[REPORTED] A-10c no radar lock warning tone

[cardboard_man]

The problem i am having is in the a10c i get no radar lock warning tone, from all ground based radar. I think airborne radar as well but i have not been able to test that. I can reproduce it every time i play whether its multiplayer or single player and i have a friend who also has the problem.

 

We are both using the steam version if that makes a difference and have tried reinstalling and repairing to no avail. We have never used any mods and out of the modules we own is only happening in the a10c.

 

I have included a track and the mission used in the track, i don't know if you will hear or rather not hear the problem when you watch it. I set the cmsp to auto and you can see it knows when you are locked as it starts dumping countermeasures like auto normally does but i get no lock tone.

Yeah, I can confirm that there was no rapid beeping to indicate radar lock in that track. The MWS worked and the aircraft started deploying chaff, but no lock was indicated before that.

 

Pretty serious bug.

Thanks guys, this is reported already.

Than can you please link/close my thread?

That seems to be identical.

I don't mean to sound demanding or impatient as i am sure you are busy with higher priority stuff. But it would be nice to have some idea when this may be fixed because it is a bit annoying trying to avoid fighters and attack sam sites without the lock warning. Also i did not mention this in the original post but everything worked normally in the 1.2xxxx versions.

I did some testing as it is a bug that does limit the aircraft a little in SAM environments. I found this seems to work as a fix...

 

backup the file first etc pls...

 

Go to:

 

Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Mods\aircraft\A-10C\Cockpit\Scripts\AN_ALR69V\device

 

File: ALR69_param.lua - use a decent txt editor like notepad++ or something to edit it...

 

This bit seems to be the problem.

 

DefaultLockSnd = SoundsPath .. "LockNewUS"

 

lock_sounds =

{

{EWR_1L13_, DefaultLockSnd},

{EWR_55G6_, DefaultLockSnd},

{S300PS_SR_5N66M, DefaultLockSnd},

{S300PS_SR_64H6E, DefaultLockSnd},

{RLO_9C15MT_, DefaultLockSnd},

{RLO_9C19M2_, DefaultLockSnd},

{Buk_SR_9S18M1, DefaultLockSnd},

{Kub_STR_9S91, DefaultLockSnd},

{Dog_Ear, DefaultLockSnd},

{Roland_rdr, DefaultLockSnd},

{Patriot_STR_ANMPQ_53, DefaultLockSnd},

{Hawk_SR_ANMPQ_50, DefaultLockSnd},

{S300PS_TR_30N6, DefaultLockSnd},

{RLS_5H63C_, DefaultLockSnd},

{RLS_9C32_1_, DefaultLockSnd},

{Hawk_TR_ANMPQ_46, DefaultLockSnd},

{S300V_9A82_, DefaultLockSnd},

{S300V_9A83, DefaultLockSnd},

{Buk_LN_9A310M1, DefaultLockSnd},

{BUK_LL_, DefaultLockSnd},

{Osa_9A33, DefaultLockSnd},

{Tor_9A331, DefaultLockSnd},

{Roland_ADS, DefaultLockSnd},

{Tunguska_2S6, DefaultLockSnd},

{ZSU_23_4_Shilka, DefaultLockSnd},

{Gepard, DefaultLockSnd},

{Vulcan_M163, DefaultLockSnd},

{S125_SR_P_19, DefaultLockSnd},

{S125_TR_SNR, DefaultLockSnd},

{DEFAULT_TYPE_, DefaultLockSnd},

 

Now note none of the aircraft radars are listed (they play the lock sound correctly right?), my .lua knowledge is crude but I think this part is causing a problem in that these specific lock sound entries, which in theory reference the exact same sound file, aren't playing correctly for whatever reason (i.e normal speed instead of rapid repeating). Those that aren't listed by name are playing correctly (air radars etc). I'm guessing they must be using the default_type. I deleted all entries apart from default_type (so those in red) to make them revert to the default sound and it worked... for me least...

 

Done a few quick tests and im getting locks sounds from most SAMs that use rdr now, not Tunguska though... I thought it would but maybe electro optical is used in preference... - need to check that.. I was using ECM at time... (had a look, seems the Tunguska tracking radar isn't modeled at all in DCS, I'm seeing the SRin the files and that's what you see in game, but no TR -it doesnt have one in DCS, it does have an EO tracking sensor though, so that explains no lock warning from S6 threats)

 

These entries don't seem to serve much purpose as I can figure anyway, perhaps they were intended to be added to later or modded to have individual sound cues for certain rdr types but that isnt being used...

 

I've attached the file with the fix too, save you editing etc if you want to test it out... install it to the directory mentioned at the top of the post etc.

I just did a quick test and that seems to have fixed it. Thanks for figuring that out.

[marcoacv]

Awesome, works fine. Thanks man!

[Oscar Juliet]

Well dang you are right. This fixes that issue. Didn't recognize it as one until you said something. Thank you for the amazing fix.

 

Test - SA 8 locked onto me without fix and no radar tone

Test - Mig 29 locked onto me without fix and i got a radar tone

 

Added fix and now I got radar tone from SA 8.

 

Use this fix!!

Seems fixed.I deleted the lua file and made a repair. Working now. No lock from Tunguska like said before it's optically guided.

[FalconPlot16]

i dont have this problem i always hear lock / track sound

[Gliptal]

Old issue, has been fixed for a while.

[Zarma]

Had troubles with the Shilka in the A10C. Didnt get any lock on the RWR.
