With this DEV server, ESA radar can now track targets outside of the actual scan zone.
This in itself is a very nice update, but with this comes a problem.
Previously, targets on the radar scope could be selected by hovering the cursor over them.
However, now that targets outside the scan zone can be tracked, there is a possibility that even if the cursor is overlaid on a target, it cannot be selected because the elevation angle is wrong.
This is due to the radar view from the external viewpoint.
This is due to the fact that the radar display in the external view does not show the altitude information of the target, so the cursor must be overlaid on the target and the elevation angle must be moved up or down to search for the target.
There are three solutions to this problem. One is to adopt the elevation angle display used in some cockpit view radar displays for the third-person view.
This interface is very intuitive and easy to understand.
The second is to add an indication of what altitude the radar is searching for, with the altitude listed under the symbol, just like the actual F16 radar.
Considering the symbol and the numbers on the cursor, the target can be easily supplemented.
The third is to bring back a feature that existed on the DEV server when the F14A was implemented, the ability to display on the screen the target being tracked by the TWS.
If the height of the target can be visually confirmed, the cursor spends less time wandering around.
It would be very pleasant if any of the solutions were implemented.
