The British did some serious redevelopment work on the Falklands Islands following the war. It's not quite as simple as adding a runway and a building or two. I liked SUNSATG's solution to include all airfields and then have the mission creator remove individual areas as necessary.
-
I've voted yes but I'd still like to see the temporary airstrips used by the British / Argies on the map. The temp airfield at Goose Green for example is a must.

Lifted straight from the 2011 NATOPS;

Ah, gotcha. I have custom liveries for the Mirage but so far as I can remember in that mission it's just a default Mirage with a French skin.

It may be throwing up a different error code but I assure thee the result is identical to what OP described. It's the same no matter what mission I do this with. RWR_TEST_M2000.miz

Seems I've been blessed with this bug in the OB update today. Log attached below. dcslog.zip

reported RWR not showing locked radars in Search mode
al531246 replied to Aries144's topic in Bugs and Problems
I'm in disbelief myself that this still hasn't been fixed. -
IPPC-227 FDS = Interim Power Plant Change - 227 Fast Deceleration Solenoid. I'm finding documents mentioning it as far back as 2006. I'm assuming given how long it's been since 2006 and the fact that your flight manual excerpt even mentions it that it's been implemented in the real jet. https://www.dacis.com/budget/_budget_pdf/FY07/PROC/N/0514.pdf

Nozzles should be set to 10° on the takeoff roll. Once you reach your NRAS (Nozzle Rotation Airspeed) you set your nozzles to 1 of 3 settings; 50, 55 or 60. Your NRAS can be no higher than 160 knots IAS. You have to do some maths to figure out which setting you use but first some definitions; Hover Weight - maximum weight the engine can lift, limited by ambient temp and JPT. Gross Weight - the total weight of the aircraft with you in it You put these two together to get a ratio; Gross Weight : Hover Weight If the ratio is less than 1.32 - Nozzles to 60° If the ratio is between 1.32 and 1.48 - Nozzles to 55° If the ratio is more than 1.48 - Nozzles to 50° Some charts to go with this info;

Post some screenshots / reference images to show what you're on about. I can't say I've noticed this myself.

F-18 never shows as "18" on RWR, only as "unknown".

Daniel, you already mentioned this bug and I responded to you with the answer. https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3618821&postcount=4 -
Oh okay. Well the ALR69_param.lua defines what each threat emitter looks like on the RWR display. i.e. it makes the F/A-18C appear as an 18, or a SA-10 appear as a 10. RAZBAM will eventually add it I'm pretty sure. lol, I'd do it for free! I already tried forcing the RWR symbols into the lua a while back, it didn't seem to make any difference. You'll notice on line 238 of EW_Page_00.lua (Mods\aircraft\AV8BNA\Cockpit\MPCD\indicator\EW) there's a reference there to RWR symbology. I tried forcing the symbols into there but it didn't make any difference.

[FIXED with HOTFIX 3] 2.5.3 openbeta crash(Nevada and Persian gulf)
al531246 replied to Sonoda Umi's topic in Game Crash
The solution of post #182 worked. Thank you! Loaded into Blueflag Persian Gulf first time with no issues. I've attached my log just in case it is of use. dcslog.zip -
A couple more HUD RWR symbols, this time from the HUD of a GR.7 on HMS Invincible / Illustrious.

Sort of. The system you're referring to is called the ARI. 23333, or as it's better known - Zeus. The main differences between it and the ALR-67 was the automatic countermeasure system and the MAWS. Only Zeus had those. Aside from that it was fairly similar. Also from what I've been told Zeus was a pile of shite! I will add that British stuff remains classified for a long time, even if it's long been outdated. The MoD are tighter than a ducks arse for releasing information. To give you an example I've got an RAF Tornado GR.4 weapons manual, the yellow bands around AIM-9's to indicate they're live was redacted and deemed secret. The same for acceptable laser codes on a GBU-10/12. Information for both of those can be easily found on the web.
-
This is also for the ALR-67, notice how the bands are in reverse. You're asking me a question that I myself would like to know the answer to. The thing is it happens. Why assume? Why not put in the research, get in touch with people who know the answer and get a correct simulation?

Found more HUD RWR footage, this time from RAF Harrier's. Look at the top you'll see the RWR lines but not the symbols. 2 of them will be the Goalkeeper CIWS and one will be the Type 1022 search radar. There's a goalkeeper on the bow and another on the stern but below deck level. Some more, this time from the Spanish. This video has some excellent footage of RWR page. 2:25 - First threat appears 2:41 - Flies over a friendly airbase and you see the threat move about the display Found another HUD RWR image as well, this time with an 'F' And another one with a '16'

#4 is the key point I previously wasn't aware of. That really mixes things up for the stem 'block'. If we assume the 'block' means friendly emitter then this is most confusing. If this is an SA-2 symbol then the 'block' almost certainly doesn't represent a friendly. #5 is a possibility. On the Hornet with the ALR-67(V)2, yes absolutely. On the Harrier with the ALR-67(V) this isn't the case. I am yet to see one Harrier manual (or ALR-67(V)) manual explain the meaning of each style of lollipop. Just because the Hornet's manual says it's dashed, doesn't mean the Harrier's is too. ? They're clearly not. They're the same size as a critical threat cue with the F/A-18 emitter cue having the 'block'. This is true. Until we get actual documentation on this particular system the best we can do is extrapolate from what we see.
-
I don't think the "2" is an SA-2 for a number of good reasons. Namely if we assume this is a hostile SA-2 why would the pilot be mucking about filming it in the middle of a combat mission? Furthermore if we assume the 'block' means friendly then you'd have to believe the SA-2 is marked as friendly in the ALR-67's threat library! However if the Harrier was operating in a naval exercise, which it almost certainly was, it's not unreasonable to believe it's an E-2 Hawkeye, the naval AWACS. I should mention when I say "some sort of IFF at play" I don't mean a literal wired connection between the IFF system and the EW suite. I'm talking a more generalized 'in the style of IFF', i.e. identified via threat library. This is one of the reasons why I marked the dashed stem as non-lethal in post #25. I don't believe the dashed stem represents a lethal threat but I can't prove it. The documentation for HUD RWR in the Hornet says a dashed is lethal but every piece of reference material I have suggests a dash is a non-lethal (in the Harrier). The problem with this is I am yet to see a short stem on a Harrier's HUD or EW display. I've read every manual that's available to the public, I've got numerous references images and I've watched more than a dozen hours of footage. I've never seen a short stem. If anyone has an image / video of one I'd really like to see it, post it here or PM it to me if you think it's super classified. I will continue to search for any more material I can get my hands on, I'll try and find some ex-RAF Harrier pilots as well. I think ultimately only they will know the truth short of us getting hold of the documentation.

In RAZBAM's update video they mentioned the possibility of either doing a Mirage III or the IAI Dagger. I've got a fair few manuals and performance charts for the Mirage III so I thought I'd dump them here as can anyone else who wishes to do so. I've uploaded the documents to Mega and Google Drive.
