Cmptohocah Posted February 9, 2021 Posted February 9, 2021 In EOS scan mode there is an option of moving the scan zone to three different positions (just like the radar): left, center and right. However moving the scan zones does nothing, as the target marker keeps the same position on the HUD regardless. Here we have 3 screenshots of the same target with all 3 different zones selected: 1 Cmptohocah=CMPTOHOCAH

BlackPixxel Posted February 9, 2021 Posted February 9, 2021 (edited) Yes, the IRST scanzones are broken. Keep in mind that the IRST scanzones in the MiG-29 work very different to the Su-27. Here is what it should be doing: The scanzone will not shift to the left or right, as it does in the Su-27. Instead, it will only cover either the left (-30° to 0°) or the right (0° to +30°) half of the full scan (-30° to + 30°). As a result, the update rate of the IRST gets twice as fast in the selected zone. The position of the marks on the HUD will not change. There simply won't be marks in the half of the HUD that is not part of the scanzone. Edited February 9, 2021 by BlackPixxel 3 1

But that is likely so that you can keep a vector for interception better when you don't have just 30 degree center (+-/15 deg) but you can keep target at one side. i7-8700k, 32GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 2x 2080S SLI 8GB, Oculus Rift S. i7-8700k, 16GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 1080Ti 11GB, 27" 4K, 65" HDR 4K.

I guess then the current implementation could be considered "satisfactory" even though it does not match the real thing 100%. Cmptohocah=CMPTOHOCAH
