Radar indication on HUD

[RogueRunner]

Should I see a little cross on the HUD where the radar is pointing in this version cause I do not? Target is locked

That’s what the rhombus (diamond) is for. To show you the direction and magnitude of antenna movement. It will cover target when in the middle

Important to note that the diamond will not change position on the hud relative to your roll.

For example: If you lock a target and the diamond is situated lower then your cross hairs. You might think that if you roll 180 degrees that the diamond will now appear above your cross hairs, however this will not be the case. The diamond will still show below your cross hairs. This is somewhat counter intuitive often to a lot of people. Myself included.

I like this for one reason, I think it will make cranking and rolling to reverse the crank while maintain near max crank angle easier lol

Pretty sure you use the circle to the edge of the HUD for that purpose.

I do agree that it's helps when cranking. It's sadly though terrible if you want help getting eyes on target to see if they launched first.

For the FC version you would be correct. However in full fidelity that's just a steering cue for best intercept to the target. The diamond will show how far your antenna is positioned off to the side.

I'm quite certain you both have if you've locked with the radar.

If locking with the irst or any of the IRST close combat mode you won't see it since your not locking with the radar.

[AhSoul]

Yeah maybe. Just so small I've not really noticed it, or it's overlapped with other HUD items....

Yeah saw it last night

As far as I know, the MiG 23 marks the target with a dot. Will this feature be available on the MiG 29, or is it not available at all?

It only does this within 8 km. Feature did not make it to Fulcrum
