Config to time till loose the target, as the hornet does

[Bravo One]

Hello, I notice that the time to loose a bandit tagged as "system target" is very fast, like 5 seconds, what makes hard shoot diferent targets on a different bearing. Is there anyway to set the time that the target will disappear on the radar after you stop send waves on him? The hornet does that but I couldn't find on the viper.

thx

Depends if you’re in RWS or TWS. TWS will build/maintain a track file as long as it sees the contact every 6.2 seconds. Otherwise it will drop it

ok so there isn't anyway to increase this time, right? thx

I did a test where a bugged TWS target was removed by trigger and counted until track was lost. It was ~6.5 second which is too fast. Same when TWS/STT.

 

You're not really changing anything when shooting AIM-120 on an extrapolated v no track though. AIM-120 is already doing a sort of extrapolation of target intercept and should perform approximately equal whether radar is updating the missile based on coast data or not providing updates at all.

no, you cannot change these values.

What does "v no track" stand for? 

 

Edit: Oh, maybe it's "extrapolated [velocity], [with] no [radar] track"?

Haha ok. Read way too much into that.
