Thanks NineLine, we've been dealing with this issue for several years (and the developer has been looking the other way). If you look around here, you'll see several threads related to this issue. Tonight I'll try to record a track with the Supercarrier and Tomcat.

For me, the problem with radar in VR is that the clutter is always displayed in this way and in a static way and with this same image... if you rotate, for example, the image will remain the same.
-
No, in low altitude mode the search antenna is disconnected and will not display an image on the screen but the distance markers will be on (red). Second, the radar mode switch has always been backwards. It's a bug that has never been fixed (switch in position 2 is low altitude mode instead of 1).

Ummm I just test it on 2D (I haven't used it for years) I have found two types of returns... The first screenshot is what I'm used to seeing in VR (circular blobs). The second is what I found in 2D (white block) For both tests, I used the dynamic ground return option. I agree with you, there's definitely something there. Unfortunately, even if RB were there, I highly doubt they'd support us. Edit: Low altitude mode doesn't seem to work in 2d... I need to do some tests agaim
-
For me, it makes sense that below 2500 meters the radar is blind... At least it brings a bit of "realism" to a module that RB never pampered.
-
This is what I was trying to explain before (I only use VR). Below 2,500 meters, you'll have that effect that "simulates" the clutter/noise The noise/return is simulated with that "static" image that you show. Above that altitude, the radar will return to normal operation. This has been around for many moons. Edit: Forget about the messy/returning like in more modern modules where the image is dynamic. The MiG-19's radar was simulated very simply.
-
It works that way even in low altitude mode/mode 1. Remember that the MiG-19's radar was never fully modeled by RB. Clutter can only be eliminated by flying at higher altitudes. Close to the ground, it's blind. If you fly low and place an aircraft 2 or 3 miles in front of you, you'll see how the radar detects it despite the clutter. In terms of simplicity, it works "similarly" to how a primitive radar should.
-
Yes. Only in this map. In my case (tomcat), it's the worst-case scenario. Overall, my experience with the 4080S is much better. But as I said, I still notice that change at 900", although subtle at times, it's still present.
-
I am pleased that you are able to utilize it now. With the 4080S, I can feel/observe the "step" at 900 feet. It is not as pronounced, nor does it cause a significant FPS drop, but the transition remains noticeable, despite the developer's denial. Where I do still notice a very hard jerk is when I try to approach the carrier: for a few seconds the stuttering and jerking is brutal.
-
Thank you YoYo. In mi case, I tested the module without mods ( I don´t have the MIG 25p mod ) and with a DSC repair. Only after an update (Sorry, I don't remember the exact date) did the problem resolve itself.

I don't want to give away any spoilers, but "The Pentagon Paradox..." is about how the end of the Tomcat comes and how the Navy and the Pentagon offices and lobbies rescue the McDonnell Douglas YF17. There are many good books about the F-14 (maybe not as many as on the F4). I personally like to the history, and specifically the First Gulf War (Iran/Iraq), since all my favorite aircraft were involved (F-14, F-4, F-5, Mirage F1, Mig-25, Mig-23, etc.), so I would recommend "Iranian F-14 Tomcat Units in Combat," but there are other books like "Tomcat! The Grumman F-14 Story" or "Grumman F-14 Tomcat." This is part of my library: Tomcat Alley Brown, David F. Tomcat! The Grumman F14 story Gillcrist, Paul T.

Excuse me, just a quick note on my comments: English is not my native language. My question is rhetorical... everyone should make the decision that best suits them, of course.
