Flankers Datalink Bugs


Recommended Posts

There is a bug where contacts that are in direct visibility and are not obscured by terrain from AWACS do not appear at all on datalink (while being called out by this very AWACS) Also contacts that are visible at some point in time dissapear from DL for no reason ( same altitude, speed and direction and in direct AWACS visibility moment after dissapearing from DL screen. And well within detection range and parameters) To reappear random time after that(few dozens of seconds to few minutes) when at the moment of  subsequent appearance its detection parameters are already deteriorated. That goes for both friendlies and bandits.  

Happens on Su-27,Su-33,J-11A.

We have noticed this for a long time, seems like its some kind of notch-gate effect from the AWACS, but yeah should not be happening like that.

More so contacts do not appear on datalink wnen are fed to F10 page by this same AWACS in Fog Of War mode.

Another bug is that Aim-54 is not being shown on the data link most of the times when  shot from Tomcat at allmost same range from AWACS and same ange(aspect), altitute and speed of the Tomcat at the moment of the launch do not differ to any significant margins. Yet more than half of the times missile is not shown on the Datalink. Just to let you guys know about this bug too when you will be fixing Datalink. I can make another bug report with attached track if needed.

AIM-54s really shou;dnt be showing up on DL unless the F-14 is very close to the AWACS, the fact that they did so a few patches ago was a bug, and they fixed it

@dundun92  Made my day lol. Enlighten us poor red peasants please how close to AWACS  should it become visible? And how often? Every time in met conditions or every other time or less?)  You crearly know exact ranges and conditions better than ED team could ever guess))).  I`m all ears man. Dazzle me 😂

The ED team said it was a mistake, and fixed it. Wheres your proof of the "exact ranges and conditions" again? Im not the one to convince here, its you trying to convince ED to undo the bug they fixed

What kind of mistake are you talking about exactly?

That AAMs had such a large RCS and were too easily detectable by radars, specifically AWACSs and the F-18 radar

 @dundun92Made some tests today. It appears on Datalink as far as 117 km away from AWACS thus gets picked up by it) Nothing realy strange or wrong about it. It`s a fat flying log the size of mini jet anyways) The only thing wrong with it is that is does not pick it up allways at met conditions. Will test for bigger distances. 

But i`d like to see link to that ED statement:

If you wach the track file you`ll see that there are no issues with terrain interference in my report. In fact AWACS and all the contacts are placed that way so that terrain would not be a factor at all in this particular example. There are two dozens of fighter jets in the sky. Visually it appears  that there is some kind of deliberate randomization taking place on the datalink screen that contradicts AWACS readings and feedback that it messages to allied flights. Is there any disagreement about this issue? Hope we`re on the same page with this one.

Thanks.

Still there's a problem with datalink working fine through the terrain and it should be fixed anyway. 


Its nothing new , this including other FC3 issues have been reported for years . Unless a game breaking bug appeared over an update , dont expect anything to happen to FC3 anytime soon at all.

Bug that i`m talking about has nothing to do with terrain. And i couldn`t find any previous bug reports considering this particular bug. ED says that thay ARE fixing FC3 bugs.

Are you responsible for this bug fix? Coz it`s sounded like you are the person  in position to make such statements.

@FlappieBug  is  abservable right from the beginning of the msission when AWACS messages me about bandits but they do not appear on datalink way too long after refresh time.

i`m aware aof AWACS turning issues. This one happens when it is Not turning but flying straight`,)
