Datalink contact altitude

[Spirale]

Hi,

Is it possible to display the contact altitude on the datalink contact like in the F16 one?

Thx

Sure. Just put the target under your cursor and it will show on the right of the target icon (HAFU). You can also get a good feel for where the antenna elevation is set relative to the location of datalink contacts with the AZ/EL format, a very useful page available in A/A master mode.

Thx a lot

I find the F16 data more handy, you  look at the contact and it shows altitude.

That also gets cluttered, I don't care about the altitude of 95% the tracks on the display. Just the handful I'm targeting.

And if you put your cursor on the D/L contact on the SA page and press STEP (bottom second button from left), it remains displayed, don't even need the AZ/EL page to see the altitude...

A question on this: no idea if it's correct as is or not, but currently whenever you get a RWR update (or that seems to be what causes it), you lose the STEP "lock" and have to rebug and set STEP back on the target.  Really handy function, but a PITA when you have to keep redoing it.
