AWACS Program

[chouclak]

Hi everybody !

 

I would like to know if a program / mod exist to be real player awacs ? I know SRS for the awacs comms but for the screen.

 

Thanks !!

No mods that i am aware of....most use the F10 map for the function .

E2 Hawkeye simulator

 

I am in late stages of building a simulator of the back seat of the E-2 Hawkeye, which is currently in alpha with my squadron, the 16AGR. If you want to join the squadron and only play when I am running the server (there is currently only one copy in circulation at present, because the database is not yet multi-tenant), then fine, otherwise, I invite you to look at the screenshot below and await the beta release, which may or may not come before the Tomcat.

 

For obvious reasons, being that it flies off US carriers for the US Navy, it only works with Blue, and is much better suited for carrier defence operations over sea, than air to ground operations.

 

Functionality currently implemented:

1. Mission time;

2. Unit tracking for air and rotary;

3. Multiple location formats - lat, lng (deg, min, sec & decimal), utm, mgrs

4. 40/20nm range scale on lh side varies with zoom;

5. Handles the world - so all four dcs maps;

6. Map matches hawkeye displays from public sources, as best as I can;

7. Unit selecting, which populates primary window, with location and target identity data;

8. Bullseye shows on map as blue target icon;

9. Bra and bullseye data for calls;

10. Unit hooking;

11. Callsign comes through for players in JTIDS equipped platforms (modern US ones);

12. Callsign, unit type can be amended by client;

13. JTN can be allocated by user and displays next to unit icon on map;

14. Label giving basic unit data (callsign, JTN, course, speed altitude) on mouse hover;

15. Can be used by multiple clients simultaneously with user amendments flowing through from one to all;

16. Map refresh rate stable at ~5 seconds;

17. And some other stuff I cannot think of at the moment.

 

 

Lots of features still to add, but the current version provides a pretty intense experience in multi/multi player air-to-air engagements, and would seem to add considerable value to the flyers, in terms of situational awareness, which is the whole point of the platform.

Sgray - do you have any former E2 backseaters in your squadron, as I really need help on the deeper functionality - ie to understand what the buttons at the top do! Many thanks. Durham

That looks superb.

I think we might have someone that can provide some insight. I will get back to you via PM.

Mule - You are welcome to a demo if that would be of interest. Let me know.

[Durham]

sgray - That sounds great - have been looking for an SME for some months without success. Look forward to hearing from you.
