PiedDroit Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 I will try to pay attention to that little square, on my next fly xD I was talking about the radar caret on the VTB, not interception flight director VTH. Here's a picture showing how I guess radar azimuth will be shown on the VTB - again, it's a guess ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiddx Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 And elevation afaik is gonna be shown on the scale on the left side of the display.

GGTharos Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 I know the angle might be trucking me a bit - are those scan zones parallel to the ground?

Zeus67 Posted March 1, 2016 Author Share Posted March 1, 2016 Radar elevation marker in the screen, the number next to the marker indicates the current search bar. With this I consider the antenna elevation control finalized. Tomorrow I'll work on the azimuth control.

Coder Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 I'm sorry to ask this "obvious" question, but can de radar only search at "one elevation"? (I only see one marker in the picture) or does it work like in the F15 where I can set the radar to search betweeen 0 and 23'000 feet?

(I only see one marker in the picture) or does it work like in the F15 where I can set the radar to search betweeen 0 and 23'000 feet? It's like other radars, you have configurable number of 'bars' of search: 1, 2, or 4. The radar cone is approximately 3 degrees, so a 1 bar search will cover 3 degrees, 2 bars covers about 6 degrees, and 4 bars covers about 12 degrees. What you're controlling with the antenna elevation control (and what is indicated by the marker in the display) is the amount the antenna is angled up or down in the middle of its scan zone. The min/max altitude this area encompasses depends on your own altitude, and the distance from your aircraft: 3 degrees covers a much wider area 40 miles away than it does 4 miles away. The images in this post might help visualise this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azrayen Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 (edited) The radar cone is approximately 3 degrees, so a 1 bar search will cover 3 degrees, Correct. 2 bars covers about 6 degrees, and 4 bars covers about 12 degrees. This is indeed about how it is now in DCS, but in RL you'd have some overlapse between bars. I'm sorry to ask this "obvious" question, but can de radar only search at "one elevation"? (I only see one marker in the picture) or does it work like in the F15 where I can set the radar to search betweeen 0 and 23'000 feet? You set "one value" for antenna orientation in elevation (vertical axis), but then you have (or should/will have, it's not implemented now), next to the TDC, the distance (between you and the TDC) in NM, plus the min/max thousands of feet the antenna scans at this distance (in "S" mode) or the thousand of feet at the center of the radar beam at this distance (in "Z" mode). S or Z => switch on the radar console. S is default mode, useful when you search on your own. Z is a nice mode for when a GCI/AWACS controllers guides you to a target and gives you its distance from you and its altitude. ++ Az' Edited April 17, 2016 by Azrayen typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiddx Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 So I'm assuming if a TWS locked contact leaves my designated scan zone (elevation, azimuth) I will lose lock while in STT the radar antenna will follow the lock to the gimbal limits. Correct?

Correct? If you have a contact locked in TWS, the antenna will follow the target elevation. Azimuth is a little more tricky, so I'll see what can be done.
