Radar elevation stabilization


BlaizzMC

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

Since the last update I noticed that the radar is now stabilized in elevation.

Meaning that if you are scanning on the horizon and pull up, the radar will stay on the horizon. That's a great feature but it can also be useful to disable it. Is it possible ? (I'd like the radar to follow my nose elevation)

Anyway good job Razbam ! Keep up :thumbup:

 

Cheers.

You mean that if you scan horizon at 3000 ft with 1 bar, and then pull up raising to 15'000 ft that radar keeps scanning horizon at 3000 ft, so negative attitude related to your current altitude?

Not quite.

What I mean is that if your radar is 30° above horizon, you pull up then it will still be 30° above horizon (left on pic)

I'd like to know if there's a way to have the radar behave as on the right.

That would be the Radar Special modes for Boresight, Vertical or Horizontal dogfight scans that are relative the the nose of the aircraft.

I believe the answer is no, and very few modern planes allow this because at BVR ranges, this would make tracking of targets extremely difficult during maneuvers. Every small change in attitude would be a massive change to the radar cone at 50+ miles out. In fact I'm struggling to think of how this would ever be useful at those ranges. It's useful WVR, and that's why it is included in the special modes functions for ACM.
