10 km radar error !

[ACME_WIdgets]

Hot hot in Su27 TWS HUD shows 55km to target

Map view shows 45km (after converting nm to km).

SOLVED - i should have used nm and not statute miles.

Sorry.

Is this why the R27er aren't as good as the 120c ?

Not what I see on my end. HUD range is the range in F10 as well.

Maybe you used the 'normal' miles instead of nautical miles for your conversion.

Radar shows slant range, map shows horizontal. I'm not sure if that could account for 10km of difference but, what was the altitude difference when you took this measurement?

I'm and IDIOT. Yes, my converter was set for statute miles, not nautical miles.

I apologize @IRONHAND
