Furiz Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Yes, you have to have some return for software to recognize the aircraft if in database. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am aware that there have to be some return from the engine blades (front or back) in order for the software to find some result(s) in thr database. What I didn't know, is that JF-17 has this kind of air intake (so called diverterless supersonic inlet) what the blades are not visible. Is it true, can anyone confirm that? What about the back side of the engine? NCTR software can also recognize aircrafts from the back side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpecterDC13 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 It should be able to recognize both aircraft from the back. The JF-17 does use a DSI which would make it difficult to NCTR. But if it isn't recognizing the F15E then maybe they haven't added it yet.

How then NTCR work on planes like Mig-21 and Mirage 2000 for example? From front side. I doubt engine blades are visible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drspankle Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 You absolutely cannot use NCTR in any other aspect than within a certain degree of nose to nose. Furthermore, it doesn't necessarily need to 'see' the compressor blades - rather it needs to detect the JEM (Jet Engine Modulation) unique to each engine/airframe combination. DCS is attempting to model something that is highly classified, so it's not worth worrying about how accurate it is doing this when no-one is ever going to be willing to confirm the accuracy of the modelling.
