    The level of complexity in AI terrain analysis that goes into just this one function on the real jet is amazing. Add to that the complex missile tracking systems, internal mechanics and electronics, and all of the sensors that provide probably an unquantifiable level of feedback into the computer... really impressive engineering to say the least

    For once there is something i'm not understanding from Wags, and that is the "Offset Error", when he turns on the TGP to look at the MarkPoint he just made with the FCR.
    I've replayed those 20ish seconds a few times but am finding it hard to properly understand it still :x

    • @einarengvoll
      @einarengvoll 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      When he changes steer point he is still slewed away from the steer point that's why he had to press the button to sleew back to the new steer point

    • @fisadev
      @fisadev 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      think of it like this: there's always a point of reference, and optionally an offset from said point. Initially you have the pod pointing at a steerpoint (SP), and that SP is the point of reference. When you move the pod, the reference point is still the SP, the reference point does not change, but now the system knows you want to look at some offset *from* that reference point.
      So now you are looking at: reference point (still the SP) + some offset.
      When after that you change the active SP you are just changing the reference point. But the offset is still there. So the system still thinks you want to look at some offset with respect to your reference point, which is now a new SP.
      So now you are looking at: reference point (the new SP) + some offset (same offset than before, unchanged).
      With the CZ button you remove that offset. So the system now points directly at the reference point (which is the second SP).

    • @MattWagner
      @MattWagner  3 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      For example: If you slew off steerpoint 1 and then change to steerpoint 2, the slew created off steerpoint 1 is carried to steerpoint 2. Cursor Zero (CZ) removes the offset off the steerpoint.

    • @wraith444
      @wraith444 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      When he slewed from his starting steerpoint to the target, it created an offset in his sensors so they were looking X distance in Y direction from the steerpoint. That offset stays when you select another steerpoint, so when he selected the markpoint it was applying the earlier offset to the new waypoint.
      So say for example you slew 1000 feet north of a steerpoint, create a markpoint at that spot, then select the markpoint as your steerpoint, your TGP will look 1000 feet north of the markpoint unless you hit cursor zero first.

      Thinking Syria was done by an outside source would Wags be the one to announce it? They added Cypress but I've heard nothing about further additions -- although the location ("Western Iraq") does coincide with this map. Perhaps more hints later.
      Me personally hope its for PG as that entire region is devoid -- Qatar and Bahrain could have been added, as well as "Southern Iraq" as far as I'm concerned.

      You can appreciate the ground radar when you try to complete the "Above the clouds" instant action mission for F/A-18. Your target is a transport ship at iranian coast and its location is random. The only way is to use ground radar mode, make SPI and drop JDAMs thtough a dense layer of clouds.

    Following step by step, including matching altitude and distance, my image of the airfield is not nearly as clear and unlike in the video, I cannot change azimuth in DBS1 and 2. I have to be in NORM or EXP. Also after setting azimuth to 10 degrees in EXP, and then changing to DBS1 and 2, the scan is not anywhere near as fast as shown in the video.

      there's precious few real world examples, and from all that I can gather, the bulk of these wars, maybe desert storm / shield and so forth, revolved around Air vs SAM... That said, if you can find one example of a pilot interview somewhere describing using his radar to find/locate actual ground targets (vs backup on waypoints like rivers/cities etc) I'd love to hear it

    Le HTS cannot be carried with the Lightning.
    - Le TGP cannot be "slave" sur le HAD (inverse cannot too).
    - Le HAD cannot give a position so sharpre (not even in PT mode, which need some pods in networks doing specifics geometricals maneuvers and synchronise goniometrical)
    - Le HTS dont know how to inform the state of the transmitter.
    - symbologies are wrong (really it's not that at all)
    - the link with the wing don't work like that but it's nice to try to implement it. Only CG can use this function.
    Source :F16 engineer who work on the system for lots of year. Check the "other" game.
    It's great that the f16 is implement in DCS but it's very very well known plane system which is devellopped for year in *censoredmyself*. So people will compare. Hope the final release will be as good, and even better than the *biiip* version.
