Stuge Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 (edited) Not sure if this has been reported, but it's been around for a while so I would like it to be fixed :) So, when in one of the close combat modes (vertical scan, boresight, helmet sight), it is not shown whether the radar is selected on or off(there is no ILL indication on the bottom of HUD, as there is in Su-27), so one has to guess. Now otherwise this wouldn't even be a problem, but having radar selected on or off seems to have a MAJOR impact on how the vertical scan behaves. Meaning that if it is on (ILL), then vertical scan picks up targets much less effectively. This seems to extend to the Su-27, and is possibly another bug? All this brings to mind a third feature of the Russian fighters, the infamous IFFing without spiking the target. Still no definitive answer, is this a bug or a feature? This one's been around for years. Edited October 20, 2015 by Stuge http://www.104thphoenix.com

And the part where turning off your radar and leaving the EOS on, keeps spiking the target as if you have it on, don't know if that's been fixed A 1000 flights, a 1000 crashes, perfect record. =&arrFilter_pf[gameversion]=&arrFilter_pf[filelang]=&arrFilter_pf[aircraft]=&arrFilter_DATE_CREATE_1_DAYS_TO_BACK=&sort_by_order=TIMESTAMP_X_DESC"] Check out my random mods and things
red_coreSix Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 Well, the "not displaying radar status problem" is a side-effect of the older system modeling. That's probably going to be fixed when the new MiG-29 gets new systems (like functioning cockpit indicators). About the VS mode, I have noticed that too. Since you can also turn EO off and only search with radar I'd guess the computer trys to get the target in both the EO and the radar (which would take longer and be sometimes impossible i.e when target is in the notch) before initiating STT. But that's a wild guess to be honest. The IFF I think is a feature. Have you noticed that you're not getting the LA indication when selecting R-27ER in IFF mode? I think that's because the radar is actually only IFFing and not even in any kind of track mode. But again that's just what I'd guess :)
