[LATER IN EARLY ACCESS] F/A-18 Hornet A/G Radar ?

[Guram]

Any news regarding F-18 A/G radar work progress and ETA?

Thanks

[QuiGon]

Nope. Still WIP. Date unkown.

[tintifaxl]

In 2015 Wags stated it‘s coming along nicely. Can‘t take too long now.

[Silver_Dragon]

Meanwhile dont appears on the Hornet mini update, only can wait. Actually working with the anti-air radars, other systems and weapons.

He somewhere stated last year, that the engineer who was working on the A-G radar left the company, which caused a delay as they had to find someone else to do the job.

Hah is that true? That is really unfortunate. Hope they will find someone who will continue work on A/G radar.

They already found someone - just an FYI...

I’m excited to see the TA mode, but tbh I personally won’t use the Surface modes a whole lot, so I’m fine if it’s a bit on the back burner.

 

I think TGPs are their next big priority after the datalink.

I guess he got bored after more than three years working on the A/R radar. :D

[Guram]

Thanks! hope we will see A/G soon

Wags has said the engineer assigned to the TGP is also assigned to HARMs, so TGP will come right after HARMs. For HARMs, Pre-Briefed mode and the pullback function is left.

don't we have HARMs right now? or am I wrong?

[Jak525]

As I said, Pre-Briefed mode and the pullback function is left to do. We have SP (without pullback) and TOO modes rn.

My guess of what come in the near future

 

1). The Harm will be finished in the upcomming update

2). jdam

 

3). we will see a basic TGP pod ( from the a10c )

The TGP pod will be a fantasic tool to have, it make the hornet much better at A/G missions since now we can actual find the enemy on the ground. ;-)

 

4). maybe most of the SA / data link system will be implemented for data sharing of targets and sharing MARK points from the TGP.

( lets face it, its really helpfull to share a point on teh ground with your wingman... hey look here ;-)

 

5). maybe we soon ( within 2 month ) will see the first A/G radar mode.. however since the ground radar is rather complex and have many submodes and so on, then i would imagine we see an A/G radar that maybe "only" can show moving targets and not all the other radar modes to start with.

And a A/G radar mode where we can slave the TGP to look at a radar target.

This is pretty much what I'm thinking. Don't forget more radar functions like the few remaining buttons in RWS, then TWS and VS. I believe coming next is the multi sensor integration (MSI) feature.

I thought it's a very simplified representation and just converts the mesh data from the sim to a ground radar picture?

[QuiGon]

No, it's much more complicated than that:

DCS: F/A-18C Hornet

Work is mostly focused on the air-to-ground radar that is making good progress; the team is now starting to create the various sub-modes such as the expanded modes. We have included a couple of images that show samples of the new air-to-ground radar technology that is based on radar reflectivity logic.

Hi, any updates about A/G radar? or any updates when to expect info about A/G radar?

Thanks
