Radar simulation

[+Dante-JT]

Reposting here (easier to spot) that we're working hard in the simulation of the features of the Blue Fox radar of the Sea Harrier FRS.1. Starting with a B Sweep air-to-air scan mode, It already feature a manually controlled cursor for target lock. Needs to lock a target and change its symbology; also will have horizon bank line and some flight info superimposed; probably the range vs bearing grid is refreshed by the sweep and parts under the sweep are brighter and away from it are faded, we will do all these details so it'll have authentic look and feel:

Will the Radar have "Click-pit" ability, or will it be like USAF that allowed you to simply

hit "Z" then goto the RADAR screen that allowed for cursor functionality? Or Both?

The real Sea Harrier FRS.1 has a small stick in the left hand console that controls the radar cursor in this AA scan mode, we're using numblock keypad keys for this functionality, as a hat 8-way button in a HOTAS setup will also be selectable for this use; "click-pit" ability is possible but we'll start thinking about its implementation when we're pretty sure of what all buttons will do and where in the FRS.1 cockpit, it's of course an enormous extra workload in developing the cockpits and add risks of unknown bugs so we can't promise it for sure now.
