J20Stronk Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 1) Go to your DCS install\Mods\aircraft\JF-17\Cockpit\Scripts\MFCD\Indicator 2) In the file 'UP_L1_HSD_SA.lua', find 'local MAX_RWR_CONTACTS = 20'. You can edit the .lua with Notepad or Notepad++ 3) Change the 20 to a higher number like 200. 4) Save and play! This workaround will allow the HSD to show more contacts as the script catches up to delete or update older RWR hits. (It won't actually show 200 RWR hits. And no, it won't break IC or undo the patch changes where the contacts eventually get super fuzzy and unreadable along w/ the FPS drop. This is a temp fix until Deka fixes it officially next patch(es)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yambo Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 (edited) Ok, this should work guys. Screenshot is below with markings. Blue will give you number of nails that are displayed on HSD, but the Red line of lua script should be stated "false". I've tested limited and don't have 100% confirmation about fix but when you change it to "true" then you'll get Spikes. Best regards!

Yambo Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 One more thing, you need to change and save file, then lunch DCS. if you have DCS running and change it wont change anything before you restart game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harlikwin Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 So just changing it to 200 did nothing online. Hawk fired on me 3-4x with 0 warnings on the RWR, not even a betty warning. I'll test changing that tag to "true" later today. New hotness: I7 9700k 4.8ghz, 32gb ddr4, 2080ti, :joystick: TM Warthog.

Badger1-1 Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 (edited) You do turn on the betty sound by turning the knob full right, right? Cause it sounds like you never get any betty warnings and maybe thats your problem Edited December 27, 2019 by Badger1-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harlikwin Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 (edited) I get betty warnings but bo visual indicators on rwr. Sometimes no betty warning too. From a cold start online. Airstart it seems better, and the rwr works ok offline. Edited December 26, 2019 by Harlikwin New hotness: I7 9700k 4.8ghz, 32gb ddr4, 2080ti, :joystick: TM Warthog.

DackSter94 Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 None of the solutions mentioned work. Maybe they improve situation by like 5-10%. And only temporary improvement LOOK MA, NO HOOK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harlikwin Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 When i saw a deka dev mention they figured it out and i needed recoding i was a bit skeptical of quick fixes.

Neuse Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 It feels improved in terms of more rwr contacts but it nowhere fixed the issues. Still no nails and spikes all the time :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yambo Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Guys, most of the time you wont get spikes from major a/c played. ED implemented TWS to F-18, F-16 and F-14, while these a/c are immune to jammers. If you use type1 of jammer you will jam only bandit that is stt locking you for short period of time. Nails on the other hand are prioritized on other way, as i said i'm still testing but on 104th and GS servers in very limited timeframe this change is working, but more testing is required in order to point out is the fix working or not.

Harlikwin Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 (edited) I tried it again on BF last night. Not sure it was really working, first flight over an area I didn't get nails from the nearby patriot battery (mercifully out of range), subsequent flights I did get nails and tracking warnings. So, not 100% sure what to take away from that. Then again in the past I have gotten tracking and even once in a while launch warnings on BF before this fix. As for air threats my understanding is this: If a plane has you in TWS you get no warning besides just the standard he's emitting symbology on the RWR, since you don't know he has you locked. Same for launch, but you should get nails from the missile once it goes pitbul, and this could be a very short period of time. I have seen this with aim120's shot at me, that I get "missile" (then boom), or missile missile (boom). I the missiles are launched at fairly close range. I have also been able to dodge Aim120's launched from longer ranges, by assuming they launched on me, maneuvering, and then getting the Missile and MAWS warnings for them.

VC Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 I definitely had contacts but as with the others, very inconsistent behaviour. I definitely got hit by an AIM-120 with no warning at all of the missile pitbull (but Betty screaming "missile missile" at me). Are you guys using the SPJ? I didn't take it in case that caused additional issues. Does it work better or worse with it? Do you get the contacts at the right range? VC =X51= Squadron is recruiting!

Neuse Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Yeah thats my experience as well...not even nails by attacking hornets...the first thing you get ist the pitbull warning if it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harlikwin Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 You shouldnt get nails. If they are using tws its silent. But they should be on the rwr as a yellow threat.

coolneko Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 So on hoggit GAW it seems to be working intermittently. The RWR will lose all contacts for a moment, then refresh some back on the HSD. I find that if you don't bother with datalink (it disconnects half the time anyway) you'll have more luck with it.
