Upcoming RDI Radar changes

[Azrayen]

Yes, this is more or less what is said in the linked topic :)

Locked fine online with PIC, but i lost the lock few seconds before the 530 could hit the target. Is this normal or possibile?

If the target is above you then you shouldn't lose lock

 

You can lose lock only when target is ether Notching you but he has to go at the 90 degree angle from you and below you by getting masked by the ground and using side effect of doppler radar

 

The doppler Notch

[Conroy]

No, it was a good lock (on my 11 level), and i've had the time to switch on the Magic as soon as i've lost my lock with 530, so it wasn't notching me.

 

It was locking me at the same time, and probably it was also releasing chaff but my 530 was really close to hit.

 

However i don't have taken the track, so my fault here....

[Voodooflies]

PIC is still very sensitive to break, even at lower altitudes than target (look up), tested on <51> server.

This have been stated before but remember the update has only been made for the Open beta.

 

And most MP servers dont operate the Open beta so it might cause some problems if you are running Open beta but the server does not.

If the versions are different then you're playing you won't even be able to see the servers in multiplayer

 

And plus I tested these issues in SP not MP

[mattebubben]

Actually you are able to see the Non Open beta servers when playing on this Open beta version.

 

And you are actually able to join them as well with no directly obvious problems

but as the server does not have the Open beta changes its possible there are Incompatibilities that are not obvious.

 

And i was not talking to you specifically but rather those that mentioned doing the testing in MP.

Since when?

 

And even if that happens they your game files don't change the actual code is still there so that's really stupid that you can do that and it doesn't really make a difference in the end

[mattebubben]

I cant say since when all i can say is me and others using the latest Open Beta Client version have been able to see and play on server that do not use this open beta Version.

 

And you do have the changes like the ability to use 4x magics and that you no longer have the ED missiles aswell as the other changes made in the open beta version.

 

And it felt to me like the radar was working much better then in the older versions but i cant say 100% that it worked as well as in SP thats why i mentioned it.

[Conroy]

Yes, in single it works better. I don't know if this problem could be related (also) to the lag problem we have online, but really is too easy lost the lock also with PIC. The target is usually an F-15C (104th first of all).

[QuiGon]

Since when?

 

It is possible sometimes. It depends on the specific differences of the two versions. Currently it is possible to see servers running the stable release version while using the beta version. Joining them is not possible atm though, because the game will crash upon loading (at least that's the case for me). It was possible 2-3 weeks ago though, where both branches were on different versions too. The next time both versions get upgraded it can already be a different situation (e.g. joining servers are not visible or joining will be posible again).

But like mattebubben said, even if joining is possible it can lead to unexpected problems.

 

Edit: I'm only talking about situations, where the open beta branch is one version ahead of the stable release branch.

Its not the case for me and many others.

 

For example the 104th does not use the Open beta version.

 

Yet there are many in this thread playing on that server with the Open beta Version.

That's interesting. It is possible that this depends on the server, or rather the mission (because of specific units/scripts/... that might cause problems). Is anyone able to join the BlueFlag server with the Open Beta atm? Because I can't.

Interesting, i play with beta.

 

I didn't know this, thank for the tip.

i have been playing on 104th and 337's server useing the beta version of the mirage works fine last long time all the 1.5.3 "UPDATES" have worked.

Yes, with the current version, it sometimes crashes on the first attempt. I know it's not advised but while it works I want to use the most up to date version:music_whistling:

[T_A]

I`m using the open beta mirage 2000c folder on the release version at the moment , works just fine.

[Harke]

i'm at 15000 and tanker same , radar cone far below the target on PID in this case (1.5.3 u5 and u6 )

Zeus what is the status on the elevation issues? i downloaded the update today and it still seem the elevation is moving WAY to far. and if you roll right and left it goes WAY up and WAY down and when the lock breaks your left with number like -250 -200 on the elevation. still doesnt stop me from smashing on people but anyone more then 10 miles out is a waste of time to try and tws.

Trying to find out what is happening.

damn fast, good luck to you sir and nice work otherwise. just that one pesky one.

[Rlaxoxo]

I just went out for a sortie on a MP server and surprisingly I didn't have much issues with radar

 

The lock hold stable for both PID (TWS) and PIC (STT) 1 S530 got spoofed by chaff but then the 2nd one hit the target all while maintaining lock

 

Only issue I seam to have is with the PID ...

The relative closure rate was constantly decreasing and I needed to use PIC to get correct closure rate

[SixthFall]

yeah, the elevation still is somewhat wonkey, but the 530's are a viable weapon now! YAY!!

[Cantiga]

Sector Search in PID seems odd.

Once you've locked the target, radar starts scanning opposite side of target and lock breaks.
