Some nice quick additional info for the ALR-56 (based on C-130 version of the system) -signal bearing is determined by comparing differences in signal strength between multiple receiving antennas -the handoff button is used to cycle the priority diamond between each threat -the audio that you hear is only from the currently selected (priority diamond) threat -missile tracking warning audio will overide any other audio (for obvious reasons) -the altitude button changes between high altitude and low altitude modes -the search button will make system display search type radars (normally not displayed) -the act/pwr button doesn't actually do anything (its merely a power indication for AC/DC power)
@saber721 from my BMS days the receiver shows contacts based on threat level and puts them "in" the inner ring if within threat range or outside of it if not in range. Is that correct? As it seems like this system works a bit differently
I know you don't like the Russian RWR, but I'm kind of half and half on it myself. The Western setup is definitely FAR more informative, no doubt. But I think the Russian one is also nice since you can get almost everything you need to know with just a quick glance. Of course, it's usually in some far dark corner of the panel that you have to crouch down fetal in the seat to even attempt to get an eye on it, but that's beside the point....
-A-10C uses the same RWR. Wonder why they didn't just copy that into the F-16 :/- EDIT: Never mind! The A-10 uses ALR-69, which is also used in some F-16 variants but not blk.50
Question: Is the RWR turned on automatically every time you start the plane? Today I was playing in a multiplayer server and a SU-27 shot me down from reasonably far away without a warning. At first I thought it was an R-27T (IR-seeking missile) and that that’s the reason I didn’t get a warning, but it just dawned on me that the entire time I was playing on that server I didn’t get anything on my RWR. I’m getting a feeling I was flying around with my RWR turned off, but I might be wrong.
But where you successfull in evading it lol? Damm looks like I have to get a new joystick setup and get the viper for dcs... had a blast with all the Falcon series back in the day
quick question.. iam thinking about buying the high fidelity f16c since its on sale right now. But I cant find any information about the afterburner sounds in cockpit. On your first impressions video you were saying that it doesnt have that afterburner "pop" sound like the FC3 model does. Is this fixed by now? because i really like the sound in the FC3 model. But still would rather fly the high fidelity model. Thanks in advance :)
How do you get the aural warnings for radar lock and missile launch?? I cranked up the volume knob for the threat audio but I don’t hear any warnings at all...
Same here, don't know if it's a bug or if I just dont set the RWR up correctly, would have been nice to have a "how to boot the RWR" at the beginning of the vid !
@@grimreapersYeah we are a handfull of people who seem not to have any audio RWR indications (as well as some audio cues such as "Pull Up" or "Chaff, Flare". Others (Bingo, Altitude) are working fine) The strange thing is, if a Test is done, all of thoses cues are played correctly and in acceptable volume. Seems like a bug.
NoBrainSilent Found the issue. eagle dynamics said people without the F18 don’t hear sounds right now since they are using F18 sounds as a placeholder for the current RWR. This will be fixed in the next patch asap.
Grim Reapers Seems to be working for those who have the F18 module. It reads those files. For those without the F18 module, we have to wait for an update. Thank You for reply, will check to make sure.
Please don’t turn away from SAMs, the real life procedure is you turn towards them, and lower altitude to escape the operating altitude window, the whole point is to reduce the time for the missile to maneuver towards your position. Like if you are getting hit by SAMs located at sub 15nm away… I don’t know.. And I’m talking from a different sim, Falcon BMS, it’s my go to, the missile systems there and all the bombs and LGBs etc etc, variety of campaign missions… epic multiplayer, so yeah.
@@DoveEnigma13 right, but the functions still remain the same and they operate in a very very similar fashion.... I dont see what the big deal is about the f18 RWR. For me it makes just as much sense as any other RWR. What do you find so silly about the F18 RWR?
It’s backwards. In the F-16 and A-10 the danger radar sources are in the inner circles. It’s the way I learned how to read RWR. And the F-18 can split them up so the direction becomes irrelevant. It’s just one of the many things I don’t like about the hornet.

08:17 the missle knows where it is because it knows where it isnt :D
yeah, your RWR will know where that fox 3 will be as it has its own radar :D
Only with INS

Thx Cap. You're really pumping these out. Much appreciated😎👍
You guys make awesome tutorials!! Looking forward to more on the F-16C. Keep it up!
I did some practice with the CBU-97 today, it's amazing. I will wait for the tutorial too
Well I dont even know how to set my rwr to go so a complete set up for rwr would be nice
Thank you so much for the tutorials!
OMG these are so helpful now that I got DCS!
great tutorial! Keep em coming!

