ED Team Wags Posted August 1, 2005 ED Team Share Posted August 1, 2005 As testing for the 1.11 FC patch is underway, Eagle asked that I periodically discuss a new patch feature. Once the patch is nearly done, I'm sure Eagle will release the complete list. In the meantime, these items will give you an idea of what to look forward to. A sore point for many Lock On fliers has been the “all seeing” AWACS / EWR radars. I’m happy to report that this issue has been resolved in a big way in the FC 1.11 patch. I may be mistaken, but I believe the AWACS / EWR radar modeling will now be the most realistic for any retail product. Key features of the AWACS radar now include modeling of: - Terrain masking - Maximum range - Minimum range - Radar horizon calculation - Target radar cross section (RCS) detection threshold - Target radial velocity (allows target to use look down Doppler clutter notch) - Target aspect - Beam angle towards the target - Refresh time EWR radars will now model the following: - Terrain masking - Maximum range - Minimum range - Radar horizon calculation - Target radar cross section (RCS) detection threshold - Target aspect - Beam angle towards the target - Refresh time On a related matter, aircraft with active ECM can no longer be detected through terrain.

GGTharos Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 And I can confirm that even for AWACS now radio horizon and other factors are an issue. Same for EWR. So, try not to just let your AWACS planes fly around at 2000m anymore, you might end up dissapointed ;) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Scythe Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Just a question - say, there are two E-3s on an AWACs pattern, 100 miles apart. If only one AWACs picks up an enemy aircraft and the other doesn't (due to aspect angles or what not), will the player get the threat call or not? Oh, by the way, great news :) Thanks guys.

AndyHill Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Awesome news. Although I must admit I started thinking about how much CPU power these new features are going to require. When are you going tell about the new toe-brake feature? ________________________________________________________ Lock on must have toe-brake functionality with differential braking!

bflagg Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 .... Although I must admit I started thinking about how much CPU power these new features are going to require. forget moore's law.. it's ED's law. "PC hardware life cycle is in direct proportion to one's willingness to fly and income potential". Expressed thusly: PC = Will / $$ Which is of course, divided by the sqare root of Wife1 .. but that's another thread for another day.

Prophet_169th Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 This is so awsome to hear. Really. This one fix alone, will help a lot with missions. And balance for the F15's with AWACS involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dmut Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 why should it gone? ;) "There are five dangerous faults which may affect a general: recklessness, which leads to destruction; cowardice, which leads to capture; a hasty temper, which can be provoked by insults; a delicacy of honor which is sensitive to shame; over-solicitude for his men, which exposes him to worry and trouble."

gustav Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 why should it gone? ;) I really dont know if it should be removed actually. Was russian "data-link technology" superior some time ago? It's just that it feels a little too good. Also, you miss some immersion not having to request vectors etc from the awacs. Anyway, good news this!
