Rlaxoxo Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 Guys a quick question about the locking on with the radar Is the radar suppose to lose the contact if the target is locked on and it goes ouside of 30 degree cone angle? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Youtube Reddit
Azrayen Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 @ Meiz: when I wrote "I don't have this exact issue", I meant on 1.5.3. @ Rlaxoxo: not sure what you mean... when you lock a contact, your antenna centers on it (and it sounds logical that it will then follow the contact if you and/or it maneuvers); so I guess the answer is "no".

If you lock a target and you turn right to put your target to the left of you If the target goes over the 30 degree line on the radar the lock is automatically lost [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Youtube Reddit
Azrayen Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 OK this is one of the (current) issues. It's not meant to remain like that. WIP stuff and so on ;)

OldE24 Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 yeah like CCM is about useless right now. and radar is hit and miss...getting better but still wip 8700k@4.7 32GB ram, 1080TI hybrid SC2
Zeus67 Posted April 26, 2016 Author Posted April 26, 2016 If you lock a target and you turn right to put your target to the left of you If the target goes over the 30 degree line on the radar the lock is automatically lost This bug is really hard to replicate. So I will appreciate that when you get it, you save both the mission and the track and send it to us so we can check and see what is happening. Please indicate at what time the bug occurs.

Darkbrotherhood7 Posted April 26, 2016 Posted April 26, 2016 Whats wrong with my radar? Cant lock in MP. I had a Su27 in 15nm it just disappear when I tried to lock him and I never sucess to see something in radar after that all contact disappear. Help!! Same happened with me in 2.0.2 MP! For some reason this only happens at the 2.0.2 version! I'm trying to record and send to Zeus.

OldE24 Posted April 26, 2016 Posted April 26, 2016 (edited) i just had a similar issue in MP...locked and killed a guy, then radar went on vacation untill i changed PRF settings, will see if i can duplicate. Edit. 1.5.3 Edited April 26, 2016 by OldE24 8700k@4.7 32GB ram, 1080TI hybrid SC2

So I will appreciate that when you get it, you save both the mission and the track and send it to us so we can check and see what is happening. Please indicate at what time the bug occurs. Seems to happen for me pretty much every time, so that made it easy for me to reproduce! Here's some screenshots of when I saw it. It seems like it thinks the target is directly ahead at zero range when this occurs; so more like all the contact variables get zeroed out. First screenshot shows the contact just before I designate it again for PIC/STT. You can see it's being tracked normally. Second screenshot is immediately after designating to go to PIC. --- I've also attached a tiny track and mission for the Black Sea map which shows the issue. Air-start with an A-50 ahead. In the track I just lock the contact and bank left until it crosses the 30° azimuth marker and the lock gets locked. Sometimes the contact's data gets zeroed out and then the lock is completely lost immediately after; other times, it stays pegged at the bottom centre of the display for a good few seconds. --- Edit: Added a video of the relevant portions of the track: c2dBIoYfj90 M2000C-radar-lock.mizm2000c-radar-lock.trk Edited April 26, 2016 by nomdeplume

As well as a problem when it comes to elevation (that i think has been reported before) If i elevate my radar (quite a bit) to find a target at a higher altitude i can find the target ok. But as soon as i lock it the radar Centers again (as indicated by the Radar display elevation indicator) And i loose lock almost directly (because the radar centered so it can no longer see the contact) And if i elevate the radar until i see the target again and then lock him the same thing just happens again.

Jugdriver Posted April 26, 2016 Posted April 26, 2016 Yeah I am getting weird stuff with the Radar as well, both with BVR and CCM. It seems that in CCM mode I cant get it to cycle thru the different Radar parameters like it did before, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I am trying to see if a key binding is interfering with it since the last patch, but so far I havent been able to track anything down. I have also seen the same issue nomdeplume is, however if I cycle thru the RIO on the PCA panel it seems to reset the radar, though it is still a major pain since any delay in locking a target is bad news at best...

Kayos Posted April 26, 2016 Posted April 26, 2016 It seems that in CCM mode I cant get it to cycle thru the different Radar parameters like it did before, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Cycling through worked for me last night on the Nevada map just fine. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
OldE24 Posted April 26, 2016 Posted April 26, 2016 Cycling through worked for me last night on the Nevada map just fine. well fly some more it does happen... i'll can verify this happens. 8700k@4.7 32GB ram, 1080TI hybrid SC2

ZHeN Posted April 27, 2016 Posted April 27, 2016 (edited) + for JD can't say I'm happy with radar's current performance (though at least it stopped crashing my game!) I made a mission with Mig-29S against me - he was using a jammer. At some point I was able to burn through and lock on him, successful Fox 1 afterwards. Everything works fine every time I run this mission. But then I've tried one of RAZBAM's default missions (can't remember how it's called) - two Mig-29As (with jammers) against me (plus there are some Su-24Ms & L-39Cs). At some point I see them on my VTB (40nm), but then the screen comes blank! No targets! I tried to maneuver, to change radar elevation, but no luck at all! No targets! Then I tried to switch to CCM - it works from time to time. On first attempt it worked and I could cycle through different CCM modes and even lock to a Mig. But after a couple of mission restarts nothing worked - I couldn't cycle CCM modes AND I couldn't scan for targets in BVR (no marks on VTB). The HUD was just blank with no radar modes indications... :( Is it all because of Mig's jammers?? Edited April 27, 2016 by ZHeN [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
ZHeN Posted April 27, 2016 Posted April 27, 2016 Well, Mig-29As have no jammer. So how could I get a red line on the VTB screen ? (tbh just once in this mission) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Azrayen Posted April 27, 2016 Posted April 27, 2016 No idea. But I've logged (internally) several issue re: jamming display. In my mind it's still WIP. So perhaps best to wait a bit before drawing conclusions ;)
Gliptal Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 Seems like the best thread to ask: does anyone know what the aspect ratio of the HDD/VTB is? I'm exporting on the second monitor and don't know what the correct height/width would be to have an undistorted image. Thanks!
T_A Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 Speaking of VTB, i`m getting alot of aliasing on the green lines , they seem to be very thine, i have MSAA set to X16 at 1920X1200 res , i dont get that with F-15C or SU27 IAF.Tomer My Rig: Core i7 6700K + Corsair Hydro H100i GTX Gigabyte Z170X Gaming 7,G.Skill 32GB DDR4 3000Mhz Gigabyte GTX 980 OC Samsung 840EVO 250GB + 3xCrucial 275GB in RAID 0 (1500 MB/s) Asus MG279Q | TM Warthog + Saitek Combat Pedals + TrackIR 5 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Gliptal Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 You must know the resolution of yours monitors, add the vertical resolution of both and less the horizontal resolution of one of them.I probably badly worded my question. I know how to set up the view on the second screen, I'd just like to know what the relative dimensions of the HDD are. e.g. 4:5.
Azrayen Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 What about making your own measures? I guess with a properly framed screenshot or, even easier, with the VTB viewport feature...
