TSD Threat Rings

[lt_d4n]

according to the changelog: Yellow rungs indicate estimated detection range and red rings indicate estimated engagement range

in the mission editor the option to hide in mfd is not checked and activated to show the threats in the tsd, but once inside the cockpit, I do not see the red ring in tsd. am I missing something else?

Havent had a chance to try it.  But this is from OB update notes on how to see them.

 

• Add TSD Threat Rings. Threat rings are based on hostile air defence units placed in the Mission Editor that are not “Hidden on MFD”. To display, select TSD SHOW at T3, COORD SHOW at T6, and then PLANNED TGTS/THREATS at L5. Yellow rungs indicate estimated detection range and red rings indicate estimated engagement range. When enabled, threats will also be listed on the COORD page, COORD list.

yes, I did all that, I see the red radar symbol in the tsd, but I don't see the red ring that the changelog says, neither in the ase.

Will it refer to the range circles that appear in the editor?

You need to make sure that you go to the SHOW>COORD subpage and select 'Threats/Targets'. The rings then appear. Note that this is pre-selected in the ATTACK phase.

Note that this a different page than the SHOW>THREATS page, but it's a prerequisite of the threats being displayed on the TSD. Not entirely sure if that's 100% correct, but there is sound logic to it.

yes, I have selected for threats/targets to appear, but I don't see the rings...

let’s see if someone can put a screenshot with the rings.

Can't grab a screenshot now but they are definitely in. 

Make sure SHOW>COORD 'Threats/Targets' selected.

Make sure SHOW>THREATS 'Threats' selected.

What AvroLanc said.  COORD SHOW enables the display of the points themselves. THRT SHOW enables the display of the rings of the Target/Threats shown.

Are you so far in the ring, that you don't see it ? 

TSD is default 15 KM and that is low compared to most Sams

 

EDIT: Rings shows up for me fine.

this was what needed to be activated.  Now if I see the rings with a scale of 150.

thks!!

[admiki]

It needs both THREATS and COORD SHOW options selected

Thx.

One thing I also noticed: threats have to be within map range for rings to be visible.

Meaning you won't see the ring as you are approaching until the threat at the center of the ring is actually shown on the map?  Then the ring shows up and you realize you are already inside the range?

You don't have to be in range if you select map range that is more than threat range, but if you are at small map scale, yes, you are correct.

Yeah, that's how it is at the moment. Pretty sure it's a BUG. The Hornet's rings behaved that way until corrected. Hard to believe it should work that way.

One of IRL pilots confirmed it's a bug. Also, if you add a threat it should show threat rings, but it is not atm.
