Hawk MMS 0 Posted April 20, 2007 I am fairly new to the board and to WOE. I hadn't picked up a flight sim since the USNF/ATF/FA series. AWACS... I know there is an E-2 for download but, do these systems work? Can you fly in an silent emcon state and receive track data? I liked the fact that in FA you could fly silent and still have awareness if you had an E-3 up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I liked the fact that in FA you could fly silent and still have awareness if you had an E-3 up. nope I'm an E-2 and E-3 guy by former trade. That isn't modelled - yet. One thing you can do to simulate getting the data link is to have your visual targetting set to easy. That is kinda like having a real controller backing you up. I do that once in awhile although most of the time I leave it at normal. depends on the tactical situation that I've set up. the E-2 model available is OK for background traffic. It doesn't fly right though - the FM is way, way off. And it adds nothing functional to the sim. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SayethWhaaaa 245 Posted April 22, 2007 Unfortunatley, only the ECM and radar search/track options emulate the real thing. ALthough, they're not quite spot on either. The game engine can't handle a lot of the operations of AEW/AWACS just yet... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
