Radar display?

[SageOT]

Quick couple of questions. I was looking in the manual but did not see this maybe I missed it. The two numbers with a backslash between them in the lower left of the display is that the bullseye location of the TDC? It seems like it should be but the numbers did not appear to match where I thought I was in relation to the bullseye.

 

Second question I see the asmuth bar move up and down when I use my slider. Is there somewhere on the screen that tells me the altitudes that the radar is now scanning similar to the F-15 or do I just have to guesstimate with rough math based on the size of the cone and current altitude?

 

Last thing, the four momentary toggles on each side of the display are they all functional now?

 

Thanks for any responses guys sorry if this is something else a lot I was just thinking about it and I'm driving on a road trip so can't really search right now.

 

Razbam, I was a pre purchaser and one of the haters oh my God this thing sucks nothing works blah blah blah. Wow you guys have come a long way I'm having a lot of fun in the plane great work.

 

Thanks again,

Need to find answer for that myself too. Started to fly the thing and so far haven't touched the actual manual than just check the quick ones.

 

As far I know, the radar only scans 3 degree in one speed horizontally. And then you control the volume of the space you scan by choosing 1, 2 or 4 lines where the radar scans as many times before creating the picture. So it would be 3, 6 or 12 degree with those.

 

The altitude control on left is little bit mystery for me as well, because don't know about the scale. Like are the bars and numbers 2 and 4 as degree or something else.

Just going to start reading the manual now.

 

I have now clue as well about what the S and Z mode means with the TDC, at least it adds some values that changes with movement etc. But.... This is the fun part of DCS modules, studying and research and especially finding answers ;)

Hi

 

1/ yes ; probable bug now in 1.5 (saw weird numbers last night, didn't check, believe progress on the way or alreay out in 2.0, refer to changelogs and topics for more accurate data).

 

2/ yes ; right of the TDC ; also refer to S/Z switch.

 

3/ only the "N" one ; refer to your first question ; other not really useful ; was discussed on the forum if you want details.

 

Regards,

Thanks for the quick answers Azrayen!

Just read the radar/weapons part of the manual, and must say it was really a "Early Access" :-P

Yeah, I saw a post from Zeus mentioning they needed to get around to updating it. That's why I decided to ask on here. Even Chucks guide and most YouTube tutorials are out of date at this point since Razbam has been so busy/quick on the updates.
