Bad_Karma-701 Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 (edited) question: the hornet will eventually get Link 16 DL. now i know the F14A+/B didnt get that (they had Link 4 IIRC). anyone know if Link 16 was backwards compatible? would be cool to see the tomcats passing data to hornets and working together. I believe the JTIDS radio has the ability to T/R on 4A I dont know about TADIL–C also known as 4C. the fighter to fighter TDL can be shared w 3 other aircraft. and I would think LINK 4 and LINK 16 would be similar to the F-15C and the F-22 systems. where the F-15 is talking and the f-22 is silently listening.

Tarabostes Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 (edited) Because this is a 2 seater , when we will try to designate and hit a target with gbu (B variant of course) , we can do it from pilot seat or we have to move to rio seat hit the target then go back in pilot seat and fly? in single player i mean , or AI rio will be able to do it ? Thanks. Edited June 24, 2018 by Tarabostes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hvymtal Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 I think RIO is the one with control of LANTIRN. Not sure what JESTER will be like, but you can probably ask him to designate specific targets My Logitech Extreme3D Pro "Essentials" Profiles for FC3 and 25T: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/599930/ Thrustmaster T.16000M, TWCS FC3, F-5E, M2000C, AJS-37, C-101, F-14, NTTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what JESTER will be like, but you can probably ask him to designate specific targets Correct. The RIO is the one controlling the LANTIRN pod. The data image can be repeated onto one of the pilots up front repeaters so the pilot can release the bomb at the correct point or on the signal of the RIO. Note: That's how it worked in reality. Not sure if HB will model that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if HB will model that. We're prototyping JESTER functionality for LANTIRN, hopefully the AI will be able to effectively operate the pod if we launch with LANTIRN.

OnlyforDCS Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Please, don't get bogged down in the details! The Lantirn is cool and everything but if ED can release the F18 into early access with 75% of its weapon and sensor functionality missing, I think we can live without the Lantirn, or Jester knowing how to use the Lantirn on launch :) Current specs: Windows 10 Home 64bit, i5-9600K @ 3.7 Ghz, 32GB DDR4 RAM, 1TB Samsung EVO 860 M.2 SSD, GAINWARD RTX2060 6GB, Oculus Rift S, MS FFB2 Sidewinder + Warthog Throttle Quadrant, Saitek Pro rudder pedals.

gyrovague Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 HB team, Will your simulation of the AWG-9 display chaff returns in Pulse Search on the DDD? Or does the DCS engine not support it? In theory yes, but in practice the chaff objects seem to disappear really quickly (within 2 seconds or so). I have not followed up on this further yet, but it's on my radar list. I'm not sure whether they simply cease existing in the engine along with the 3D object manifestation, or whether something else is going on. IRL chaff is supposed to hang around for a very very long time (many minutes or hours, from what I've been told, and even multiple minutes at sea level when launched from a ship), I would have hoped in DCS it would at the very least live for 30 or 60 seconds. The Viggen radar code also shows chaff objects in theory. ____________ Heatblur Simulations [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fl0w Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 You could try not attempting to show the 3D object argumentation of it but when it recognizes the chaff event being triggered, but it wouldn't follow a greater accuracy of tracking it. By then, you wouldn't have random chaff signals appearing on your AWG-9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antagonist Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Well, from my understanding chaff is basically a load of fibers just floating in the wind...it should stay airborne and fairly concentrated for several minutes. :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fl0w Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Well, from my understanding chaff is basically a load of fibers just floating in the wind...it should stay airborne and fairly concentrated for several minutes. :S Yeah, but remember that you're flying away from it and that the chaff does have somewhat of a drag that does slowly make them get farther away. The issue is making it stay long enough on your RWR if the idea is to get angles by scanning from the hot metal shards it spews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
