FrostLaufeyson Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Maybe a similar question to this thread, but I noticed that if an aircraft has ECM turned on, my radar can lock onto enemy aircraft on the ground even in SIL state. I've inadvertently locked onto air targets several times while on the ground, the last time I noticed was my teammates turning on ECM. Not sure if ECM is the main reason for this RADAR ECM BUG.trk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vlad_Mig Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 While being on the ground I pressed the undesignate button and got the lock on the aircraft ahead. Can't give a track because the file size is too big even for a 10 second replay. Got this issue in a multiplayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hulkbust44 Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 No problem here. Pressing NWS steps to the next trskcifle, and you have a trackfile as an AOT for a jamming target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hulkbust44 Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 As a matter of fact, there are one or two real world clips where you can see this exact thing happen.Ther *is* a bug here though. The B-sweep is fixed at 0 ATA, the radar being silenced should not stop the sweep. (Easily observable in cockpit videos) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vlad_Mig Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 While taxing on the runway I presse NWS button and the target was designated despite the A/A mode hadn't been selected. Track isn't long but the size is pretty big because It was caught in the multiplayer. Just scroll until the moment where I move to the runway. https://disk.yandex.ru/d/dobt262vhpSSMg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tholozor Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 (edited) Designating L&S isn't dependent on A/A master mode, but the underlying issue has already been reported.

Can't open the post. The L+S designation/stepping with WoW is actually correct if that's what it's talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tholozor Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 (edited) I was more going towards since we can only step through radar trackfiles at the moment (until we have the ability to step MSI offboard tracks), the trackfiles should time out or remain offboard on the ground while the radar isn't emitting. If the radar track is still in memory after WonW then it's all good.

The radar dosen't emit, but the reciever is still energized to receive incoming radar emissions. Hence the onboard track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Team BIGNEWY Posted April 19, 2022 ED Team Share Posted April 19, 2022 Hi, to follow up on this I have a replay from the team. In SIL mode and on the ground, radar works only for receiving. If the target emits interference, then the radar sees it. This is correct as is. thank you 1 Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

Tholozor Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Nope, nothing to add; didn't know about the radar's reception ability for AOTs with WonW.

Perhaps MP makes a difference. Here's what my radar does (latest OB, tested in SP only): WonW puts the radar on stby. Maltese cross is showing, scan stops. I had a ST lock on a friendly when approaching a runway on short final. Stayed in A/A and maintained the lock till touchdown. About 4secs after WonW, the lock disappeared, radar went to stby and the contact changed into D/L fed symbol. Same radar behavior before T/O. All my tests were from hot starts though, if that makes any difference. I also pressed NWS button numerous times with WonW, same. Next, I tried jamming bandit. Going head on against a Flanker with jamming pods. He turned them on fairly close and his ST jumped into a AOT dugout. I pressed SIL and the radar behaved similar to previous tests. All contacts turned D/L only, AOT disappeared. I remember providing a track a while back showing the issue with radar on the ground creating a track when NSW button was pressed. Not anymore though.

The second press silences the radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
