Redstar10 Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 When a F-18 fires a AIM-7M the target aircraft receives no launch warning. The bug only affects the AIM-7M. Shooting a AIM-7MH gives a launch warning. As demonstrated in the attached track files. Open Beta DCS 2.5.4.26368Aim7m no warning..trkAim7mh launch warning..trk
QuiGon Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 Well, is the target aircraft supposed to recieve a launch warning? The AIM-7 has no own radar, so how is the targets RWR supposed to recognize the launch? Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!
Redstar10 Posted January 17, 2019 Author Posted January 17, 2019 The RWR detects when the radar is providing semi-active missile guidance. If you watch both tracks. The AIM-7MH launch is detected by the RWR. The AIM-7M has a bug from a recent update and gives no warning.
abak Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 RWR doesn't detect launch when AI shoots AIM-7M at me In current OpenBeta there is no difference in RWR tones and symbols between these two situations: 1) An AI aircraft locks me up. 2) An AI aircraft shoots an AIM-7M at me. In Release version we used to receive higher tone when somebody shot at us, and enemy aircraft also used be displayed in the inner circle on RWR screen. This does not work in OpenBeta anymore. You can spot AIM-7M smoke visually, but RWR won't help you. I quickly checked that RWR works perfectly with other missiles. E.g. when I am against a Fulcrum, I first hear "lock" tone, and then I hear "launch" tone when he fires an R-27.sparrow_rwr_test.trk

abak Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 Already reported: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=229905I saw this one and figured it was different. In that topic, the target at which a Hornet driver shoots at does not receive a tone. Here the Hornet driver does not get a tone when somebody shoots at him. Still may have the same root cause in the code though.
Tholozor Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 It's the same issue, the targeted aircraft does not received a launch warning when an AIM-7M is fired at them, regardless of the launch platform or target aircraft.
