The current model supports display of AI aircraft objects on the radar screen. See the Aircraft/Instruments/radar.xml file for details, or fly the T-38 for a demo.
The current model uses a 2D cockpit, and supports display of AI aircraft objects on an air-air radar screen. See the Aircraft/Instruments/radar.xml file for details, or fly the T-38 for a demo.  Yes, the T-38 does not actually have radar, but it was chosen here to be the demonstrator aircraft for radar.  It also demonstrates how instruments can be minimized and maximized in 2D panels.

"In the mid-1950s, the USAF required a trainer with higher performance than the T-33 to better prepare student pilots for the latest tactical aircraft that were then coming into service. The aircraft chosen was the T-38A which offered high performance with low maintenance and operating costs. The T-38A became the USAF's first supersonic trainer." Source: NORTHROP T-38A "TALON"

Yes, the T-38 does not actually have radar, but it was chosen here to be the demonstrator aircraft for radar. It also demonstrates how instruments can be minimized and maximized in 2D panels.
