paladin7 Posted October 28, 2018 Posted October 28, 2018 I had a weird issue with radar today. I was engaging 4 mig 21's and I couldn't get a lock on them. I put the cursor over them and hit designate and the radar goes into acquire mode but doesn't lock and I have to hit undesignate to stop it at which point my radar is now pointed full up and I mean up like 99 top and 99 bottom( a bug I am sure as that is beyond the antenna gimbal limits). So I move my radar back down try again same issue. any idea why my radar would lock. The migs were 20nm directly in front of me and angels 20 as was I.

paladin7 Posted October 28, 2018 Author Posted October 28, 2018 hopefully, its rather annoying to not be able to use my slammers to thin the numbers or put them on the defense. If I had lived I would have punched my crew chief for not doing his job and giving me a dud bird.
backspace340 Posted October 29, 2018 Posted October 29, 2018 Sounds like you might have a binding conflict with TDC depress and radar elevation. One other thing - to lock a contact you want to put the TDC over a brick and press Sensor Select Right (AACQ) which will lock that specific brick - if instead you press TDC depress it'll do a spotlight search (a 20 deg scan around your TDC) and lock anything it finds - so you might lock a brick further away than the one you're after.
