fixed [REPORTED]F-16 HSD Radar Spotlight Lines - Bug or feature?

[Charly_Owl]

Hi,

 

In the current DCS implementation, the Radar Spotlight scan lines on the HSD extend to infinity and do not form a cone if the selected FCR range is smaller than the HSD scale... they just form two lines. Is it a bug or is it how it is really supposed to be?

 

According to the documentation available on the FCR, my understanding of these lines is that they should form a cone, which should extend to the FCR range selected.

 

Currently simulated

 

What I think should be simulated (observe the missing line that closes the cone). This example is for a HSD range setting of 60 nm and a radar range setting of 40 nm.

 

You could compare it to the JF-17's white EVP (Radar Scan Envelope Cone) on its HSD page, which is scaled properly with the radar range..

 

 

If you have documentation that proves me wrong, please let me know.

If HSD range is smaller than HSD range? What is the difference between HSD range and HSD scale? :huh:

Or did you wanted to say FCR instead of HSD in one case? Because as it is written is doesn't really seem to make any sense to me?

 

Edit: Your edit now made it clear that you were actually speaking of the FCR range setting :thumbup:

I checked this and with a 20nm range on the radar, the spotlight cone extended all the way off a 160nm HSD scale.
