Realistic FCR Options
You have more control over the radar if REALISTIC FOR OPERATION is active in the
OPTIONS MENU under Gameplay/Realism/Custom . This controls how the FCR oper-
ates and changes the appearance of the TSD MFD (as well as the Radar MFD).
Numpad e Turn radar on/off (or, in TADS mode, turns laser on and off)
REALISTIC FCR SYMBOLS This option replaces normal symbology on the Radar and TSD MFDs with new
symbols that indicate whether targets are visible/not visible and moving/
stationary.
REALISTIC FCR RANGE The second option switches the available FCR ranges from 2.5/5/10/25/50km
to .5/1/2/4/8km. With this option active, you press
Z and X (or Numpad
+ and - ) to cycle forward and backward through the ranges (instead of
y ).
REALISTIC FCR OPERATION The third option gives you manual control of the FCR scan by letting you change
the size and direction of the radar scan. Since your radar can reveal your presence
to some enemies, adjusting your FCR scan can help you avoid detection.
Realistic FCR Symbols
New symbols show on the Radar/TSD MFDs if REALISTIC FCR SYMBOLS is active.
