** UPDATE: Ground Radar 2.0 & Multiplayer Flight Planning **

[Deano87]

For you and others

OMG!

 

One minute pushing the play button and not understanding why the video does not reproduce :doh:

 

Did you throw your computer over the window, Angel? :megalol:

I might have missed this but does anyone know what type of waypoint we can set in the F10 map and put on the data card? Like can we set BX codes?

Yep, you can set the whole lot. I've done a few with B1, M2, Bx6, Bx7, Bx8, Bx9, B3, B4 - all worked perfectly!

 

I'd been avoiding the Viggen as it all looked thoroughly complicated, but with this new planning addition I spent the weekend learning how to blow carriers up with the RB-15 and caused chaos in MP as a result :D

Are we getting this on next OB patch this Wednesday?

Another radar video

does the video bar line really look like a rectangle in the real Viggen?

 

I could be way wrong here, so please correct me if so, but it seems like a Viggen military simulator from the early 1970s might have used a flipping rectangle atop a moving map or something(to simulate a radar screen). And maybe Heatblur is using the military simulator footage to detail their own simulator.

 

Like I said I could be completely wrong. I just think the rectangle at the bottom of the radar beam looks out of place, and I can't think of why it be squared off there.

 

You mean that thing which sweeps left/right when it scans? Also found it strange from the beginning, especially how it "jumps" when it changes direction. I'd rather imagine it to be formed like a really slim slice of cake, most intense at the "front" side (where it is sweeping to) and fading at the "back side", narrowing down close to ownship and being broadest at the very top of the screen.

 

But after reading this and looking for the video (I linked the pic with it in the quote)...

 

Re the rectangle and tail;

 

the Viggen radar seemed to have a rectangular scanline, yes - and it does not actually have a tail at all.

That said, the recently refreshed pixels are slightly brighter and decay.

 

I think we're reasonably close as-is, apart from the green-tone colour which has changed with the new tonemapper and will be adjusted:

 

 

 

 

... this seems to be spot on

 

Gotta love HB for the level of detail, they never fail to impress me

[lemoen]

It has the block and the flipping in skyracers video. Probably correct.

[Johnny Dioxin]

Looks great - well done. I hope one day I can learn to use it properly.

When is the next stable update btw? There's a looong list of Viggen stuff I can't wait to get my hands on :joystick:

Probably next week.

The new ground radar is supposed to be included in todays update:

DCS AJS37 Viggen by Heatblur Simulations

• Fix to pop-up point not switching over.
  
• Fixed sun halo on canopy glass.
  
• Added scratches to canopy glass.
  
• Fixed oval shaped afterburner.
  
• Greatly improved radar where more objects is visible and differentiates better between different terrain types.
  
• Auto generated attack missions should now default to a ingress/egress angle 45 degree off instead of straight when no suitable terrain-masked ingress/egress is found.
  
• Fix to TERRNAV not fixing.
  

If that's true, then "available next month" was much quicker than I thought :thumbup:

[Schmidtfire]

Wow! Lets hope radar 2.0 made it into the update. Anyone that can confirm?

[Eroxz564]

Lets Hope the RAT will be there to. Becouse that litle RAT have taken way mutch longer :P then it was said

[Skyracer]

No update so far.

[amalahama]

OMG !!!! I really hope it sneaks out in the next update!

[Scooternutz]

Fanfargingtastic!

[QuiGon]

The update is available now. Can anyone confirm that the new radar model is included?

[Agremont]

Seems like the new radar is in to me. I'm noticing a significant performance decrease when using it though. :(

[Knock-Knock]

Radar update is in :thumbup:. Just a quick check before dinner, using the instant action Rocket Attack.

Can see the Enguri river, the bridge and the units about to cross it, in the waypoint circle.

Closer to the plane, the faint bright lines are the small rivers, and I believe that dark dot there just on my nose, is a railroad bridge. This was in LIN with adjusted gain.

 

Didnt notice or check for performance change, but Ill fly a lot more tonight.

[amalahama]

UBER COOL!

 

 

I'm a bit worried about the performance impact though, I'm looking forward to checking myself.

[Agremont]

It might just be my computer being crud.

[Cobra847]

The version that shipped today has poor performance in the 120km mode per our benchmarks.

Please report if you also see reduced performance in the lower range modes however.

 

We've fixed the 120km issue and that fix should be available on the next patch.

[funkyfranky]

Very happy to see that you guys realized the potential of the F10 marks for the waypoints :)

 

Any plans to expand this to let's say ELINT data like we discussed here https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=3528407#post3528407

That's good to know, thanks!
