In addition to PLID, the STEP function is also coming soon to the Hornet SA page. By successive presses of the STEP option at pushbutton 14, you can cycle through the contacts on the SA page. When a contact is selected using STEP, a rectangle is drawn around it, along with its Mach and altitude to either side. Being selected, its data is also displayed in the bottom, right corner of the SA page.

Following STEP, we will add the EXP (expand) option that will allow you to zoom and center the SA page on a contact. This will be useful when several contacts are close together.

The Mirage 2000c Radar under rework... new symbols and targets data elaboration.

Closing speed and target altitude will be included on new symbology.

Hello folks, here are the news regarding the M-2000C updates:

Pending review by our friends at the AdA, here are the changes to the PCA/HUD:

1. PCA and HUD are now independent of each other. So HUD mode does not depend on selected weapon nor master arm position.
2. Master Arm now just enables weapons release/fire. Setting to SAFE or ARM does nothing else.
3. HUD enters into AA mode when: Selecting CAN or MAGIC by using the HOTAS button, or by selecting Super 530D on the PCA.
4. MAG button on the PCA does NOT select Magic. It performs other functions.
5. Selecting an AG weapon will NOT set the HUD to AG ATTACK mode. Only the PCA will enter into AG mode.
6. To set the HUD, actually the entire aircraft systems, into AG ATTACK mode the pilot must click the PIP HOTAS switch forward (it is the same switch that sets the Special Modes when in AA mode).
NOTE: The PCA must be in AG mode for the aircraft enter AG ATTACK mode, otherwise AA Special modes will be invoked.
7. With the HUD/Aircraft in AG ATTACK mode, clicking the PIP HOTAS switch forward again, will return the HUD/aircraft to NAV mode, but PCA will remain in AG mode. (To be confirmed)
8. With the HUD/Aircraft in AG ATTACK mode, clicking the PIP HOTAS switch back, will save the AG weapon selection and release parameters, return the HUD/aircraft to NAV mode, and the PCA will also enter NAV mode. (To be confirmed)
9. CAN and MAGIC can only be selected via HOTAS.
10. When selecting CAN or MAGIC, the radar will become active, even it the power switch is physically in the SIL position.
11. Upon deselecting CAN or MAGIC, by selecting PCA SELECT, the radar will return to SIL if the switch is in the SIL position.
12. Trying to select a weapon on the PCA when the system is in CAN or MAGIC modes is not possible (to be confirmed).

Our goal is to have these changes ready for the next release. They are undergoing testing right now.

Hi guys,
Sorry that we were silent for a long time.
We've completed the MFCD page and launch configuration of AG weapons, including GB-6, LS-6 and BRM1.
Now we are preparing to introduce them to you (Refining all MFCD SMS pages with accurate drawing, previous ones were rough work for feature demonstration purpose).
Please be patient and wait for a few more.
Don't worry, we are steady on our pace.

Ну вот на скорую руку небольшая демонстрация. Взлёт, после первого витка петли я бросил самолёт боту, чтобы спокойно переключиться на внешнюю камеру и показать "хвосты" следа на земле. Ветер в треке дует на север (слева направо) - видно, как перекашивается кольцо следа. Ускорение времени включено примерно во второй половине трека.

Позже мы сделаем это более красиво и наглядно, ролик запланирован, просто пока не сделана такая визуализация, которую мы хотим.

4. MAG button on the PCA does NOT select Magic. It performs other functions.

hmmm "other" aha ... to se nám to rýsuje
Btw MAG button by měl vybrat Magic IIRC

Corrections to the above post:
3. Selecting POL in the PCA will also set the HUD in AA mode.
7. Unconfirmed. Clicking the PIP Forward after the system is in AG ATTACK does nothing.
8. Confirmed. The AG remains selected even if the PCA is in NAV mode.
10. Unconfirmed. Selecting CAN or MAGIC does not change radar status. Selecting SPecial Modes Forward or AFT sets the radar on EMIT if the switch is in SIL.
12. Confirmed.

9. CAN and MAGIC can only be selected via HOTAS.

Final PCA/HUD updates after review by our friends at the AdA:
1. PCA and HUD are now independent of each other. So HUD mode does not depend on selected weapon nor master arm position.
2. Master Arm now just enables weapons release/fire. Setting to SAFE or ARM does nothing else. When the switch is in the ARM position the weapon code will stop blinking in the HUD.
3. HUD automatically enters into AA mode when: Selecting CAN or MAGIC by using the HOTAS button, or by selecting POL or Super 530D on the PCA.
4. MAG button on the PCA does NOT select Magic. It performs other functions: enabling the missile and starting MAV search.
5. Selecting an AG weapon will NOT set the HUD and aircraft systems to AG ATTACK mode. Only the PCA will enter into AG mode.
6. To set the HUD, actually the entire aircraft systems, into AG ATTACK mode the pilot must click the PIP HOTAS switch forward (it is the same switch that sets the Special Modes when in AA mode).
NOTE: An AG weapon must be selected for the aircraft to enter AG ATTACK mode, otherwise AA Special modes will be invoked.
7. With the HUD/Aircraft in AG ATTACK mode, clicking the PIP HOTAS switch back, will save the AG weapon selection and release parameters, return the HUD/aircraft to NAV mode. The PCA will also enter NAV mode. The AG weapon remains selected.
8. CAN and MAGIC can only be selected via HOTAS.
9. Trying to select a weapon on the PCA when the system is in CAN or MAGIC modes is not possible.
10. Selecting AA Special modes will activate the radar, even if the switch is in the SIL position.

Note: Selecting an AA weapon (CAN, MAGIC or S530D) will not change the radar status.

Moc pěkný, za to jim klidně zaplatím, pokud to bude opravdu povedené.

Vypadá to moc pěkně. Ale kde je místo pro indikátor DIRCM, nebo to budou vydány dvě verze kokpitu?

Ka-50 Black Shark Update
As mentioned in an earlier newsletter, we are providing a fantastic, free graphical update to the Ka-50 Black Shark. This entails an entirely new cockpit and external model, textures, and the latest graphics technology like deferred shading and physical based rendering. When complete, it will be a radical improvement over the existing model.
The cockpit 3D model is nearly complete and it’s now awaiting texturing.

We will also be providing an upgrade option that adds several new systems to the Black Shark, we will go into those at a later date.

Hello folks, more M-2000C updates:

1. AA Special modes: Now they can be activated when in NAV or AA. It does not matter if a weapon is selected or not. But be aware that using the AA Special modes in NAV makes interception very difficult since the HUD does not provide any information at all.

2. POL mode: Activating this mode sets the HUD and PCA to AA mode. You can also use the AA Special modes with POL. Remember that no weapons are available while POL is active.

By request of the AdA, the M-2000C now has NVG.
