how?
- The JAS39 and Mirage 4000 radars have been reconfigured according to updated data. The detection and identification of them by different RWRs is configured.

just saw this and was gonna post it here lol.
very unspecific though, would be nice to know what was actually changed.
Thats how it is on the statcard now
Finally! No longer placeholder radar.
@Morvran is gonna be happy about this.
I took it for a test drive, seems to be both a nerf and buff.
The radar scope is 140° now, not 120° like before, however now it can only look 45° up and down, reduced from 60°.
The range seems to have been increased though, from 75km IIRC to 100km, and it has more TWS modes now, including one covering the entirety of the 140° radar scope,
For the purpose of situational awareness, I would consider it a very small buff, however for BVR combat it’s a nerf for sure with the reduction from 60° to 45° to the vertical scope, longer range though, but not super useful until we get later amraam or meteor.

It would be too difficult for them to get something right
Edit: it should be noticeably better, regardless of limitations in azimuth.
I’m just happy the Gripen has some more identity now, and isn’t just a copy-paste radar from the F16D. We can’t always expect just buffs, I believe @Gunjob did the report/research for this one, I’m a bit surprised by it just having 45° vertical scan, but maybe it’s accurate idk

So long as they have also fixed the phantom radar contact bug that I reported months ago
if you have proof of it being wrong feel free to share and we can cooperate on a bug-report :)
Going to take it for a spin in sim now, the old radar (F16D) is incredible, I love the 50° TWS scan it had so I’m definitely going to miss that radar mode but we’ll see if the other ones feel good.
I’m not sure on the vertical scan limits, but the actually detection/processing power of the radar should be massively improved.
Proof the blue vixen is better than the AN/APG-66?..
Changes. Horizontal from 120 -60 60 to 140 -70 70, vertical from 120 -60 60 to 90 -45 45(will be changed back soon). Acm from 6x7 to 6x6, other modes 10x50 20 degree offset up and 10x30. HMD from 3x5 to 4x4. Harder to notch. When you fly behind someone even with 0 m/s relatvie speed it will keep PD. Changes in scope scales. Base one from 60x13 to 60x11 for all. No idea about the rest as i do not have them, currently they are 20x6 and 140x6 (beam changed from oval to circular). Ranges are 19 37 74 148km.

The new PS-05A is modelled off the Blue Vixen as per my report.
I’ve raised the 45+/- degree limit for tracking, should be 60+/-, scan limit is 45+/-. Simple mistake to make.
The elevation limits will be corrected in the next small update.

Cool! Thank you :)

Where does it say it?
Its just the search area;
the “size of the box” not how high the radar can elevate.
so the 45 will be changed to 60 in SRC, right?
Yes in the next micro update, won’t have to wait that long.
