Right MFD mode 2: TARGET TRACKING

Currently locked air or ground (depending on currently active radar mode) target,
bearing to target in degrees, negative values mean target is to the left from your aircraft nose.
Distance to the target:
Far distances are marked with "M" unit suffix, distances nearer than 1M are ranged 0-256 and displayed without unit suffix.
Identification Friend or Foe (IFF).

they are updated periodically with some delay.
When radar is turned off NO RADAR is displayed.
When no target is locked NO TRGT is displayed.

Right MFD mode 3: ORIENTATION

Plane's spatial orientation - heading, pitch, roll.

Right MFD mode 4: AERODYNAMIC PERFORMANCE

Flight performance information - drag factor (depends on amount of weapons and fuel tanks mounted).
Max G limit factor (depending on amount of weapons and fuel) enforced by FCS.
Since version 1.5.0 second number denotes sustained cumulative g-force.

Onboard radar

Fighter's radar modes can be switched using R key - cycling between:

  • N - Nav (radar off).
  • G - Air to Ground (tracking ground targets).
  • A - Air to Air (tracking air targets).
