Thanks for clarifaction! Just read it up again in the manual :). Dunno where i picked that "notch=nose" thing up...-.- Didn't double check the 30° azimuth yet but yeah so far i get up values of 6,3°...Dunno, the value seems really odd to me.I did a couple of runs with contacts@different alt - I'm a little bit tired and confused after getting these values :S....Need to think about it and have a look at my test conditions again;). Btw im doing all of this in DCS 1.5b I haven't tried it in 1.2.6 yet.

yea it really seems the radar is 10° up. My +/-5° was solely based on the HUD markers. So what are the HUD markers on the right then? I thought the notch is representing your nose (0°) and the bar letft to the elevation number is your radar cone (10°)...:/ But its a really big gap 12.5 to 14.4...hmmm.

wow thanks for all the fast replies.. ill get more into detail now :) No I can pick up all 3 contacts without changing my heading..the screenshots are about vertical only. But thanks for the hint! Yes already read your guide! I got the same numbers as u. Thanks! Nice guide btw. :) So this means the radar looks basically 10° up in its initial position!? I thought it goes 5° up/down. At least thats what the right side of the HUD shows. yes, excatly he is 26° to the right. Manual states the radar can scan 30° right/left!? And the contact will fade if he is >12,5km left/right

Hi, I did a couple of tests/calculations the last days about the radar of the Su27...and I really got stuck with something...I hope somebody can help me out here and find my mistake.:helpsmilie: Here is what I've tested. I tried the same test at different distances like 20,50,70 away too - So far similar results...I'm still testing. Here are some HUD pictures I've taken: http://imgur.com/a/JgsFe Vertical scan: - I put myself (Su-27) at 5000m, about 650kmh. - I put 3 contacts ( Su-27) 10km in front of me with same speed an 1000m altitude separation. 1st at 6000m, 2nd contact at 5000m and 3rd 4000m respectively. - I put my radar on with default expected range 10km and started to scan with 1+,0,-1 elevation. I tried all PRF settings. At elevation +1 I only see contact 1. I had to dive about 700m to see contact 2 as well on the radar. At elevation 0 I only see contact 1,2. At elevation -1 I only see contact 2,3. So can anyone tell me why I don't see all 3 contacts at elevation 0? Or why I do see contact 3...I should either see all three contacts or only contact 2 at elevation 0. AFAIK my scan zone 10km away from me is about 1750m in total (875m up, 875m down) - If this is right I should only see contact 2 then. Also I shouldn't see contact 2 at elevation -1. Does anybody know how the radar cone is implemented/calculated in the game? It's a 10° degree beam going 5° up and 5° down from your nose in initial position, right? And manipulating the elevation will change the radar angle in relation to the expected range !? Horizontal scan: -Again I put myself (Su27) at 5000m,650kmh -I put 1 contact (Su27) heading towards me 25km away and 12,5km to my right at same altitude. If I scan in initial position without manipulating the radar I'll see the contact on the right limit of my HUD. If I increase my separation to him >12,5km he will disappear on my HUD. So why is the limit at 25km away 12,5km? That's not 30°, isn't it? Thanks for any help! I'll keep testing in the meantime ;)

Same for SU-27. After a crash+respawn on the same slot/aircraft the NAV/Enroute function is gone.

I didn't find a report for this yet... the parachute of other SU27s is not visible when deployed in multiplayer. U can only see your own one. Are u aware of that issue? Thanks!

Hello, does anbody have experience with exporting instruments form the Su-27 cockpit?(Flight clock,RWR and HSI,...). I already have read through the threads in the Mods&Apps section and could setup my 2nd monitor for the A10-C...but i dont know how I could do this for the Su-27. Any help is much appreciated! :) Thanks

is there a way that ppl who get disconnected/connection interrupted or their dcs crashes don't get -lifes? It happened a couple of times yesterday - not only to me. Dunno if that has already been discussed but can we get Mig29s on RED side ? :) Especially in regards to DCS 1.5 and the new 6DOF cockpit of the Mig29. :pilotfly: BTW thanks Greg & Xcom for all the work and effort. Keep it going guys! :)
