 :*If threat is right in the middle of the RWR in the tiny circle. Then it is almost at gun range. Better look outside and find him before he's shooting at you with a Fox2 or guns.

 ==Introduction==
 The RWR interface in the cockpit is made through 3 main components :
 :*The Threat Warning Prime panel (TWP) is located right next to the RWR display and manages the information displayed. The TWP is made of 6 square lights all featuring a push button. Each indicator has multiple lights (top and bottom) the bottom light comes on when the system is powered and the top light comes on depending on the status of the relevant system, except for the Missile LAUNCH indicator.
 :*The Threat Warning Aux panel (TWA) is part of the EWS suite. It is made up of 4 indicators (3 with pushbuttons): SEARCH, ACT/PWR, ALTITUDE & POWER.
 :*The RWR displays threat emitters depending on their azimuth relative to your aircraft. It does not though give distance information. The display is made of two concentric circles: inner and outer. The threats are categorized by order of importance; the more lethal threats are placed in the inner circle while the secondary threats are left in the outer. The symbols displayed on the RWR depend on their radar type.
 ''Note :'' Other RWRs may be installed in other F-16s and have some differences

 The following tables are showing the RWR symbols. Airborne symbols are displayed with an inverted V on top of them to differentiate them from the ground emitters.<br />

 When a fox 3 will be active it will be displayed on your RWR using a M symbol (stand for Missile)

 ===HANDOFF===
@@ Line 43: / Line 48: @@
 Using the HANDOFF button controls how each of these modes are entered and controls the function of the diamond symbol on the display.
 :*''Normal :'' In normal, the diamond symbol is inhibited and threat audio is limited to “new guy” (or new threat) alert and missile launch audio. New guy audio is 3 bursts of sound in 1.5 seconds of that emitter. New guy alert is also seen visually by symbols alternating between normal size and 1.5 times normal size for the first 4 seconds of display. Normal mode will yield a fairly quiet RWR.
 :*''Diamond Float :'' Diamond float mode is entered via a short push of the HANDOFF button. In this mode the diamond symbol on the HANDOFF button illuminates and the diamond on the display floats to the highest priority symbol. Sound for that emitter is heard continuously. Another short push of the HANDOFF button will deselect this mode and go back into normal mode. This mode is recommended for maximum SA.
 :*''Transient :'' Transient mode is entered by pressing and holding the HANDOFF button. In this mode the diamond symbol steps from the highest priority symbol to the next highest in descending priority order. The diamond will continue stepping for as long as the HANDOFF button is held and audio is played as the diamond enhances the symbol. Releasing the button changes the mode to latched.
 :*''Latch :'' In latched mode the diamond symbol remains on the last symbol it was on when the HANDOFF button is released. Sound for that emitter is heard continuously. If the symbol times out (emitter no longer detected), the RWR will go back to diamond float mode.
 ===LAUNCH===
 this indicator flashes at 4Hz as soon as the EWS (Electronic Warfare System) detects a radar missile launched at ownship.<br />

 =Quick Tips=
 ==RWR setup==
 :*Be sure your RWR is turned ON (green lines in the middle)
 :*Be sure to use the Handoff Diamond Float mode on your RWR (it will be the default one when you'll spawn in Taxi or TO).<br />In this mode the highest priority threat will be boxed with a diamond.
@@ Line 90: / Line 98: @@
 The locations of radar emitters and detected missile launches on the display '''do not necessarily correlate''' to emitter range from your aircraft.<br />
 The distance of the threat icon from the center of the display indicates radar signal strength. The closer the icon is to the center of the display generally indicates the closer the radar is to you.
 :*If threat is in the outer ring you should be OK and you're not yet in danger.
 :*If threat is in the inner ring then the ennemy is in lethal range to kill you ! At this time you should have it in sight or you'll finish your day in a POW (best case scenario).
