Eurofighter Typhoon (UK versions) - Technical data and discussion

maybe it is, maybe it isnt
there really isnt enough data on the HMD imo

I meant ingame. Itd be incredibly useful to have in the HMD, borderline pointless in the HUD.

The HMD is usually what you’d be tracking an enemy through the rate with. The HUD is what you’d be using in thr final moments before a gun/missile shot, so Id love it if my HMD told me my SEP when I’m playing sim. Having to look down at my HUD to figure out my SEP would be pretty pointless, since at that point I can just check if my speed is rising or dropping…

I’m wondering if that might be what the top right number on this HMD display in the DCS EFT trailer was:

thats the altitude

but imo that HMD in the trailer wasn’t done or fully accurate. Or there’s reject modes like in the hornet…

Ah ty, makes sense now that you point it out.

Do you know the current state of the HMD?
if its done or still WIP?

I do not know that but what i know is that it should be better than the tornado

Mirage is one of the things that you fear in cqc when flying the Gripen those Micas are nasty!

My radar just loves picking a standing still ghosts and just watching them. It’s like they added my german typhoon with PTST and it sees ghosts of B-17’s

So i guess, not to expect anymore buffs to captor right??? Even though its supposed to rival early pesa radars and be significantly better than 80s APG-63v1. But in WT, its just Harrier radar with maybe a bit better detection ranges.

+1 here, i’d like to know if we’re going to get HMD IFF or not

Nah, only the french are allowed to have IFF in their HMD they arent even supposed to have.

yh, i don’t mind them getting the HMD at all it just seems a bit of a piss take that its the only one (other than the a-10) that gets IFF lol

does the eft hud and hmd have a queue symbol for IR missiles? don’t remember seeing one ingame.
If it does is there any status on a report (if there is a report)

No it doesn’t, the cue symbol on the HUD doesnt even move when you move the camera atm. (Not sure if this is accurate or not though)

Im not exactly a fan of gaijins hypocrisy in rule application, but the HMD doesnt bug me a whole lot either. The fact its the literal best HMD in-game and has a feature multiple other HMD’s should have but werent given despite the fact its ahistorical to even have one in the first place is downright obnoxious though

Cheers! Prepare for more.

Probably not.
If that would have been the case, both the Captor-M and Captor-M with Pirate would have had this bug, but they did not. The only radars that had been set to clear targets in 4 seconds were Captor-M with Pirate, RBE2, and V004. Likely, since V004 already had ESA features, they used portions of its code for the RBE2, but also did so on Captor-M with Pirate on accident. Regular Captor-M was set to 8 seconds.
Oh, I didn’t notice it before, but the TWS target limit was also set to 4, again, only for Captor-M with Pirate.

Once more I suspect Dev Shenanigans but who knows ))))))))

Anyway, who here has unlocked the tEaFT or can test drive it. I need someone to run a test with Pirate for me.

Can you guys see if Pirate has the same problem?

Gunna take it out into SIM tonight, so will keep an eye out and see if I get pirate locks at longer ranges
