Larkis Posted June 9, 2019 Posted June 9, 2019 Hi everyone. Im New to the rio guys and yesterday i got my first flight as rio and some problems witzh the radar. I think its a bug, but maybe its just me. but i dont know whats wrong. What does i do: 1. I connetct via Data-Link to the Carrier to get there Informations about planes around me. 2. I switch TID to Attack and use the TID Cursor to select a plane. Now i got all relvant informations about the plane like the alltitude. (ion this Case angels 14) 3. I order my pilot to get on the same angel and follow the target. 4. I set Az Scan to 10° for an smaller tracking area and El Bars to 1 (but also switch it back to 4.) 5. Now we are on mostly the same height then the target. I manual move the horizontal elevation that the target is inside the 2 radar lines. I also play a little bit with the vertical elevator for what i think should correct the altitute difference. But in the end i see nothing on the DDD. I switch between different radar modes. Double Pulse (should not work cause target should be in notch). Single Pulse (should work, cause there is no notching, but i also dont see ground clutter) TWS Auto and TWS Man (dont know exactly what they do, but there are avaible :music_whistling::huh:) and the Single Target Tracking Variants. But i never got a response on the Radar screen. Finally fully desperatet, my pilot intercept a tanker, i catch him with the IR/TV and sleeve the radar to the Signal. Only then my pilot got an Lock but i still dont see something on the DD, just the grey vertical line indecating a lock. For me, it looks like the radar selection buttons are bugged and i never really could leave the double pulse. Hope someone coulde help me. :thumbup:
TOViper Posted June 9, 2019 Posted June 9, 2019 (edited) Hope someone coulde help me. :thumbup: You are diging into something I also had problems with from time to time, but wasn't able to figure out where exactly they came from (me or the system). What I sometimes experience is, that after attacking a target with missiles (and sometimes missing them), and turning away from the target to evade enemy missiles, and then turning back nothing can be seen on the radar screen anymore. Maybe it is something very simple, or I have overseen something (hopefully). Since I cannot add something that is really helpful at the moment, I just support your thread, do some observations while flying the Cat within the next few days, and keep an eye to this thread.

Larkis Posted June 9, 2019 Author Posted June 9, 2019 Rechecking every knob in the tutorial, seems that i forget to set the WCS Switch (right from the stick) to standby while startup but leave it there. So maybe the Radar runs in some sort of Silent Mode but looks and react like it was active.
toto601 Posted June 9, 2019 Posted June 9, 2019 With WCS on standby the radar itself is on standby but can show contacts that are transmitted via data-link. You can see on the TID that the contact symbol is marked as friend and the symbol for it (semicircle) is downward oriented - this shows you that it is a data-link contact. In case you got it on the DDD and you are in a tracking mode TWS "man" or "auto" the symbol on the TID shows upward. There is a knob to hide the data-link contacts in order to have a better view on your real radar contacts on the TID. Pressing this knob in your case would have shown that you don't have any own radar contact.
