actually the range of the radar is 160nmi. zooming in or out does not alter the range, just the filtered picture you get. the correct term for the shape of the radar beam would be a cone. If you already locked a target, you will not loose that target if it dives below your radar elevation envelope. The radar will look for the target in the last spot it saw it every so often and adjust elevation if necessary. It is of course always good to have the elevation set though. The radar does not interrogate. It scans through a database file on how different aircraft look like on radar from various angles and tries to find a match. If there is a clear match it will display such a match. The radar gets better resolution if the contact is closer. In the real world, things like exposed engine turbines through the air intake can create a good giveaway because the radar can actually count the turbine blades, although I doubt that's modeled. You don't have to use the FCR for the amraam. You can fire them in boresight mode. Not advised though. The bracket thing is actually called the dynamic launch zone. Or DLZ. The circle of the missile shows valid firing solutions. It's size depends on range to target. If you're at close range, the circle shrinks because the missile can not turn in time. Any solution in which the small circle is within the larger one is okay. If you want to give the missile the best amount of energy, not wasting any for initial turning for intercepting, then you want that small circle dead center in the larger one. You don't want the target on boresight. You want the intercept point of the missile on boresight. The amraam doesn't need radar guidance. you can just leave it be and it will proceed to the last known intercept point and turn it's radar on. You will likely miss, or hit something else. The F-16 can engage multiple targets at once, just need to have them softlocked. When softlocked, you can use tms right to cycle between the targets. That is best done not in tws mode, as cycling through the contacts can take some time. You didn't go over the missile timer. All the MFD labels are showing what the current state of something is. If you click cool, you disable the cooling as the missile was already being cooled.

@Shurryy Keep in mind if you hold down TMS up it will focus the radar beam on a narrow area of the sky which can allow you to acquire and lock onto a target quicker. Also consider the geometry of the nose while using the radar. If you are at high alt, and nose level, it will be difficult to lock onto a radar contact which is low - you need to aim your nose at the target. It's a search light, not a solid wall that comes out from the nose.

What can I do to locate my targets more easily?

@tanit12 жыл бұрын
@n00p3 The radar gimbals the seeker head of the AIM9 toward the radar contact, otherwise the seeker head is just centered in the HUD (the diamond). So if you were to launch, it would only be effective without lock if it was relatively centered in the HUD and you heard a tone. I mean there's always a chance it will acquire after launch if you just pickle it off, but for best results make sure the radar is locked onto it.

Yeah np glad to help and yes Bulls-eye is a lot simpler then you think. I'm not the best at BMS just got into it my self but from my years of sim experience I feel I can safely say bulls-eye is a predetermined location. When someone calls out bulls-eye 235 095 you then want to make your HSD on the MFD your center or interest and slew the cursor until it reads at the bottom left 235 for 095. You now have the location of what ever was called out.

@tanit11 жыл бұрын
In real life there is a reliable IFF (identify friend or foe) system, the radar returns will show as RED (confirmed hostile), yellow (unknown), green (friendly). I actually saw an IFF system on an AWACS and this is how it worked. Unfortunately the BMS team didn't feel they knew enough about IFF to model it. You need to declare all contacts with AWACS (q menu) to interrogate them, and correlate RWR spikes with radar picture for situational awareness.

When I press up down "," key arrow key of my falcon 4.32, the plane doesn't do left rudder but move my view point to left, "." key becomes view point to left, "L" becomes viewpoint to central. I didn't make any changes. Do you know the possible reason that these keys doesn't do what they suppose to do? Is there another key I should press together? I actually try ctrl or alt or shift with right arrow key and none pf these 2-key combination works. Pls don't ask me why I am still using 4.32 instead of upgrade to 4.35. I like old version.

Great video. The one thing that is really confusing to me is the range of that AMRAAM-shot. The indexer showed you an appropriate range, and you took the shot. But when looking through the cockpit window the aircraft seemed to be very close, just judging by the visual contact. Amraams are know to be bvr-missiles, right? If that was a appropriate range to get a kill, I'd say the amraam is pretty darn far from a bvr-missile. Now, is that just the game modeling the whole thing in a unrealistic scale? Or is it a long range and just looks like it's close?
