SU-27 HDD Radar Contact???

[Taki1980]

Hello,

 

im burning for this Sim. Have played around 15 Hours now (not new To flight Sim) and read and watched Tutorial alot.

 

But here is my First Question where i cant find nothing in the Forums nor in the Handbook.

 

What are those Contacts i marked in the Circle?

Higher altitude, low airspeed contact, from the looks of it.

 

Edit: It's nose is pointing to 4 'o clock.

Found out in TacView that its Drones. Am i right?

That symbol represents a target acquired by your own radar plus another radar, with med to high altitude, and slow speed.

 

EDIT: image updated with info from Ironhand.

Ahh now it makes sense. They where Slow Moving High Altitude.

 

What are those Numbers sometimes Left and Right from that Mark. I had a "1" there last time i looked close on my HDD

IIRC, that symbol represents a target acquired by other than your own radar (AWACS, GCI or data link), with med to high altitude, and slow speed.

 

 

That's cool - I'd like that implemented.

Ummm...it is implemented. Except that the first symbol with the enclosed triangle on the tail indicates that the target is both illuminated by your radar and datalinked from someone else. The 3rd and 4th symbols are simply scanned by your own radar and not datalinked from another radar. The 2nd symbol is simply datalinked. You're not scanning it with your own radar.

Datalink Numbering

 

EDIT: Here's a quick "show and tell" video I made this morning for the YT Flankertraining channel:
