Radar controls? Sight depression?

[jubuttib]

Are these kinda just missing for now? The radar only power and range, but no azimuth width or elevation controls, so you can only spot stuff that's co-altitude with you (from what I can tell), and there's no way to depress the sights for A-G.

Use RTFM option.

Radar operation:

1. Press I to turn on the radar.
2. Press 2 to select MSL mode. GUNS/MISSILE & CAMERA switch (1) and switches of wingtip
launchers with AIM-9 (2) on the armament control panel will be activated.
3. Use ELEV lever to watch upper and lower hemisphere (press R.Shift+ ; to adjust radar dish
up and R.Shift+ . to adjust radar dish down). Target symbol will appear on radarscope after
target acquisition. Continue approach to target up to 20-mile range.
 Set RANGE selector to 20 ( - ). Target acquisition symbol appears, continue approach to target up to
10-mile range

4. When 10-mile range is reached, align acquisition symbol with target using TDC button (1) ( ;
– up, . – down, , – left, / – right) and press Enter to lock on to the target. The radar
display scale will be automatically adjusted to 10 miles

For scan azimuth try Rsift+, and Rshift+/ keys or look in controls for other binds.

Gun sight selection:

1. Press I to turn on the radar.
2. Press 4 to select DOGFIGHT MISSILE mode. Once the mode is activated, the radar will
attempt to acquire the target. The radarscope scale will be automatically adjusted to 5 miles.
3. Press С to arm the guns. The sight system will operate in А/А1 mode. Press R.Alt+ I to
select А/А2 mode

Thanks!

Turns out I was just struggling to find what the bindings were called, d'oh. Search for radar, searched for antenna, searched for elevation, nothing came up, did not expect it to be called "Scan Zone Up/down".

This I can't find anything for, those bindings don't do anything for me. I guess it's always stuck on the same azimuth and bars. At least there's elevation now, so that's something.

Gunsight I could get to work in the gyro and radar modes, but when I was talking about the depression I was more meaning manual depression for bombing etc. That seems to be missing, you just get a couple of predetermined pipper depressions depending on the weapon.

As for the manual, checked the Flaming Cliffs folder but in hindsight that's not where the planes are anymore, needed to check the individual folders.

Nothing in controls for "Scan zone Left/Right"?

It's expected to see missing controls of some systems but not this one.

Only thing under scan was up/down.
