some1 Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 (edited) Maybe intentional, but seems strange. The radar in ACM vert mode, despite it's name, still scans in horizontal snake pattern, so each complete area scan takes several seconds. In other aircraft, vertical scan means that the radar is scanning in a vertical pattern.

MrDieing Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 I'll take that 13 bar setting please.

shaHeen-1 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Lol a horizontal scan living the vertical life. I'm not quite sure of how bad it is compared to the other planes but I'm sure it is worst in acquisition. How did you realize this btw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lymark Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Out of interest, can we get a status update on this bug? Been getting into close range a lot and have just realized how important having a proper VT scan is. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nighthawk2174 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Question I have is if the art on the radar is showing what is happening accurately, because if so, then that 13 bar scan would explain a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger-II Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 I think it's representative because I was wondering why it was so slow to lock. Makes more sense now! I'll look more carefully later.
