Nero.ger Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 (edited) IMPORTANT: this modification will be part of the official A-4E-C 1.03 version. so this mod will not be developed further or maintained. Even if its not 100% clear if or what kind of RWR the A4 has, I made a small mod for it, adding a 'RadarLock Warning' and 'RadarMissile Warning' sounds to it. Since there are no switches in the Cockpit, the system works as soon as the DC-Bus has power. The sounds are also from the Original A4-Mod(obst for the Lock and RadarAltWarning for the Launch) to install replace 2 files(devices/device_init) in the '\A-4E-C\Cockpit\Scripts\' folder and place the rwr.lua in the 'Systems' subdirectory Download Link: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1erwDOnJ1wioxlKkh8gt0S9ZQoUxvlqis Edited January 30, 2019 by Nero.ger 'controlling' the Ka50 feels like a discussion with the Autopilot and trim system about the flight direction.

javelina1 Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Excellent mod! thank you Nero! I'm using the weapons mod to allow a 4x AGM-45 loadout. Plus, I have a standard SEAD mission to go against a SA-6. On my first try (via your mod), that tone sure helped a lot! After hearing the tracking tone, I put the nose of the A/C right on that bad boy. Fired off the Shrike and managed a 50% damage hit. On my second mission, I had to use 3 Shrikes before killing the SA-6. Regardless, your Mod is a Keeper and a great addition to the A-4E-C. I've made it into a JSGME compatible format so that future A-4E-C updates don't clobber this. In short, this is awesome and thank you! I'm ready to SEAD!!! (but with the obvious limitations of the AGM-45). -Jav Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Ultra, i7-9700k (4.9ghz all cores), NH-D15 cooler, 64 GB CL-14 3200mhz RAM, RTX3090FE, Soundblaster Z, Yamaha 5.1 A/V Receiver, 2x 512GB Samsung NVMe, 1x 1TB Samsung NVMe, 2TB Samsung SSD, Win 10 Pro, TM Warthog, Virpil WarBRD, MFG Crosswinds, 43" Samsung 4K TV, 21.5 Acer VT touchscreen, TrackIR, JetSeat KW-908, Reverb G2, Wheel Stand Pro Super Warthog, Phanteks Enthoo Pro Full Tower Case, Seasonic Prime 750W Titanium PW Supply, PointCTRL, Buttkicker 2 , K-51 Helicopter Collective Control Link to post Share on other sites
javelina1 Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 3rd mission with a 4 Shrike loadout. Heard the tone fired the first, no joy... but it came close... Used the terrain to cover my tracks, and then circled back... Got another tone I was being tracked... Put the nose of the A/C on that bad boy and fired another Shrike... Bingo! Though I did not get a kill (per the log book), I did render the AAA combat ineffective... awesome dude! thank you for the Mod, and thank you for the Dev's to allow the Mod's.... Now, I'll go back to my traps via the Bug.... :-) Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Ultra, i7-9700k (4.9ghz all cores), NH-D15 cooler, 64 GB CL-14 3200mhz RAM, RTX3090FE, Soundblaster Z, Yamaha 5.1 A/V Receiver, 2x 512GB Samsung NVMe, 1x 1TB Samsung NVMe, 2TB Samsung SSD, Win 10 Pro, TM Warthog, Virpil WarBRD, MFG Crosswinds, 43" Samsung 4K TV, 21.5 Acer VT touchscreen, TrackIR, JetSeat KW-908, Reverb G2, Wheel Stand Pro Super Warthog, Phanteks Enthoo Pro Full Tower Case, Seasonic Prime 750W Titanium PW Supply, PointCTRL, Buttkicker 2 , K-51 Helicopter Collective Control Link to post Share on other sites
Tirak Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 This is a fantastic addition. I hope that the main Community A-4E team includes it as well as the flashing light. Just ran a little SEAD mission of my own with 2 shrikes, 4x Zuni Pods and a gunpod, and the aural warning really helps give that extra heads up that you really need. Link to post Share on other sites

This gave an aural tone ('oodle, oodle, oodle') and a visual warning of a SAM launch in the form of a flashing red light marked 'SAM'. So aside from the SAM light the mod is pretty accurate. Haven't tested it against gun radars yet though, which it should also be able to detect. Link to post Share on other sites

Nero.ger Posted November 27, 2018 Author Share Posted November 27, 2018 my mod goes by Lock and Launch events, no matter the source, i guess in RL it should only work on SA2s 'controlling' the Ka50 feels like a discussion with the Autopilot and trim system about the flight direction.

Tirak Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 my mod goes by Lock and Launch events, no matter the source, i guess in RL it should only work on SA2s Nope This was just about adequate in the days when there was only one type of SAM, the SA-2 'Guideline'. The nature of the particular threat - including gun-laying radars and later SAMs as they came along -- could be determined with a practiced ear depending on the sounds, particularly the raw pulse-repetition frequency (PRF) warble in the earphones. The book explicitly states that it could handle later SAMs and gun laying radars, just that aside from the PRF there wasn't much information provided. It didn't tell you explicitly what was being fired at you, from what direction and how dangerous that threat was to you, ala modern RWR displays. Your mod is accurate in terms of anyone aiming at you setting it off. Link to post Share on other sites

Given the "humpback" retrofitted into its airframe to fit ECM and additional avionics like the factory produced A4F did in its Humpback. when dediciated RWR displays came ( starting around 1968) it would have been the An/APR 25 RWR along with a display Scope like the A4F used in Vietnam http://www.joebaugher.com/usattack/newa4_6.html "During service, the aircraft was retrofitted with the humpbacked avionics compartment immediately behind the cockpit that had been introduced on the A-4F" https://books.google.ca/books?id=ubDgAwAAQBAJ&pg=PA97&lpg=PA97&dq=a4+skyhawk++an/apr+25+radar+warning&source=bl&ots=zC3IFWwtWf&sig=6lolBVi10Wtnk9loobXiHIPyXrY&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj66oKloILfAhVPbKwKHTjQD0wQ6AEwAnoECAAQAQ#v=onepage&q=a4%20skyhawk%20%20an%2Fapr%2025%20radar%20warning&f=false AN/APR25 radar scope, and symbol graphic Video : albeit concering F4, the RWR used here is AN/APR 25 as you will see.

But its out since we are missing the EW-panel to switch the different options on and off. Not to mention the Display :) so "DedoooDedoooo" it is :) IT was simplified EW panel in the skyhawk. its a much smaller cramped cockpit after all than the F4. Some A4F's did in fact have the AN/APR25 scopes fitted specifically due to the SAM threat encounterd in North Vietnam . and many A4E's ( like one represented here) humpback modification to fit the ECM, CM and additional avionics suites that the A4F's had . So it would have been a viable retrofit to the A4E's and maybe a few were applied to some A4E's. https://books.google.ca/books?id=ubDgAwAAQBAJ&pg=PA97&lpg=PA97&dq=a4+skyhawk++an/apr+25+radar+warning&source=bl&ots=zC3IFWwtWf&sig=6lolBVi10Wtnk9loobXiHIPyXrY&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj66oKloILfAhVPbKwKHTjQD0wQ6AEwAnoECAAQAQ#v=onepage&q=a4%20skyhawk%20%20an%2Fapr%2025%20radar%20warning&f=false It also contains a pilot recount on how AN/APR25 display saved his life in his A4F.

uri_ba Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 I think RWR was retrofitted on the A-4E at some point (I know the IAF had RWR on the A-4Hs). I think it was mounted on the right side of the glare-shield, like the F-4Es. I'll try and check with some old timers, but they will probably have hard time remembering small details like that from a plane variant they flew 40+ years ago.
