The plan position indicator radar display Some radars are fitted with Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) systems, these radars will display friendly radar targets with a horizontal line above them. The radar target which is selected will appear with a vertical line either side of it and the radar target which is locked on to will appear with a box around it. A basic radar target will appear as a bar on the radar display and a triangle on the compass.

There are several different types of radar target which can appear on the radar display and compass. If the radar has been deactivated, a separate icon will be displayed instead of the radar display. The number of bars illuminated indicates how severe surface clutter is (one bar means minor interference, four bars means major interference) if the aircraft has two radars activated then each one will have its own surface clutter indicator.

If the radar is experiencing surface clutter interference then an icon (visible in the image to the right) will be present next to the power indicator, consisting of two arrows and a series of bars. One or two radar scopes will be present in the right hand portion of the screen they are discussed in detail later in the article. Targets detected by the radar will also have their bearing displayed on the compass as a triangle.

Target tracking radars are more advanced they allow the player to "lock-on" to a target. Target detection radars will detect aircraft (both friendly and hostile) and display them as a "blip" on the radar display, it will also place a triangle on the compass showing what direction the detected aircraft is in. There are two main types of airborne radar in the game, target detection (search) radars and target tracking radars.
Airborne radars are found on aircraft at both low and high ranks, if an aircraft is equipped with radar then a radar display will be present in the right portion of a player's screen, as well as a compass displaying the player's current heading and the directions to detected targets at the top of the screen.
