RagnarDa Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 I've noticed that the search-radars within the game is quite under-powered. In-game range of the 55G6 EWR is 120 km but according to this source the radar coverage should be at least 400 km! The problem is that the radar doesn't appear on the RWR/SPO of the player aircraft before you are within the default range. Is there any way to modify this so the radar-coverage distance is more accurate/realistic? DCS AJS37 HACKERMAN There will always be bugs. If everything is a priority nothing is.
Grimes Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 Not without modding. But that is a good question why the radar ranges are listed much higher in the in-game encyclopedic than they are in sim. The right man in the wrong place makes all the difference in the world.

Rhinox Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 I've noticed that the search-radars within the game is quite under-powered. In-game range of the 55G6 EWR is 120 km but according to this source the radar coverage should be at least 400 km!... Let me guess: 1. I think real values are classified, and if there is something circulating in public, those are probably too optimistic values (maybe weapon-manufacturing company intentionally "leaked" them into public). Might be that ED has other ways to get info, not just google... 2. Those 400km is maybe possible to achieve in "sterile" conditions: no jamming, only single target tracking, no terrain/vegetation-interference, optimal target altitude (how often do you fly in 20000m?), suitable weather conditions (temperature/humidity), etc. In reality it is probably somewhere in the middle between minimum (65km) and maximum (400km) range. Or even less...
