Would be better that the measurement unit was based on players settings altogether imo

Seems to, at least in test drive its tracking as if you have them locked.
Doesn’t for me either, but if I’m not mistaken it originally did when the f14b got it but got removed for the reason that some found it annoying to use when trying to guide CAS and A2A at the same time. Can’t remember the exact words.

Why did my pilot model bug report got refused with lame excuse?
Gaijin gave Typhoons to its unique pilot model but somehow Rafale cant get it? Is it so hard to model it and make French Community happy?

That’s a big with looking around. When you look away from your cursor, it allows you to turn your aircraft with the cursor moving as well (instead of staying fix until you move your mouse). It also deactivate HMD/place the marker back to the cursor.
This is a weird bug that has been present since the introduction of HMS
Edit : if you talked about the OSF camera not slaving to radar, that’s normal. They deactivated since f14 for aircrafts with air-air modes because it was very inconvenient. Only some specialized attack aircrafts with poor air modes have this feature (Su25, Mirage 2000 D…)
Nice, can you drop a short vid (don’t have to, really)?
Also, check if moving the scan zone so that one of the targets is outside of the scan zone (but still within radar limits) stops updating/tracking the target (you can tell it is the case when a target disappears after 4 seconds of being outside of the scan zone).
I don’t think it will work, as IIRC V004 also does not have this ability yet, but it’s worth a try.

Totally agree
It seems to lose lock of targets that leave the scan zone exactly after 4 seconds like you said (could’ve been 5 but I may have counted a little fast)

Yeah, then it just does not update targets outside of the scan zone. The threshold for keeping not updated targets seems to be 4 seconds on the RBE2, so it just clear the dot after that.
Wonder if keeping the target outside the scan zone for a second or two and then bring it back will have the radar update it again.
Jokes on you we have primary prove for it as well as pictures and thats how we got it added. And that is is chosen by every nation and lying on reserve
I agree 100%, but I think MFD’s controls would require some more development we don’t have currently. So the fastest solution is to setup a fixed convenient scale OR having the scale automatically adjusting based on player’s altitude
Edit : sorry, you meant for the ft/m unit. Got it. Yes I agree also, actually I just want to have the radar tilt MFD usable in SIM.
Friend of mine just test drove his Rafale and as a not so knowledgable person when it comes to air, I fail to see what makes the aesa radar on the Rafale special in game compared to other normal radars?
It’s not special in game. It’s even very bad. It’s because we are not actually live. It’s basically the second dev server. The update was rushed so much they left stupid bugs. The Rafale’s radar is one of them. It should be AESA, meaning it could have multiple scan lines, and be extremely fast at updating scan in general. In game however it’s just a somewhat fast normal mechanical radar (not even faster than some mechanical ones likely the tornado lol)

I am having this issue that my radar sometimes loses radar lock for a split second.
it wouldnt even be noticeable, except if my MICA is spooling, it completely cancels it and I have to press the button again.
am I the only one experiencing this?
also side question: is the Rafale supposed to recieve all aspects RWR or are the top and bottom dead angles expected?

i keep getting the same issue. also, entering cockpit view in replay mode crashes the game. funny bug gaijin
I have multiple articles saying it was successful tested. That in combination with all the images should be enough. Also the source that is currently being used by gaijin is very flawed. It very vage and only says more missiles on the F4. Nothing about new pilons or the exact amount of missiles it can now carry. How do we know they cant bring 10 or 14 missiles with the F4 upgrade?
You can see all the evidence I found in this PDF
Someone elso put a lot of good evidence in this post:

Hello everyone, quick question, I am preparing a suggestion to change the position of the Mica present as standard on the plane, does the one below seem correct to you?
Spoiler
[poll type=regular results=always chartType=bar]- Yes
- No
Context:
Currently the Mica missiles that we obtain on the Rafale when unlocking it are present on hardpoints 2 and 10, these are the wing hardpoints of the Rafale (as shown in the image above).
Problem :
Since the aircraft can only carry air-to-ground weapons on hardpoints 2 and 10 (except for a central Gbu-24), it is therefore impossible to carry both air-to-ground weapons and Mica missiles before having unlocked the modification corresponding to these missiles. Modification of rank 4 by the way.
Stay within a certain logic :
The Rafale is currently the only top tier aircraft that cannot carry both its medium-long range missiles and air-to-ground weapons before having unlocked the modification corresponding to the medium-long range missiles, in fact all the other aircraft have their missiles placed on mounts that do not prevent this dual carriage.
Solution :
I propose two possible solutions
-
Changes to the basic loadout for the Rafale
The simplest solution would be to move the Mica missiles present as standard on the plane to hardpoints 4 and 8 which are provided for this purpose, this would allow players to have their Mica and to be able to embark simultaneously with their air-to-ground weapons as soon as they obtain them. -
The painful solution :
The painful solution would be to modify all the basic armaments of top tier aircraft so that the treatment provided is the same for everyone:
2.1 : The AIM-54s present under the wings of the F-14s would therefore pass under their fuselage to prevent the carrying of bombs and these missiles before having unlocked them
2.2 : The AIM-120s present under the various F-15s would pass under the CFTs in order to prevent the
carrying of smooth bombs for the F-15C and to prevent the carrying of guided weapons on the F-15E
2.3 : The AIM-120s present under the various F-16s would pass from hardpoints 2 and 10 to points 3 and 9 in order to prevent the carrying of AGM-65s and other guided bombs
2.4 :The R-77s of the Mig-29, Su-27 and Su-34 would pass to hardpoints preventing the maximum carrying of air-to-ground weapons
2.5 : The Eurofighter AIM-120s would move to hardpoints 2 and 12 in order to prevent as much as possible the carriage of air-to-ground weapons before having unlocked the modification of the AIM-120s.

They listed the pilot model countries to be added in the 2024 roadmap. France was not on that list, so I suggested that we should add a French Air Force pilot model and it passed. Expect to see them next year.
The problem is (I think) that you are confusing Dassault the DGA and the French army.
It is not because the plane was tested by Dassault and the DGA with 8 missiles that the French army necessarily has 8 missiles under its planes.
Dassault proposed the plane with 14 hardpoints but the French army decided not to keep the additional points for the Mica, something that India did not do for example.
The images and articles that you present in your PDF all concern tests by Dassault and/or the DGA, not by the French army. All those preceding the entry into service of the F3R in the French army are versions presented by Dassault or the DGA.
To quote one of your sources:
“This preliminary work, self-funded by Dassault Aviation are conducted in collaboration with the Direction Générale de l’Armement (the French Defense Procurement Agency) and will eventually lead to a complete clearance of the flight envelope.”
The tests were carried out and validated by Dassault and the DGA but never used by the French army.

sorry to hop in.
ive been reading a bit of the argument.
even if this is the actual setup chosen by the armee de l air, we already know its not beyond Gajin to cheat “a bit” for balance purpose (M2K-5F 8 missiles setup, F16AJ and many more)
