I just find it so odd that within TWS you can't just cycle between MFD contacts like you would in AG mode in Flanker. That was just a weird-ass design choice by the Russians. Oh well, as long as an AWACs is up I'm fairly content with it...though it would have been nice to be able to cycle forward and back instead of just forward.
Any ideas on my anti aliasing issue? The darn thing switches off after every mission. So strange.
How do you use it for bvr in Jane's. Been awhile, but I thought the auto modes there were max of 10nm or so ?
No doubt; the original Soviet avionics were not pilot friendly.
No idea about your aa issue, sorry, that's a strange one.
