Is the RWR complete?

[GumidekCZ]

It has been long time and Im out of patience. I thought It has been already reported.

Thing is that Hornet RWR is indicating radar lock even when hostile locked other a/c. This false alarm happens in any point of enemy radar search azimuth scan area. Altitude also doesnt matter - same bug, but in vertical.

Problem is not only that RWR is indicating lock aimed for another a/c, but that is indicating signal at all. If any radar is Locked (not TWS), it narrows in both axis its radar beam into slim cone. Therefore nobody in scan pattern at any altitude of the hostile radar shall have SPIKE (or even NAILS) other than locked a/c and other a/c in close formation or directly behind locked a/c.

There you have both track, one at same alt second with large altitude difference between locked a/c and me.

Third track is from Heatblurs F-14B, which is most acurate simulation of western RWR. It behaves almost as it should, except that NAILS also indicated even when vertical scan patern of Su-27 radar is not high enough to cover low dlying F-16 and me at very high alt at the same time.

I just red that report (didnt know it exist), but everybody is writing there about distance from locked plane. So seems to me as same bug, but mine report showing, that this is not a bug of AI radar use, but bug of RWR on each of aircraft here in DCS (dont have Harrier and Vigen, F-5), because when switched planes in this test, I get different RWR readings. What I know that no one of the rest of western planes has BUG-less RWR. Best RWR by HB F-14B - the NAILS there can be result of not correct radar search energy radiated by some DCS radars (dont know), ED has to investigate this. Tested on example with Su-27 and I was able to read indication on RWR at any position possible in scan zone capability of that radar, despite it can track in azimuth only 1/3 of its limits and in vertical only 10° angle(do not mislead this with scan limits). At the track file Su-27 is scaning area around F-16. So even there there is little bug I think.

Hi

 

we are investigating this, and as mentioned it maybe related to the MP report.

 

When I have some news I will pass it on.

 

thanks

REPORTED in 2019,

Today in DCS OB 2.7, year 2021, bug still presented Same BUG with RWR in F-16C. Please ED, correct this BUG ASAP, THX!

Same wrong RWR indications with SAM units locking others, my plane within roughly -+40° azimuth.

Would be nice if fake RWR sources show up on the display when other aircraft have their ECM on - just saying.

this has already been reported. 

 

Requires a significant amount of work to fix, I dont have any news to share currently

1 Year after: This MAJOR BUG and DCS FLAW is still present today and was not removed/fixed.

It posses major SITUATION AWARNESS confusion to pilot with FAKE RWR SIGNALS

This results in pilot situations where pilot in SAFE situation is dragged away from his intened actions and force him to react quickly to non-existing (far) threats. Which can sometimes spoil whole mission.

[GumidekCZ]

Its a reported bug, which they are trying to solve more than 2 years
