investigating A-A radar does STT incorrectly in Openbeta 2.5.6.60720

[Bear21]

See attached trk file. In AA AIM120 mode and RWS a TDC press over cross target (assume highest ranking RWS file) sets L&S correctly, second TDC press sets an incorrect STT on the RDR DDI, without AIM120 in-range info, no right range info etc. A further DTC press undesignates (which is wrong, nothing should happen). Do the same with DMS right with TDC over the RWS target and it shall give a direct STT. It doesn't, it gives a RWS L&S, press DMS right again with TDC over L&S, same strange STT with no info on DDI. HUD symbolgy works, but you are busy with DDI to kill several Bandits. right now it doesn't work because of missing in-range info. 

 

At present on this version of Openbeta a correct A-A STT does not exits it seems. 

 

Also, when switching from RWS to TWS the TDC shall keep it's RWS position, as you often have marked the target to IFF interrogate, then TWS shall center on that TDC position. Now it restarts from top left meaning you lose TWS scan on the Bogey to Bandit IFF you made. Not logical.

Is it possible you entered L/TWS? 

[Bear21]

Don't think so. it's a STT with the AIM120 range info lacking, you see that in the HUD which has a correct STT info display, including max range, no escape and min range and you can fire an AIM120 on the info (you can't on a L/TWS). Look at the track file.

Could you try increasing the aging time setting on the top right of the data menu and seeing if that fixes your issues? The setting is currently tied to trackfiles getting deleted so it might help. 4 seconds is low.

I ran it again with the default 16 seconds aging, no difference. It's an AIM-120 RWS > STT DDI display format issue, the HUD info is correct, the DDI display of STT lacks almost all info, the display is like a Angle Only Track (AOT) track though what you have is an STT with range gate set and working (as the HUD is correct and you get Shoot display and the AIM-120 shot works).

Are you talking about the LAR not appearing in STT in the radar page? If so, that's already been fixed (internally)

[Bear21]

Yes, good than you can close this part. The other is the third TDC press shall not un-designate, only the un-designate button shall do this.
