Yes, and my guess is also that unlike the Draken it was designed to operate close to the ground and this was one way to hunt at those altitudes without using Doppler-technique.

Long answer: when sending out beams when "locking" in air/air mode the radar uses two return intervals, one "long" and one "short". It sends out a beam and waits for the return on a specific time, either the long return interval or the short one. At first the intervals are set close to the aircraft, where the short one is the time it takes the beam to travel the closest possible distance and back and the long one is the time it takes the beam to travel to a slightly longer range and back. If there is no return signal in, for example the short range interval, the intervals are increased proportionally until both intervals has a return signal. If there is a return signal in both timeframes the interval is frozen. This way the air is longitudinally scanned until both intervals has return on a somewhat common distance, and that distance is where the target is assumed to be. There is no information about the bearing or pitch to the target when "locking", and the wording is a bit confusing. The point of why they designed it this way is to minimize interference, esp ground interference.

It helps the pilot to know when the target is in range for the missile.

It really doesn't "lock" a target in the modern sense, but shows the range to whatever is in front of the aircraft. It also stores the last distance/closing rate measured and extrapolates from that. The radar is not steered to the target nor is the seeker head in the missile.

I've added ciribobs script and steve2112. Sorry for taking so long, but I've been super-busy with another project you'll hopefully appreciate more.

Las Vegas is 620m or 2030ft above sea level. The other places on the map is significantly higher I believe.

... and "Use ECM" on/off

Well me and my wife is looking forward to me start using that Automatik Fart Kontroll...

Impressive!

I had to search hard for this old post http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=1982586 No idea if it still works though.

Wonderful! This sounds like really fun in TvT mp!

Do you have some kind of demonstration of your skills, like a comparison of your CFDs and wind tunnel or real life data?

Cant you just map the bindings that are normally set to the mouse? Check your control settings in DCS and axis settings.

Did you initialize the tables (like medevac.boardedCounts.counter) to hold enough items for you to be able to hold the unitID? From what I remember the unitID could be a number 1000+ which means your tables need to be at least that long.

Good work!

Isn't anyone going to comment on the fact that there is a F-5E on the picture of today's newsletter?

How about joining an existing group? What are your qualifications? Especially if you are somewhat comfortable programming in C++ or similar and if you have some engineering background there are a lot of groups that are very interested in talking with you.

Received two emails at 3 am in the night here.

Any potential dangers in a faster-than-normal carrier landing? Wow that was really quick thinking by the pilot. I wonder if they train for such events? I don't understand what the next jet is doing though, was he supposed to land so shortly after the first one? Really looking forward to a Su-33 with PFM...

You probably forgot one of the three switches above the right side panel. It's a trim system activator or something.

Maybe the development was HINDered...

It looks like the problem is either the HSI or the VVI

I don't think it's possible...

Nice progress!
