amalahama Posted June 18, 2019 Posted June 18, 2019 Hi, I just had a relaxing flight with the Viggen along UAE's shoreline and I noticed that oil tankers don't show up in the radar. I played with LOG/LIN, gain, pulse length with no avail. Being a big target with a large RCS in the middle of the sea, it should be easy to pick up
Emmy Posted June 18, 2019 Posted June 18, 2019 Maybe because they are technically scenery and not objects? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] http://www.476vfightergroup.com/content.php High Quality Aviation Photography For Personal Enjoyment And Editorial Use. www.crosswindimages.com
amalahama Posted June 19, 2019 Author Posted June 19, 2019 In the Ground Radar 2.0 feature description they stated it can now detect civilian traffic: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=225862 Make civilian traffic visible. Trains, static ships, parked aircraft etc. - will now be visible on the radar. Some of these objects are highly reflective owing to their large RCS and materials. Therefore it looks like a bug to me Regards
Super Grover Posted June 19, 2019 Posted June 19, 2019 Hey! I'm sorry that the radar doesn't detect tankers for you. I've checked it on my end today, and the result is as in this picture: So as you can see, it works in our internal builds. To help you with your problem, and to help us understanding if there is any bug, could you try the location from my screenshot? Then could you send us the mission you used in your flight, the precise location of the ships that have no radar returns, provide us with some screenshots of your radar display for those ships, and finally describe all actions you took (step by step) to set up your radar? I'm sure we will find a way to make the ships appear on the radar display . Best regards Krzysztof Krzysztof Sobczak Heatblur Simulations https://www.facebook.com/heatblur/
amalahama Posted June 19, 2019 Author Posted June 19, 2019 I will check again more thoroughly this evening and come back to you. Thanks!
amalahama Posted June 19, 2019 Author Posted June 19, 2019 So I retested it tonight paying more attention and it works! yesterday I was flying over an area with many small islands and I probably mixed them up. However RB75s don't lock onto oil tankers, do they?
