BlakTiger47:
Yeah really thanks i never would have even seen there was a radar if u guys hadnt talked about it. this forum has shown me alot of stuff i wouldnt have noticed. i have another question though. what does the RWS button and the button with (^in that picture^) M 1.1 above it mean?
chupaflier:
Help on the button you labeled #3
It is similar to the azimuth control but vertically: in other words, it increases the area scanned by the radar antenna in the vertical direction. It reads 1B because that is the default setting(1 Bar) but you can go up to 6 Bars, which you may have to do if you are tracking a target that is too high or too low from you aircraft's nose.

The RWS it's just an indication of the radar mode (Range While Scan), it's the only mode we simulated so, it's not a button (it it was, it would have been a vertical label in that position), just a static text label.
The M 1.1 on the lower left, it's the Mach you are flying at.
The button labeled with "3" that shows 1B it's the beam vertical pattern selection. It can change, but we don't simulate the effect internally, so it's there just for completeness sake.
