decipher Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 hey guys, got the mirage in the sale and just starting to getting some time and digging in to all the radar stuff. usually i only fly WW2 and helicopters, with the occasional mig21 fun... anyway... i watched a couple of tutorial videos and read through chuck's guide and the manual, but i guess some details of the radar already changed (at least since most tutorials i watched).. specifically about radar vertical movement, is this fully implemented yet, or just placeholder? i have it mapped to the slider axis of my throttle, so i can move it and see the feedback on the radar screen, but i cannot find any info about what the numbers mean i am guessing those are the vertical up and down boundaries of the radar cone at the point of the cursor? in some tutorial videos these were not visible (instead there was just a number for the current angle of the cursor position). so these 2 numbers change according to the 1-2-4 lines mode and the vertical position of radar. i also saw in some older tutorial videos that people were able to STT in ENT mode, but the manual states that would not be possible and you need to be in HFR. also the Z / S switch seems to work now, but was not described further in manual. long story short, is there any up to date radar guide with all the details i might have missed, or some very detailed changelog with those changes? i am curious to learn!
QuiGon Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 (edited) There has been a lot of changes indeed. I think the official manual is more or less up to date. Have you checked that? i am guessing those are the vertical up and down boundaries of the radar cone at the point of the cursor? in some tutorial videos these were not visible (instead there was just a number for the current angle of the cursor position). That's correct. It's been implemented some weeks ago (or maybe months already). The two numbers show the vertical up and down limits of the radar scan zone in thousands of feet. It only depends on the radar elevation that you mapped to your slider. The current elevation is also shown by the bar on the left side of the radar screen which moves up and down if you move the slider. i also saw in some older tutorial videos that people were able to STT in ENT mode, but the manual states that would not be possible and you need to be in HFR. also the Z / S switch seems to work now, but was not described further in manual. I think that is not possible atm, however it should be possible (again) with the next update because the radar will automatically switch to HFR temporarily if you lock on a target in STT. Edited June 21, 2016 by QuiGon 1 Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!
