some1 Posted January 28, 2017 Posted January 28, 2017 The manual says to press T1 trigger to lock, but in the game you have to press the second stage trigger (TV). After locking the airplane there doesn't seem to be a way to unlock the radar. Even turning it off or switching modes has no effect.

pewbeef Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 I'm bumping this since I have experinced the same thing and still do. Anyone know anything about this?

QuiGon Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 Indeed. From the DCS Viggen manual: The radar can be used in a limited air-to-air mode, which is used to roughly determine the position of potential targets. The radar mode is essentially the ground mapping radar but elevated upward. As such, it is unable to display targets as specific symbols or targets, but merely radar returns in an unfiltered form. The performance of the radar is dependent on the contrast between the target aircraft and the ground clutter. The radar in search mode cannot be used to lock the target. However, the radar can be used for ranging to determine whether the target is within the selected weapon’s envelope. The air-to-air mode is selected by setting the weapons selector to any of the air-to-air weapons positions: RB05 LUFT (rb05 A/A), AKAN JAKT (gunpods A/A), or IR-RB (IR missile) and then setting the radar mode to either A1 (PPI) or A2 (B-scope). The elevation of the radar is centred to +1.5° relative to the horizon, and can be manually elevated using the radar elevation knob. In the air-to-air mode, the an elevation indicator is added to the top part of the radar scope indicating the elevation of the beam relative to the 1.5° centre. Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!
pewbeef Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 Just to be clear on the issue: The problem as I see it is only that the manual and SFI states that T1 is used for locking a target, while in game one have to use TV, so its no big issue in that sense. I don't have the issue with unlocking the target after. From the OP side, this might have something to do with having to press T0 after locking a target with TV, otherwise you are flying around with TV permanently pressed and the radar will consistently try to lock something. If you have a lock on a target and the radar trigger in T0 position, the lock will remain as long as the target is in certain parameters of the radar elevation/azimuth. If the target is outside those parameters, the radar will return to normal (unlocked) mode again after a few seconds.
