Dispatch Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 In Wags video noticing Threat Circles in the HSD How are these implemented? I thought it was through DATA CARTRIDGE. Are they implemented though the Data Link? Thanks:pilotfly: ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harker Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 They are loaded via the data cartridge IRL, but for now, that functionality will be simulated. Any AA threats that aren't hidden in the Mission Editor will show up as threat circles and any that are hidden will not. It works the same way in the Hornet. Is simulates the cartridge procedure, until we get the full implementation. The vCVW-17 is looking for Hornet and Tomcat pilots and RIOs. Join the vCVW-17 Discord.

randomTOTEN Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 It works the same way in the KA50 too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuiGon Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 It works the same way in the KA50 too. Except that it is not restricted to air defense units, but instead shows all types of units. Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!

Lace Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 What about threats picked up by the RWR? Will they show on the HSD at all? I know there is no range information but an approximate position could be derived by two or more units and triangulation. I'm not familiar with the real-life setup. Laptop Pilot.

Harker Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 "Hidden on planner" or "hidden" in the mission editor? Hidden in the Mission Editor. Hidden on planned doesn't hide the threat circles. People requested that it works with "hidden on planner" as well, but I don't think that's implemented yet. The vCVW-17 is looking for Hornet and Tomcat pilots and RIOs. Join the vCVW-17 Discord.

randomTOTEN Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Except that it is not restricted to air defense units, but instead shows all types of units. "Known air defenses are marked as shaded areas where the circle represents the system's detection range. Know(n) enemy air defenses are those set up in the mission editor as non-hidden. Enemy air defenses are marked with a blue transparency, and friendly air defense zones are marked with a red transparency." KA-50, pg. 3-114 "Terrain masking of air defense system sensors is taken into account in accordance with your helicopter's altitude. This is determined by superimposing the detection zone plane in a cross section of the terrain based on your helicopter's altitude. Sections that intersect with terrain are removed. This can be a very useful tool for terrain masking tactics. Only detection zones for stationary air defenses are displayed. Also, because this information is not updated in real time, these zones will still be visible after the air defense unit is destroyed. KA-50, pg. 3-115 It's air defenses only.

fullwoody Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 so it will result in a page that works in a similar fashion to the hornet SA page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
