madeiner Posted May 3, 2020 Posted May 3, 2020 I was wondering if the current implementation of the SA page regarding tracks' altitude is final or not. In the viper, you instantly have altitude data for each contact on the HSD. See a contact, you can immediately and accurately move the radar antenna where needed. In the hornet, no altitude is displayed until you interact with the SA page, either via TDC, or via the STEP buttons which conveniently allows you to step through each of the 17 targets on the screen, leaving the hot bandit at 10 miles for last, of course. Is this final? Will there be a better, faster way to know a track's altitude without pressing buttons?
flankerjun Posted May 4, 2020 Posted May 4, 2020 I was wondering too,the viper is super convenient in air combat(the only problem is that the MFD is too small) 通过我的 V1955A 上的 Tapatalk发言 A-10C Warthog,Flaming Cliffs 3,F-16C VIPER,F/A-18C HORNET,Super Carrier,AV-8B Night Attack V/STOL,Mi-8MTV2 Magnificent Eight,Black Shark 2,SA342 Gazelle,UH-1H Huey,Persian Gulf Map,Combined Arms Intel i7-14700KF| Colorful iGame GeForce RTX 2070 AD Special OC GDDR6 8G | Acer PREDATOR 32g DDR5 6000MHZ | MSI PRO Z790A-MAX | Kingston KC3000 1T SSD M.2 | ST 12T HDD 7200RPM | AOC 2790PQU 27'' 4K |Thrustmaster Hotas Warthog PC

webweaver40 Posted May 7, 2020 Posted May 7, 2020 I hope there is improvement with the way it works in hornet. As it stands currently on Growling server, there's just too much busy work with the radar and sa page. When the action gets too close, too easy to get overrun and surprised by enemy. Happens all the time and frustrating as all hello. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk
Shimmergloom667 Posted May 8, 2020 Posted May 8, 2020 From all I know: that's exactly how it works in the real Hornet.

Beamscanner Posted May 8, 2020 Posted May 8, 2020 Not sure about the SA page. But I have seen it go both ways for D/L contacts on the Radar page IRL. (i have proof) I think IRL its dependent on the DCLTR setting.
Harker Posted May 8, 2020 Posted May 8, 2020 I think it's working as intended. The other issue here is that the STEP function should always go L&S (if available) > DT2 (if available) > HAFU with rank 1 > HAFU with rank 2 .... STEP should always select the highest threat first, unless you have targets. In DCS, the threats are correctly ranked on the SA page (there is rank discrepancy between SA and RADAR pages, because friendly HAFUs are ranked on RADAR (always lower than hostile/unknown/ambiguous), but not on SA), but STEP doesn't necessarily start from Rank 1. I find that it prioritizes contacts that are closer, even if they're friendly. So that's a bug. It does prioritize the L&S correctly though.
