AIM-9X heat sensor + Helmet visor + TWS

[...]

I'm having multiplayer issues with the AIM-9X's helmet and heat sensor. They do not detect the heat source of targets within 2 miles, even at the junction. This happens randomly. I am using TWS radar mode.

 

 

Just to clear doubts, YES, I am using lock / unlock

Try reproduce that in SP. Save the track and upload it here.

I'm confused are you using TWS or JHMCS, because the HAQC mode isn't TWS and you will struggle to use TWS at 2NM

I use TWS to identify, block, select the target. Once identified and locked up simple, I turn on JHMCS, and prepare the attack, four miles, no tone, three miles, no tone, two miles, no tone, evasive start, I fire flares, crossing, half a mile, I aim my helmet, there is no tone, the sensor does not detect the heat source. This happens randomly, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.

Ok, I am going to test it and attach the playback track, the problem is that this is very difficult to reproduce, because sometimes it crashes and sometimes it works. It is an occasional thing.

So it sounds like you are relying solely on TWS to cue the 9x, which isnt really going to work at ranges that close, you will need to either switch to HAQC and STT the target, or use the helmet to cue the sensor (TWS has nothing to do with that)

Here you can see the procedures that I follow, in this case everything works fine. As I say, it is something difficult to reproduce, because the failures are very occasional.

I don't think you understand me. No one would fire an AIM-9X without identifying the aircraft in front of them in a mixed good and bad situation. I have to use radar to identify myself. When I say that I use TWS it is for reference, in case the combination of some radar modes, + the helmet + the AIM-9X may be causing conflicts. For informational purposes.

I've just watched you track, it looks like TWS has nothing to do with this. You are just using the JHMCS to cue the 9x seeker. As for why it would sometimes not work, I would have to see an example of it not working. It could be any number of things either bugs or limitations of the aircraft.

Thank you. And sorry for the English, I'm using a translator and it's already an effort for you to try to understand me, something I appreciate. Yes, it seems that there are times that the sensor stops working, there is already another thread that talks about this. Thank you very much for the help. If it happens again, I'll go up the track.

Does the JHMC have difficulty picking up helicopters? Trying to find them is difficult.

Here something identical, perhaps better explained.

radars in general in dcs have huge problem picking and following helis.

it seems like fit in the notch filter if they fly slow or hover, maybe dcs doesnt take the fast moving rotors into account for doppler effect.
