correct as-is RWR, Threat warning prime panel - Target Separation button

[BIGNEWY]

We are not going to keep going back and forth on this. 

If you have actual evidence that applies to our F-16 please DM me

thanks

The TGT SEP is not working. It does not seperate the threats anymore

The RWR button "TGT SEP" does not separate the RWR symbols on the RWR:

Attached please find a short track with a simple test mission.
All icons are still placed on top of each other instead of separating them a little so you can read the numbers.

The TGT SEP function can only separate RWR symbols in a radial fashion, outward from the center. If the radar symbols are in "Search" mode along the outer ring of the RWR display, they cannot be separated outward any further.

TGT SEP functioning the way you are describing makes very little sense for exactly the reason you list: you can't separate outward for the vast majority of symbols that will be displayed. Especially when you consider that the primary use case is separating multiple search symbols on the same bearing.

Interestingly, what you describe is not separation "in a radial fashion", as you put it. 

Radial separation is defined as: 

"Given some central reference point A, the radial separation between locations X and Y is the number of degrees (or radians, if you prefer) in the angle XAY". 

TGT SEP behaving in this way makes it a lot more useful because it breaks out symbols on the same bearing. I'm curious now if the reference material being used said "radial" and that word was misunderstood somehow.

This topic has been discussed extensively in this thread (post linked references as much as you're ever going to get on what the reference material is):

Here we go again... seems that, until we won't find any proof how is this suppose to work IRL, we don't have any chance of ED fixing it. I've put lots of hours investigating, but so far no actual luck. If anyone else can provide anything... I hope someone gets lucky, and find something.

I doubt its some magical info that we‘re missing, it‘s likely a question of how the avaliable info is interpreted. Even in the f-5 the rwr tgt sep button works better than the viper…

Hi all!

 

I'm pretty much a n00b and my mate and  I have been learning the f-16 together.

 

My issue is I can't seem to figure out how to get the TGT SEP button to work on the RWR. I hit it and nothing happens.

 

Is this a bug, or something not added yet? Or hopefully, I am just doing something wrong and y'all know a fix?

 

Thanks!

@BIGNEWY

why is this a wishlist item and not a bug?

it was working before you guys remodeled the RWR..

[BIGNEWY]

threads merged, it is correct based on the information we have.
