Radar effectiveness on FA-18A

Recommended Posts

Seems like the radar in search mode on the FA-18A doesn't pick up objects that well, at least when compared with WOV's F-4 for example. I can have a bandit ~10 mi ahead and the radar doesn't pick up the blip (adjusting search distances), pretty much until he's in visual or I can boresight him.

 

I play with Radar on hard so I'm not expecting super radar, but seems like I should be able to pick them up at least as a blip. Anybody else notice this?

Ummm, :dntknw: I guess I don't. Dang, I'll have to go check that out. Is there one for the F-14 too cuz that radar isn't that good as well. The furthes I've fired a aim54 is 6mi. cuz my radar doesn't pick em up.

You have ICQ or a chat program we can talk on. I have to get you caught up.

Unfortunately, I don't. I have Omnipod at work which is like an instant messanger, but we have a Nazi IT dept that would send the stormtroopers.

 

My email is tmdgm@buckeye-express.com if that would help?

We would need MSN or ICQ to get these files to you as they are large. Unless you get a Gmail account then I could send large files through that.

tmdgm,

 

Can't find that version in the d/l section. Can anyone point me to it, please?

Modern era aircraft -> F/A-18.

 

Would that update package be the F/A-18 BA cockpit?

When I go to the Modern era a/c -> F/A-18 I can see ten files, none of them is the specified model. I did find it at colum5, though :biggrin:

The F/A-18 is at C5's but the new pit is in the Blue Angels that comes with the mega pack from Checksix. Its 300-some MBs for the pack.

 

If you are trying to mail large items send it through www.yousendit.com. You have to sign up to send but not to receive. n You'll get an email telling you were to download.

Welp, have no idea which one to get (shoot, I don't even know what icq or gmail is). Which one do you recommend? Is it too big for the d/l section here? Trying to think if there are any other options.

 

Turtlehawk, follow USAFTML's link, this is the one I am using.

Until I get a Gmail, is there a way to copy the avionics radar abilities from one plane to another? i.e. copy the radar attributes of the F-15 to the F-18, but not change the visual cockpit radar on the F-18. Like an avionics.dat file or something?
