mrkline Posted March 21, 2019 Posted March 21, 2019 (edited) When switching radar modes, the AWG-9 suddenly ignores any azimuth or elevation controls and snaps to the centerline. But as soon as you touch the azimuth or elevation controls again, it snaps back to its previous position. Edited April 16, 2019 by IronMike
QuiGon Posted March 21, 2019 Posted March 21, 2019 I can confirm that and it's pretty annoying!

Random Posted March 21, 2019 Posted March 21, 2019 Yep this is an annoying one! Often causes me to drop a contact as RIO
mrkline Posted March 28, 2019 Author Posted March 28, 2019 This is still present in the latest OB, but seems to only show up in multiplayer. In singleplayer, the radar doesn't jump at all: I'm assuming this makes it some sort of network sync issue as the RIO transitions radar modes.

I hope that helps the devs to track this down. Btw, has this problem even been acknowledged by HB so far?

mrkline Posted March 28, 2019 Author Posted March 28, 2019 Not to my knowledge. I'll keep posting here until it's tagged per the bug reporting sticky (https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=236238)
mrkline Posted April 1, 2019 Author Posted April 1, 2019 This affects supersearch too: When commanding supersearch with a HCU half-action, elevation snaps back to center until the user futzes with azimuth or elevation controls. Watch the antenna elevation meter.

Watch the antenna elevation meter. Nice to know, I thought it either was expected behaviour or it was me doing something wrong and it was driving me mad and very poorly self-confident in my RIO skills. :music_whistling: Nulla Dies Sine Linea

mrkline Posted April 2, 2019 Author Posted April 2, 2019 The good news is that supersearch now scans however many bars you've set. The bad news is that it still jumps to the centerline until you mash the AZ/EL controls in 2.5.4.29167:
QuiGon Posted April 2, 2019 Posted April 2, 2019 Yeah, center-snapping is still an issue! 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!
mrkline Posted April 11, 2019 Author Posted April 11, 2019 The April 10 Open Beta still seems to show the following behavior in multiplayer: Radar volume snaps to center whenever switching modes, then returns to the desired AZ/EL once those controls are touched. Supersearch seems to ignore EL knob (but does respect the vernier thumbwheel) until AZ/EL controls are touched.

gyrovague Posted April 16, 2019 Posted April 16, 2019 This is fixed internally now, seems to have been only for multicrew. Unclear when it will make it into a DCS release, should be within two weeks. ____________ Heatblur Simulations [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
mrkline Posted April 26, 2019 Author Posted April 26, 2019 (edited) Both supersearch and the normal scans still jump back to center in 2.5.4.30038. Watch how the azimuth and elevation settings zero themselves whenever switching modes, or when commanding supersearch with an HCU half-action: Did this miss the release window and get slated for the next OB?

mrkline Posted May 9, 2019 Author Posted May 9, 2019 (edited) Still present in DCS 2.5.4.30386: This is fixed internally now, seems to have been only for multicrew. Unclear when it will make it into a DCS release, should be within two weeks. Was this fix backed out of the internal build? Are all Tomcat fixes on hold for this OB? Edited May 9, 2019 by mrkline
