Any way to simulate different radars, scan rates, phased array types, etc?

I just realized - I started to test this with modified ARH (as described before - ARH radar moded as proximity fuze seeker)…i think it worked with manual TWS target designation…but it is some time, I worked on many projects since then…so…the brain is washed…?
Then I made it simple (just 6-1 tweak), so perhaps now it works only in TMS-right mode.EDIT: I tried it now - it still works even with manual target designation, not only with TMS-right
Perhaps your target just had lucky chaffs or ECM…
BUT even with one missile…there is much diference between this and Falcon4 STT
Falcon4 STT SARH missile is going balistic very, very easy…this TWS launched SARH missile is possible to restore its course…it is vulnerable to chaff, but not useless (this was my original intention) -
I will do the test against ECM and dispenserless AC.

Good luck.
BTW Even with soft lock, AI aircrafts start to dropp chaffs and do evasive maneuvers.
I noted possible RWR problem/feature in previous posts - but I did test it offline only. I am not sure if SARH in TWS does not triger launch warning…it was just my guess…perhaps it does -

Using TWS or RWS mode? This would mean superhuman AI because soft lock is not a physical lock.

TWS.
They know, they are locked in TWS.
And they know TWS SARH is approaching - perhaps even because of visual senzor. But they do maneuver everytime I think… -
I think the trick is
- in Falcon4 STT if the lock is broken for milisecond or the radar (or missile) is confused by chaff or ECM, missile goes balistic without any chance to recover
- in TWS-SARH - the AC radar can be confused by chaff or ECM, but perhaps due to the radar history, it is able to relock and send command to missile

I think that Sarah missiles are too easy to trash, like There is no track memory etc…
Maybe 4.33 will bring some updates to this, least i hope.

This is sorta due to F4’s way it handles things… IRL a radar could not notice if there was an interruption in its track for 0.0001 seconds, and guidance could not make a correction on such a short basis anyway.
If you lose lock in F4 for that period of time though, thats it - missile trashed.
If the missile loses sight of the target, it should stop guiding on it. If it is SARH, then it doesnt know where to look, if it loses track. If track is lost for 0.05 seconds, would it still be looking close enough to the original position to reacquire it?
I dont know. A lot of missile guidance related stuff is closely controlled… but maybe some of this stuff is available for older missiles.

Guys…I am still waiting for some educated advices, howto tweak Foxhound radar to better match its realworld PESA performance.
There are MiG-31 radar data:
-
there are some parameters for modernized MiG-31BM radar on this Ru website (the part about supercruise is interesting as well the note about 10 simul. targets)
http://www.ruaviation.com/news/2015/4/13/3068/For example, the upgraded fighters are receiving the new Zaslon-M weapons control and radar system, developed by KRET’s V. Tikhomirov Scientific Research Institute of Instrument Design (NIIP).
While this aircraft was formerly classified only as a long-range interceptor, the modernized MiG can now destroy both air and ground targets. By modernizing its avionics, the efficiency of the MiG-31BM is 2.6 times greater than the MiG-31.
Zaslon-M differs from the original Zaslon radar by its extended antenna, up to 1.4 m in diameter. The detection range of aerial targets has increased to 320 km, and the firing range to 280 km. The onboard radar system of the MiG-31BM can simultaneously track up to ten air targets.
……
The MiG-31 can break the sound barrier while flying level or ascending, whereas the majority of supersonic aircraft break the speed of sound in a shallow dive. Moreover, the MiG-31 can go supersonic at medium and high altitudes without turning on afterburners.
