So lets try to clarify the V-880 5V28 missiles GSN mode settings.

(from right to left)

DO STARTA (acquire target with the GSN before launch)
POISK V VKL (track target in speed and direction angles)
This is the normal (optimal) mode of the GSN.
The RPC should receive 25dB target signal BEFORE launch.

POISK V VIKL (track target only in direction angles)
This mode is used against noise jamming targets, where the reflected Doppler signal cannot be velocity tracked by the GSN.
The RPC should receive 25dB target signal BEFORE launch.

B POLETE (acquire target with the GSN during flight)
This mode has a special usage. Several sites are surrounded by tall forests.

While the RPC on the elevated platform can track a low altitude incoming target, the missile on the ground cannot lock on it, due the surrounding forest.
So this mode is used against low altitude, incoming targets with 25dB RPC received signal strenght, when the GSN cannot achieve lock due surrounding obstacles.

B POLETE Vcr=<0
This mode is used against incoming targets with lower than 100m/s speed, or receding targets.
You need to have 34dB received signal strength this case.



Non of these modes are designed to extend the missile range.

Great video!

If I've ever would do a KUB simulator, than I would certainly include a picture from this practice...

The Neva is using two coordinate systems.

Epsilon/Beta (elevation/azimuth) is used during target acquisition.

During this mode, both indicators are showing Epsilon/Distance.

During target tracking, Neva switches into F1/F2 angles, that are 45 degree rotated from vertical.

During this mode, the left indicator shows F1/Distance[3km], while the right one F2/Distance[40/80km].

This is why the missile should fly like )( on the two indicators.

You can also observe, why the illuminated part of the display has offset.

hummmm i think develop sa-6A for sam simulator can be a big gift for Christmas from mr.hpasp to sam simulator users


of course i hope

"V POLETE" - Due to wider receiving zone of GSN antena, when RPN is tracking low epsilon angle targets (<2-3 degrees), the GSN antena was under heavy dependance of the ground clutters. Also "V POLETE" could be used only in MHI transmition mode, but this is not very appropriate against low targets and group targets (need FKM mode).

Mr. Hpasp,
Firstly, sorry for not being able to give you the translation I had promised, especially because I have offered myself to do it and haven't given you feedbacks so far. It's halfway and I believe I can finish it this month's vacation.

But I'm having a problem with your software's latest version. Even with the DEM off I have a huge frame-drop when I go to the Z-screen, both on the SA-2F and SA-2E (I haven't tried any of the others so far). I didn't had a similar problem with any of the previous versions of your sim.

Any ideas about what could be the problem? Thank you

hahaha, hpasp you are a bad guy with such teasers! Anyway I have a small request for future versions. Some screens, specially 11 and 13'' used in ultrabooks, don't fit your resolution requirements (they round normally 1366x768). It would be nice if you adopt some sort of scroll or a resizable window for resolutions below 1280x1024. Your program can run perfectly in those laptops and it's a pity I can't scare the guy sat next to me in the plane shooting down Tu-154s with SA-5s

Regards!

Please do not misunderstand it. Currently I'm not working on KUB simulator.
I'm implementing OAF scenarios with B-2, F-15C, F-16CJ, F-16CG.
Also I will rework the Vega missile GSN signal receiver code, and try to troubleshoot the KRUG HARM rain bug.

As REDCOALITION correctly recognized, the manual creation/translation is huge work.
Usually during introduction of a new SAM system 50% of my time goes to coding, and 50% for writing and translating manual. (English/Hungarian)
If I have some free time, than I do some pre-writing of manuals with publicly available information, for several systems.
I done it for ZSU-23-4 Shilka, KUB (SA-6A), S-300PMU (SA-10B), Nike, Patriot.

ZSU-23-4 Shilka




MIM-14 Improved Nike Hercules


MIM-104 Patriot




S-300PMU

holy god

i prefer take A big deep breath for relaxation!

this news is very unormal!

between 2010 and latest 2011 we've got 5 systems! sa-2dvina - sa-2 volhov - sa-3 goa - sa-4 ganef - sa-5 gammon but!

at latest year we have only fixed bug and more senario!

i mean delay between create next system after one passed year! from sa-2dvina is normal time delay?

So... ask for your money back...



(...realise that this is all free...)

...and STFU.
