Rainmaker Posted July 12, 2018 Posted July 12, 2018 Flew it last night just seeing what’s changed. I had radar tracks in both standby and and operate while parked on the ramp but there was no visable air traffic actually there from what I could tell. Has some sort of track test feature been implemented, we still getting tracks on the ground, or did I just have something really flukey happen?
joey45 Posted July 12, 2018 Posted July 12, 2018 Radar shouldn't work with weight on wheels.. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Rainmaker Posted July 12, 2018 Author Posted July 12, 2018 Yes, that’s well understood. The question is whether it is bugged again (remember mention of being fixed) or if they are simulated targets that are there on purpose. Some radars do have a track test self-test feature as part of the ground ops options, no idea on the F/A-18 though.
=Panther= Posted July 13, 2018 Posted July 13, 2018 I see tracks all the time on the ground. Not sure why though.

Rainmaker Posted July 13, 2018 Author Posted July 13, 2018 I see tracks all the time on the ground. Not sure why though. Do they coincide with actual aircraft or are they just birds (ghosts)?
pete_auau Posted July 13, 2018 Posted July 13, 2018 on rw world fa 18 radar will not transmit needs weight of wheels
Rainmaker Posted July 13, 2018 Author Posted July 13, 2018 I can confirm, at least in the public release build, the radar is tracking contacts on the ground...both in standby and norm. So...it was rebroken or not fixed.

CHSStarKiller Posted July 13, 2018 Posted July 13, 2018 Rainmaker, I still have just the black screen on my AG RDR display. Never picks anything up.

Rainmaker Posted July 13, 2018 Author Posted July 13, 2018 Guys, if you wanna be of help... Provide tracks Not exactly a difficult issue to replicate...and was a previous bug already. ED can choose to fix it or not, just letting them know it still exists. There seems to be many things that are fixed on internal builds, but are not on the patches that get pushed.
pete_auau Posted July 14, 2018 Posted July 14, 2018 The radar "CAN" work WOW if you know how the system can be tricked, or should be tricked for testing purposes. Quite cool :P yep same with rw fa 18 also with "wow" you also need to trick the aircraft thats its flying as well for the radar to transmit for testing purpose on the ground
Mikkall Posted July 14, 2018 Posted July 14, 2018 Been messing with the Aim-7 / Radar all day.... if it's not broke, it's just really, really bad. :pilotfly:
Rainmaker Posted August 7, 2018 Author Posted August 7, 2018 Just updating after latest patch, radar still transmits on ground. Can an admin move this thread over into the bugs section?
=Panther= Posted August 7, 2018 Posted August 7, 2018 Confirmed, RWR indication on leading aircraft from trailing taxing aircraft radar, also seen contacts on the scope as the leading aircraft.

antagonist Posted August 7, 2018 Posted August 7, 2018 The radar "CAN" work WOW if you know how the system can be tricked, or should be tricked for testing purposes. Quite cool :P O microwaver of ground crews, let me partake in your knowledge!
Eldur Posted August 9, 2018 Posted August 9, 2018 The radar "CAN" work WOW if you know how the system can be tricked, or should be tricked for testing purposes. Quite cool :P Care to share or is it highly classified? Just one idea, but I didn't try it yet, would be hooking her up on the wires, add some power, apply wheel brakes, back to idle which will make the nose rise and the front wheel WOW switch is off. Don't know if the Hornet features them in the main gears as well Also, not exactly a ground issue, but I pressed that SIL OSB in midair which made the scan bar stop sweeping as expected. Then I pressed ACTIVE which should make it sweep left to right and back just once. Kept on doing that however and I wasn't able to SILence it anymore, box around that OSB label goes on and off still, but the radar is stuck pulsing out waves so it seems. So the whole SIL and STBY thing doesn't seem to be alright in general...

Moafuleum Posted August 12, 2018 Posted August 12, 2018 Guys, if you wanna be of help... Provide tracks I guess the screenshot says everything BTW: I tracked a friendly, seems like IFF is also not working correctly (and yes, I know, everything is WIP, the IFF is very very simple and one should wait some seconds to identify it correctly) however this should be discussed elsewhere
