Question about Radar Modes (I need help for like what's some good basic beginner/easy radar controls or Modes for the SU30Mk2)

if your close to the target and cant find it, exemple they are in low alt and the terrain make it hard to spot them.

use Irst search and lock. its scan faster than the radar.
other option that can help is upgrading you pilot awarnese in the Crew point

what do you think is a good key to bind the horizontal and vertical cue?

i use my arrow keys on my keyboard for it

Also how do you make the TWS like radar search box bigger to get a wider area?

how do you like make the TWS search radar box bigger???

Like the area its scanning of its available azimuth/elevation?

Yeah, I think so or like the box that contains the line that goes back and forth showing the radar scanning the air

is it possible to make that part bigger to get a wider area or no?

stick to TWS for most scenarios
for jousts transfer to HMS and sling R-77s at people

No

yeah thats the scan zone with the bars you see moving on your screen and on the radar scope, sadly on the N001 radar its fixed at 50x10 scanning area and cant be changed

it can be changed at most other planes radars example N035 below:

so, like its available on some planes but not all???

yeah thats just how it is, with it being based on IRL capabilities of each individual radar set

Oh, okay gotcha and then just a quick last question for the horizontal and vertical thing. I have it set to the up and down key binds, but it feels like it doesn’t move/switch when I press the button and then for whenever I’m facing these two planes how come one of the planes show up on the TWS but the other one does not?

for some reason on the N001 when trying to move it to left or right it takes a second for it to actually move just hold your left or right arrow down for a second and it should move.

And i should have said for vertical i use the up and down arrow on Radar/tilt control axis instead to move it up and down


Thats most likely because it was not picked up, the N001 radar is kinda bad and suffers from ghost targets, not always picking up on targets since its a fairly poor radar set

Oh, okay so it works just sometimes ghosts one plane but the other it does not??

yeah its just N001 jank, also use TWS HDN instead gives a bit better results with scanning for targets (still not the best but its more usable)

Oh, okay cool I’ll try to see how it goes in Ground RB whenever I do play and if I still struggle maybe its just me 😭😭😔😔

Also thank you for the tips/advice I was literally searching up on YouTube all day for guides for the radar and tips, but they don’t give as much info as you did 🙏🙏

TWS HDN works best early game, mid-late game switch to TWS PD since HDN is more prone to filter people that aren’t heading directly towards you
