Viper vs Hornet Radar

[NineLine]

Hi Nineline. The only time I see the radar switch to RWS is when I TMS Down too much. I will try and get an online server tomorrow and record a track for you. I've been playing mostly SP lately with the Liberation campaign.

 

Thanks would appreciate it and I can run it by the team to see if there is an issue.

Reading more here on the differences between the Hornet and F-16 FCRs, I have to admit it would have been sweet to have gotten a version of the F-16 using the newer V9 radar. More range plus the SAR component.

I TMS Right and lock the first target subsequent TMS Rights do nothing. And in most cases it does have tracks on multiple targets.

 

For testing turn off MIDS so you only see the radar and not L16. There are two kinds of tracks: tank and system. System can be bugged, tank can't and both look the same with the Link overlay. Without the Link symbology you can see better what's happening.

Okay so last night I finally got back on an Inferno server to test TWS. As I said before, I have been playing SP (Liberation Campaign) and TWS has been working well enough. Interestingly enough, it worked for me in MP last night as well. The server I joined was empty so there were plenty of targets. I flew at two pairs of two. Both pairs were beaming so I didn't pick them up at all on radar until about 50 miles out, when they finally turned towards me. The two groups were about 20 miles apart. It took a few TMS Downs and TMS Rights, but I managed to get tracks on all four and change targets between all of them with TMS Right. Not sure what changed, but I was never able to do that before in MP. Once I had the first tracked locked I could not lock subsequent targets. So either something was fixed, or all of the sudden I starting doing something right, although I did nothing different than before.

 

Anyways I'm going to try again today and if I encounter any issues again I will post the track.

 

Frederf: Thank you for the advice. I'm aware of the different track types. I wait until its the radar that can see the contact before I attempt to create TWS tracks.

Hi

 

Nothing has changed, maybe human error?

 

thanks

Not ruling that out BIGNEWY, but I haven't changed the way I work the radar either. I haven't had a chance to go back and try again. The real world has caught up to me. Will get back to testing that hopefully this weekend.

问题是 APG-73 和 APG-68(V)5 之间的实际差异显然非常小，小到实际驾驶的飞行员并没有真正注意到与同一目标之间的差异。这是为什么呢？我不知道，也许 APG-68 正在使用更高级的硬件或软件来弥补较小的圆盘？

MMC 7000A,the improve version of MMC7000.

MMC7000 can inprove 33% range while the radar is same v9,I dont know it can improve how many range while radar is v5.

MMC7000A used on USAF 2011 F16CM.The 2007 F16CM version in DCS maybe use MMC5000.

hey so apparently the national electronics museum has dozens of documents available for researchers on apg-68 apg-66 and apg-63 and others if anyone is interested.
