[REPORTED]Radar in AG mode detects targets in the air.

[Martin2487]

I found that when I switch the radar to AG, I am still able to detect targets in the air. Information on the speed and altitude targets is still updated. I tested the problem, the test is part of the attached track. On the AMPCD, I viewed the SA page and switched to AG with a button in the cockpit. As you can see the radar still detects targets. If AG activates the radar using the SURF button on the radar screen I see the same problem.

 

It is obvious that this is clearly a bug. APG-73 is not an AESA radar. It can operate in one mode only. It cannot track targets in the air and on the ground at the same time.

Any AWACS or other donors in the air? You saw the A/A target on SA page not on A/G radar, correct?

[Martin2487]

Yes, no AWACS or donor. The track is from a mission where there is one F/A-18 (piloted) and about 3 IL-78.Yes, I saw the targets on the SA page. You can look at my track or test it yourself can be easily verified.
