That's not exactly "missing". It's not provided on purpose. The Nasal tanker is a radar *target*. It gives enough hints for radar implementations (be it the (wx)radar instrument or the f-14b's radar): lat/lon/altitude/ktas/true-heading/bearing/elevation/range. But the tanker cannot decide whether it is in some radar's range, nor where it should appear on a radar screen. This depends entirely on the radar and is the radar's job, not the tanker's. How would the tanker decide whether it is "in range"? In which range? The built-in AI radar is obsolete and should be phased out. m. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Apps built with the Adobe(R) Flex(R) framework and Flex Builder(TM) are powering Web 2.0 with engaging, cross-platform capabilities.
