F-16 RWR Prf tones library F-4

[Stroke 3]

Because of the F-4s release does it mean that the F-16 will be using the same rwr prf tones as the F-4s rwr?

Also does this mean that the prf tones for the F-16 are in work because of the F-4?

Heatblur are the ones working on the Handoff tone library yes. I don't know if the F-4 and F-16 share the same library, but as of now I don't think the F-4 has handoff properly implemented yet so it might be a little bit before we see it on the F-16.

The way the ALR-46 (F-4) and ALR-56M (F-16) RWRs generate PRF audio is very different.

Ok thanks.

How exactly? i would expect it to be similar because the F-4s rwr also has a Hand-Off button.

They are similar to a certain extent, like they both have the same functionality of being able to step between emitters with the different modes like Latched, Diamond Float, etc. (Which is not actually modeled in either jet yet). But in terms of audio, The F-4's RWR generates a "fake" tone based on some parameters like PRF, but does not let you listen to the amplitude / raw PRF audio. That's why in the F-4, emitters in search mode are always just a solid tone. But what most people understand PRF audio as is that wide-open PRF audio you're maybe familiar with from BMS. I'm pretty sure the ALR-56M has more of that raw PRF style of audio, which is more useful because you can easily tell the difference between search and track modes based on if the audio is a more solid tone, or a periodic chirp.

Hey @Wags can we get an update regarding this. Will we get PRF tones this year? 


Thanks.

Hey, as soon as we have news to share we will, its not been forgotten, just taking longer than expected.
