atsmith6 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I just saw something on Youtube that surprised me. A Mig-21 picks up an enemy aircraft on the radar, and then he seemed to be able to lock it without it being anywhere near the radar cursor. I think the target was about 25km out and off to the left. However when I try I can only lock targets that are inside the cursor and even then it often takes two or three presses on the lock button. Am I doing something wrong? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santi871 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 However when I try I can only lock targets that are inside the cursor and even then it often takes two or three presses on the lock button. This is the correct behavior. Do you have a link to the youtube video? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hadwell Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 It could be he knows the scan rate of the radar, turns his plane, and locks the target before it has time to register on the display, I do that a lot.

nickexists Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Make sure to hold down the lock button for a while. It doesn't always lock immediately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh, that explains it. It was your F-15 hunting video in which I saw it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
