Weta43 Posted February 21, 2006 Posted February 21, 2006 The expert F-14 has always thrown locks from the Su27 since 1.0. Flying head to head reciprocal courses, straight & level, same altitude. You find it, lock it up, & once or twice between ~ 80km & WVR you will always loose lock. No evasive manouvers needed. I guess it's just started showing up on other planes too now. See this: http://forum.lockon.ru/showthread.ph...highlight=lock though Gazehound complains of his radar actually turning off, which I've never seen. Cheers.

Oh yes, I remember in MP (ver. 1.0,1.02 & 1.1) - the F15`s radar would stop scanning once in a while. Never seen this in single player. Never encountered it in ver. 1.11 (MP & SP). Don`t know about 1.12a. I guess it`s time to fire up some AI F14s...
S77th-GOYA Posted February 21, 2006 Posted February 21, 2006 It is correct in that screen too. Draw a line from your position on the radar scope to the target`s 12 - 6 line. Notice the angle between these 2 lines. Now, look at the target`s "ASPECT" on the HUD - only slightly off, if any. It's off by about 30 degrees.
Kula66 Posted February 23, 2006 Author Posted February 23, 2006 Quick question about the radar symbology on this screenshot. What the hell is MEM at the bottom left of the scope and couple of other details that I`m not familiar with. Were you using a different difficulty level for radar when you took this shot? Crusty, You've never used MEM mode? Wow man, don't say you use that old TWS mode!!! That really is the dark ages!
Pilotasso Posted February 23, 2006 Posted February 23, 2006 It's off by about 30 degrees. As someone else pointed out the radar screen is square and not triangular. Everybody thinks that the midle of the bottom radar screen is your aircraft wich is not. Infact the whole bottom line is your aircraft. As such the coordinates of the contact is slightly off from the real location in the world. There is a transformation of coordinates between the real world and the graph on the radar.A single dot is tranformed into a line (your aircraft) The closer the contact gets to the bottom the more the acentuated the difference gets. Hence your "discrepancies" on the HUD. This is a feature and not a BUG. Im Surprise ED gave the trouble of implementing it. .
Kula66 Posted February 23, 2006 Author Posted February 23, 2006 But this isn't how it used to work!!! It got changed ... the 2 displays used to match up, now they don't. Yet something else thats been 'fixed' in the 15!
Pilotasso Posted February 23, 2006 Posted February 23, 2006 As far as I can tell this is how real radar displays work, unless ED had goten it right by porking it! ;) .
Kula66 Posted February 24, 2006 Author Posted February 24, 2006 As far as I can tell this is how real radar displays work, unless ED had goten it right by porking it! ;) I assume you are talking about the B-scan display ... not the fact that the HUD and MFD no longer match.
Kula66 Posted April 9, 2006 Author Posted April 9, 2006 Bringing this up again ... But in this shot, target mid screen on the MFD ... the target on the HUD has a very different course ... Also in this flight ... I had 5 targets on TWS screen at 20-25 miles ... 2 locked, then suddenly they all vanish and despite scanning up/down couldn't re-acquire any of them! This is soooo annoying!!! ED - Please, please fix the radar on the 15!
