Alexrey Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 I always thought it was normal until GGTharos pointed out to me that it wasn't in HL tonight. What happens is that about 40% of the time, if I try changing my radar's mode from SCAN to TWS it'll just turn off. I'll turn it on again and repeat and it'll most likely turn off again. Usually after about 5 or 6 tries it'll finally change to TWS mode without turning off. But I noticed something even stranger for the first time while playing online tonight. While in SCAN mode I tried locking up a bandit, but the moment I pressed Tab to lock him up my radar turned off. I tried this repeatedly but it would always turn off, and with the bandit closing in I was forced to turn back to base. The TWS radar error has been happening for a while now but the SCAN radar error is totally new to me. Does anyone know why this happens and how I can fix it? It's not very nice if the bandit's 20nm out and your radar quits on you. :(
Boberro Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 For me very rare radar turns off by self. Don't know what do this turns off, but maybe when you are pressing ALT-I it is very small interval and you imagine that you're pressing both keys one time and really you're pressing only I which turns off radar?

S77th-konkussion Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 I think you might be hitting the "I" key just before the "alt" (or whatever it is) and turning it off yourself. If you use a HOTAS- you'd have room to map the key combo properly. [sIGPIC]http://forums.eagle.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=43337&d=1287169113[/sIGPIC]
Alexrey Posted June 25, 2008 Author Posted June 25, 2008 You guys fixed the TWS problem. :) What I have to do is press "Alt" before pressing "R", I can't press them at the same time. Still dunno why the radar turned off when trying to lock a bandit in SCAN mode. But since that's only happened once I'll let it slide. Thanks guys!
S77th-konkussion Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 It's not "R" is it? [sIGPIC]http://forums.eagle.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=43337&d=1287169113[/sIGPIC]
Boberro Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 Think he had at mind as Radar (I button) or simple remapped keys ;] Reminder: Fighter pilots make movies. Bomber pilots make... HISTORY! :D | Also to be remembered: FRENCH TANKS HAVE ONE GEAR FORWARD AND FIVE BACKWARD :D ಠ_ಠ ツ
MadTommy Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 My radar turns itself off... really annoying. Target locked... target breaks lock, or i think it does, i look down and the bloody radar is OFF... happens quite often when i'm not touching the keyboard. i5-3570K @ 4.5 Ghz, Asus P8Z77-V, 8 GB DDR3, 1.5GB GTX 480 (EVGA, superclocked), SSD, 2 x 1680x1050, x-fi extreme music.

S77th-konkussion Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 In Russian planes- if a locked target somehow breaks the lock for whatever reason it will switch over to the EOS. [sIGPIC]http://forums.eagle.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=43337&d=1287169113[/sIGPIC]
