TWS-A to RWS on AIM-54 launch

[MBot]

I know this is a know issue, but I couldn't find the appropriate threat to put this in.

 

I have the impression that HB was so far not able to reproduce the bug where the AWG-9 switches from TWS-A to RWS when launching an AIM-54, thus loosing the missile.

 

Attached is a small sample mission with which I can 100% reproduce the problem. In this mission, there is a Backfire ahead of you which will launch an AS-4 missile. Try to destroy the AS-4 with a AIM-54.

 

Steps to reproduce (all from the pilot seat):

1. Switch radar to 200 NM range

2. Switch radar elevation to 70'000 ft at 75 NM distance

3. Switch radar to TWS

4. Wait a little for the AS-4 to appear on radar (at 80'000 ft) and for a TWS track to be generated. Should take about a minute.

5. Launch AIM-54

 

For me, upon AIM-54 launch the radar goes to RWS every time.

 

Hope that helps with this bug.

Can't reproduce. Works fine for me.

I launched the Phoenix at the incoming missile, the radar switched from TWS-M to TWS-A and tracked the missile untill it passed over my head and the radar lost it. I commanded it back to RWS at that point.

See attached trackfile.

 

Edit: Maybe this is a Jester issue? I flew as RIO only. The AWG-9 should not ever switch to RWS on its own, but maybe Jester commands it back to RWS way too early?

As mentioned in my post, this is reproduced from the pilot seat and not as RIO.

You're right, I didn't notice that.

In that case this is definitely a Jester issue, not a radar issue.

 

Edit: How are you able to do those things from the front pit btw? :huh:

Jester menu has those instructions.

Damn really? I didn't know you can give him such detailed commands. I never fly with him (I very rarely fly on the front seat at all, usually only to train newbie RIOs).
