CaptDick Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Hi, I have positioned a Gorgian EWR1L13 at my base and set a frequency off 225MHz. For the F86 I have also set UHF channel 1 to 225MHz. When I am in the aircraft and select the channel I can't communicate to get air target info. No comms at all with it. When I do this with an E2 AWACS then I get the information briefly before my # button stops bringing up the comms options. Please can you tell me how to set-up a ground radar for the Blue forces for use with the F86 to get bearing information to enemy air targets. What units are required and how do I set them up? Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrecking Crew Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 You can't get that data from a ground radar. AFAIK WC Visit the Hollo Pointe DCS World server -- an open server with a variety of COOP & H2H missions including Combined Arms. All released missions are available for free download, modification and public hosting, from my Wrecking Crew Projects site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptDick Posted January 25, 2015 Author Share Posted January 25, 2015 That sucks, thanks for getting back to me. How do I make an AWACS aircraft circle somewhere on the map invisible to all with unlimited fuel just to act as a ground radar? Then I can make it so that when the ground radar is destroyed it deactivates the AWACS. Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvsgas Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 You can do most of that through the mission editor except unlimited fuel. To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that. Thank you for you patience. Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Make the first AWACS and use the Advanced Waypoint Actions (AWA) to set a Racetrack Orbit between two waypoints. Make a AWA at a prior waypoint to set the Invisible attribute on to hide the AWACS from opposite side AI. Give the orbit a Stop Condition of about 4-5 hours -- I'm pretty sure it can fly at least that long. After that time elapses the AWACS should break out of its orbit and RTB. Make a Copy of this AWACS and make the copy Late Activated. Activate it with a trigger at Time More that 4-5 hours or whatever you used for the stop orbit, make this a bit earlier so the new AWACS gets on station. You should be able to give the new one the same callsign and freq. (?) You could always Deactivate the first AWACS and Activate the second one on station. You can string copies of things together in this manner. WC Visit the Hollo Pointe DCS World server -- an open server with a variety of COOP & H2H missions including Combined Arms.

Belgeode Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Further to what Wrecking Crew said... You can also make a trigger where if Unit (EWR) is UNIT DEAD, then GROUP DEACTIVATE (AWACS). That way if the EWR acting as awacs gets destroyed, it neatly takes your invisible AWACS away. If this is the first AWACS in Wrecking Crew's scenario, then it should never trigger the second to appear.

Fercyful Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 bump :music_whistling: please is this the same after the years? I really want to use ground EWR to get info with the radio about incoming bombers without using an AWACS. Maybe a mod/script/sample mission using above advices can helps. Thanks! :thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sierra99 Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 I >Think< you can use a patriot search radar for this too.
