I saw that in the implementations of the ah-64 it is under processing, can someone explain this radar mode to me..thx

It's a radar mapping mode that will create a radar map of the terrain, just like the A-G radars in the Viper, Hornet or Strike Eagle.

Thx QuiGon for the info.

Nice!

RMAP will be a handy thing to have.

RMAP is here!

Would love to see an instructional and capability video on YouTube. (I know there is a pdf about RMAP )

RMAP functions identically to GTM, it just displays the data in a different format along with terrain.

GTM: PPI format with PFZ/NFZ but no terrain underlay.

RMAP: B-scope format with terrain underlay but no PFZ/NFZ.

This is why you can perform a scan in one and then switch to the other without needing to perform another scan. In each mode, the radar is functioning the same; only the FCR page is changing appearance.

It's an amazing piece of technology. Being able to see the terrain below the target is great. 

I've created a mission with a "Mega Range", in order to train weapons employment with various platforms at various types of targets.

The range is located on a dry lake at Tonopah.

Using the Apache FCR RMAP, you can see the terrain countors, as well some of the other targets, like some containers around the tank range.

What amazed me the most was seeing how well the radar detects the range countours, you can clearly see where the paved road is as well other features rom the range.

It makes me wonder how much is going on under the hood when using the FCR. Amazing depiction of the technology.

Hi,

another useful feature, can you please share the test mission thank you.

Just curious if this is a bug or no (in contrast to the real aircraft), but is the ZOOM on the RMAP not supposed to have terrain data?

ZOOM is for target sorting when several target symbols are clustered together and it is difficult to distinguish between them. It works the same in GTM and RMAP, so it won't have terrain video underlay.
