Napillo Posted May 27, 2022 Posted May 27, 2022 (edited) F/A-18 gets sam ranges on the SA page - why don't we see sam ranges on the HSD? I looked, and there is a video out there, put out by PAF that shows Link-17 and it has circles on it showing sam ranges - but the aircraft doesn't show them? 2:54 (frame by frame to see) it has circles on the map. 2:57 as well. 10-117 has the HMD - you can see 5:15 in the video, the black thing near the left of the pilot's left shoulder is the sensor for the head tracking. Also 5:27. You can see the helmet has that characteristic brim of the display and the slanted glass. They also show 11-135 in the same shots, both of which are Block 1 aircraft. 5:36 a different helmet (not HMD) but has the head tracker piece affixed in the cockpit at the same place.

Looks to me like a GCI station and who knows what the rings are supposed to display. We cant not even be sure if that is true Link-17. 10 hours ago, Napillo said: 10-117 has the HMD - you can see 5:15 in the video, the black thing near the left of the pilot's left shoulder is the sensor for the head tracking. Also 5:27. Right behind the sensor, you can see the CFT (conformal fuel tanks) that are used by F-16 only. So that aircraft we see in the video is not a JF-17 but F-16 just like this one: 10 hours ago, Napillo said: They also show 11-135 in the same shots, both of which are Block 1 aircraft. 5:36 a different helmet (not HMD) but has the head tracker piece affixed in the cockpit at the same place. That is still F-16 fotages. You can tell that by looking at the canopy in the back and the wings. Edited May 27, 2022 by Mike_Romeo 3 My skins
