For those interested, I will add that depending on the vertical position of the cursor, we influence the "speed" of radar search by narrowing or expanding the vertical range of the antenna. If we know what height the enemy is at, we lower the TDC down the radar screen and then by adjusting the elevation of the antenna (not by moving the TDC cursor) we move the narrowed scanning range, which is searched much faster by the radar. As a result - we shorten the time to detect the target. In the opposite case - TDC cursor in the upper part - extended vertical search range, slower scanning but more vertical space to search.

Well, set the radar to, for example, 80 miles, leave the TDC in the middle of the radar screen and set the elevation so that it reaches as high as possible from zero (0-41) - that is, from the imaginary ground surface to 41,000 feet at a maximum distance of 80 miles. Then, without moving the radar elevation, move the TDC cursor towards the top of the radar monitor... stop when the low value jumps to 1,000 feet and read the high value... Don't forget to enter it here ok? Moving the cursor changes the vertical position of the antenna, just as moving it to the left and right changes the horizontal position of the antenna depending on whether you have a narrowed beam or not. As I see, very few people know how to use the radar in the F-15C...

A few things: First of all - the TDC cursor above the middle line of the radar screen, preferably around the third horizontal line from the bottom - what does it do - extends the vertical scanning range of the radar. Secondly - and basically PRIORITY - to learn what frequencies of radar work at which aspects of the objects are most effective. In this particular case, since you are following the intercepted target - flying in the same direction as it - the radar frequency should be set to "medium" MED - and not high HI, not "mixed" Hi-MED. Another thing is that at a distance of less than 10 miles it is much more effective to switch to boresight or vertical mode - then the avionics will find and lock on the target.

I have a feeling that using the radar, finding the target, locking and finally launching the missile to it has nothing to do with the fact that ALL THREE MONITORS in the F-15C's cabin shine too intensely at night. While the lighting of the clocks can be turned off and HUD can be brightened or dimmed - the glow of the radar screen, RWRa and MFD at night can cause headaches and eye pain. Especially when approaching a tanker when you have the gamma set somewhere at 20%, the moon is not there and you approach the tanker with the radar turned off without using the HUD's locked target indicator. In such conditions, the first thing I think about is to cover these monitors with insulating tape ...

Maybe your writing needs to be calibrated in a way that reflects your intentions? He may have trouble calibrating sarcasm here, which will translate into misinterpretation of the answers given here. When he finds source materials, he is unlikely to find sarcasm in them.

Do you know what is the difference between the approach to the principle of public information in the US and democratic countries and, for example, Russia? In this, among other things no one is prosecuting anyone for sharing information that is classified as non-classified or has been declassified. Information about planes and their versions from 30-40-50 years ago is no secret in the West. If something is still considered crucial for security or is still an advanced technology that is unavailable to others - potential adversaries - then these elements are excluded from disclosure. That's why no one covers the cockpits of older fighters that have not been modified to the latest standards at the shows - and those that were have certain elements covered. In addition, very often modifications include software that is operated from the level of MFD and you can't see these without turning on the power systems, etc. So you can't do anything, for example, by taking a photo of the latest versions of the F-15E without turning on the power supply and suspecting the individual functions displayed on the monitors and HUD . And returning to the chasing for something - as I wrote - what I mentioned are generally available materials and no one is prosecuting anyone for them. As like as the Haynes company publishes detailed "manuals" of building fighters, helicopters, cars, etc. Anyone chasing them? I don't think so.

What I meant was that you will find "millions" of photos of the cockpit front "board" and side panels of the F-15E on the web. Just search. My surprise was related to the question about "photos of the F-15E pilot's cockpit panels" - as I wrote above - there are plenty of them, you only need to be willing to find them, not to mention the documentation - the real one - of the "flight manual" type for F-15 pilots where there are sketches panels, control sticks, throttles with described functions of individual buttons, switches, etc. It's enough - instead of going for the easy way and asking right away, spend a dozen or so minutes in a google or other browser. I understand that I am about to be eaten by those willing to help everyone and in everything, be called me the worst ... but unfortunately I see how for some 40 years society has been "mentally declining" despite the fact that it has 100x more tools to find information than 40 years ago ... In the past, you had to go to the library, buy a book, go to the airport and try to talk to the pilots, the ground staff. Not to mention the situation of people living "behind the Iron Curtain" - try to imagine collecting information about such an F-15A/C in the 1980s, people living - like me - in Poland or another country of the former Warsaw Pact ... A trip to West Germany, England ... it was almost a trip to the moon ... But it was possible. Today, a moment in Google is enough ... and people come to the forum with the simplest questions - why bother and search if someone tells me ... The question is who makes a bigger fool out of whom? And Bedouin, don't take it personally - it's just a loose remark to take into consideration, ot not. Maybe worth a moment of reflection... maybe not...

But are you serious?

In the F-15A, one hundred percent of the backlight of the clocks was white, in the F-15C, rather too. It was definitely not red/amber.

I've never used anything like this. I treat DCS like a simulator, not a game

Besides, it's great - I have an average fps increase of 40-50% ED+MT =

I am flying above three layers of clouds (>40 000 feet) and can see objects on the ground 20-30 miles away. Marked points are air defense vehicles and trucks standing on the ground. There was no such thing before.

