Sanguine-Fiend Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Trivia Question, in my career and sandbox games, when a vessel is equipped with weapons manager and any of the radars it is not able to detect anything, radar screen is blank, even when KSC is littered with old crafts and debris?

sashan Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) I need to ask something. When I use radar with 120* field of view on my VTOL, then do I need another ground based radar to detect incomming missiles behind me?Of course. You can use AWACS radar tho. It can't track targets, detection only.Baha, we really need radar added to Goalkeeper. Large ground radar has nice sensitivity but can't track targets. COmbining it with CIWS would give great results. Also, ground AI won't fire Millenium gun at me, onlt missiles. USed those SAM missiles and ground tracking radar:Also, I don't know why but Millenium can't hit target. My Jetcat flies right through those explosions without even a scratch.

Alphasus Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 why not use the medium sized locking radar and to have an awacs tower too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sashan Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) why not use the medium sized locking radar and to have an awacs tower too.Because only one radar can be active at a time. And having two separate vessels is not always desirable.Btw, I see that AMRAAM loses lock if it is still not in self-homing mode. Real one just approximates target position basing on available previously data and tries to find it with is own radar.Is jamming supposed to make target invisible to radars? Cause it does now. It should make icon jitter instead. Edited August 13, 2015 by sashan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphasus Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Ok. The locking radar alone could work then. I mean the large, non inline one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrpijus123 Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Just a wild idea: How about a missile pod (like Hydra) that fires guided missiles? Tried making the hydra fire guided missiles by editing the cfg but no luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sashan Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) Ok. The locking radar alone could work then. I mean the large, non inline one.It is more than 7 times less sensitive.Good manual about radar modes: http://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steam/apps/250300/manuals/F-15C%20DCS%20Flaming%20Cliffs%20Flight%20Manual%20EN.pdf?t=1404412233Boresight mode should have various cone angles based on weapon selection.Vertical scan mode would be good as well. It's similar to boresight, but radar scans 5 degrees left and right and -2 to +50 donw and up. Edited August 13, 2015 by sashan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrayzeeMonkey Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) For some reason, my 'slave turrets' option doesn't work.I have an M230 turret on my plane with the targeting pod that comes with BDArmory. However when i use the targeting pod, lock the target and click 'slave turrets'. The M230 doesn't seem to respond to it when i switch to it.Also, why are AMRAAMs so tough to dodge?

goldenpeach Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 [...]Also, I don't know why but Millenium can't hit target. My Jetcat flies right through those explosions without even a scratch.I also have the same problem. I even got a direct hit of a shell(but it was set to explode later, so I had no explosions ) and no damage was done. Not even a raise of temperature.edit: I shot some bullet on a plane while it was on the ground. explosions does have some effect with a direct hit.

Hobbes Novakoff Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 A quick suggestion: AI/guards should prioritize destroying enemy radars over enemy SAMs without radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8jester Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 A quick suggestion: AI/guards should prioritize destroying enemy radars over enemy SAMs without radar.Well it may work in some scenarios and playing style. But this may not work for everyone and every scenario. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nickvr628 Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Only mods would be other weapon packs and any mods that change heating would conflict with BDA. Also, for the radar screen, it is finicky sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan.Darklighter Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I don't have access to KSP at the moment, but I need to ask a question while I'm thinking about it, in case I forget later. Does the radar screen work in IVA mode with Raster Prop Monitor? If so, that'd be quite awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BahamutoD Posted August 13, 2015 Author Share Posted August 13, 2015 Is there a way to quickly change the fuse distance of the shells launched by the millenium cannon?it would be useful when a plane is moving fast enough toward you or away from you.No, not really. If you have a target lock, it just calculates the timing with some random variance.Is it just me or are all parts listed under Precision Engineering tech node? Or is it intentional?It's intentional in the sense that career isn't supported at this time.Would it be possible to separate the jammer traits? I just thought of something for RvB about making nosecones that were separate from jammers and radars; there would be a regular nose cone, and a stealth nose cone that would only reduce the RCS of aircraft (obviously it doesn't draw power and isn't toggleable). Then I would make inline radar sets with various traits so players could mix radars with stealthy traits by swapping out nosecones. It's a few more parts, but it makes things more modular.How it would work with stealthy nosecones and jammers... additive? I'm not sure yet as it would probably have to be playtested.EDIT:Speaking of which, I have released the pylons and so on for RvB here. Have fun!Yeah, I guess I can separate the traits.Trivia Question, in my career and sandbox games, when a vessel is equipped with weapons manager and any of the radars it is not able to detect anything, radar screen is blank, even when KSC is littered with old crafts and debris?Any mods known to conflict? Updated with a fresh install and enemy or friendlies not appearing on radar screens?At the moment the radars only detect airborne vessels.I also have the same problem.

Not even a raise of temperature.edit: I shot some bullet on a plane while it was on the ground. explosions does have some effect with a direct hit.I'm experimenting with different implementations of explosions. I also don't like how this one turned out so it'll change in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan.Darklighter Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Another quick question - is there a possibility of a radar part that does not come housed in a nosecone or shrouded in a hull section? I've got at least one craft where the front end is an intake scoop, but adding another cylindrical section would throw off the balance of the craft and replacing a section that has fuel... well in this case it's so tight on fuel already that it's not really an option. I'd like it if there was a smaller part that I could choose to "clip" into an existing craft like that via a small girder segment - or alternatively, place in a housing that I create myself (either from fairings or armor plating). You have radar dish models, but they don't work with tweakscale apparently. (I could probably figure out a way to customize the .CFG to add that bit of code, but then I wouldn't be able to share the craft on sites like Kerbal X etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sashan Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) For all those who need radially attached radar... Hope it is clear enough how to do that. Also, you can use MM to add it to small nosecone or sas nosecone and mount it mig-19 style:This also allows rear-facing radar to control tail guns of bombers.

AlbertKermin Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Ok- I was a little confused by the latest update at first, but now that I've got the hang of it, I'm really a fan.I've been working on a hardened base that can be hyper-edited to a location for battles(without a part count through the roof) and I tried firing on it with the M1 Cannon. My rounds deflected off the angled sides, and ended up blowing up parts of the space center! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanguine-Fiend Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 BahamutoD thanks for answering my questions, for ground targets, I can open the settings and turn on legacy targets and then the missiles will now hit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seamus0riley Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 So the guard mode works great now, the only thing I've noticed is instead of the missiles firing from opposite wings like they used to, they fire from the same side. I put them on with symmetry in case that was it, but it does it for all missiles. Here's a pic: (Clown baby your jets are awesome, btw. I tried forever to make my own and they came out terrible. you're a genius) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
