B-Scope

The B-scope presents your cone-shaped radar search into a square-shaped display on the FCR by stretching the bottom out to the corners.

Here you can see three contacts. On the B-Scope, they look like they are to your front and offset significantly, but in real life, they are not as wide as you are led to believe, especially at close ranges.
