Captain Slow Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 What is the behavior in the real F18 in bvr modes when azimuth limits are set to less than 140? Can you slew your radar scan limits left/right manually like the russian jets? Do the radar scan limits follow the tdc like in the f15/f16? Or is the current behavior where it only scans around your own heading the only real option... I am hoping not,... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anonymous User Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 You can decenter the scan, but it does not follow the TDC like in the F15/16. You depress the TDC to set the center of the scan. Holding the TDC for >0.5sec enters ‘spotlight’ mode centered on where you have your cursor at the time of depression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KittyVCAW-1 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 No it works, it's how you lock up one specific target when radar has multiple contacts on it. I think it only works if you are in RWS Nobody likes me because I'm unsafe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it only works if you are in RWS Sounds like you are referring to something different than the OP is. He is referring to being able to select an off-center scan pattern during search. You are referring to the scan pattern when attempting to designate from the looks of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, given the answer by Anonymous User I think we are still waiting for it to be implemented. Re-engaging after being on the defensive right now is quite dangerous and slow. Need to be able to reposition scan center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re-engaging after being on the defensive right now is quite dangerous and slow. Need to be able to reposition scan center. You can still drop the azimuth width and point the nose, just can’t stay on the gimbles like that. If you are super good, you can still command mini-raster with the designate button, but I think that’s like a 3-5* sweep. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would avoid it if possible, so very much looking forward to being able to point the radar instead of my nose :). mini-raster? you mean when you tell it to try to lock the first best target which comes into the highlight volume? I need something with more control in a multi target environment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Svend_Dellepude Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 The only good option is to be WVR and use HMS. Well, maybe that's just as bad as the other options. :D [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Win10 64, Asus Maximus VIII Formula, i5 6600K, Geforce 980 GTX Ti, 32 GB Ram, Samsung EVO SSD.
