toilet2000 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 (edited) As with the Hornet's LTWS (though it was partially fixed), the SAM mode of the radar displays symbology relative to the HUD frame, not World coordinates. As such, the TD box moves with the aircraft, but should stay pointing in the same "world" direction (at least updated as fast as the INS/Air Data Computer can update the pitch ladder/orientation). This makes SAM almost useless during any kind of basic maneuvering (a 15 degree bank will throw the box far away from the real target due to the lower refresh rate of SAM). See this Hornet bug thread for a good explanation: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=238656f-16_SAM_box_bug.trk Edited October 3, 2019 by toilet2000 Added track Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Santi871 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 It was fixed for LTWS in the Hornet (but not HARM or RWR), but this bug is back for SAM in the viper as the thread says. Track attached. Notice the target stays fixed on the radar despite heading and pitch changes, only refreshing when revisited again by the radar (if it is able to find it).f16_sam_no_stabilization.trk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
