Might be out of the scope for this update, but getting some of the effects on the CRT display in this video would be awesome. And somewhat annoying at time I'm sure, but more immersive.
 

 

The edge of the radar returning image is pretty sharp even the range scale is like 60km. That's impressive. The edge is definitely sharper than the game.

Yeah, much sharper indeed. It probably helps not having to worry about performance issues, there's probably a few more samples taken by the real radar than the one in-game.

I added it to the 60km tracker, but no promise. If it requires an extensive rework of "all things radar" we might pass on it, to put it carefully, in favor of a long list of important things still outstanding. But as always we'll take a look. Thank you.

@IronMike Another radar related feature that is missing, seemingly intentionally, is the wind compensated "forward line" when using the Rb04. Do you know why it was not implemented, and would it be possible to get it on the list of things to add?

From one of the files from the AJS module: "Rb04 also show vertical line (which is wind compensated but we are not going to do that) and the min max lines should also be displayed".

If the real radar uses analog signal processing, it could potentially handle much more data and produce a sharper image than a digitally sampled implementation like the DCS Viggen.

I would have to ask, but there is likely a good reason it was left out, usually being of the "too much hassle to develop for too little outcome" nature.
