The BRT and CON switches on the MFD mount corners can be used to adjust brightness and contrast. GAIN is only used in FCR GM mode.
page SMS: Clicking on button (OBS) next to a station will select it. Each station has 2 or 3 lines of text, that details pylon mounted, rack/rail mounted on pylon and weapon(s) mounted on the rack or directly on the pylon. J-S will jettison the selected station. Not all payload types can be jettisoned, same for racks. If CAT shows greater than 1, then you should set the flightcontrols to CAT III on left panel and opposite.
page FCR: In CRM, SEA and GM if the display is sensor of interest (SOI) you can move a cursor around to find and lock hostiles. To make a display SOI, use Shift-arrow keys on keyboard. To move the cursor use arrow keys and 'l' or set that in the joystick config dialog. CZ: Cursor zero will reset cursor position. Note: The radar when started up goes through a Built In Test (BIT) for a couple of minutes.
- CRM/SEA: B-scope radar display. Horizontal is relative bearing to targets, vertical is distance. A4: How much azimuth the radar shall cover, A4 is max (120 degs). 8B: How much vertically the radar shall cover, 8B is max (120 degs). A small plus sign when something is lock is the point to aim for if you want to intercept the locked target. At the top are two numbers. Target speed (kt) and closing speed (kt).
- GM: C-scope radar display. Will only show ground targets and terrain. Might be heavy on your framerate. SD/HD terrain detail. HD will scan slower. GAIN switch on the MFD mount can be used to adjust how terrain is color mapped onto the display.
- DEP: Depressed ownship in display.
- CEN: Centered ownship in display.
- CPL: Range will follow (approx) radar distance.
- DCPL: Range can be set independently of radar range by clicking on the up/down arrows.
The Sensor of Interest (SOI) is selected using DMS (Shift + Arrow Key). DMS Forward selects HUD as SOI. DMS Aft selects the left MFD as SOI, and further DMS Aft toggles between left / right MFD. The SOI may then be manipulated with the cursor (only enabled for FCR as of now).
