Question about MSI and radar SIL

Hello,

 

After testing the launch on MSI only track file, I observed that fox3 are well updated in flight on the track file with the radar in SIL mode.

I pushed the test by puting the radar in STANDBY mode (with the rotary), and here, the missile is no more updated.

 

Is it normal? (plane -> missile emission aren't affected by SIL ?)

is it a bug ? (SIL should stop all emission ?)

 

Doc isn't explicit about it

Video: 5 120C fired on a circling target, always on the hot leg.

  • First 3 in SIL mode, they change their trajectory to the right
  • last 2 while puting the radar in standby after launch. They do not change to the right

SILENT mode does not "shut down" the transmitters and receivers like standby. In SILENT the receiver is still active and will do Angle Only Tracks and passive ranging (IRL, not implemented). The "ACTIVE" button is part of the QUICKLOOK function (also not implemented) that does some pseudo phased array trackfile update stuff. The radar just isn't doing constant transmitting with the Raster volume search pattern and is still able to transmit command links to in flight aim-120's. So this is correct function.

Thanks

As in entering CAC mode lift the SIL, I guess firing a missile is also an action that, while not lifting SIL as is, explicit ask to transmit over SIL

 

I don't know about IRL RWR, but do DCS RWR pickup such transmission ?

I cannot test right now
