raelias Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Hey guys, So I have a question, in the Tomcat, if there are multiple TWS tracks, the system automatically sets the radar azimuth to keep the most contacts in view, the hornet beeing a more modern aircraft, at least at the moment it just centers it around the L/S track, say I have 2 tracks 20nm wide, which the radar could scan both if it scans between them, shouldn't it do it? Or IRL does it just centers itself on the L/S track? Find that hard to belive since the tomcat has this function, but I might be wrong Thanks 1 Win10 64, MSI Krait Gaming Z370, I7 8700K, Geforce 1080Ti FTW3 ,32 GB Ram, Samsung 980 EVO SSD Modules: Combind Arms, A-10C, F-86F, F/A-18, F-16, Flaming Cliffs, KA-50, L-39, P-51, UH-1, Christen Eagle II, Persian Gulf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunny Clark Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 There's few few options. You can leave it in manual, in which case it'll center on the TDC cursor. Or you can set a scan center bias by depressing the TDC on a blank area of the scope, which essentially marks a point on the scope you want to center the scan volume on - though we don't have this capability yet.

raelias Posted January 11, 2021 Author Share Posted January 11, 2021 I'm aware of that, that is not the point of this thread tho, what I'm asking if if the IRL hornet has the same capability in TWS Auto to modulate azimuth and elevation to keep the most possible track files in the scan volume as the Tomcat does, and it will be a feature we'll get in the future, or does the IRL jet does not have such function 2 Win10 64, MSI Krait Gaming Z370, I7 8700K, Geforce 1080Ti FTW3 ,32 GB Ram, Samsung 980 EVO SSD Modules: Combind Arms, A-10C, F-86F, F/A-18, F-16, Flaming Cliffs, KA-50, L-39, P-51, UH-1, Christen Eagle II, Persian Gulf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tholozor Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 AFAIK, TWS AUTO in the Hornet only centers the scan volume on the L&S target.

Santi871 Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 The actual aircraft does optimize the centroid and azimuth/bars setting to keep as many tracks as possible in a similar way to the Tomcat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting, I take it there's calculations under the hood that prioritize L&S and DT2 (as long as they exist) to try and ensure they stay in the scan volume?

Yeah, that's part of it. It has a prioritization scheme more complex than but similar in nature to the Tomcat's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would understand what you say if TWS AUTO wasn't there, but it is, and it is supposed to use a centroid.
