About EWR GCI

[Joni]

Hi folks!

 

I was wondering if in DCS the only system that provides us with radar contact information is the AWACS? Like if I put an EWR in place, will it act as a GCI?

 

Otherwise I wonder whats the point of having EWR in the game.

 

 

Thanks!

Yes, if you assign the task to an EWR, it will do it and act like a GCI

ok i didnt know that, cool.

 

however after doing so it appears in radio menu but nothing happens, im using f15

[razo+r]

place it down

 

in advanced waypoint settings, set task to GCI/EWR, then it should work

 

if not, tell the unit to set a frequency first

[Joni]

did both, nothing happens :(

[razo+r]

is it in the same coalition?

[Joni]

yes, otherwise it would not appear in the radio menu, its just nothing happens, no voice nor mine or his

[Joni]

place it down

 

in advanced waypoint settings, set task to GCI/EWR, then it should work

 

if not, tell the unit to set a frequency first

Just did some testing. Seems to be a bug.

 

Ground EWR is only working if the units are from a nation using the Russian style three digit callsigns.

Really? Thats too bad! Gci is a very realism maker
