[AS INTENDED] Gun in A/G mode shows no difference in CCIP solution between radar and radar-altimeter ranging

[dorianR666]

hello,

 

title is self-explanatory. On non-flat terrain, radar ranging and radar-altimeter ranging should show different solutions. They dont. Radar-altimeter ranging is just as good as radar ranging, even though it should be completely wrong in mountainous areas.

 

Throughout the track/video, i keep switching radar ranging on and off every 1-2 seconds.

The only thing that changes is distance on the right side of HUD and pipper unwinding. Pipper position stays the same.

DCS only allows one source of information to be used. The radar is looking at the aircrafts centerline so you wont get any change if it is above the horizon or not where your target is. Marking AS INTENDED and moving to RESOLVED.

Really? That's incredibly disappointing. I would have expected a more realistic simulation would be possible in DCS...

What does this mean in practice? As soon as RS is on, then it will only use that? So depending on which ranging method I want to use I have to make sure that the other one is off so it doesnt override the one I wanna use?

 

Would love to know because I cant get myself to hit anything with A/G ordnance.

Hi, there is a very big AG update that is going to release soon, could you wait for it and check this issue again when it's released ?

 

I'm convinced that any issue you could have now will be resolved :).
