Unrealistic GMT radar? DCS is too good?

You can see big big square moving target  shown f-16gmt radar
big big square on the F16 GMT radar

. Is this realistic or is it incorrect?

Your "F-16C real" photo is from a much earlier version of the F16C and most likely a much earlier version of the radar as well. And who knows if what we are looking at has moving targets on it. I think the squares a bit too big personally, but not too far off.

The person who checks "correct as is" is usually the the ED team.

I don't know what any of this in the 2nd post has to do with the GMT blocks, the image in your first post as blurry as it is certainly looks like big ass blocks to me.

And where in your source does the GMT representation contradict that in DCS?

It is a symbolic simplification to make the moving target more recognizable to the pilot amid the noise.
The representation in DCS is correct.

First off, I am not the one who marked it as "correct-as-is", that is the ED team who does that. 

 

Second, don't send links to try to prove something when the screenshots you just shared are from a document for the other F16 sim. Also, kinda weird how you took screenshots from another doc but linked to another one as if I wouldn't find where you actually grabbed those screenshots. 

 

Third off, if you have actual publically available source material that contradicts what is in this sim send it directly to either Nineline or BigNewy. 

 

Thank you and have a good day. 🫡

 open public level (media, old pdf etc) we can access. of coruse, we dont know see real gmt f16
If there is something that makes sense of material, of course  dcs players will understand.

There are sources that show exactly what we see in DCS, a square. what you have shown us is still an older software representation/solution.
Nothing else you see in the A/A FCR a clean picture with nice symbols, everything nicely simplified for the pilot.

Exactly this logic of representation was then also decided for the GMT, objects that move fast enough are recognized by the system and are displayed clearly as a square as it can be seen in Den Docs, I don't speak for ED either, but I assume that this was the orientation.

And I will not post any documents here for obvious reasons. 🙂
