Matic_Prime Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Hi guys, my mustache still has to grow. So here is the question: Where do i see the distance to the target in TWS? Especially when firing the phoenix I can see the altitude and closure BUT not the distance?:cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razo+r Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 You can see the distance on the TID for example. Each line that goes away from you indicates 20 miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moafuleum Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 It is displayed in the data readout line on the TID. The line changes however every 2 seconds or so to also schow other quantities. I think RA stands for the range in nm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matic_Prime Posted July 27, 2019 Author Share Posted July 27, 2019 Thanks guys. And I discovered two more questions: How to change between Flare and Chaff? And do the lights work? Turmed on positioning lights but nothing happens. KR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razo+r Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Make sure the light master switch is on. Otherwise external lights won't light up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moafuleum Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 How to change between Flare and Chaff? I'm not sure about this but i think you can't. The RIO is in charge for Chaff. Tell Jester the program and he is going to use it on his own when necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tilly-B Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 You can have control over chaff as a pilot You need to have Jester (or your RIO) switch from 'Pilot' to NORM (or manual?) this can be done with the jester comma rose I also recommend loading up with more chaff than default, because it gets used quicker than flares I use 80C-20F :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but could you provide a screenshot, because I dont see any line that makes sense for the distance:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronMike Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Sorry but could you provide a screenshot, because I dont see any line that makes sense for the distance:( If you have your TID repeater on your HSD, you will see lines forming a V going away from your bottom center. These lines are broken like - - - - instead of a solid line. Each part-line and space in between represents 20nm. Therefore, if you ask Jester to change radar scan distance, you will see the lines get longer or shorter.

Karon Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 (edited) Your RIO can toggle your DLC between Chaff/Flare by means of a switch in the AN/ALE-39. Random pic from one of my articles: https://karonshome.files.wordpress.com/2019/07/rio10-cap-tid-readings-range-eta.jpeg Use the TID repeater, look at the V-shape lines (you see only the top part here), each dashed line is 20nm, even the missing one. You can have a better reading by asking your RIO to hook up a specific target or WP. In the pic's case, I hooked the WP1, the TID readings are range and ETA to WP. I'll look for a better pic, stand by :) EDIT: got it: https://karonshome.files.wordpress.com/2019/07/rio9-ins-fix-tacan-practical-test-1.jpeg here you can see the full cone. Each line of its boudaries (even the missing part) is 20nm. Therefore WP1 is ~20nm. The "72" on the left (antenna limits) sits close to 60nm. It's very easy to understand as soon as you get the idea.
