Jimbolya Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 I've noticed that most aircraft don't have this, and it doesn't look like anything in the future will have this as well. I'm wishing that sometime in the future this becomes something that gets implemented. I think it would open up a whole new branch for additional modules.
Jimbolya Posted March 13, 2014 Author Posted March 13, 2014 why is everyone so afraid of forward looking ground radar lol?
GGTharos Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 No one is afraid of it. It's simply not in the game, that's all. Also, 'forward looking ground radar' doesn't really mean much - what are you talking about? A TFR? A ground-mapping radar? Something else? ;) At least one aircraft in the current lineup should have ground mapping radar modes, and that is the F-15C. It should also have some A2G capabilities. None of that is a big deal though; we've done without A2G radar for a while and everything is still ok. I would expect any DCS aircraft - like the F-18, to have such radar modes. Same goes for the tiffy, and I'm sure I'm forgetting some others that are in the future lineup.

ED Team NineLine Posted March 13, 2014 ED Team Posted March 13, 2014 Well that link shows what aircraft its used on, does that explain why we dont have it yet? :) Forum Rules • My YouTube • My Discord - NineLine#0440• **How to Report a Bug**
Jimbolya Posted March 13, 2014 Author Posted March 13, 2014 most stuff goes over very basic points. yea - the F15 should have the first variant of the radar, but i've never seen any videos on it being employed in a AtG mode... just AtA...
GGTharos Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 The F-15C simply isn't used in the A2G role. It has the capability to drop dumb bombs, clusters, and lately JDAMs. The terrain mapping radar was used for correcting the INS in-flight back when GPS wasn't a thing.