Yes

What RAZBAM will release will be known the day you install the module. Announcements from a year ago about what is to appear on the release date of the module with announcements from the last month are not 100% consistent. So what will happen in the next X months who knows? Sure you know... Anyway, it's fun to evaluate something that doesn't exist and compare it to something that is Or maybe telling me what other modules are that will do the same or more, remind me how much time after the release of F/A-18C got ATFLIRA? Or how long after release did he get the ability to drop laser-guided bombs? Not to mention a whole lot of other stuff... So keep telling yourself how other modules will do better what the F-15E will do. So much for the quality of the modules. And it all boils down to a simple want buy, don't want don't buy. And what, how, for how much and on what terms the seller decides - that's about it.

I will write it differently - ED did DCS. You installed it and you play it. More or less successful modules come out from time to time. Some are improved for years, others announced for years. You decide whether to buy them, when and for how not ED, Razbam or others. They only put the goods on the shelf in the state in which it is at the time of selling. You decide whether you want him or not. Certainly none of us has the right to negate the sales policy, loyalty or related to the issue of subsequent elements of this product. Unless you are a co -creator and one of the parties has not fulfilled the contract. If you are a user/customer, you can always change the "store" and buy something else. When I go shopping, I do not point out in the store "A" and that in store "B", they added a half kilo of meat to the bought loaf of bread - I return to store B. I do not organize a protest before the store, rally/congregation because the store decided that some articles will not be covered Promotion - I'm going to another store. And if another store does not have what I need/I want, I either buy and not whine or give up shopping. And as for the question that any module does not give you wants, and you can do the same in other module ... Maybe in DCS there should only be F-16 in total everything can be done with it ... Why other modules? You assess what maybe and what the F-15E which you have not seen on the eyes, it is not known when it will come out. From the announcement, you conclude, at most, the likelihood of what he will have and what he will not. It may be, conclude that he will be released for the Christmas 100% complete... problems and divagations and subsequent reasons to complain...

This is not the only place where people vent their grievances about this fact. Maybe read the whole topic about the pre-sale, which after its launch went to "oh man, I can't use the mile" ... People here and there accuse others that they can afford or can't afford the purchase, or throw mud on ED or RaZBAM because they didn't turn on the program mile F-15E. Do I have to explain for them? I can repeat what I've already said - if someone can't afford it, let them change their hobbies or adapt their needs to their abilities. And he's not looking for someone to blame for not being able to spend his miles to save money - if you don't buy an F-15E, you probably won't die. You don't need it to live. You want to buy it, buy it. I don't understand where is the room for any further discussion here? You can discuss the module, its quality and whether it's cool or not. But not about the financial policy of ED and RAZBAM - this is just their buissnes. You or I accept or don't - buying or unlisted module. I'm always amused by people who try to straighten out someone's wallet, the way they earn or spend their own money. Maybe you can advise ED how they should run the whole "company"?

Writing - "it is a pity that there is no mileage program in this case" - is than expressing an opinion about the fact. And it's another thing to accuse creators/developers of cheating, stealing, having bad intentions, and worst of all - that they want to earn by selling their work on their own terms.

I meant the distances at which they tried to launch the Sidewinders. In two cases before the AiM-120 hit. Hwang attempted to launch the Sidewinders twice from about 10 miles away. Did I say something about MiGs being shot down by Sidewinders? In fact, no one waits until the target is at 2 miles. Only sitting in an armchair in front of the computer, this is how your fights look like - beer / cola in hand, calculation of when it's best to launch a projectile - if it fails, I'll try again. Why the effectiveness of A-A rounds is calculated around 60-70% Not at all because of their defects and design, because manufacturers for at least 20-30 years assume the effectiveness of Sidewinders of the latest versions or AMRAAMs at the level of 80-85%. Very often, projectiles are fired "beyond" the ideal conditions to reach the targetfor both medium and short range missiles. As for hits from 7-9 miles with the Sidewinders, Python here have been such hits in both the Israeli and Iraq wars. On fast search - Sidewinders fired from 5-6 miles (10 km)

Instead of doubting, read the pilots' reports... e.g. 493 Grim Reapers from MiG-29 shootdowns over former Yugoslavia... But of course you can also listen to theoreticians from this forum...

Same cockpit layout (same habits in finding a place under the tanker), in the same place the refueling socket, E should behave at refueling speeds almost exactly like C - so it will only help you, it certainly won't hurt.

Again, no one is forcing you to buy DCS. If you don't have the money for the module, don't buy it. It doesn't matter how much you earn, if it's too expensive, change your hobby instead of whining.

Is anyone forcing you to buy DCS modules? Enjoy the free TF-51 and Su-25 or free community mods. What ED or individual module developers do in terms of sales, miles, pre-sales, early access, etc. is their business. You don't like what they do? Do not buy. It's called "free market" you want to buy - buy it, you think that someone is cheating you, stealing, not giving you what you want - you don't buy. Easy? I bought it for 59.99, if it was for 70 theses I would buy it, if it was for 100 the same. I bought Persian Gulf, Syria, Atlantic, AV-8B, and some other FC3 modules. I never used a mile. Not only that, I only fly the F-15C. Somehow it didn't occur to me to cry that I can't give away modules that I don't use. Once again - if someone doesn't like something, don't buy it - you can always play "for free" in WarThunder, World of Warplane, etc. What's all the crying about?

For me spring starts in March

Try to count the modules in DCS that are not WIP / Early Access It will turn out that there are almost none
