Changes to radar or something else?

[gavagai]

I looked at the change log and couldn't find anything about what I have observed.

 

Last year I made a quick mission for the Mig-21 on the Nevada map. Just take off and shoot down 2 F-5s to the South. I have flown this dozens of times and I know exactly what to expect (it is not supposed to be complicated).

 

Now, with the same mission, the same F-5s do not appear on radar until just before the merge. Before they would appear at 30km out, as expected.

 

Did the F-5 change? Did the Mig-21 radar change? Thanks for your help.

Mig21s radar is acting weird. Apparently fixed internally, and probly the fix will show up for us next patch...

[gavagai]

Ok, good to know! Thanks.

Was writing an Email to the LN Team, asking about when the next patch will come out.

They said probably already this weekend, so lets hope that this will be true :)

Various issues not fixed yet, like the detection problem AoA causing it, inverted symbols, DLZ cues for R3R and the problem that you can see target which are on "late activation" status and have not been activated yet. These i can confirm not yet fixed or implemented.

But ill wait .

Found the same problem, i've just started flying the 21 again after months without flying at all and found three issues already:

 

1) Radar not showing contacts beyond 15km

 

2) Radar lock sound OFF until the target reaches the launch zone (then sound is ok as it used to be)

 

3) No chaff/flares after pressing the drop button. I make sure everything is set right (switches, cap removal, default 32/32 load, etc) and still nothing.

 

 

Has anyone experienced issue n°2?

It's so sad, unable to find a horde of B 52s

Expecting fix on next patch

Did you remember to attach the ASO 2 pod?

Yesterday on the 104th server I did detected airbone targets. Didn't lock as I was flying with IR.

So to me looks that is working again.

Hmmm how far out did you see the target? For me my eyes are a much better radar than what I have in my mig21. Im now started just loading IR rockets because before I can get a lock I would already be dead, the RADAR just won't catch my targets.

I can say one third from the botton

I can confirm this bug. I hadn't flown the MiG-21 in a while, and so I started by going back to the AA missile training mission, and the radar actually worked fine in that. It also seems to work in a few of the basic practice missions that I have where the planes fly mostly straight ahead.

 

Where I'm finding this problem is when I put together a mission and the target is moving and evading...or for that matter in the head-on aspect the radar seems to be unable to show a target until they are very close. On the other hand, when I've caught a target from behind, it seems to find them. But it can't seem to find other planes from the front and side aspect.

 

Dunno if that helps with any of the troubleshooting

[Elwood]

I did spot something one our ago, friendly flight, f15 5 miles ahead for 2 seconds. It doesn't work definitely, we are blind!!!

 

 

Hopefully they will fix it for the 1.5 and bring back the whole Mighty 21 on the 2.0 before the most probable enemy is coming out, the Tiger!

[BadHabit]

There is a fix coming guys. Probably next patch. But the problem is not the detection. Migs radar needs about 15 secs to make a full scan, the problem is where the radar is looking related with your nose position and aoa.

Thanks for your reply. As i said, everything is set up right, ASo 2 pod loaded with default chaff/flares 32/32, switches on, drop cover removed and pressing button for many seconds. It won`t work.

 

I'll wait for next patch, many VITAL things have to be fixed in the 21; now it's unflyable during combat, it's handicapped.

I shall call this patch.... Death Of The Delta Wings. M2000C is also unusable. :(

Thanks for the update, I almost bought it just to get a plane with a useful radar until leatherneck pulls their fingers out and patch this shit. I refuse to buy the F15C. Arrrgh, just when I started playing again things just had to be bugged as hell. Got dammit:cry:. And now my Il2 BoS doesn't work anymore, no combat sims for me to play. Think Im gonna pull out my old Amiga 500 soon, atleast that old machine and games is still reliable.

I may or may not have gone so far as to reinstall Third Wire products. >_>
