SA-2 "through-mountain lock" fixed? Ranges.
-
EDIT: sorry guys, I’m a bit lost there actually. Was the problem fixed already? I thought I still had it, but reverted back to former ranges and realized it was working the same, with engagement ranges matching the PPT ring’s.

Lorik,
After watching this video, I want to comment that you (or anyone really) would really benefit from using a triple monitor setup. Instead of looking back and forth between the launch site and straight ahead using the TRACKIR, you would have both in your FOV quite alot. In my opinion a triple monitor setup is as important as a HOTAS or the TRACKIR. After flying with it, it’s difficult to go without. To me a single monitor is like flying looking through binoculars. I hope you get a chance to try it.
Regards

NigelThank you Nigel. I also need a separate room for a F16 pit but it’s never there when I wake up, if you can do something for me?

Hehehe I understand. But I will say that my first triple setup was a desktop with small monitors and I much prefer that to a single of any size. Borrow a couple extras from your friends, they don’t even have to be the same size a couple extra 15, 17, 23", whatever and just try it if you can.

Room. Space.
EDIT: not the place, guys.

There is a LOS check thatis working in most of cases , but sometimes, there are bugs in this LOS check with terrain
Will not be fixed until the day we have a new terrain engine, which would be in 3 to 4 months

Why? Because this hypothesis can explain too many issues (terrain crashing, bad locks…) ? Its too simple, but as well too domestified bug.
I dont think your video explained the issue…and the title is even more confusing.
Did u understood the issue? If my hypothesis is true, you can not fix your terrain…its up to the devs to fix exe - but they told us, they can live with it until new terrain (high-res?) arrives.
Thanks for explaining , I read some of the post you linked and saw the detailed pics you posted. I kind of understand what was going on, but I knew I couldn’t fix that kind of issue. Now knowing this isn’t fixable by just adjusting things in Sams, thanks to your post and mavJP’s last post, we can realize it is a issue that will just be there for now.
And I just won’t worry much about it anymore. Thanks to both of you guys for stopping us from chasing our tails on this!
We can focus on other things , instead now.

In that specific case, I’m surprised that behind the exact same part of terrain, I have or have not SA-2 radar lock, depending on factors we have troubles identifying. Does not really advocate for the terrain hypothesis, Starrats, does it?

…Is BMS radar LOS algorithm L2 dependent?
Is BMS AI behavior (maneuvering, artifical eyeball etc.) algorithm L2 dependent? -

By the way, I’m working on new Korean campaigns at the moment and tested a flight tonight, didn’t change the terrain of course, nor the SA-2, but did witness “through-moutain-lock”. Not such a big issue to be honest. It’s firing at me, I know it’s happening and I react accordingly. Even though it’s supposed to be impossible, it’s not an issue as long as it’s a SA-2 and my RWR telling me, rather than a SA-10 (which obviously is around too).

how about triple monitor with trackir

Always wondered. What moves? Only the center one?
They all move, then when you look back the left monitor becomes the right monitor
