[FIXED FOR NEXT UPDATE] Radar Elevation Knob broken

[razorseal]

Hey guys,

 

Been searching this here but can't find anything. I'm unable to change my antenna elevation in TWS mode. RWS mode let's me change my. Radar antenna elevation. Once i switch to TWS, i can no longer change it.

 

Any ideas why? Known bug? Feature? Very odd.

 

I'll see a target at 29k from DL, and then can't adjust my antenna to see the target so I can lock on...

Feature of the RADAR in TWS mode:

 

Without a bugged target, the azimuth scan centres on the cursors and elevation is controlled manually. When a target is bugged, the azimuth is biased to keep the bugged target in the scan and the elevation is centred on the bugged target. If the antenna elevation is tilted while the pilot has a bugged target, upon dropping the bug, the elevation scan will move according to what the pilot commanded to reflect the position set by the antenna elevation controls.

Yeah that aaaaand there's a bug right now in which you can't change antenna elevation at all in TWS mode. In RWS you can change it but the numbers won't change to show that you did.

Yes, except I can't command the antenna elevation in TWS lol.

 

This is not azimuth or bars... This is me moving thr actual antenna.

What are you laughing at, am trying to help you? I am not talking about bar scan either.

 

As I said, you have no control over the 'actual' antenna elevation direction if tgt locked in TWS, but it will return to that elevation if bug tgt dropped.

 

Now probably isn't the best time to worry about it anyway, as many people have noted all over the DCS forum, the radar elevation is broken after last update.

[FCR] Radar Elevation Knob broken

 

Hi,

 

since last update I have a rly weird problem :

on FCR at the right of the cursor there's the max and minimum radar search altitude and it's supposed to change when you move the radar Antenna Elevation knob, well it doesn't change anymore...

 

I explain my self, when I move the Antenna Elevation know on the left of the MFD I can see th elevation changing, but nothing happens at the right of the cursor, altitude remains the same, unless I move the cursor, when I do that it changes but it doesn't move when I change radar antenna elevation :cry::cry::cry:

 

What did you do with my 16 ?! It worked well 3 days ago :cry::cry::cry:

 

Please fix thanks !!

EDIT : I tested with ANT ELEV mapped to buttons instead of an Axis and I have the same problem, I took screenshots just in case it's needed ;)

Yes, I have the same issue. I do not see the numbers either side of the cursor change when i change the antenna elevation. Nor does the radar elevation actually change, It won't see a steady target right in front of me, no matter how much i change the antenna elevation

[Kalonji]

Yeah, FCR is acting weird since last update for me :cry::cry::cry:

I know it's only Early Access but now we can't do Air2Air combat anymore :cry::cry::cry:

 

 

I'm sad !! I wanna destroy some migs in my mighty F-16 !! :helpsmilie::helpsmilie::helpsmilie:

can confirm, just got blown out of the sky by an F15 at 38 kft that I couldnt see because I couldn't elevate the radar to look higher than 31 kft...
