INDY69 Posted December 28, 2023 Posted December 28, 2023 (edited) FCP (Front Cockpit) F15E aircrew quickly center the elevation of the radar in Range While Search (RWS) by using one of 2 techniques. These techniques are a quicker and more lethal way to move the A/A radar elevation (and A/G Radar if you are looking for WX) than just using the EL wheel alone. If you thumb aft on the Weapons select switch to GUNS and then back forward to SRM or MRM the elevation of the radar should center on your current altitude when it returns to RWS. Also if you thumb forward on the Auto Acq switch to boresight (or long range boresight, but that is slower) and flush down on the auto acq the radar should center its elevation on your current altitude when it returns to RWS. RAZBAM please consider fixing this bug, the EL wheel should not be the only way to move the elevation of the radar. Edited December 28, 2023 by INDY69 1
INDY69 Posted February 26, 2024 Author Posted February 26, 2024 Recent RB release partially fixes this issue. However once you leave GUNS to SRM or MRM, the elevation should remain centered. The recent change it does not remain centered. after exiting GUNS.
Galinette Posted February 29, 2024 Posted February 29, 2024 If you exit GUNS master mode while your radar is locked, you are not exiting GUNS radar mode but STT radar mode. In that case, the search elevation is not zero, but the last known target elevation. GUNS master mode and GUNS radar search are two different things even if the second is commanded by the first one. You can be in GUNS master mode and STT radar mode. For resetting elevation to zero you need to switch in and out of GUNS mode fast enough to have no locked target.
