcement on this? "As far as "IR+TV" to see through clouds".....Again...RTFM issue. I think there is miscommunication on the battery thing. Its not when the munition is "in flight"...this is referring to just sitting on the ground for 40 minutes while you powered on the Mav, or Harm and not utilizing it for an additional 20 minutes when flying the sortie. There is limited time the missile can be powered on "before launch" (30 Minutes of video). Currently I believe that is infinite.

There has been a lot of discussion around the current state of the targeting pods available to the F-16. I was wondering if ED has some plans on the roadmap for adjusting the ATP to have a further zoom than the legacy TGP, or have it be able to properly focus using the focus option? One thing with the Legacy TGP is that it zooms 5x further than the sniper pod currently (4x zoom) and it has a significantly better clarity overall. This isn't the case in any IRL scenario, the Sniper is supposed to be leaps and bounds better than the litening TGP right? but most people are finding the long warmup time and lack of clarity/zoom of the ATP to be less desirable than just swapping back to the Litening and staying with that. I understand that the ATP warmup time is said to be realistic, which is fine, but dropping to a solid 5 minutes would make the game much better. I mean we don't make everything "realistic" in DCS right? for example the HARM/MAV..etc.. batteries just run forever rather than having the limited runtime they would have IRL. It would be a solid QOL update to drop the warmup time to something less than 10 minutes for the many that don't typically do hot starts. It would be great to use the ATP in a non-TV-XR/WHOT-N/W-XR mode to see any clear picture. Especially in the integrated IR mode. I added an image of the integrated mode. From what I understand this was supposed to be IR+TV? like, you can see through clouds possibly? (someone keep me honest here), but this appears to simply be WHOT in TV mode and its extremely blurry at 8.7nm and clouds still very much block visibility. The focus mode can be set to blurry, or more blurry, but at any different distance it really doesn't do much? Not complaining, just trying to see if I am just crazy for thinking the ATP should have much better optical resolution than the Litening pod.

what time does the update usually go live?

Any updates on the status of QA?
