The GMTI makes me immensely happy. picking apart the test drive BMPs from 30km out while they’re 10m apart.
Man we even get an extra stby PD haha, nah probably a mistake. Of little consequence though.

You should also all try out PIRATE as well (sorry Germany bro’s). Take it into RWS (search) and try locking targets now. It actually manages to correctly place the locking area so target locking is crazy fast.

I’ll give it a go in a bit. Busy rolling my jet in circles and watching in awe of the electronic stabilisation lol.

It is kinda magical, helps so much with holding tracks during maneuvers.

I’m going to have to un-learn limiting my roll angles in defensive flying.
Yep, you can really throw it around now.
Ye, hopefully next thing is that they finally adjust the last skin of the German EF and release it finally :(
Want my Golden Cone :(
(Who needs Pirate when you can have an golden Nose cone) :))))
Out of curiosity, is the TGP supposed to slew to the current GMTI TWS track? It’s a phenomenal sensor and I’m loving the ability to doxx ground targets down to like 2m accuracy but I’d love it more if I could ripple off paveways while im at it.

I’ll have to chase it up, might have gotten lost in all the other changes. Lets just enjoy the improvements we’ve gotten for the moment ahah.

Is it correct no NCTR for ground targets?
Would be realy funny xD
“2A7 on A”
“bro what you’re 60km out”

We don’t have any A2G NCTR right now to my knowledge. I don’t think you could do that with GMTI, youd more likely need to use SAR and then have the image processed on return. If I recall thats how most AESA radars are doing their ground target ID.
Does this mean the PIRATE camera can slave to the radar lock then like TISEO and Plantan?
Sad :(
No not right now, there is a report in for that.
Previously if you tried to lock PIRATE in search mode, it would misplace the locking box and you’d have to drag the nose (and as such the locking box) over your target. A target you might not even have visually spotted yet. Making it pretty hard to use in search. Well no longer.

Damn that’s a shame, but a good improvement anyway.
At the same time do you know if there’s been any advances for adding the PIRATE MFD display? Or fixing the gunsight on the HUD? Been some of my biggest wants for flying in Sim and VR.
All logged reports for sure, but the focus of this update was to make the EFT sensors more dependable, less so about adding some of the secondary missing pieces.
I’ll chase up any extras once the dust has settled but for now enjoy CAPTOR-M and PIRATE functioning.
