EntropySG Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 Hello, I cant get the radar to turn on. No matter how long I let it warm up, it wont come online, the screen staying black. When I go to standby, I can do the radar-selftest, then I see the cursor etc, but as soon as I flip it on, the screen goes black. I followed the correct startup procedure, still no joy. It works on a warmstarted plane [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Frederf Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 The only time I experienced this lately was trying out a very old mission, first from Over the Hump series campaign. Does it always break in one particular mission? Does it work on a new mission editor creation created right now to test? I know it's possible to wreck the radar by a bad ramp start order. I think I'm going to have to redownload it to check. The radar break behavior is really annoying intended or otherwise.
lemoen Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 The Mig21 radar needs a long time to warm up. Also, make sure you flip the AC power switch AFTER the engines have spooled and only let the radar warm up thereafter.
EntropySG Posted October 3, 2017 Author Posted October 3, 2017 Hi thanks for the replies. I played the startup tutorial and only after complete startup I set it to standby. Maybe I need to wait longer [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Frederf Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 The time required for radar in standby having never used it before in flight seems to be exactly 5:00. In cases of some warm up time or use the warm up time is shorter. The required warm up time increases the longer the radar is off (up to maximum 5 minutes).
EntropySG Posted October 5, 2017 Author Posted October 5, 2017 yeah I feel dumb, indeed I had not waited long enough! It works, thanks for your help! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
