Ahmed Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Several systems can be configured by the pilot to bump up the lethality shown for "low level" threats. I haven't read anything about the F/A-18's ALR-67 being one of those. However, it does discern between lethal and non-lethal threats, just not in DCS because ED interpreted the documents in a different way, that can easily be demonstrated wrong by watching any HUD tape on youtube that includes EW symbology. Hopefully something that will be fixed at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully something that will be fixed at some point.Agreed about the current wrong state of the threat bands. On the ALR-67(V)2 that we have, the pilot should still be able to prioritize certain threats using the priority knob, which is not currently implemented. This will also help with friendly ship emitters not showing up as highest priority, half of the time. 5 The vCVW-17 is looking for Hornet and Tomcat pilots and RIOs. Join the vCVW-17 Discord.

IkarusC42B Pilot Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 (edited) But what does available documentation mean? It was easier for me to find the documentation for the usn one then the spanish one. 744 series is just one search away.

Tholozor Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 IIRC the 744 docs details the operation of the NITE Hawk pod, since the Navy doesn't use LITENING.

"Iirc" meaning you rember? So in order to rember does that mean you have a volume of that series? Edited June 4, 2021 by IkarusC42B Pilot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't have many hopes though on dev time being allocated to the Hornet nowadays to fix this. Just FYI, you can mod most of this through LUA modding at least to get a cosmetically correct presentation. I have done it for our group (it won't be IC compliant though iirc). oh really interesting. Which file would you have to mod? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragon1-1 Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 Did you miss the part about this being from a FOIA request? The US government literally sent it to him to make it public. This was in response to him going out and asking them about the LITENING symbology. That's how FOIA requests work. IMO, it's pretty clear that this specific diagram is all right to post, even if the source document wasn't identified (the rest of it doesn't have to be public, and wasn't part of the request, anyway). AFAIK, "for public release" means that essentially anything goes and export controls don't apply. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ED Team BIGNEWY Posted May 29, 2022 ED Team Share Posted May 29, 2022 Thanks, but the data here isnt going to be good enough to invoke a change. We have the best available information for the design and we are happy. We would have loved to include a USMC Litening pod, but the reference data is simply not available. Sorry, but a single image is far, far from what would be required. If a fully, public released manual of this pod is released that details AA, AG, and Control pages with detailed explanations of all functions, it's something we may be able to consider in the future, after Early Access. For now, we must base the the TGPs (Spanish Litening and ATFLIR) on references that we have sufficient references for. 1 Forum rules - DCS Crashing?
