[REPORTED]Missile launch warning

[Ahmed]

Hello,

 

On previous OB versions I remember the RWR triggering missile launch warnings when the player himself was not the target but was close enough to the target. Although this was in part bugged as it would happen also in extreme situations when the player was miles and miles away, this was the first time on a PC sim that the RWR was modeled more in depth and wasn't working as a magic instrument.

 

Testing some script I was working on, I noticed that this behavior has changed and the RWR no longer gives 'spurious' missile launch warnings even when flying closely behing the target, when it should for most guidance types.

 

Lock tone, however, is triggered on the player's aircraft, which is correct but incongruent.

 

Track attached.

I'm pretty sure it's still working, at least to some extent. I had my RWR giving me a lock warning (or a full missile launch warning, I don't remember) a week ago, while an SA-11 was engaging a friendly Tomcat in MP.

Lock warning it gives but missile launch warning it does not anymore (or at least I couldn't manage in the several attempts of recording the track). That's what I reported. It 'magically' knows if your airplane is the target or the one a couple tenths of feet away is. Before it worked as you said.

If we have to choose, I much prefer it this way than before with the spurious warnings.

Hi all

 

We do have some RWR issues reported which are most likely related to this.

 

I have marked it reported.

 

Thank you
