[NOT A BUG] RWR/EW HUD Lines Position


SCU

Recommended Posts

I think the RWR lines in the HUD should be further from their center than they are now. It makes sense too to have the lines more out of the way and along the edges.

 

A nice clue as to how further the lines should be is by viewing HUD videos of the F-18 and that's what I found:

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=192368&stc=1&d=1534702197

 

So it seems that the lines should be adjusted in DCS such that when a contact is overlapping the G indication the number/letter at the end should overlap the G letter.

 

You can see the difference between the DCS and RL in the other attachments. I think that longer lines mean higher threat, just a guess though.

- RL Rhino/Super Hornet

- DCS Wags' video

the dashed lines do not start at the same position as the short solid lines.

As far as the placement goes, I agree its alittle off.

I hope for ED to reconsider the [no bug] label, because the EW symbols on HUD clearly need to be tweaked to be more towards the edges like the RL HUD, and the realistic setup would really help if the lines are more out of the way from other info on the HUD. Thanks! :)
