August 28, 20187 yr Issue Information ⦁ Issue ID #000030 ⦁ Issue Type Issue ⦁ Severity 0 – None Assigned ⦁ Status 12 – Working as Intended ⦁ Version 2009.083 ⦁ Fixed in Radar LOS calculation errorPosted by Grumble on 21 July 2013 - 01:33 PM Radar LOS is not calculated correctly, radars detect targets over the horizon and LOS.Most recently I observed this in HDS3 9.0, I hoped to be able to "sneak out" my Tel Aviv Hawkeye from under the Damascus SAM umbrella by pairing it with a ground attack a/c. (Otherwise the Hawkeye is spawned at high altitude immediately at take off, which I guess is a compromise for AEW, but a painful one.) The trick works, the Hawkeye-Skyhawk twosome starts at low but Damascus is still detecting them and launches SAMs.The test scenario demonstrates this by launching the pair from Nevatim, load the scenarios as RED, Damascus immediately detects the E-2C at 149nm, well beyond true LOS. The -l radar log confirms the wrong LOS.100001 search.c:881 - Radar Emitter=Damascus Target=E-2C Hawkeye, TargetRange=149, Radar LOS = (BaseLOS x weather_mod + 128)/256100001 search.c:882 - Radar LOS of 246nm = (246nm x 256 + 128)/256 --> Radar LOS=60644/256100001 search.c:888 - A RCS=164 TName=E-2C Hawkeye AName=Damascus Range=149 Die=37 aPD=70100001 search.c:961 - B RCS=164 ARng=300 Arng=300 SRng=60 Srng=60100001 search.c:1020 - Detected E-2C Hawkeye with Air Radar of range 300 with PD 70, Roll=37100001 search.c:1040 - Type and Height of target knownTested with 2009.050,076 and 083, I have not yet installed 086 but I guess the radar model was not changed.
