Flashing light and tone indicates one or several aircraft being picked up. | |||
The RWR can be toggled between '''D'''ay (yellow lights) and '''N'''ight (red lights) by pressing on the gauge - but not in the middle, as that is the test button). | The RWR can be toggled between '''D'''ay (yellow lights) and '''N'''ight (red lights) by pressing on the gauge - but not in the middle, as that is the test button). | ||
Depending on the relative position of the other aircraft, more than one light bulb might be on, as the aspect ranges of the sensors overlap each other. If there is more than one aircraft in range, then the blinking of the light bulbs might get infrequent /not constant rhythm, as each aircraft's radar scan passes over the sensors. | Each of the four light bulbs represents one of the four sensors, not the system as a whole.

In the real aircraft the blink rate is based on aircraft, scan pattern, and distance. However, that has not yet been implemented. | <code> | ||
Examples of lit light bulbs: | |||

Means there's one or more aircrafts forward/right of you. The faster the flashes, the closer. Steady is launch. | |||

There are two possibilities: | |||
1) An aircraft directly in front at 12 o'clock position | |||
2) One or more aircrafts forward of you both to the left and to the right | |||
