Hi guys,
I am new to the DCS as player but I been observing what is happening in DCS for a while.
So, I installed F16C and at the moment I am going through training missions. All of this is clear to me, but when I go to mission editor, I create just target practice mission so I can practice all routines to engage in BVR fight.
This is where I noticed problems, I created firstly 2 MIG 21 and I tried to engage them in BVR. However, my radar couldn't find any targets until I approached at about 15 NM, when is too late to engage 2 MIG's.
So to explore more, I modified mission so I start at 40000 feet, with 2 MIG's dead ahead at 80 NM and 30000 feet, and still my radar couldn't find target in RWS mode, I tried to swap to TWS mode but still nothing, same, when I came closer to about 12 NM I had target found on radar.
Just to be sure I tied another mission where I put bigger target, AN 22 same story.
I tried with AWACS on my side, and I can see target on the radar but I cannot do any thing with it again until I came very close.
This is only doing in mission editor. When I go to instant action, and select free flight, I can scan everything as it should.
Am I doing something wrong here?? I watched many Youtube videos on that subject, and I cannot see that I am doing something wrong.
Cheers...
