+GKABS 8,791 Posted November 1, 2020 Pierre and I tried to make the radar antenna go up and down from -10 to 45 degrees, but we couldn't get it to work. I would like your help on how to get it to work if it's possible. [RadarRotation2] SystemType=RADAR PitchModelNodeName=Antenna-Vertical HasArmor=FALSE RadarSearchTime=4.0 RadarTrackTime=5.0 RadarType=SEARCH_AND_TRACK YawLimited=FALSE //DefaultPitchAngle=15 PitchAngleRate=5.0 MinPitch=45.0 MaxPitch=-10.0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+yakarov79 11,106 Posted November 2, 2020 you want that antenna to nod up and down continuously, or just pitch up / down during tracking. The latter is possible by ini and pivot point alignment. The former I wanted to achieve on PRVs but with no success. Will try Crusader method. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
