Weird SAM radar / warning message –- anybody heard this before?
-
Yes. All is normal. It is suppose to sound like that
-
I don’t think so. I can hear the SA-10 RWR tone there but its not what you would normally hear, something is wrong.
Unless its just a very noisy cockpit. And you have your RWR volume down low.
How did you record the sound the static/noise seems to fade in and then out.

Thanks, so is it supposed to sound like this? At first I thought it was an audio bug

In fact, In BMS it is rather all other sounds that are “wrong” and only SA-10 “sounds real”.
IRL, this RWR is “playing” the real music of the radar waveform … and except when the sound produced is clamped, what you hear is the roughly the PRI of the radar which is painting you.
In other words … IRL, RWR sounds (ALR69/93) are not pre-defined synthetic tones like in Falcon4.

I used my mobile phone and then processed the sound in audacity to cut out the non-relevant sections. For good measure I faded the sample in and out as to not blast your speakers when you play it
I was slightly inside the threat circle of the SA-10 when I heard the noice only once as the “10” simple in the HAD when from yellow to a red block. About a minute later –- boom! No launch warning, no wingie calling out, nothing. I guess that’s realistic too…
All the best, Uwe

Yep that was the only warning you get, then your dead.
Turn and run or get below/behind a hill, don’t ignore it. Unless your playing cat and mouse for a buddy.
Have fun.

thanks Shadow! Up to now I never knew what this noise meant, I thought it was a garbled text message of some sorts… I’ll keep this in mind in the future.
All the best,
Uwe

Every time I hear that tone I put my hands down to the ejection seat handle while swearing around.
My girlfriend is amused because normally I’m only swearing after a loud boooom.btw, check my sig^^

Weird thing is that in my Karpathos TE, I’ve been hearing this noise for minutes on end without anything ever happening to me. But I guess it goes to explain many of the weird “engaged defensive” callouts my AI wingies were emitting

I’ve been hearing it in my install a lot while airborn but I’m only being viewed, not shot at when I hear it. IIRC I hear it when I’m within the 10’s radar range but it doesn’t open up on me - then again I’m usually running a TE mission when I’m in the seat.
