DarkStar79 Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Hello, I have 2 questions. Is there any way to see the ground radar elevation? Also how useful is the radar elevation? Are you guys using it alot and so when and why? Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadnap Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Are you talking about on the HUD or on the radar screen? On the screen there are altitude indicators that appear to the left and right along with a reference bar to demonstrate 100m. Works just like the HUD's altitude references. Or do you mean HUD altitude as a readout of radar altitude not barometric? --- AJS37 Viggen, F-16C Viper, Adobe Premier.

Skyracer Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 (edited) Turn the knob to Akan, and turn the radar on you will see it on top of the radar screen.

Pablon64 Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 When you are using A/A weapons you can see an indicator above the CI Radar Screen, indicating the elevation of radar antenna (see the image of Skyracer). In other cases you can´t see anything informing about antenna position. On real aircraft, the pilot moves a rotating potentiometer with a detent in center position, so he knowns where the antenna is. A trick you can use is rotate the weapon selector knob to a A/A weapon (IR-RB for example) to see the indicator, set the desired position and after that, reselect the A/G weapon you like. However, for A/G weapons the antenna is set automatically (in function of flight altitude and scan range) so normally you don’t need to change the elevation.

Is there any point on changing the elevation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyracer Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 OK thx! When im just scaning the ground. Is there any point on changing the elevation? No, leave it in any A/G mode and it will be fine MY SYSTEM SPECS: Hardware Intel pentium 3 @ 800 MHz, 256 Mb RAM, Geforce 2 64Mb, Dell screen 1024x768 + Microsoft sidewhiner joystick + TrackIR 2 + TrackClitPro SOFTWARE: Microsoft Windows 98, Noice Attack & VIASAT PRO, SnackView Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
