Recon21288 Posted August 6, 2019 Posted August 6, 2019 (edited) Hi guys, Before I start a new thread reporting it as a bug I want to confirm if anyone else since the latest open beta anyone else's A2A radar in the hornet suddenly stops giving you the ability to change your scan elevation? I've been playing on the TTI server for the past few days and i've died a lot in A2A fights simply because I couldn't lock the target up. I can see the bandit on my SA page, but I can't change my radar elevation to match his altitude. I don't get the carrot/triangle thing on the left you use as visual feedback. Also the TDC icon has -99 on the top and bottom, and regardless of where i move the TDC cursor it stays that way. Some basic things: 1 - My Radar is SOI 2 - It's switched on 3 - Using R-ALT +/- doesn't do anything either (so at least i know my joystick isn't at fault but to be safe I did try remapping the buttons others to rule that possibility out) I'm still very much learning the A2A aspect of the aircraft so i'm willing to concede maybe i'm doing something to cause it but when I've asked on the server people have no idea how to fix it which makes me think i'm not the cause. I even re-read chucks guide to make sure I wasn't being stupid but other than explaining what it is and how to use it he doesn't mention anything about it not working.

Harker Posted August 6, 2019 Posted August 6, 2019 Sounds like your elevation is going all the way to the bottom. Make sure the radar elevation is not bound to an axis by accident. After that, verify your controls for it, to make sure that there are no control conflicts. Lastly, if you use the elevation controls to zoom in and out with the targeting pod, there's currently a bug that they'll also change the radar elevation, even if the radar is not SOI. This often ends up with a min or max radar elevation. The vCVW-17 is looking for Hornet and Tomcat pilots and RIOs. Join the vCVW-17 Discord.

ricktoberfest Posted August 6, 2019 Posted August 6, 2019 I had this same problem a couple days ago in multiplayer. My elevation worked for awhile then suddenly stopped responding even though the key bindings activates in the menu still. The next time I loaded up it was fine. I’m sure there’s a glitch there somewhere but I didn’t bother to save the track as I was still thinking it was pilot error
Harker Posted August 6, 2019 Posted August 6, 2019 Oh, I just remembered, there's a bug where radar elevation will stop working if you change weapons when trying to lock someone up with the radar, just in that 0.5-1 second it takes to lock.

First one i had the issue as i switched from CAS with the TPOD to CAP. Second I went only CAP and never had a problem as i obviously didn't have the TPOD. So it must be the TPOD issue you describe. If its reported and known by ED i'll let them sort it. Thanks for the help.

Some of the TPOD's HOTAS controls affect other sensors as well, even if they're in the background or not SOI. Glad I could be of help, happy flying!

Andrei Posted August 7, 2019 Posted August 7, 2019 I had a case with the elevation freeze in MP in a dogfight last Sunday. The a/c was in A2A configuration only, no TPOD. So, there is definitely still this freeze issue, but I don't recall the steps to reproduce it - it was a bit chaotic there :) AMD R7 5800X3D | Aorus B550 Pro | 32GB DDR4-3600 | RTX 4080 | VKB MGC Pro Gunfighter Mk III + STECS + VKB T-Rudder Mk4 | Pimax Crystal FC3 | A-10C II | Ка-50 | P-51 | UH-1 | Ми-8 | F-86F | МиГ-21 | FW-190 | МиГ-15 | Л-39 | Bf 109 | M-2000C | F-5 | Spitfire | AJS-37 | AV-8B | F/A-18C | Як-52 | F-14 | F-16 | Ми-24 | AH-64 | F-15E | F-4 | CH-47 NTTR | Normandy | Gulf | Syria | Supercarrier | Afghanistan | Kola

If it was chaotic, it's likely that you changed A/A weapons when the radar was trying to lock or re-acquire a target. Oh, I just remembered, there's a bug where radar elevation will stop working if you change weapons when trying to lock someone up with the radar, just in that 0.5-1 second it takes to lock.

If you were using the Tpod and zooming in on a target before using the a2a radar your antenna elevation will be way off. You have to recenter it. In the real bird the switch has a spring that recenters elevation I think.
