RWR receiving signals from F-15 with radar OFF in MP


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hello!

 

The following situation I had this evening during a multiplayer flight:

 

A Viggen was following a F-15 (both real players, not KI).

F-15: RADAR=OFF, ECM=OFF, flying straight ahead

Viggen: RADAR=ON, RWR=LJUS/LJUD, following the F-15

No other units were on the map.

 

In the Viggen I got signals from the 11 o'clock position.

 

Here are the pictures:

First, the F-15 flying in front of the Viggen

Second, the Viggen following the F-15

Does somebody have any info on this behaviour?

 

Kind regards,

Also with RADAR OFF

 

I recently noticed that this behaviour is also true if the RADAR of the Viggen is OFF. Initially I thought radar returns from the Viggens radar are caught by the RWR, but I was wrong. As can be seen on this picture, the RWR is still receiving radar spikes from the F-15, which is flying forward of the Viggen, and away from the Viggen.

What I can imagine is that the RWR - like in a cars' RWR - somehow "sees" any signal that is transmitted in any direction, not only hitting the own aircraft. But this would be against the information given in the manual.

 

Also, this behaviour is not only in MP as initially written, it also relates to SP.

 

Does somebody have any infos on this?

It's a bug. The RWR can also see through terrain.

 

sorry for the noob question, but this case is for the viggen or DCS entirely??
