zfoxy Posted July 14, 2023 Posted July 14, 2023 (edited) Hi, recently I created a multiplayer server with my friend (whom was in an F16) and discovered that when he is locking on or even tracking, the tone nor display fails to update/create sound. I am given a warning when my radar detects him, but other than that, absolutely blank. I'm not sure if this is known, but it is ruining the multiplayer dogfight experience with friends for me at the moment. I have followed countless tutorials on how to set everything up, all buttons pushed correctly and same with settings (as it says on the EW), however it still fails to receive. Please see details below MAP - MARIANAS (however I have experienced this on Caucaus, too) SERVER - MISSION EDITOR CREATED, BASIC 2 FIGHTER SETUP WITH ADEQUATE LOADOUT. MISSON - FREE FLIGHT/MISSION EDITOR BASIC SETUP SYSTEM SPECS - RTX 3060, RYZEN 5 5600X 6 CORE PROCESSOR, 16GB RAM, 1.2TB STORAGE, WINDOWS 11. If any more needed, please say CONNECTED DEVICES - LOGITECH G502, THRUSTMASTER HOTAS T16000M THROTTLE+STICK, HEADSET, KEYBOARD ETC SCREENSHOTS OF BUG: ATTACHED On the screenshot, you can clearly see that I have the ALR-67 set to 'RCV' and the ALE-47 set to 'STBY'. Even when I change the ALE-47 to another setting, it still does not work. ASPJ is 'REC' which is normal, and information is displayed on my HUD yet still fails to give me information on when the bandit is engaging. Next, you can see my ECM control panel. I have set this up correctly, with ECM set to REC, and the panel being ON. Therefore, all options have been distinguished and I am not sure on what to do next. I know the multiplayer experience with the hornet is a bit buggy at the moment, but please tell me if this is simply my error, or a game bug. Thanks, zfoxy Edited July 14, 2023 by zfoxy Text bug
Solution dorianR666 Posted July 14, 2023 Solution Posted July 14, 2023 did you press the RWR ON button before your jet gets electricity? there are some items in the cockpit which are bugged and misbehave if you enable them before electricity (another bugged item is radar altimeter for example). 2 CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1600X GPU: AMD RX 580
zfoxy Posted July 15, 2023 Author Posted July 15, 2023 (edited) dorianR666 This was a free flight, but I tried it again on the ground, started up using what you suggested and it worked. Seems to be a bit hit and miss though, due to the fact that the FA-18C does seem to have some bugs with multiplayer. Works half the time and sometimes still fails to locate locks. I believe when you start on free flight, RWR/ECM settings are a bit bugged and this is why it was causing it, only in multiplayer for me. Either way, thanks for the help!

MarkyMark Posted July 16, 2023 Posted July 16, 2023 (edited) What kind of lock was used? A STT lock in TWS mode shouldn’t set off an alert. Edited July 16, 2023 by MarkyMark

STT is STT. it doesnt matter if you switch to STT from RWS or TWS, its the same thing and in both cases RWR knows about the lock. STT = the radar beam permanently stays on the target. youre probably mistaking it with mere designation of L&S within TWS. Edited July 16, 2023 by dorianR666 CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1600X GPU: AMD RX 580
