OldE24 Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Ok looking for a solid answer i'm lead to believe it does not but will you be able to IFF with the radar? 8700k@4.7 32GB ram, 1080TI hybrid SC2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramsay Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 (edited) The F-5E radar lacks an IFF interrogator, so cannot IFF. The F-5E can RESPOND to IFF requests i.e. a F-15C radar interrogation will show the F-5E as friend or foe. As the F-5E does not have BVR capability, the radar is to help find and range potential targets, not ID them.

OldE24 Posted June 13, 2016 Author Share Posted June 13, 2016 (edited) So you have seen Belsimtek's manual and we are all for sure this is positive? i have read the other stuff about the aircraft there are so many different variants and things and as a MP player i would not buy this module if is the case.

Ramsay Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 So you have seen Belsimtek's manual and we are all for sure this is positive?The F-5 Freedom Fighter is one of my favourite aircraft, so I have taken particular interest in Belsimtek's F-5E-3. Comparing the cockpit to the real manuals, etc. we will be getting the variant with the better radar and a RWR, so optimised for dogfighting. i have read the other stuff about the aircraft there are so many different variants and thingsSeveral nations have upgraded their F-5E's, however the original radar is replaced, often (always?) with the removal of one of the canons to make space for a larger/newer radar system. The cockpit avionics and radar displays are also substantially different in these versions. The F-5E-3 shown in WIP screen shots, videos, etc. retains both canons and it's 'original' instruments and radar display. and as a MP player i would not buy this module if is the case.The F-5E-3 is not overly complicated to learn or fly and the version we are getting is optimised for dogfighting, many players will enjoy flying it in MP, even if you do not. i9 9900K @4.9GHz, 64GB DDR4, RTX4070 12GB, 1+2TB NVMe, 6+4TB HD, 4+1TB SSD, Winwing Orion 2 F-15EX Throttle + F-16EX Stick, TPR Pedals, TIR5, Win 10 Pro x64, 1920X1080 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterH Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 I am looking forward to F-5 with it's realistic feaetures and realistic omissions, and looking forward to flying both with and against it on multiplayer MiG-21 vs F-5 servers. Personally I don't like 104 type servers at all anyway, so no loss for me there ;). Wishlist: F-4E Block 53 +, MiG-27K, Su-17M3 or M4, AH-1F or W circa 80s or early 90s, J35 Draken, Kfir C7, Mirage III/V DCS-Dismounts Script Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAD-MM Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 I am far more intressted simple aircraft like F-5 where you have to rely on your dogfights skills. It's a real pilots plane, for me much more intressting then all later US/RU jets with BVR. 1 Once you have tasted Flight, you will forever walk the Earth with your Eyes turned Skyward.

The radar has a 10nm range by which you should be able to visually ID. But I hear you. IF the server allows all aircrafts on both sides and doesn't use different skins for the coalitions then this will be a problem in mp. For these cases,... we got "easy radio", auto start procedure and even a game mode, I wouldn't mind an optional IFF ability for match purposes despite it not being realistic. 4790K@4,6Ghz | EVGA Z97 Classified | 32GB @ 2400Mhz | Titan X hydro copper| SSD 850 PRO ____________________________________ Moments in DCS: --> https://www.youtube.com/user/weltensegLA --> WELD's cockpit: --> http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=92274 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramsay Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 (edited) The radar has a 10nm range by which you should be able to visually ID. AFAIK the APQ-159 radar has a 32 mile range. Without going into to much detail, the typical missile attack radar phases are 32 mile - Search 10 mile - Acquisition 6 mile - lock-on/tracking 2 mile - launch the search phase might start closer at 20 miles or less if tactically advantageous i.e. in a dogfight For a guns attack, the radar phases are 10 mile - Search 3 mile - Acquisition 2700 ft - lock-on/tracking (450 ft minimum) the canons have 1000 ft min. engagement range. Edited June 14, 2016 by Ramsay Was reading the APQ-157 specs, the APQ-159 has longer range i9 9900K @4.9GHz, 64GB DDR4, RTX4070 12GB, 1+2TB NVMe, 6+4TB HD, 4+1TB SSD, Winwing Orion 2 F-15EX Throttle + F-16EX Stick, TPR Pedals, TIR5, Win 10 Pro x64, 1920X1080 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without going into to much detail, the typical missile attack phases are 20 mile - Search 10 mile - Acquisition 6 mile - lock-on/tracking 2 mile - launch I think you mean the APQ-159 If i remember correctly the 157 is the 2 seat / 2 display variant of the 153 so it has 153 performance. (as it uses a 153 radar but with dual controls/displays) the APQ 159 is the variant we are getting (APQ-159-3 as its for the single seat variant and lacks AGM-65 support) But the range etc you stated match the 159 and is correct for this module.
