Radar antenna vertical deflection. INOP for beta.

 

Slightly updated picture:attachment.php?attachmentid=130651&stc=1&d=1450522573

 

Also, anyone know what the ENT in the top right is?

ENT indicates radar pulse frequency. There are three types:

High PRF, Low PRF and Interleaved PRF (a mix of high and low).

ENT = Interleaved.

 

Radar pulse frequency management is not available in the beta version.

Thanks!

And for what it's worth:

ENT is short for Entrelacé (= French for Interleaved)

 

We should also get (after beta I guess):

HFR for Haute FRéquence (High Frequency)

BFR for Basse FRéquence (Low Frequency)

Where is the target range indicator on there?

For a locked target? In the HUD.

You don't happen to have a screenshot of that too do you?

 

No, but I'll make one later.

 

Anyway, it is not hard to determine target range in the radar screen. You have the radar range displayed there and since the top is the selected max range and the bottom is your aircraft, you can deduce range by symbol vertical position.

 

Also, those lines in the PPI screen are range markers. They indicate 75%, 50%, 25% range. In your image, for a 20 nmiles range that would mean; 15, 10 and 5 nmiles. The H symbols around the 15 nmiles marker so it should be at 14 nmiles out.

Does RDI handle MFR like RDY does ?

 

Good question :music_whistling:

 

But I always read that RDI is mainly HFR radar. RDY entered service 10 years later !

 

And what about missile's seeker (SARH) ?

You shouldn't be able to shoot a 530 in anything else than HFR (IIRC).

 

You cannot lock targets except in ENT or HFR. But as I said, Radar PRF profiles are not enabled in beta.

It's a beta, not all features are available.

 

I know...But I just thought that it wouldn't be a very hard thing to put in compared to some other stuff going on with the radar.

 

But I've no clue. :noexpression:

So...there's nothing telling the distance of the target is there?

I'm not sure if the H symbol has a range data line.

Maybe it's not even provided (?), the radar range is displayed on top of the display so it should be easy to get a good range estimate I think.

That's true. Didn't think of that.

 

I suppose that's not a big problem then :)
