Ok, more tests. 4xC130 closing. Different distances. When I lock bandit at > 40nm on TWS and unlock it few times, all contacts > 40nm disappear and contacts closer than 40nm stay on radar scope. Lost contacts appear again just under 40nm on RWS. It doesn't matter which target I lock, it's just on lock number 3 which causes those targets to disappear. Over 40nm is far and you probably shouldn't try to lock that far but still it seems a bit wrong. Could it be that there is a bug which is connected to tws and radar range? Track attached. Comments anyone. Am I after something or am I just hunting ghosts? test4.trk

Made a small practice mission for myself aginst AI and while practising missile evasion and radar use I noticed that when you lose radar lock for whatever reason (gimbal limits, notching, target unlock button, etc) you can lock him again second time but after second lost lock you lose the target for about 1 minute. After when the target is on scope again I can lock and unlock him as many times as I want I've attached 2 tracks so you can see what I'm talking about. First enemy is C130 almost head on, second F14 same headings. Both times I used unlock target HOTAS button. Bandits are higher than me and there is no notching nor ground clutter involved. Radar elevation is fine also. I think it happened both on TWS and STT. Changing radar cone width or number of bars had no effect on outcome. Wasn't sure if this is a bug or if there is something about the radar that I don't understand or what so moderators feel free to move this to right section. I tried to find similar bug reports but couldn't find exactly same problem. I can run more tests tomorrow if needed. test1.trk test2.trk
