JOEM423 Posted June 29, 2023 Posted June 29, 2023 Just took out 4 Mig29’s from 50 miles in TWS! They didn’t know what hit them!!!! 1
McCloud Posted June 29, 2023 Posted June 29, 2023 I haven’t used the F15 for air to air yet. Mainly because all of my time so far has been in the back. What is this easy button you speak of?

pete_auau Posted June 29, 2023 Posted June 29, 2023 50 miles every time i try that in tws, missiles dont even reach the target being c17 so they not actually evading them Lol
McCloud Posted June 29, 2023 Posted June 29, 2023 50miles in a 120c I thought was alittle ambitious? unless there are massive speed and altitude differences??

311Gryphon Posted June 30, 2023 Posted June 30, 2023 I'm apparently unclear on how to get secondary targets in TWS in the Strike Eagle. I assumed after you get a PDT and then enter one of the TWS sub modes you would put the Acq Symbol over a secondary track and TDC Press on that to designate it SDT. I do that and nothing happens. I can only bug one target no matter what. I've tried this in a few different scenarios and have even remapped my TDC Press to other controls. Nothing. I can't bug more than 1 guy. Is it a different button that designates subsequent targets? 2 http://www.youtube.com/user/311Gryphon i7-8700, 32 GB DDR4 3000, GTX 1080 TI 11GB, 240 GB SSD, 2TB HDD, Dual (sometimes Triple) monitor, TM Warthog HOTAS, Saitek Pro Combat Pedals, TrackIR [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

You would just need to wait while in TWS until tracks are created for the other contacts (empty followed by solid squares), then coolie switch up short to switch PTD to other tracks (and fire). 1 2

I've had some mixed results since I posted here. Sometimes it does automatically bug other targets and sometimes it doesn't. I thought their was a way to toggle that function but I've never actually switched anything up so I don't know. http://www.youtube.com/user/311Gryphon i7-8700, 32 GB DDR4 3000, GTX 1080 TI 11GB, 240 GB SSD, 2TB HDD, Dual (sometimes Triple) monitor, TM Warthog HOTAS, Saitek Pro Combat Pedals, TrackIR [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

I've also had mixed results, which made me re-read the user manual some more. Part of the issue is that there are so many TWS modes/sub-modes that can significantly change the azimuth and vertical (i.e. bars) scan. Given this, I've updated my F-15E BVR kneeboards to show more of the TWS modes, as I didn't show as many options in my first draft. For example, I've uploaded an excerpt from the updated kneeboard below (see this thread for more info: https://forum.dcs.world/topic/329552-kneeboards-for-f-15e-strike-eagle-for-air-to-air-missile-guided-bomb-employment/#comment-5260003 ) Edited July 15, 2023 by 609_Relentov
311Gryphon Posted July 15, 2023 Posted July 15, 2023 Yeah I've read up on the different TWS modes but I'm not seeing any information that makes it clear how to bug additional targets once you're in those modes. I've seen some evidence that it can be automatic but in the official Razbam tutorials Notso seems to manually bug them, and I would assume that's by putting the Acq Symbol over additional targets and hitting the TDC Press...but that doesn't really seem to work for me. I can get into a variety of TWS modes I just can't reliably get multiple targets bugged, so it's getting a little frustrating. I'm 90% sure it's because I'm misunderstanding the process or doing something wrong. I'd just like to know how to get the targets bugged once I'm in the preferred TWS mode. http://www.youtube.com/user/311Gryphon i7-8700, 32 GB DDR4 3000, GTX 1080 TI 11GB, 240 GB SSD, 2TB HDD, Dual (sometimes Triple) monitor, TM Warthog HOTAS, Saitek Pro Combat Pedals, TrackIR [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Galinette Posted July 15, 2023 Posted July 15, 2023 By default, AUTO is boxed upon entering TWS. Any vectored track will be selected as SDT until you reach a limit of 10. SDTs are identified by hollow bricks, while non designated tracks are solid bricks. If you unbox AUTO, vectored tracks will remain as solid bricks until you TDC designate them.
