    If targets are masking (radar can't distinguish location difference between tracks), the additional tracks will show at a fixed offset relative to the first track and will be flashing. They won't be individually selectable until the radar breaks them out.

    Anecdotally, at least in the 2TWS, 4TWS, and maybe HDT modes, I saw a difference in radar performance (track accuracy on flanking/cold targets) when I toggle PRF manually with PB6. I haven't looked recently enough to remember if the mode label changed H vs M. If there is differing info out there, this could also be a difference between sim and IRL behavior.

    JDAM Ripple

    CourageousPotato replied to H60MTI's topic in F-15E

    Anecdotally, I had issues with JDAM single-release when the selected weapon was not the "next in sequence" to come off the jet. Maybe it would work better when the full set of stores is in 1 PACS program and it's rippled like that?

    v2.2: Coolie-short behavior added Entering NDTWS from Mini-Raster uses the same AutoAcq controls as entering TWS from STT Legend for block colors Still unknown: What makes TWS switch TWSH <-> TWSM? Is it automatic with target distance?
  5. CourageousPotato
    Oh that's neat! I'll take a look for myself and add this to the diagram.

    Diagrams.net. Here is the v2.1 file: F-15E Modes.xml

    Similar to my other post about A-A Master Mode HOTAS (and radar modes details), this is a diagram for HOTAS mappings in the front cockpit for A-G Master Mode. I arranged the modes in how they are related by switch direction, so it's more of a map than just a table of state transitions like the manual provides. Inop modes are colored yellow. I haven't updated it since November 1st 2023 so there may be discrepancies with the current state of the module. Notably, smart weapons like JDAMs weren't in the module yet.

    Revised front cockpit displays diagram, v1.1.
  10. CourageousPotato
    Updated diagrams to v2.1. HOTAS diagram got extra details on SRM and GUNS modes, AZ/EL plot got slight formatting changes and markers for slew on guns mode.

    A-A Master Mode diagram improved for version 2.0. I was able to cut out most of the overlapping flow lines.
  12. CourageousPotato
    Ok thanks, I'll edit the diagram accordingly. Another item I just discovered is NDTWS has alternate functionality for Auto-Acq switch IIRC: Auto-Acq back short seems to switch between TWSH and TWSM.

    Hmm the elevation bars may not be correct on the AZ-EL plot. I just came across this figure in the manual, which says (at least for RWS INLV) that bar spacing varies with range (which I'm guessing is the range of the Acq Sym, or the radar range scale). I had based the TWS scan sizes on the 1.5 degree bar spacing given for 2TWSH and 4TWSH and 1 degree bar spacing given for 3HDT and 2HDT. Does anyone know the exact behavior of the radar elevation bars in RWS? Do these elevation bars overlap, causing the typical double-returns that are seen sometimes?

    Updated Radar Modes diagram to add DTT, Boat switch, and Coolie controls. Thanks for the reminder! Here is another diagram I made, with the HOTAS sequences for front cockpit HUD/MPD/MPCD handling.
  15. CourageousPotato
    Yes, move the Acq Sym (TDC Cursor) over the 4TWSH letters on the radar display and TDC Depress short to enter NARROW scan mode. NARROW is pretty situational; it helps when you have two TWS tracks that are separated by ~20,000 ft at ~40nm, but bandits separating in azimuth will quickly leave the scan volume.

    I made a diagram which shows all available transitions between radar modes in search and designated-target modes. I arranged the modes in how they are related by auto-aqc switch direction, so it's more of a map than just a table of state transitions like the manual provides. Inop modes are colored yellow. I also made a plot showing the azimuth-elevation profile of all radar modes. These should be accurate to the degree, with the exception of maybe the boresight mode where I had to interpret "4 degrees circle" as an azimuth/elevation rectangle. Source diagrams.net files are available upon request. Note: Plot azimuth scale is 2.5 degrees per grid cell, and elevation scale is 1 degree per grid cell. This skews the representation of angular area (solid angle) subtended by each of these modes. Supersearch (SS) and Boresight (BS) should be square in shape.
