Zeus67 Posted February 24, 2016 Author Posted February 24, 2016 Spent the day working on the radar. The less I say about it, the better. Warm-up period has been enabled. Radar will now be available only when there is no weight on wheels. Not even in SIL (Standby Mode). As for the rest, as I said it was a difficult day.

PiedDroit Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 Warm-up period has been enabled. Great, thanks for your efforts! :thumbup: Is there a keyboard shortcut to go in SIL? Right now we can only do ON/OFF ;)
Jarama Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 Yes there is, look for RADAR STANDBY in the key bindings.
PiedDroit Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 Yes there is, look for RADAR STANDBY in the key bindings. I must have missed it, will look again thoroughly, thanks.
Andrei Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 A bit off-topic, but is there a feature list of Mirage in the release version somewhere? I just convinced myself to buy it :) While it's looking as a solid WiP, there's still quite a lot to do.

nomdeplume Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 Radar will now be available only when there is no weight on wheels. Not even in SIL (Standby Mode). Does the "Radar WOW Emitter Authorize Switch" override this? If not, do you know what its actual function is?
Azrayen Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 It does. IRL that is. I'm not sure it's very useful for Razbam to implement this: it's intended for maintenance, we don't do that in DCS.
Ashilta Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 It's intended for maintenance, we don't do that in DCS. Is this why my Mirage started smoking yesterday..?
104th_Cobra Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 Take your time with RADAR and INS. No hurries with a good implementation. We want all the bells and switches :D Spent the day working on the radar. The less I say about it, the better. Warm-up period has been enabled.

Harry.R Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 Thanks for your work, the Mirage is my go to aircraft, even if I suck at A2A :)

spiddx Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 Question: will you release these radar updates gradually or all in one bundle. For example will radar warmup be enabled in the next updade?

Zeus67 Posted February 25, 2016 Author Posted February 25, 2016 Question: will you release these radar updates gradually or all in one bundle. For example will radar warmup be enabled in the next updade? Thx They will appear gradually based on ED's update schedule.

Zeus67 Posted February 26, 2016 Author Posted February 26, 2016 Here's today update: IFF interrogation. Before: After: For the time being, the IFF symbols will remain on screen for 30 seconds. I'll probably make the period lower (about 15 seconds). You will need to use the "Nosewheel Steering/IFF Interrogate" switch (It has a keyboard bind, default key is "S"). Prior to that you must activate the IFF interrogation panel. (There are keyboard bindings as well for this panel). Check the manual for more information.

Fer_Fer Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 Looks very nice, Any idea when the update hits?
Zeus67 Posted February 26, 2016 Author Posted February 26, 2016 Looks very nice, Any idea when the update hits? No. That's on ED.

ben92 Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 Great thank for fast job! But i have 2 question about IFF. -This is a real symbology? -This is a country interogation or frequences interogation? Thank
Zeus67 Posted February 26, 2016 Author Posted February 26, 2016 Great thank for fast job! But i have 2 question about IFF. -This is a real symbology? -This is a country interogation or frequences interogation? Thank - Yes. As far as I know, these are the real symbols. - I think this is a faction interrogation as opposed to an IFF frequency interrogation (like the real ones). I am thinking of ways to enable one, but that will require ED's support. 1 "Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots.

ben92 Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 Thank's for your answers, especially one that responds to my next! :D :thumbup:

Enduro14 Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 (edited) You are the man Zeus, we worship you on top of Mt Olympus ! Quick question aka Iff the symbology will be listed in manual and or until that is updated could we get a list of what symbology goes with what faction?

Plushanubka Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 Awesome news indeed. May I ask about thing not related to this topic? Will magic's new model will be included in the closest DCS update? I would buy Nevada only to get it a week before 1.5 update :thumbup:
T_A Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 Any chance those IFF settings were already sent to ED for testing?
