so it works, but you have to switch modes a few times, or you can STT from TWS, but from RWS, no.

yep, affects exterior view only.

You'd use RWS if there's more than 10 things to track in front of you (say 5 friendlies and 5 enemies). It should display up to 40 things, but as others have pointed out, it doesn't do tracking. So you have a dot, but you won't know which direction they're headed, you just have altitude. The good thing is, you can know which way they're pointed with the Link-17. So, if the awacs can see them you can see that on your SA page. You can get more range from RWS than other modes, but that's about it. The radar itself should be able to calculate RCS (its listed as a feature of the radar itself) so you could theoretically identify which airplanes you're seeing, but they didn't put it in the game. Also RWS is supposed dto go into STT once you lock a target, but that doesn't seem to work well currently. STT is better for keeping a lock on a wildly maneuvering aircraft, its unbreakable. TWS is supposed to be easier to break (ex: if the plane goes into a steep dive or does a quick turn) but it's overperforming right now.

I found a workaround for this, you have to manually load, select the appropriate missile and quantity, it turns red, then select the wrong missile and quantity, it goes blank, then you select the appropriate missile and quantity and it's good.

I have been messing with RWS more in the latest patch, and you can't lock something up in RWS, it switches to TWS, and you have to switch again to RWS, then lock them again, then you press the second button on the top to access other radar sub modes, but those don't seem to change anything, and I still don't see SAM mode.

that happens to me on the Marianas map if I don't start the engine within the first 5 minutes. If I can get it started and get the cooler on, I bring it up around 20,000 ft and put 'ram air' and then switch back to normal, that seems to cool off the electronics enough that the warnings go away. Then all you have to do is press the FCS reset button.

autopilot does seem to randomly stop trying to hold altitude, even though it says it's holding altitude.

After firing on the first one, it should switch to the second, and allow you to fire on that. If you're trying to do ripple, no it will not do that.

I don't know, but I did notice there's some radar information in a lua that you can change (such as max left and right angles -- they're set at 60 now, and the beam width -- its 3) maybe that's it? I didn't see anything else that could possibly be changed manually.

Is this fixed? I see they changed it so now the two eyes will render at the same time, where before it was rendering the left eye first then the right.

It's the pilot's teeth chattering. Play it on GS where the temperature is -15c and as soon as you start up, the pilot's teeth will be chattering. If you try to do auto startup, you'll die of hypothermia before it completes. It's happened even with everything connected and the engine warmed up, if you get about 80% of your screen blurred out, nothing you can do can save the pilot. I've had the game crash a couple times (while testing out a new auto-startup script)

I used to be able to select my weapons from the 'load' menu of the 'sms' page, but since the latest patch I can't do that. If I load my plane, use the DTC to set it, then land somewhere, re-arm, I can't go back and load the sms manually, well, I can, but the weapons are red. I have to use the DTC to load the plane's SMS.

When I am using my radar in RWS mode, I read somewhere that when you bug a target in RWS it switches to STT/SAM mode. This does not happen, instead it switches to TWS mode and either randomly slews the radar to the wrong location, or just doesn't lock and instead switches me to a smaller degrees but in the right location, and I have to bug the target again. I can't seem to get SAM working at all.

What I've read is DTOSS is for you to aquire the target on the hud and then its CCRP from there.

yea I'd like that, it is difficult to get on the proper heading, but I think the line just points to a side of the circle, so it doesn't matter where you fly really, just go towards the circle.

Excellent. I look forward to this update, maybe I can finally start talking to others.

that's just a quick guide, not a manual, and it's very slopshod.

see title - there's no manual available on ED's site, but it makes reference to documentation in english and chinese. Where is the actual manual to download?
