Ground Mapping radar

[Beamscanner]

This seems to be the major hurdle for some of the upcoming aircraft. Any information on it's development would be greatly appreciated.

Yes any info would be great along with some early tutorial insight on its operation.

I have been asking same question for a very long time. Im sure its the reason why your not seeing certain aircraft in the DCS series. Either they dont have anything to show or are just keeping it top secret, who knows.

From the april 2015 newsletter:

DCS: F/A-18C Hornet

Work is mostly focused on the air-to-ground radar that is making good progress; the team is now starting to create the various sub-modes such as the expanded modes. We have included a couple of images that show samples of the new air-to-ground radar technology that is based on radar reflectivity logic.

Wow. It has been a year since that screenshot.

 

But I remember being excited about it for a number of reasons. If you know real ground radar pictures you will see some realistic features in there.

Yup 1 year ago, Nice try though!

im really suprised this topic has gone nowere. I thought for sure more people would be interested.

[DUSTY]

I'm really interested but the lack of information is not very conducive to discussion.

 

When we do hear from ED as to the fidelity of the ground radar then i'm sure discussion will be rife!

Yes I know this info is also a year + old but in this Froogle VLOG video Wags talks a bit about developing the ground mapping radar and laying the ground work for future 3rd party developments. Figured it was still relevant for this thread

Not going to speculate on why there is so little info since. Leatherneck has an aircraft right around the corner that has a ground radar and we havnt even seen one picture of that. I'm personally taking the fact that ED feels confident enough to give a tentative timeframe as good sign they have made headway in this department.

Say what now?

The Leatherneck guys have developed their own ground mapping radar instead of waiting for ED's.

Understood, I was just pointing out that even though we havnt seen any pics or have much info doesn't mean we aren't close. I'm just as anxious as anyone.

[Apples]

Hopefully they are hard at work and have made progress within the last year. Im kind of guessing we will eventually need ground mapping radar if we ever want to see a F-16, F-18, Apache Etc.

Any news on this?

 

Resurrected this 1 year old topic. :O

When the time is right for ED they will share information, for the moment public released information is focused on current module, terrain and asset releases.
