Radar Rings

[Kirby_TFS]

The mod seems to work fine with 1.4. Not sure how to read the ranges using the rings, but you do have the PPI radar for that. Does anyone know how to keep the radar on constant sweep? I think it is on constant sweep, but when you click to another screen and return to the radar screen it is not sweeping the screen and you have to click the continuous sweep button again. It would be nice if it kept sweeping until told to shut off.

My experience is that it stops sweeping when you go to view the radar, but when you leave that position it will start sweeping again. I think they modeled it after the sound station, which does the same thing.

Hi Kirby It's like the age old question.... Does a tree make any noise falling if no one is in the forest to hear.

Some example math:

Say you're on 20,000yds scope, a contact is at the fifth ring, and you have eight rings all told. Break out your calculator and punch in "5/8(20,000)", which will arrive at 12,500yds.

Adjust the input information as necessary for whatever the situation.

You have left block with A-scope display for reading range ...
1) you find out targets (sweep mode) on PPI-scope ...
2) switched to focus mode and manually direct radar beam at any target ...
3) read on A-scope distance up to the target ...
