LWS IS ON AND TESTED BUT LWR DOESN'T WORK

[Aeolus]

Hello:

After I installed the 1.2.4 patch LWR doesn't work, although I tested LWS.

neither In patch 1.2.4.11855_171 neither in patch 1.2.4.12179 doesn't work.

I attach three images:

1.- LWS ON.

2.- LWS AND LWR TESTED AND OK.

3.- SAM LAUNCH AND LWR DOESN'T WORK.

 

In previous patch 1.2.3 it worked fine.

 

Is this a knwon bug?

Just in case, it's worth noting:

 

The LWS only detects laser energy directed at your helicopter. As such, it will not detect IR or radar-guided missiles fired from things like MANPADS, SA-3, SA-6, etc.

 

The only thing the LWS would detect is the laser ranging from vehicles like BMPs and tanks and such.

NoJoe is right. LWS : Lazer Warning System. Doesn't work with Radar/IR energy.

You best chance is to listen your wingmen or watch for white smoke from ground, with some luck.

My question is: Why with patch 1.2.3 LWS and LWR worked fine but in the same mission with the patch 1.2.4 doesn't work?

Sounds like it was a bug that they fixed.
