[ALREADY REPORTED] Radar drops unlocked contacts

1. What is the bug:

 

While flying the F-18 straight, the radar will detect a contact for 4-10 radar passes over the target (in any bar scan) and then never show the contact again if radar is not moved. Even though the contact is still in the detection area of the radar.

 

2. When does it happen.

 

  • Any map. any size radar contact. any altitudes.
  • The F-18 is flying without turning, climbing/diving, or rolling.
  • the contact may fly any path as long as it remains head-on aspect.

 

For me the bug eventually occurs 100% of the time those conditions are satisfied.

 

Only the F-18's radar drops the unlocked contact. All other aircraft detect it the whole way in.

 

3. Track:

The track file attached is an F-18 flying co-altitude, directly headon to an allied KC-135. After 8 passes in 1 bar scan the radar does not display the contact in any bar, azimuth, range, or memory setting, despite the 135 being in the scan zone of the radar.

 

 

The contact can be found again by rolling the F-18, or maintaining a shallow turn, or gradually changing pitch, or using boresight mode to lock it.

but as long as the 18 flies straight, the radar loses the unlocked contact after a few radar passes.

 

This is in version 2.5.2.18307

Here is another track file on a different map, 30,000ft, with 4 head-on allied contacts at different ranges.

(left to right, F-15C, B-52, C-17, M-2000C),

 

the radar suddenly loses all of them at the same time, and never discovers them again. Independent of the range of the contact.

 

The problem occurs after about 20 seconds of flying straight and level without touching the stick in this case.
