Ive never worked an accurate kit from Trumpeter that didnt have poor fit results, inaccurate panel lines and shapes, and be worth the price.

The large screen I assume is a way to classify what king of RADAR you're hunting.

Basically the EWO gives the pilot course instructions. The smalled screen tyo the right is the actual Seeker Head input from the AGM-78. I guess when uncaged it actively sweeps? I think it acts just like the damn F-5E RADAR does. You adjust the seaaker head angle na dbasically steer until the head locks on. This may not sweep like I have it depicted. The "return" may actually appear in the lower half of the screen too (derp). My assumption for the tick marks on the left screen are AZ angle. Probabaly in 5 degree increments.

Let me know guys, let's keep this going. ***** EDIT, I think the indicators on the right screen do move but they only move when you move them. There is the large AGM-78 panel on the right and it has both an angle adjustment knob and an AZ adjustment knob. Then again there is a Sweep Rate, Attenuation and tuning knob. Maybe it does sweep and you still move the crossshairs over the RADR return or signal spike and then lock? To get things back on topic, do you think it would be possible for ED to produce a reasonable Wild Weasel, provided they fixed the EW modeling and the proper manuals? I figure if the Thud is being done as a mod, it would only make sense to do a Wild Weasel if the following are true. We have enough data to do a proper Wild Weasel at some point in the future if ED ever improves the EW? Given the state of the EW modeling and what can be done with scripts, there is a way to make SEAD different in a D and Wild Weasel. If the first is false, then I say leave the Wild Weasel as AI only. If the first is true and there is a way to accurately simulate what the pilot saw with in the limits of DCS then it might work Edited Saturday at 08:52 PM by upyr1 2
SOLIDKREATE Posted Saturday at 08:59 PM Author Posted Saturday at 08:59 PM (edited) I think we can 'fake' it now. I beleieve if they or a MOD team scratch built new SAMs, we'd be okay. I'm sure an add-on could be made to give all the RADAR's on every plane/ground vehicle a unique frequency. Then provide a kneeboard checklist of freq's that we can classify RADAR's to. We already kind of have this with the RWR which is way more advanced in this game. I cannot speak to something like that actually existing. I never saw anything we had that just "knew" it was a friendly F-15/6/8 ect. What we did see on the indicator was 'FC' 'SR' ect. That would be 'Fire Control', 'Search RADAR'. I had to use my Mode 4 Interrogator to do that. ED does not have that modeled in here and what we have is wildly inacurrate. I like freedom so, I can't get into that. Coincidentally the PAR (Precision Approach Control RADAR) is an old Fir Control RADAR. So, we got practice with those and using our EPL book. The only other thing is that someones microwave in their house reads a an FC RADAR too LOL. For an old girl she was a powerful bird (P-3C). I know what you all see on Wikipedia, but we can carry way more exotic stuff that that. The we'd have to have some way for players to take a slot to perfomr 'M.I.J.I.' as well.

SOLIDKREATE Posted Saturday at 09:07 PM Author Posted Saturday at 09:07 PM (edited) Going back to my third sentence, what I mean is this: EW = EARLY WARNING, FA = FIGHTER AIRCRAFT, BA = BOMBER AIRCRAFT, SA = SURFACE TO AIR SOVIET FA - 300 ~ 350MHz NATO FA - 340 ~ 400Mhz SOVIET BA - 200 ~ 340MHz NATO BA - 170 ~ 390MHz SOVIET EW - 100 ~ 220MHz NATO EW - 120 ~ 210MHz SOVIET SA - 500 ~ 700MHz NATO SA - 550 ~ 660MHz Then our faux EPL would have this: MiG-29A - 331MHz ~ 336MHz F-16C - 347MHz ~ 366MHz SA-2 - 551MHz ~ 543MHz Just as an example and not fact. After we get your freq, we'ds try an dreac h out to you and do a MODE 4 Check. The thing is the mission maker would have to program the Cipher key when he/she makes the mission. I dont think we have this?

The system/sensors then know what to look for, but also have to be pretty sensitive and discriminating.

I believe the larger screen on the left (part of the APR-35 is called the panoramic display) works as you drew it, with the three separate sections of the display to show signal traces in the three bands. The smaller, right-hand display (analysis display also part of the APR-35) can be used to show a number of things depending on the mode selected. When tuned to a signal, it will present info on that signal as a trace, but by changing modes it can show homing, with the circle 'shown' which indicates the direction of the emitter. There is also a direction finding mode, with two vertical strobes representing signal strength from the left or right of the aircraft in relation to the signal or a trace display option, where an increase or decrease in signal strength from the left or right of the jet, is proportional to the length of the trace and a simultaneous increase or decrease in strobe length, is an indication of signal strength. The blank panel next to the APR-36/37 warning scope, should be fitted with another APR-36/37 scope (Attack Scope Display). This second scope is used to select targets via a cursor, however, unlike the warning scope, this scope only displays targets which both the APR-36/37 & APR-35 are tuned to.

RWRs in real life can differentiate between different radars and ID them as F15, F18, F4 etc, but they're subject to ambiguities, so on occasion may not actually be what the system says they are.

I'm drawing up another one right now. I saw another photo and the horizontal screen cursors dont appear to move at all. I think it is some sort of phosporecent paint that glows when the scope is lit. I think the goal is to get the signal spike in the center ring. For example if the spike is dead center, but the tip is above the center mark, we'd point the AGM-78 antenna down until it is. In addition I believe the left and right extremes of the centerline are range of that band freq. When I gte done I will make a PowerPoint and upload for everyone to see and discuss over.

Yes, that's how it works. I mentioned a circle before, but that's wrong, it's a dot. The circle, vertical and horizontal lines on the analysis display are inscribed, but there is a dot that represents the position of the targeted signal, the aim of which is to place inside the circle. The aiming dot also appears on the pilots gunsight. Edited Sunday at 06:13 PM by Blaze1 2

The position of the trace on the panoramic display (the larger square display) shouldn't change as a function of the direction of the emitter, as it's just a frequency vs amplitude display. Also the analysis display (the one with the dot), is not a b-scope. I don't believe is should have a sweep line on it.

You described the panoramic display as depicting range, rather than azimuth (which I previously thought you had described), this isn't quite right, it's just a frequency vs amplitude display.

I did this because what I described as the "B-Scope" already gives you AZ°. I added the faux sweep animation because just below the right side of the display it says "Sweep Rate". If it really doesn't have a sweep persay, then the dot would still have a target trail and most likely pulse with the sweep. Then the EWO just adjusts the inclination on the ANT and give the pilot course commands "Turn left", "Stop Turn", "Fly Heading Two-Three-Zero" ect. This is what I did as an EWO based off of my equipment. *ADHD side quest* - I dod remember one piece of my gear was the AN/ALR-66(???).

I believe the sweep rate knob adjusts how fast the receiver scans/listens to the selected band from end to end. The antennas can't really be directed like that, they should be automatically directed by the system. I think there's a little bit of info on the AN/ALR-66 in the P-3 NATOPS. It's described as an RWR. The P-3's AN/ULQ-16 is perhaps closer in function to the APR-35 than the ALR-66. Edited Sunday at 11:52 PM by Blaze1
