[. . . ] EPILEPSY WARNING Please read before using this video game system or allowing your children to use it. Some people are susceptible to epileptic seizures or loss of consciousness when exposed to certain flashing lights or light patterns in everyday life. Such people may have a seizure while watching certain television images or playing certain video games. This may happen even if the person has no medical history of epilepsy or has never had any epileptic seizures. [. . . ] Infra-Red decoys Flares are pyrotechnical packages that emit intense heat designed to confuse Infra-Red missiles. HMD with SLSactive The SLS can be activated by setting the HMD in SLS mode (by pressing S) when in the vicinity of an airport. A landing path is then projected in 3D onto the HMD. The SLS is completely passive; it relies only on predetermined coordinates that have been gathered from satellite data in advance. This means that an airport may be controlled by the enemy, even if SLS data is available. When an airport has not been verified as safe, the SLS path is displayed in red, rather than the normal green. Altimeter Up to altitudes of 5, 000ft above the ground, the altimeter displays radar altitude. Basically it uses a small radar to calculate your real altitude above the ground. The altimeter automatically switches to barometric altitude when the altitude above ground exceeds 5, 000ft. Barometric altitude means the aircraft's altitude above sea level. The altimeter is located on the HMD. 64 Plane releasing flares Radar Warning Receiver (RWR) The Radar Warning Receiver (RWR) detects signals from enemy and friendly radar's. Its reading is displayed on the sensor radar (Offensive MFD). The receiver in the JFS aircraft compares the signals it receives with a database of known signals, and decides if the emitter is an aircraft, missile or ground unit. Infra-Red Warning Receiver (IRWR) The Infra-Red Warning Receiver (IRWR) works similarly to the RWR but it detects IR emitting sources instead of radar emitting sources. The core of the IRWR is an Advanced Distributed Aperture System (ADAS). This system consists of multiple sensors under the skin of the JSF, designed to detect short range ground-to-air missiles, longrange A2A targets and long range A2G missiles. Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) The radar depends on the IFF system to determine if an aircraft is enemy, friendly or neutral. The system has two phases; first the IFF interrogator unit sends a radio message containing a coded enquiry that essentially requests friendly planes to identify themselves. Equipment carried by the friendly plane, called IFF transponders, automatically responds to this request with a coded message, which in turn is picked up by your plane and fed into your onboard computer. A positive reply allows your onboard computer to classify the plane as friendly or civilian. Electronic Counter Measures (ECM) ECM is a wide description, defined as methods to confuse the enemy's usage of the electromagnetic spectrum. In this context ECM is a device that receives enemy radar signals (ECM receiver unit), and then retransmits them with a slight delay (ECM transmitter unit). The result is that the enemy pick up false signals and are unable to track you reliably. [. . . ] RELATIVE WIND Direction of oncoming wind, usually refers to wind forced past an aircraft by its forward motion. ROGER A term meaning yes, opposite of negative, an affirmative acknowledgment. ROLL Aircraft motion around its longitudinal axis, controlled by input to the ailerons. Pronounced "raw"; a network of sensors around the aircraft which alert the pilot when radar emissions are detected. which requires continued guidance from the pilot. [. . . ]
