thats the altitude

but imo that HMD in the trailer wasn’t done or fully accurate. Or there’s reject modes like in the hornet…

Ah ty, makes sense now that you point it out.

3246

Do you know the current state of the HMD?
if its done or still WIP?

3247

I do not know that but what i know is that it should be better than the tornado

3248

Mirage is one of the things that you fear in cqc when flying the Gripen those Micas are nasty!

3249

My radar just loves picking a standing still ghosts and just watching them. It’s like they added my german typhoon with PTST and it sees ghosts of B-17’s

3250

So i guess, not to expect anymore buffs to captor right??? Even though its supposed to rival early pesa radars and be significantly better than 80s APG-63v1. But in WT, its just Harrier radar with maybe a bit better detection ranges.

3251

+1 here, i’d like to know if we’re going to get HMD IFF or not

3252

Nah, only the french are allowed to have IFF in their HMD they arent even supposed to have.

3253

yh, i don’t mind them getting the HMD at all it just seems a bit of a piss take that its the only one (other than the a-10) that gets IFF lol

does the eft hud and hmd have a queue symbol for IR missiles? don’t remember seeing one ingame.
If it does is there any status on a report (if there is a report)

3255

No it doesn’t, the cue symbol on the HUD doesnt even move when you move the camera atm. (Not sure if this is accurate or not though)

Im not exactly a fan of gaijins hypocrisy in rule application, but the HMD doesnt bug me a whole lot either. The fact its the literal best HMD in-game and has a feature multiple other HMD’s should have but werent given despite the fact its ahistorical to even have one in the first place is downright obnoxious though

Cheers! Prepare for more.

Probably not.
If that would have been the case, both the Captor-M and Captor-M with Pirate would have had this bug, but they did not. The only radars that had been set to clear targets in 4 seconds were Captor-M with Pirate, RBE2, and V004. Likely, since V004 already had ESA features, they used portions of its code for the RBE2, but also did so on Captor-M with Pirate on accident. Regular Captor-M was set to 8 seconds.
Oh, I didn’t notice it before, but the TWS target limit was also set to 4, again, only for Captor-M with Pirate.

Once more I suspect Dev Shenanigans but who knows ))))))))

Anyway, who here has unlocked the tEaFT or can test drive it. I need someone to run a test with Pirate for me.

3260

Can you guys see if Pirate has the same problem?

3261

Gunna take it out into SIM tonight, so will keep an eye out and see if I get pirate locks at longer ranges

3262

That will be difficult to do. Best way is to lock something and to see if it maintains that lock once the aircraft goes past 30 km.

Thank you, though.

Hello, @Gunjob

They devs mistakenly marked the 30 km cap report as fixed. However, the cap is clearly still there, and on all aircraft. I attached some more info and a video in the comments. Can you reopen the bug and notify the devs, while it is fresh, please?

Said comment:

Here is the video: https://youtu.be/xagPXQFPM6M
This cap is present on all IRSTs, including Pirate, OSF, all Soviet IRSTs, etc.

The problem is that the distance gate is set to 30 km in "actionsTemplates"
for "setIrstBvrLockMode", "setIrstAcmLockMode", "setIrstHmdStandbyMode", "setIrstHmdLockMode":

"setDistGatePos": {
            "source": "constRange",
            "pos": 15000.0,
            "width": 30000.0
          },

Also, all airborne IRSTs, except for Pirate, lack any kind of afterburner plume detection ("range7"), making them extremely weak.
OLS-27 also has only 1/2 of its rear aspect detection range and only a 1/10 of its front aspect detection range (no afterburner):
Community Bug Reporting System

Oh, and can this one be changed from suggestion to bug? Since Pirate has been added, there are more powerful IRSTs around and OLS-27 still has abysmal range.
