{{{closed, operator skill issue xD}}}[TWS-A][Test Mission][Single Player] Weird contact ghosting totally unable to keep TWS on track

[ivanwong1989]

Close topic, i think is my own skill issue in operating the awg9+jester. as well as prior expectations cause i was using tws in the f18 nicely. 

=================================================================================================

Scenario/Setup:

SP mission with 1 Mig-29 AI, hot towards player ship, at 30kft

Player ship starts at 20kft and hot towards enemy ship

Player ship uses radar auto/tws auto

Player ship observes radar track and f10 map of the real location of the enemy ship

 

Bug Description:

There seems to be an inaccurate track file present, or sometimes creating ghost contacts as well. 

No way to hold TWS track reliably to guide missile to terminal.

 

Here's the track file:

Make the mission with the Mig’s jammer locked out. FC3 jamming is…..goofy, OP, and makes the AWG-9 do some stupid stuff as opposed to just not building a track.

I've tried it a few times more.

I think it might not be a bug... i guess...

 

Since the target is maneuvering, it might have got into doppler blindspot. Hmm. And at that moment the track becomes an extrapolated track.

But then what I don't understand is, when the target got picked up again a moment later, why won't the extrapolated track become the newly picked up contact? 

 

I guess the question is, when a target track become and extrapolated track momentarily, is it basically a game over for that instance and that missile that is still in flight?

It depends.  It coasts the trackfile for a short time and if the target reappears within a certain distance of the coasted trackfile then the track is transferred.

Remember this is PRE pac-man level computer tech. 
 

The RIO does the actual thinking for the AWG-9.

It may help if you post the mission as well, so we can experiment.

Closing topic as I think it is operator skill issue LOL.

 

Im expecting too much performance from jester + awg9. Was thinking in terms of f18 radar that picks up stuff reliably in tws.
