Many aircrafts can show the altitude boundaries of the current scan volume or selected target on their in-cockpit radar display:
This information is extremely useful in SB, as you can’t see the 3rd person view radar FoV/scan lines:
So it’s quite difficult to know where exactly your radar is pointed at, especially if you are pointing your radar at a different elevation (e.g. you are on the deck trying to scan up high, or you are at high altitude and trying to scan the deck).
Also when you are not level and have some pitch or bank angle, it can be quite difficult to understand where the radar is pointed at …
But reading the numbers from the in-cockpit radar display can be difficult due to the monitor resolution and rendering limitations.
So it would be very helpful to have an option to display them on the overlay radar display as well.
And even in RB, it can still have some usefulness and could also add to the “cool factor”.
Making this into a game option would make sure that people can turn off this information on the overlay radar display if they prefer a simpler less cluttered overlay radar display.
Would you like to see this added for aircrafts that have this capability (and currently show this information on their in-cockpit radar display)?
