bkthunder Posted July 29, 2018 Posted July 29, 2018 Hi guys, any idea what axis controls the radar elevation? Using a button is really hard and the elevation is way too sensitive, it's hard to find the sweet spot... 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
razorseal Posted July 30, 2018 Posted July 30, 2018 I agree. Real plane has it... it's very hard and there is no reference point. The gain marker has it, and is a tremendous help. This has been brought up before as well on other threads... please please please!

Kozality Posted July 30, 2018 Posted July 30, 2018 I've been waiting for this subject to come up as I've been awfully confused about it before. Thanks for clarifying Skyracer that it's the weapon mode that displays the elevation indicator. I didn't recall before what mode actually provided it. The problem I've had is that elevation can still be controlled outside of those modes, with no indication that its going up or down or how far. But I can still tell as in full tilt, the radar sweep becomes very narrow. Is there a keybinding or otherwise for "centering" the radar, or otherwise returning it to default?

Skyracer Posted August 1, 2018 Posted August 1, 2018 Just turn the knob to akan or irrb and you will see your radar settings MY SYSTEM SPECS: Hardware Intel pentium 3 @ 800 MHz, 256 Mb RAM, Geforce 2 64Mb, Dell screen 1024x768 + Microsoft sidewhiner joystick + TrackIR 2 + TrackClitPro SOFTWARE: Microsoft Windows 98, Noice Attack & VIASAT PRO, SnackView
razorseal Posted August 2, 2018 Posted August 2, 2018 Just turn the knob to akan or irrb and you will see your radar settings Thing is, do you think that's how the actual pilots did it? there is a rotary knob on the middle with a center detent (same as gain) you use this to bring it up and down. you don't keep switching to A/A mode to see where your elevation is lol. Even though I agree where you're coming from, that's like saying the gear lights are modeled, so just hit f2 and see if your landing gears are down. not really a solution. Model it the way it's meant to be! lol
Kozality Posted August 2, 2018 Posted August 2, 2018 This seems like one of those ergonomic things then that doesn't translate too well from cockpit to PC. On my hold x45 joystick, I' had center detents for my dials, which would make this a lot easier if there's indeed an axis to bind. I have one wheel on my TM Warthog, and I'll see if maybe I can bind that when I get home. But for those without a wheel, a "reset to center" button may be useful here.

hideki2 Posted September 19, 2018 Posted September 19, 2018 +1 and a brightness axis as well, please Yeah, also that.
