quick radar elevation table value for human RIO

[ustio]

okay since we don't have TWS auto yet, I've decided to make this quick reference. this is something very trivial but can get you in trouble if you don't find the numbers quickly.

 

This is basically a value of how many degrees you have to change the radar elevation if the target is above or below you in X amount of distance

 

Please note this is not an exact trigonometrical value but straight from jester value so you can have a rough estimate where to put the radar elevation. Feel free to use this value and make a chart for yourself since i'm bad at it , or if you want to interpolate from this value. please note that this was done using TWS using 20 Azimuth X 4 Bar. and I only make this until 40 Nm since beyond that distance the radar cone will be big enough to track a target within the cone

whoops. i meant to post this in the F-14 section

that's ok, but if you look into your kneeboard, we implemented it with the last patch :-)
