Blackop Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Looking for all F-15 veterans out there. On the first mission in the F-15C red flag canpaign where you fly cap for incoming US flights, i was practicing with my radar to kill time. Problem was, those russian flights never showed up on my radar, even tho i had it set to the correct altitude and range. They were around 50 miles away from me flying at angels 25, but with my radar set to 80 miles, prf at med-hi and my elevation at 0-41000 I did not see them. Dis I do something wrong or forget something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riproren Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 They flew under your radar cone. They usually appear east of the FEBA line flying very low. I only spotted them due to using labels for the mission.

feefifofum Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 At that range, you'll also want to be in HPRF to give you the best chance of detecting a head-on target. Interleaved is best reserved for situations where you are unsure of your target's aspect. THE GEORGIAN WAR - OFFICIAL F-15C DLC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackop Posted April 29, 2016 Author Share Posted April 29, 2016 Ah of course, for some reason I thought of radar as a radar wall coming from the nose, but that makes no sense. When seeing it as a cone I understand what I did wrong, thanks! And yeah I was able to see them in HI setting. Lets see if I got this right: -hi prf: long range targets and head on targets. -hi-med: unknown targets or general scanning. -med: shorter range and hard maneuvering targets. Does that seem right?

FLANKERATOR Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 You should take the angle off as a reference, anything from 0 to 90 degree is best detected with MED (targets flying away from you) then from 90 to 180 degree is best detected with HI (targets flying towards you). ILV is a hybrid mode capable of detecting at any angle at the expense of a reduced range and detection time. Keep also in mind that the radar will always have more difficulties detecting targets flying away from it than those flying towards it, hence the reduced detection range. EOS would be a better option in that case. Situational Awareness: https://sa-sim.com/ | The Air Combat Dojo: https://discord.gg/Rz77eFj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
