Is there a guide on radar symbology

I can't find any info regarding radar symbology in the manual.

Can anyone point me to some info?

 

Thanks

 

I'm sorry. The radar section of the manual is incomplete and needs a rewrite as well.

 

The V simbol indicates a contact. It also indicates that the radar is in RWS mode.

 

The |V| symbol indicates a locked contact. Other contacts will appear as -V-. This also means that the radar is in TWS mode. You cannot guide weapons in this mode.

 

The H indicates a locked contact. All other contacts are disregarded. The radar is in STT mode and you can guide weapons with it.

 

The locked contact will display range, closing velocity, heading, velocity and the angle formed by the target's heading and your current heading, also known as B-angle. With the B-angle you can check when the target is trying to "notch", that is to put itself perpendicular to the radar beam in order to force the radar to drop both the lock and the contact.

 

The long line that covers most of the radar screen indicates bearing to target. When in STT mode it also indicates antenna azimuth.

 

The small line at the center of the locked target indicates both target velocity, it grows the faster the target travels, and B-angle, it rotates to show direction of travel.

 

When you have a locked target you will get additional information at the top of the screen:

 

Target speed in mach.

Tsrget heading.

Target closing velocity.q

Target true altitude (hundreds of feet).q

 

I hope this helps. I am recalling everything at this time so I can be leaving things out.

Thanks Zeus!

Yes I was specifically looking for the smaller numbers and symbols. I'm used to the F-16 in Falcon, where you bug the target it has a small number indicating altitude (which I find extremely useful), and wasn't totally sure how it was in the M2000.

 

Looking forward to reading more in the manual when it will be updated.

Closing speed in mach.

Are the Radar parameter switches functional? E.x the waypoint selector on the radar dash is working and cycling through wpnts but bulls selection isn't either the other switches.

I really feel that they should be functioning. Is there any other way to dispaly bulls in the radar screen or hud?

Sorry to disagree :)

Do you know their purpose IRL?

Uh?

Is see some confusion here. The N switch near the VTB is implemented. This one is useful, it allows to select any of the INS waypoints as reference for the TCD. Obviously you'll select your bulls most often here.

But doing this doesn't display the bulls on the VTB. Nor would any other switch located around.

OTOH the aircraft allows you to display up to 5 waypoints on the VTB, using the PCN. So you may display the one waypoint that you chose as bulls... or other ones at will :)
