ok i was gonna take a guess and say it was that. so do airframes that lack it just cover the area its supposed to be in with a mockup in the shape of it?
Can they not just assume best possible conditions and extrapolate?
So supersonic, rear aspect, hot engines and high alt, perfect weather?
Should still be better than currently cos frankly, they suck right now?
Oh and can it launch MICA’s in-game also?
No MICA EM launched with IRST sadly

It would be much better than what we currently have (from what I have seen the detection sector is correct, however we only detect targets at about 15 to 17 km maximum).
When I put forward the idea that these values could be applied, as you said, to ideal conditions, I was told that I needed a reliable source
The Mica EM requires a radar lock to be fired, which the IRsT does not provide, on the other hand the Magic announced in the dev blog can be fired with it
I have a second bug report in progress for the OFS so that the thermal camera integrated into the block is linked to the IRST (as it really is) in order to lock on the detected aircraft for visual identification.

I am not aware of a Report atm.
In case of missing budget (as in case of early F.3 era) or airshows etc, the FSO is replaced with a realistic looking mock-up. In case of the C101 and the SP3 pylon test, the FSO was removed entirely. The very early Rafale standard (M LF.1) also lacked FSO entirely, but was refitted to F.1 later.
C101:
M LF.1:

thank you lots for this info, i will do some independent research so i can be more involved in some topics !!!
The bug report for the HUD that I made has been accepted and will normally be fixed.

imma go out on a limb and say that the Tiger’s HUD isnt going to be the final HUD for the Ralph

Considering that the flight path marker problem affects all aircraft in general, do you think they will fix only the Rafale or will it other also?
Does it make sense for me to make a third bug report (in the last year) on this topic?
I hope they fix all the planes, wait until the dev server is updated to see if there are any developments before making a new one

Im assuming the MICA IR can be launched without radar lock, also if the IRST provides datalink then why require datalink.
This would be good, would that functionally be similar to eurofighters PIRATE IRST now or different?
Yes the Mica IR can be fired via the IRST, however the IRST must have locked the target and the lock must be direct for the Mica. The IRST does not give a datalink because it does not allow to give a distance, only a direction
Concerning the capabilities of the OFS they are very similar to those of the Pirate of the Eurofighter
Magic II confirmed;
Besides that MICA NG is a missile (its called “mica_ng” in the CDK for whatever reason) and not even in active service yet;

Is the point of the LRF not ranging?
I don’t think it’s an official website
The LRF would have about 40km of range at most while the IRST has about 100, for short distance shots it could work (due to the lack of sources I will not comment on it because I honestly know nothing about it) and for long distance shots it would just be impossible

I can confirm you that it isn"t
My bad
