Eurofighter Typhoon (UK versions) - Technical data and discussion

[Zer0_Tru7h]

A lot of effort went into modelling the interior engine detail only to have it covered by the generic afterburner texture on reheat.

Would be cool if they could just move the generic texture back slightly behind the 3D detail so we can see the realistic engine model they already made, it would look better.

Out of curiosity, what do we know about the radar/IRST and what is/isn’t correct? PIRATE especially feels far too weak on the search side of things and the target tracking capacity of Captor feels abysmal.

[Morvran]

CAPTOR-M

• Missing critical search modes such as Priority Track (Report) and GMTI/T (ground radar)
• likely underperforming in a few key ways, such scan rate, power, etc, but sources yet to be found to confirm
• Target identification via radar
• A number of bugs to resolve such as ghost contacts.

This is a good over-view of CAPTOR-M :

CAPTOR-M Radar

PIRATE

• Lacks flare Rejection
• Incorrect Range
• Lacks Passive Ranging
• Lacks 200 target TWS
• Cannot Slave and DL for ARH
• Lacks ground target auto-detection
• TGP doesnt slave to IRST lock

Likely more on the way for the PIRATE as well.

Reports still in progress for a number of issues

[Morvran]

Looks pretty good

You can add these four to it if you wish (though, those concern many Radars/IRSTs and not just Captor-M/Pirate)

@Smin1080p_WT Since Radar (and IRST) take priority over other reports, I nominate four reports for you to move them higher up the queue. The reason I am giving them to you is that they have already been sitting in the queue for months, despite them being very impactful bugs affecting a wide range of vehicles that can be fixed with a couple lines of code. I can even show you exactly which lines need to be changed with like 90% confidence (no, I am not joking). I will write down an explanation …

If anyone else has any videos or images of ghost targets then please stick them in the comments. Also include a game log file if possible.

We are so back sim players

[Celestia]

Are there any radars in game which are 2 axis only but electronically stabilised in the roll axis?

It seems like most radars are implemented as machanically stabilised on 3 axis, with hard limits on all axis.

[ILuvAnneHathaway]

Like on the Su-27/33, agree on that, it would look way better.

[ION_GR]

I fully agree i would like to see that too !!

[ION_GR]

and the model behind it is verry good

can some one report this ?

Problem with IR missiles locking on hud eurofighter
I played a match of sim and every time i lock an ir missile it doesnt show where it locked, it doesnt show on the hud.

[ION_GR]

This radar is absolutely one of the worst radars i have ever seen as it is right now

[Mytho-GR1]

What

[MythicPi]

Pretty sure everything he wrote was pretty self explanatory…

[F0x_Hunter]

Soooo our plane AGAIN carries less ARH missiles as anyone on BR?

[ION_GR]

it locks different targets from what i tell it with TWS the scan speed is bad , the soft lock doesn’t work and it feels like its locking on to something that is behind the aircraft because the scan speed is bad the IRST is mid at best at the moment, the radar that is the superior PD radar of all and its still … so

[Mytho-GR1]

Well considering the radar is Blue Vixen with more range and more DL channels i don’t understand what he is on about

[ION_GR]

the radar is much worse than the blue vixen brother

as a player that has played the ADV and FA2 i am just saying this radar is worse than a “javelin”
