+/- 65º lateral -76º / +54º vertical

ED should do an improvised but functional system with the IFF. I would like to have something functional and not 100% realistic rather than not have a system at all. This also would be more ralistic than hiting a button to IFF because of blue or red coalition.

I found pulse search is useful at medium-close range, specially at close range as you said. Is there a way to know the altitude of the target on the DDD without doing STT? I lose a lot of SA not knowing this because I need to look at the antena elevation to calculate the aprox altitude.

Oh yes I forgot about the +-100 knots cold blind spot for doppler.

Is there a benefit from using in medium to close range pulse search vs RWS with the MLC filter off? From what I read the only difference is it has the posibility to change the STAB A/C. For close range RWS looks like is the best option.

Agree with the first. For the second I see it very difficult or impossible without some fundamental changes in DCS. But if we are going to have more multicrew aircrafts in the future (F-4, F-15E, Mi-24, Tornado ?) it would be nice to have at least an option to set how much knowledge the RIO or WSO has.

Yeah, makes sense. I made a shorter table from the data of the table that made karon and is not as precise but its much faster to read.

The ARC 182 both mode selectors have no marking and its impossible to know what's selected.

Thanks! I saw your video, really helpful. :thumbup:

I was looking for this https://karonshome.files.wordpress.com/2019/05/k-f-14-awg9-elevation-model.pdf. Thanks.

Is there a rule to set the radar elevation? When the target is at the maximum rage on the TID its easy to set using the maximum and minimum numbers of the left but when the target is in between it gets really tricky. :helpsmilie:

If I'm not mistaken it has EO guidance, so no RWR warning.

My problem with Jester is when I'm turning and he says nails 6 o'clock and in reality is 9 or 3 depending on the turn since its the way the RWR its working. When he does these types of calls I'm always like, its really behind me? I always get more confused than if he doesn't say anything.

OMG It has Datalink! https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=4000622&postcount=2 Nice :thumbup:

If you're doing very simple missions, yes, you can do it but its a lot of work and is not user friendly. DCS should do it by itself since its how SAMs operate in real life.

Everyone is like crazy about the TGP, I don't see why? It's not a fundamental part of the aircraft. Its just a tool, if you have another laser supporting unit then you don't need to carry extra weight. But this is fine for me since I play online and now everyone will carry a tgp instead.

Nice. Will be Combined Arms compatible? I mean controlable in first person.

I hope you're not using the zoom then.

Because it was badly implemented.

Its more difficult to spot objects at closer ranges than farther away. Sometimes the aircrafts "dissapear" when you get closer

You quote out of context. Using the zoom is gameish, theres no need to have so narrow FOV, but its there because in the game you can't see nothing without it and it would be impossible to dogfight or spot any aircraft at close distance. The excessive zoom levels wouldn't be necessary if we had some scaling.

I didnt know the DCS zoom was a perception simulator :megalol:

We need to accept that the spotting in DCS will always be deficient and we will play with the zoom for ever, and someone said scaling was gameish LOL. If zooming is not gameish I don't know what it is.

Sometimes I use the boresight mode with the Aim 7 instead of STT, unless there are friendlies close to the target. Also, an STT AIM 7 is safer than an AIM 9 in close range if there are friendlies nearby.

This is for the block 1 or 2? From what I read the block 1 doesn't have datalink? :(
