Zeus67 Posted August 2, 2016 Author Posted August 2, 2016 Thanks for the heads up Zeus, I really appreciate it :thumbup: Does the real aircraft has something like that? Yes, it does. But its use is not described, so I wasn't going to enable it. Instead, I am using it for this purpose.

Zeus67 Posted August 2, 2016 Author Posted August 2, 2016 I was so surprised by this implementation that I dared to ask a question on the russian side of the forums. Thankfully Chizh was kind enough to reply here. Flanker 1.. OMG.. :) Last time I asked the lead developer about DCS, he told me that there is a LOT of Flanker 1 code in there. In fact he had got rid of some of them thanks to us, because it was interfering with the M-2000C. He also told me that at the time (last November) the M-2000C's RDI radar was the most complex radar development in-game. They had to make several changes to the base code at our request. Unfortunately these days they are trying to get 2.5 out and response time is quite long, unless there is an emergency.

Zeus67 Posted August 2, 2016 Author Posted August 2, 2016 Interesting , i`d love to see the same comparison with M2000C Just remember that RDI radar max theoretical range is 120 Kms (64 nm). Also, if I remember correctly there is a problem with aircraft's RCS, the radar was detecting fighters at longer ranges than bombers. We found it and reported it. We do not know if they ever fixed it.

QuiGon Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 Yes, it does. But its use is not described, so I wasn't going to enable it. Instead, I am using it for this purpose. Alright :thumbup: 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!

No wonder the A-A experience in DCS is so inconsistent. Thanks Zeus for your openness, you are doing a great job on the Mirage, you have my full respect as a flight-sim developer :thumbup: Windows 10 - Intel i7 7700K 4.2 Ghz (no OC) - Asus Strix GTX 1080 8Gb - 16GB DDR4 (3000 MHz) - SSD 500GB + WD Black FZEX 1TB 6Gb/s
Azrayen Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 Interesting , i`d love to see the same comparison with M2000C Well, given that Zeus is working on the radar now, there was no point in publishing numbers for the M-2000 yet. Anyway, the test is simple, you can make you own if you wanna. My method: flying the fighter myselft, having the target as AI with options set in mission editor so that it flies straight ahead and does not react to my radar + using DCS pause as soon as I get something (radar contact / STT capability) and LotAtc 4 DCS to get range measures accurate and replicable.
