Dear ED developer, please read this thread for extremely detailed bug report: https://forums.eagle.ru/topic/278340-ins-only-ccip-in-the-hornet/

Instead, you should ask, why no noticeable difference in 120 performance before and after the fix.

It is pretty hard to believe on such a new aircraft the radar gunsight is significantly worse than the rest of the system on board of JF-17. Computing power is rarely the limiting factor on modern aircraft. Radar gunsight should be really accurate and in real time. M2k may be too old for that. But JF17 can do much better. Even Xiaomi phones can do all the computation of that in real time.

Just shoot down the friendly first, then the radar will unlock. :music_whistling:

Hi, I find it is quite difficult to lock a target on the MFCD using TDC. You have to press the lock button within in ~0.5 seconds after the radar beam sees the target. After that it won't allow you to lock on it even both me and target is traveling in straight line. It looks like the radar has no or really short memory and no prediction of TWS target when trying to track it.

Hi, in ACM(dogfight) mode, when you locked a target, it cannot be unlocked unless it moves out of the gimbal limit of the radar. You can test it with any ACM radar mode. Take BS mode for example. If you locked a target, switch to BS mode, move target well out of BS circle. Press unlock button. The target cue and BS circle will flash but the same target is still locked. Even if there's another target currently in the BS circle.

Thanks, nice to know what is going on. And even better knowing that dev is working on a fix.

Update, when have a radar track. Then you uncage the IR seeker head. The seeker head will slew to the radar target. But the missile will fly to and hit the target even when the seeker is caged and not locking to a heat source.

Hi, Does the A2A radar gun sight has a significant delay? Or it is not giving the correct lead. I find even when I stationed the reticle right on top of the target for over 3 seconds, all my rounds still fall short. I find it is much easier to hit without using the radar gun sight. Could developer give some comment on the radar gun sight? The radar gun sight on F-14 from 1980s work so much better than the one on JF-17.

Yes, JF-17 is amazing given it is still in beta stage. And Deka has done a lot of work, improving it fast.

Hi, A minor bug: emergency jettison key bind works with button cover closed.

Hi, first of all thank you so much for so many fix! Great work! I noticed that the IR seeker head does not always slew to the radar target and even when the IR seeker of the PL5 is not locked to a radar tracking target (no tone, not locking to any target). The missile will still fly to the radar target and result a hit.

Please not another mig21...

Nice, thank you so much!

Dear Naquaii, With some careful testing, I confirmed that this little bug is linked to my previous report that switch between PD-STT and P-STT will cause lose of lock. Whenever the line is not pointing to the target due to bank angle, if player or jester switch between PD-STT and P-STT at that moment, the lock will break immediately. I guess it will also solve a long standing question why Jestor is so bad at maintaining STT lock. (Because he will switch to P-STT when the target is within 10NM, most of the time F14 is cranking at that moment, causing the line pointing away from the target, thus breaks lock) Please look into it a little bit more. Just try switching between PD-STT/ P-STT. (with a little hack, i.e. with some key bind modding, You will be able to test it easily in the pilot seat in that case) I love your F14 module so much that I wish it to be perfect. Please take a look into this issue as well, and I wish you all the best in the development! With love and all my respect of the developer team. Rabbisaur

Hi, Naquaii, I've just tested again, in PD-STT it is the same, the line direction is depends on your bank angle. It is more likely the line is in a wrong coordinate reference..

Thank you for your reply. I’m quite experienced with F14 and fox1 blueflag PVP server. So I’m pretty confident that 1) I know gimbals and how to crank efficiently 2) I know that I’m reporting a real bug.

Dear Naquaii, thank you so much for reply to my post. In the screen shot, on the TID you can see a line, indicating the radar pointing direction. In pd stt mode. It always link from F14(self) to the target. However in P-STT. The line point to some strange place depending on your bank angle a lot.

No, spotify is blocked in China. So no spotiify or youtube or facebook or Twitter or twitch on JF-17

(Please check the screen shot in my previous post in the previous page if you only see this) It makes thinking that this might be something deeper. It might be the reason behind my previous bug report: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=249216 I’ve been busy recently. It will be great if some one can also test this. I will test it again when I have time.

I knew there's something wrong! in P-STT mode, TID is not horizontal stab. Please take a look at the screen shot: https://ibb.co/pwRv4Q4 It is clearly showing that in P-STT, on the VDI, the target is off to my left side, but I'm banking right. The line on the TID is not horizontal stab, as it is pointing not at the target due to my bank angel. The target is at correct location though. But the line is super misleading, many times causing me to go over gimbal limit during cranking. Sorry if this screen shot will cause nausea to some people. I feel it too at this bank angel. But it is quite common when one tries to crank and then descend.

@HB developers, Does this make some sense to you? "Radar/datalink contacts polar is computed agaist plane matrix, should be sensor matrix." I wonder when in STT, the TID of F14 should also be horizontal stabilised so that if you bank left or right the TID still reflecting the horizontal situation. Is that correct?

Horizon stab does not equal ground stab...

You are correct sir!

When you have a lock on a target at 12 OC, and you are banking 90 degree to the left. Turn about 30 degrees to the left. Do you see the line to the target move 30 degrees to the right on TID? If you see that on 90 degree left bank. Then it is horizon stabbed. If you only see the 30 degree angle after you roll back to 0 degree bank. Then it is bugged.
