[F4RADAR] Lightweight standalone radar application
-
Hello Tumbler,
With the recent update of BMS 4.35 U2, my F4radar can no longer run. It shows an error message “can only run based on BMS4.35.0”
I wonder if there’s any solution for this so that i can continue to run human GCI.
Thanks!Kind regards

As the BMS.exe has been heavily changed with U2 it nearly twice the size than before and F4Radar digs into the running exe process he might need some time the get it updated again

A new version to support 4.35.2. I wasn’t able to spend much time on this program, but please let me know your suggestions or improvement. I still foresee to keep updating this program.
version 0.32 changes (29.06.2021)
- Updated for BMS 4.35.2

Hello,
Does anyone know how to display SAM’s PPT threat circle in the F4radar?
I have had the PPT circle under the View setting checked but still can not get the threat ring which i saved in the DTC.
Any advice sharing would be appreciated.Kind regards

Have you tried loading into and aircraft and loading the DTC? On one occaision recently I needed to restart F4radar quickly to get the PPTs to show up after I loaded into 3D.

For now that only works in 3D and not yet in 2D-mode. Also the jet needs to be hot.

They don’t call him Eagle-Eye for nothing - Sharp as a razor… :amen:

Hi, thanks a lot for creating and sharing this amazing application!
I’m just a bit confused of the meaning of the value after the flight level for an aircraft.
It seems to have something to do with speed, but doesn’t correspond to knots nor mach number.
I’d appreciate some explanation whenever you have time! -

I’d appreciate some explanation whenever you have time!It’s the ground speed (GS) in tens of knots.
So 58 = 580kts GS

A small update with some internal fixes. Do let me know if you have issues or have ideas for improvements.
@DUSTOFF17, thanks for the clear explanation.

Hi ,
was somewhere explained how to add Balkans Airbases to F4Radar ? -

@b.s.:
This already awesome program needed a world vector shoreline map underlay…
So I made one…
I am late to the party but does anyone have this vector shoreline map? This post only has the thumbs

Understood that, but where can i get the needed data for Balkans ?
Is there a file somewhere in the Theater folder which provides this data ? -

Is there a file somewhere in the Theater folder which provides this data ?You gather the data by using MC and Editor
Showing it with Korea and the given geometry example file.Open te_new.tac with mission commander and select the Airbase in the Objectives tab by double clicking ths will give you the first to values of the Airbase x and y coordinates in the theater.
From there oben the airbase in Editor. every Runway has a RnwyDimList type with 4 RunwayDimPt which give you the 4 corner x and y values
Technically it would be possible to grap all those values without the tools directly from the theaters DB .xml and even create a tool to generate to create all AB entries for a given theater but that would go way over a short explanaition

Hi all,
I have been following this tool for a while now, but only just got to the point where I will be actively using it. I have had to relocate for work purposes and have left my HOTAS etc behind and just have my laptop.
I have tested this app out twice now with a friend and have some questions about how to use it.
1: Map overlay. The OP has a broken link to a map in the v0.2 section, and I have seen other posts in this thread referring to a KTO map, but I have not yet found the map. Can someone share, perhaps provide a resilient link (torrent for example) in the OP? I am happy to collect the maps (for any and all theatres) and create the torrent myself.
2: Radio transmit. I have followed the instructions for IVC setup, but that only seems to be part of the challenge. Please correct me if I am wrong here, but I have BMS open in a window (whether 2D or 3D) with the F4RADAR window next to it. If I make the F4RADAR window active, then when I press F1/F2 it is not being recognised by BMS/IVC, I have to make the BMS window active to transmit. This is very clunky and I am sure I must be doing it wrong.
3: Radio frequencies. How do I set/change the frequency that I am transmitting over? I see the list of frequencies in the F4RADAR interface. As GCI do I change my transmit frequency only in 3D (ie: set my Comm1 frequency/preset to the same as the package I am communicating with in the ICP?). Do the flying pilots still set their Comm1 to preset 6 or …?
4: Is there any difference in operation of F4RADAR in 2D vs 3D? I already know that in 3D my aircraft needs to be parked on ramp.
Many thanks in advance for any answers to the above, and if there are any other undocumented tips or advice, then please share.

Parked, on ramp, radio to Ground: “request taxi”, radio to Ground “request taxi back”, alt tab and start F4radar.
