Hi guys, I'm from the UK and fly the Su33/27 and am training with an online squad. I've been a big fan of LOMAC for while now and just updated to FC before Christmas. I've found this forum a big help.

For some time I've been searching for info on how to estimate range using the SPO-15s Signal strength circle. A fellow virtual squad member said that that Ironhand had done some stuff but I only saw his tutorials. So after hours surfing and only finding broken links I did a test myself. I set the Su33/27 on a straight an level course on Auto Pilot and allowed all fighters with search radars to intercept. I paused the sim and measured the distances for each one as the signal strength lamps lit anti clockwise round the scale. The table below shows my results. The +7 to +1 is left of the nose symbol indicating the threat is closing. The -7 is the maximum range of the enemy search radar and is furtherest away.



Hope you guys find this useful. If you have a few hours spare check my results.
