Nahen Posted January 25, 2023 Posted January 25, 2023 After the update, the radar in the F-15C went crazy. After switching to TWS mode, the target icon does not change after locking the target, there is no information about the speed, azimuth, height of the target. It is not known whether one or more targets are locked. The marker on the HUD does not show the actual position of the target. 1
JabsDabbin Posted January 25, 2023 Posted January 25, 2023 (edited) Can confirm. Not just limited to tws, radar essentially doesn't work anymore. In TWS, one can cycle through imaginary targets (the direction cue/vector goes haywire, circling around the hud). Using the 'normal' radar mode, it seems that the target gets locked for a split second only to be unlocked immediately. Also, update seems to have impacted performance in general, negatively, resulting in slightly higher max cpu temperatures, in my case at least. The frequency of 'load spikes' by lack of a better definition seem to have increased as well. Edited January 25, 2023 by JabsDabbin
Archer.xd Posted January 25, 2023 Posted January 25, 2023 (edited) Tried now, it shows the range on hud and the box is correct for me, but on the radar screen it doesnt display the lock, and it seems Im able to just lock and switch between targets in TWS without hovering the cursor above them. Track attached f15c.trkf15c_rws_tws.trk Edited January 25, 2023 by vtaf_archer added another track 1
Archer.xd Posted January 25, 2023 Posted January 25, 2023 Further testing, tried with weapons loaded and it was working all fine. Then removed the weapons in another mission, still working fine. Seems like its not really persistent and I can't figure out what causes it, tracks below f15c_weapons.trkf15c_nowp.trk 1

BanagherLinks Posted January 26, 2023 Posted January 26, 2023 I had a BVR training with friends tonight after the update. I didn't notice anything strange, everything worked fine for me. No TWS issue at all

USA_Recon Posted January 26, 2023 Posted January 26, 2023 (edited) Since patch, doing a simple straight on ACM - I'm seeing where I'm unable to lock a bandit straight ahead in TWS or STT. Doesn't happen every time. Auto Acquisition works fine - so this is with captain bars. Had it both in MP and SP. Edited January 26, 2023 by USA_Recon
Shein Posted January 26, 2023 Posted January 26, 2023 Came here to post this. Same issue. Thought I was going crazy
Nahen Posted January 26, 2023 Author Posted January 26, 2023 In general post-patch, radar work on the F-15C (and possibly other FC3s) is dead. Out of ten people in our squadron, only two are OK. Everything else has a problem with the TWS, with the target marker on the HUD, etc. Problem registered by ED, we are waiting for a solution. 1
Nahen Posted January 27, 2023 Author Posted January 27, 2023 One more thing - before I tried to lock on only opponents. Now I see that if a friendly machine is locked, unfortunately, the marker on the HUD does not inform about it either. Each lock is an "open" square. Friendly or Foe, it doesn't matter for HUD symbology.../
USA_Recon Posted January 27, 2023 Posted January 27, 2023 some other oddities around locking with F15. RTS and then search again worked - undesignated doesn't work
Nahen Posted January 27, 2023 Author Posted January 27, 2023 After the patch everything seems to be back to normal. Thanks Ed 2
