Ktulu2 Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 Hum...You can lock targets without problem and highly doubt they actually changed the FC-style radar in any way. I do DCS videos on youtube : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAs8VxtXRJHZLnKS4mKunnQ?view_as=public
Lt_Maverick Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 With the new beta F-15 cast massive shadows will not lock to radar targets Where have you seen this? Hate to ask the obvious but which scanning mode are you in? What is the width of the cone? How about height? Thank you.

vegue Posted November 11, 2015 Posted November 11, 2015 I noticed that in the latest version, the F-15C's radar isn't as powerful as in some old versions of this game. Radar won't see targets until they come within ~50 NM; and won't lock until within ~25 NM. "BVR" combat isn't that "B" ("beyond"). You can barely see the bandits with naked eyes when you launch the AIM-120.

The best way to display your concern is to video capture your issue so the devs can see what the circumstances were.

scott5134 Posted November 14, 2015 Author Posted November 14, 2015 F-15 Will not lock from TWS to focus target, worked great before 1.5 Here is an example of the shadow, when close to ground the AC shadow is a dot compared to the HUD. No issue in in older version, Shadow set at LOW
pr1malr8ge Posted November 14, 2015 Posted November 14, 2015 Havent payed attention, how ever by looking at that picture, you're seeing the panel and hud reflection on the canopy glass and not the ground. For the WIN [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]If your desired effect on the target is making the pilot defecate his pants laughing then you can definitely achieve it with a launch like that.
LuSi_6 Posted November 14, 2015 Posted November 14, 2015 shadows are on your canopy, not on the ground. For Radar lock, try turning your Radar ON 1 :pilotfly: Warthog HOTAS, Saitek Pedals, Oculus Rift :joystick:

falcon_120 Posted November 14, 2015 Posted November 14, 2015 Come on, it was just a little joke to cheer the saturday up :)
scott5134 Posted November 14, 2015 Author Posted November 14, 2015 I have actually worked fighter radar for over 20 years, do not need a jerk answer, worked fine in earlier version
Ktulu2 Posted November 14, 2015 Posted November 14, 2015 I have tested it and it works fine for me. Maybe check your mappings? I do DCS videos on youtube : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAs8VxtXRJHZLnKS4mKunnQ?view_as=public
fixen Posted November 14, 2015 Posted November 14, 2015 (edited) Could you post a trackfile of this? Edited November 14, 2015 by fixen

No issue in in older version, Shadow set at LOW You have to turn the radar on then toggle TWS. I think I turns on radar and r shift+I toggles radar. - & = adjusts range I believe (I forget because I have mine set on my joystick).

winchesterdelta1 Posted November 14, 2015 Posted November 14, 2015 There is something fishy going on with the radar. I said it form the start. It happens the most with high targets. No matter what you do you can not find them. I tried all PRF modes and scanned from high to low to be sure i'm not mistaken where he comes frome. I did this flying level and also by pointing my nose up and down from the direction i think he comes from. Low targets i could find easily even if they pop in and out of mountain valley's to try and stay hidden. But the guy's coming from high at a steep angle can not be found by my radar. Even when i see their contrails when descending. The only way to lock them is when they are within 10nm with vertical scan. Maybe i'm doing something really wrong with the radar operation. But i think this guy is right and there is something going on with the radar. Also something to think about: Most good fighters in F-15 and sometimes SU-27's are fighting from heights up to 40+ since 1.5. Especially the 99th. They are on to something.. i know it :p But i have no problem with locking people. I i can see them on radar i can lock them. Go in close, and when you think you are too close, go in closer.

Especially the 99th. They are on to something.. i know it :p :megalol: :megalol: :thumbup: I wish!:D But we're really not onto anything, I (and most 99th) just don't buy into the usual low altitude stuff in MP with the F-15. I'd rather fly 25-35,000ft above you and fling Poo (actually, AMRAAMs ;)) at you from ~10nmi. PS: angels 34-37 is the best for accelerating (per the -220 charts) Edited November 15, 2015 by Sweep Changed some stuff. Lord of Salt
7rooper Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 Chill out...! we all tried to lock a target without the radar ON the first time... btw, I hope those canopy shadows to be removed.
