LcSummers Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 Hi all, have a question regarding the radar. When i activate the radar on the M 2000 i do not get any sweep indicator. Do i have to warm up the radar? On tutorials i see the sweep indicator in the em mode. Thanks for any help.:thumbup:
Nealius Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 Can you post a screenshot of your radar screen?
Azrayen Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 Or a link to the tutorials you mentionned? Early or FS-based tutorial had the sweep indicator wrong. First DCS beta release got it right.
LcSummers Posted January 9, 2016 Author Posted January 9, 2016 Hi, first thanks alot for your kind help:thumbup: Here are two vids with the radar sweep indicator at the top of the display. It sweeps from right to left and left to right 1, [ame] [/ame] It beginns at 3:08 2, [ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LutwtbH9pOs[/ame] It beginns at 2:04 S!
Azrayen Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 OK this is correct (and it works like this here).
LcSummers Posted January 9, 2016 Author Posted January 9, 2016 Hi Azrayen, can you please be more correct. I do not understand what you mean. Correct, that for me it is not showing the sweep indicator or... How do i activate the radar sweep indicator? Thanks mate!
tsumikae Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 Hi LcSummers, just to be sure, is your radar power switch actually on? It should be on "EM" position. Page 87 of the manual, for reference :)

spiddx Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 (edited) Oh yes, you have to be in the air. Radar is off on the ground because it's hazardous to the ground crew. There is an override switch somewhere but I'm not sure it's implemented. Edit: hm, radar is in fact not off as I can see contacts while sitting on the ground. Just the sweep indicator isn't showing until I'm airborne. There might be a small bug hidden in there somewhere.

LcSummers Posted January 9, 2016 Author Posted January 9, 2016 Thanx Spidd, thats it. In the air the sweeper is moving, on the ground not. Dont know if thats correct or not. S!
NeilWillis Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 As the radar shouldn't operate on the ground, I suggest the bug is that it still tracks targets, and the sweeper animation should be missing, so no bug there.
spiddx Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 Yep. You can lock and everything. I attached a simple test mission. Just switch on radar (20mi range).Ground radar test.miz Specs: i9 10900K @ 5.1 GHz, EVGA GTX 1080Ti, MSI Z490 MEG Godlike, 32GB DDR4 @ 3600, Win 10, Samsung S34E790C, Vive, TIR5, 10cm extended Warthog on WarBRD, Crosswinds
nomdeplume Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 Yeah, ground safety is missing from everything at the moment (landing gear, weapons release, countermeasures release, ...), so it's interesting and quite odd that it doesn't show the radar sweep on the ground!
