does flood set targets rwr off?

[@GotSpaceGame]

It does, although apparently this wasn't always implemented in DCS so it used to be a tactic in multiplayer to have Eagles and F18s firing "Stealth" sparrows. Fixed now though.

STT = Single Target Track mode (there is also a Track While Scanning mode) Flood Mode = Air Combat Maneuvering Mode Jester = Weapons Systems Officer, the guy in the back seat Diamond = lock Diamond with a cross around it = TV contrast lock Weapons selector up to the Sparrow position SP for Sparrow and a number (6 Sparrows) is displayed PH for Phoenix missile Target closure rate left scale Target range right scale Did I get the abbreviations right? What's TCS? What's TID repeater? What's ADL? What's VDI?

[@GotSpaceGame]

TCS is the Television Camera Set, and the VDI is the screen that shows either that, or a kinda hud-like graphic. The TID is the Tactical Information Display in the back seat, and the TID repeater is the display that shows what the RIO is seeing on it. It works kinda like the normal radar display in newer jets.

[@GotSpaceGame]

Sorry... I missed ADL = Armament Datum Line... Basically it's the little fixed-position cross near the top of the HUD
