elevation on RWR for planes that should have it (RWR, MAW, LWR)
HMD being visible even when looking in front (maybe turning off HUD ?) in first person
HMD being visible in third person - even if it’s a standard UI for all aircrafts depending on their HMD capabilities, this is good.
This would already go a long way to improve and capitalize on aircraft strengths. This would also add emphasis on ergonomics of planes and improve QoL on planes that don’t necessarily have the best main performances (ie, the A10C for example)
I almost said that’s why I specified it should be an option, but I apparently didn’t. whoops.
Yeah, it should be an option. In sim sure it can be more helpful sometimes (although i’d personally still prefer all my contacts stabilised to the horizon instead of the airframe).
How would elevation look like on a 2d digital rwr screen? At least for rwrs like spo 15, it’s easy to see how the elevation detection works, but for digital rwr? how would that work?
Another way to give elevation information, alright I don’t think it’s a thing IRL, but is pretty understandable, is taking inspiration from space games, like Elite dangerous
Spoiler
In this case, there’s a bunch of targets below the vehicle
Alternatively data could be fed to the HMD, for better awareness
Update: looks like they’ve removed it ENTIRELY which means we’re back to the days where the radar auto-swaps to IRST and bars you from launching AMRAAM. I just spent 15 seconds straight trying to launch in a look-down scenario.
