SAAF JAS-39C Technical Data and Discussion

It’s such a sexy plane!

Well… This clip sums up why im not having that much fun in the Gripen C at the moment. The radar just puts me off. Its a real shame:

you manually select targets with radar wow you love everything sim

I swapped because I was getting annoyed that TWS would perhaps fixate on a target to the extreme left or right and I had no way of getting it to swap to a target it could see outside of its FOV. There are times when I want to just lock it looking in one direction

But having a HOTAS with a free control from my left thumb on my throttle does help too

You mean the target cycling turned off?

yeah that’s what he doing manually scrolling on the radar

Im doing that since i can remember tbh. I was annoyed the radar was jumping not on what i wanted so i switched it and now i cant use cycling. Manual sellection and antenna elevation are now natural for me.

i hate the cycle in close range so i use the bvr mode or hmd depending on the plane

You just need a lot more radar control options (yes we need more)

  • The ability to toggle the radar following the target left and right (so when disabled, even with cyclic target selection, it wouldnt move the radar unless turned on)
  • The ability to toggle on and off relative vertical control
  • The ability to always be able to control the vertical angle of the radar (look down and look up could be sooooo much better)

I would too, but I need the IFF

I also do so in a headons or situation i know it will lock what i want, in all other i do a manula lock

Yep, I want more :P

Then wait for EF, where CAPTOR and PIRATE are independent, so you can use both at the same time

it will need a control remapping session, but I can handle it on my HOTAS :P

Lucky you, they are too expensive for me :(

Yeah, I got lucky and found a good one for a good price on CEX. Birthday present to myself last year.

For me, even stupid T16000M would cost 1/6 of my pay, and over half of my pay takes heating of the house…
