FFG strange links

louloupenalty · 03-02-08, 03:31 PM

Hello to all i'm a big fan of SC and DW which i owned for almost 3 years now...
I've been wondering for a long time if i was doing something wrong but couldn't ever find the solution on subsim, even though it must have been discussed here.

The point is, with the FFG (which is my favorite platform

), if i set TMA autocrew on (re-

) and there are many other linked platforms (especially friendly air assets as far as i can see), i often get "false contacts": i mean they are radar contacts recently acquired which suddenly appear as a friendly ship and the source is designated as "link(1001)".

Obviously it can't be a link from 1001 since i am 1001, didn't link the contact and furthermore, never had the time to ID it to "friendly" or classify it (most of the time it happens right after a radar contact is detected).

I finally got rid of the problem by disabling TMA autocrew, but i have to say that in SP, you often can't keep hands on vital ship's systems while trying to get a picture of what's around you!

Well that's it, i hope some people can tell me what's wrong with me or if it's a known problem which has already been adressed.

Finally, let me thank you all for this forum's great knowledge source, this must be my first post here but i may have read hundreds before!!!

Yeah, this is an old one, but since it was odd link behavior I never suspected it could be corrected by disabling aTMA. Not much TMA gets done on an FFG, so this solution could clear up most of the problem if it works. Thanks.