I lol'd.
so no different sounds per threat type either for the Viper, that's something that I loved from Falcon BMS
atm the f-16 uses the f-18 hornet threath sounds. i guess the f-16 will get their own sounds soon. :)
@@sz3318 *starts to pray to ED*...
This is exactly why I clicked have not been able to play a lot since Thursday.
yeah
i also miss the classic "beep beep beep" missile warning tone, i had it as my ringtone
i hate the hornet threat sounds, they are very annoying
@@johjoh9270 with the latest update the falcon has it's real life RWR sounds
It knows where the missile is by knowing where the missile isn't
That's INS. Totally different
Red Arrows were awesome to watch today. I really wish there was a way I could share some of the photos for you here.
6:00 it was at that moment cap knew he fucked up
Good job with explanation and symbology.
Would be helpful to inform others that the ugly RWR sounds are currently borrowed from the ugly Hornet and is WIP. :)
Why are they using the f-18 rwr sounds and not the 16’s???
varmint87 early access so still work in progress.
yeah that definitely doesn't sound like an ALR-56
Exactly

If you are ground starting you have to turn it on.
@@grimreapers Ah, I see it now. Thank you!
@@grimreapers and how do we turn it on……? Nice tutorial on not how to use it.
This was very helpful thank you.
Great video! Thank you!

Someone were
very helpful as always >>> thanks a lot
7:10 I always thought that was because you were notching the radar?
Maybe it's just me having come from the FC3 planes and then the Hornet but I hate the new RWR sounds on the 16 too discrete.
at 1:06 what is that page called?
Must have found it in the F-16 manual. Not sure page number.
where's the button to turn on the rwr? I did all the tutorials but none of them showed how to turn it on.
I didn't show in vid? OOps OK left of CMDS(countermeasure) panel you will see 4 buttons in a square. Bott right of those 4.
@@grimreapers Thanks man works perfectly! Yeah the in the DCS cold and dark and the taxy tutorial's neither had how to turn it on.

Can you link the file to the table you used for the abbreviations? I am trying to turn it into a kneeboard page.
I can't find it sorry. Can you screen grab it from vid?
@@grimreapers No worries I found the download on the ED website. Thanks!
ALR-56M (ALR-67 as placeholder until ALR-56M gets done)
first thing firts, how do you turn on the RWR? because i don't have a clue hahaha
power button is on those 4 buttons low and left. Shown somewhere in vid.
Anyone know how to turn the RWR volume down?
Has anything changed in regards to those 3 of 4 buttons being inop on the left side? The Search and low level buttons and such?
i want to know too
Nice video but actually there is no sound for guys who doenst own the F-18 hornet. I hope they fix it soon.
ah! thanks for sorting out this mystery.
@@grimreapers and thank you for your helpful tutorials!
I heard that the F-16 got an update for the RWR sounds, will there be a video explaining the new sounds?
My launch ( Missilealarm) button does not light up nor does any audio appear when a missile is fired at me . What am i doing wrong?
@@_DANZIG_ make sure you turn on the rwr (bottom right button out of 4 to the left of the countermeasures that says power)

Hi Cap, when i turn on the RWR there is no sounds .. even when i detect threts... and the soud wheel is on full.. may be a bugg..
currently only works if u have Hornet. Will be fixed
@@grimreapers thax Cap.
Maby some time in the future we ( Scandinavian digital airforce) can do some co op missions with you guys. Take care .
Good Job!
@Grim Reapers How to turn it on?
Gentlemen, how or where can we switch the RWR audio on pls?
there is a knob on the main audio panel on left?

thx!
When will you upload the cold start vid?
done but will be come visible tomorrow
From a fairly new simmer (I've flown F/a-18 in DCS but that was a long time ago), would this module be worth it?
Y not?
@@anomaly_echelon7994 I actually just pulled the trigger on it :) its downloading right now :)
@@coflyer2949 awesome good luck with it
Just remember it's very much work in progress so at this stage is pretty much just a frame
That's the thing with early access, and the F16 really is EARLY access.
no one ever says HOW TO TURN IT ON
Oh, down and left from the gear handle. Four square buttons together. It's the lower right of the four.
I was thinking the same thing it was driving me bloody bonkers.
Grim Reapers
Thanks Cap
I feel as though some of this may be outdated now. Am I wrong?
Something has changed on the RWR?
@@grimreapers Someone said that Low Alt was functional and JUST NOW someone else said they were not sure. Ill research and let you know for certain.
I have no sound for rwr
Have you turned sound knob up?

@@grimreapers yes i did but i cant hear any warning
These sounds are totally different now right?
Very likely yes

Almost

Its still a game tho
The RWR that actually makes sense.
F-18 is just silly
agree
How?? It's the same thing...
No they’re not. AN/ALR-67 is in the hornet and harrier, AN/ALR-69 is in the F-16 and A-10. Navy/marines are laid out different from Air Force.
@@DoveEnigma13 right, but the functions still remain the same and they operate in a very very similar fashion.... I dont see what the big deal is about the f18 RWR. For me it makes just as much sense as any other RWR. What do you find so silly about the F18 RWR?
