need track replay HTS Not Detecting Strategic SAMs

[jack varus]

Flown a couple of flights now in the last week after being away for a while and I've found that the HTS can't see long range SAMs, so far replicated with SA-2, SA-3 and SA-6, but it's seeing search radars, EWR and short range stuff like SA-8, SA-15 etc. Going to the target list everything is highlighted in white which I assume means all target lists are active. Am I missing something or could it be an issue?

All the long range radars are showing up in the RWR as normal.

The HTS is working fine for me. Look up what each group of radars each threat group is tied to. The more you're searching for, the longer it will take to fix. Additionally, don't fly directly at the sites, and remember that the HTS can't see behind you.

@jack varus Hi,

It is working fine here,

I don't know how much time was given to find the emitters but HTS needs some time if all emitter classes are selected, so I'd suggest, to make that time shorter, on HAD page press THRT then deselect ALL and only select CLASS 2, that will search for SA-2, SA-3, SA6 and few more and it should find them quick, given that they are active.

Also be sure you have done proper alignment of the INS so the aircraft knows where it is in space-time. Do STOR HDG or Normal alignment, if you do Normal make sure you confirmed the coordinates. See manual.

If you still have trouble post a short track so we can see whats up.

Had the same yesterday, it's the alignment. You either need to do the quick alignment with stored heading, or make sure you confirm your aircraft's initial position after a normal alignment by pressing enter on ICP. I didn't know the latter was a necessity with normal alignment, and HAD was behaving exactly like that for me.
