correct as-is Radar ?

[Tomcat388th]

I made up a training mission for BVR practice 1 SU27 about 60 miles out nose hot.  I have no radar contact till about 30 . I have experimented with different bar scans, azimuth, and the high med/intrlv.  Ant elevation is fine. I have even gone to the f10 map to get alt and distance from me to fine tune my inputs. Is this just the way it is or am I missing something. I'll post a trackfile and the miz.  I have this on invulnerable just for training

Thanks TC

You picked up bandit at approximately 42nm in the track, it is fine and how it should be.

Beside that, why are you keeping low? If you gain altitude (like AI did), you will be able shoot down him from far more distant range, therefore keeping yourself safer (imagine Flanker had R-27ET). Also, I'd suggest take less missiles and tanks versus single target, because these create drag, so it is more difficult to gain speed.

I've played through your mission, designated target at 46 nm, shot him down with single missile launched from 33nm.

 Thanks for taking a look at it. I knew that my load out wasn't realistic but I'm still surprised that the radar won't pick him up further out not for a shot or anything. With him being at a higher and having the advantage of altitude and me looking up. I assumed he would show within a few sweeps of the radar. 

Thanks again
