weapons lock

[wld427 1705]

Im having an issue with the gunner on one of our SAM units. The radar for the launcehr can see and identify the target as red but it cannot lock the missile until the ircraft is in visual range..... how can i fix this?

irScanRangeMin = 4000;
irScanRangeMax = 10000;
irScanToEyeFactor = 5;
irScanGround = false;

what effect does changing irScanToEyeFactor have? Why is the irScanRangeMin set to 4000?

thise are the values BIKI uses for the ZSU and the engagement envelope is very comperable to the SAM system we are working on....

irScanRangeMin = 4000;

irScanRangeMax = 10000;

irScanToEyeFactor = 5;

irScanGround = false;

Check the ammunition for the irLock and the magazine for maxLeadSpeed. Also the launcher for the canLock feature.

E.g.:

   class M_Vikhr_AT: MissileBase {
...
       irLock = 1;
   };
...
   class 12Rnd_Vikhr_KA50: VehicleMagazine {
...
       maxLeadSpeed = 200;
...
   class RocketPods: LauncherCore {
...
       canLock = 2;

Some sample-weapons have canLock = 1 other have canLock = 2. It seems that the last may enable auto-lock...

I hope this helps, but I am not 100% sure...

BR,

mike

:edit: I once ran into problems, because the veteran mode disabled the lock on the TOW. So I guess canLock=2 enables veteran mode lock ebabled...

Try setting irScanRangeMin and irScanRangeMax as identical values - that worked for me when I was trying to increase the range of my Avenger:

       irScanToEyeFactor = 5;
       irScanRangeMin = 5000;
       irScanRangeMax = 5000;

Also, try decreasing the cost of your missiles to 1000.

Typo error in SidewinderLauNcher ?

That it ?
