Somnus Posted June 22, 2016 Report Posted June 22, 2016 What do you call this? Ground coordinated radar? I'd love to fly the Mig with one! Lipfert and Klaiber 2 Quote
Britchot Posted June 22, 2016 Report Posted June 22, 2016 I'll have to watch the video later but I believe you're speaking of Ground Control Intercept (GCI), which Klaiber has built into his training map for us. It does quite well to guide you on to airborne targets Quote
Klaiber Posted June 22, 2016 Report Posted June 22, 2016 Nice video! GCI was one of the first things I added to the map, for both the MiG-21 and the MiG-15. It works pretty well, provided it doesn't get overwhelmed with too many targets. Quote
Somnus Posted June 22, 2016 Author Report Posted June 22, 2016 There we go, GCI. I knew it wasn't coordinated radar, but I couldn't think of it. I'll have to download the map soon! I ended up getting the Mirage... that thing flies so nice. I haven't had a chance to learn the weapon systems and all yet, but I've had fun just flying it around. Quote
Britchot Posted June 22, 2016 Report Posted June 22, 2016 Well, you got farther than I did. I had a squirrelly takeoff that should have been aborted but I had enough liquid courage to turn it into a proper fireball. Klaiber 1 Quote
Barton Posted June 23, 2016 Report Posted June 23, 2016 This would be nice to have a person on GCI but I couldn't watch the whole video because I kept wanting to scream at the pilot through my screen. Even with the GCI this guy has marginal SA. Watching him intercept that A-10 was painful. Quote
Somnus Posted June 23, 2016 Author Report Posted June 23, 2016 Yeah, I've noticed the Mirage being a little squirrelly on take off too. Even with nose wheel steering off, it wants to veer and the slightest rudder has a big effect. And yeah, he might not have been the best pilot, but I think having a human GCI like that would be a lot of fun, especially in an aircraft with limited radar like the MiG! Quote
Britchot Posted June 23, 2016 Report Posted June 23, 2016 I watched the video last night and see what you are talking about. A human would be able to filter all the excessive contacts and assign one to the player. Is there an interface that provides a player with a radar scope versus the F-10 menu? However, Klaiber's map has an AI GCI which does pretty well for the small groups. I wouldn't mind rotating through some manned GCI during practices when we have enough pilots. Quote

Britchot Posted June 23, 2016 Report Posted June 23, 2016 Aries Radio... I really want it to work but we've had very little luck with it. Maybe they've updated. Quote
