Cepheus76 Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 You introduce an interesting point, however, I found that I experience misses, unless I change the format. I am away from my computer now for a few days, but I will test then what coordinates are returned when designating a target first and then choosing precise and what the values will be for the same point when activating the precise option first.

I then just drive the cursor in EXP3 over my target, designate with the SCS and get on the proper heading to drop. Actually, I configure the coordinates the same way when using the pod for targeting. Once I figured the above steps out I didn't experience that many misses with free fall ordnance (and JSOWs) Regards, Cepheus76 The above describes entering into FTT. This works fine currently because the radar map coordinates are not used for this. The problem is with INS designations. FTT is only feasible on isolated ground targets.

Auranis Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 I discovered an interesting issue with using the Air-to-Ground Radar on Persian Gulf, in both the Hornet and the Viper. If you designate a target using MAP mode, the target designator diamond is offset significantly from the designated point. Interestingly, if you use it as your bomb aim point, your bombs hit the target. Conversely, it seems that selecting AGR and putting the diamond over the target will result in a miss. This issue appears to only affect the Persian Gulf map. I could not replicate it on Marianas, Caucasus, or Syria. See below screenshots and attached trackfile. In this example, I designate a C-130 parked on the ramp at Al Dhafra, then switch to FTT. When I roll in to attack, the TD diamond is completely off the ramp. I make my AUTO attack run on the diamond and score hits on the intended target. TDIssueAlDhafra.trk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldcrusty Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 I sort of gave up on DCS version of Hornet's radar (ground and A/A) but after a while I decided to check it again, motivated by wishful thinking... In this test I wanted to see if designating on a frozen EXP3 image was possible. Well, it is. I was able to slew over the new target but after releasing TDC, the designation 'cross' did not move to the new target. The FLIR snapped to it or... very close to it and I was able to refine and launch a JSOW. The FRZ function is still linked to active radar somehow. After passing the target the radar switched to EXP1 away from the area. Speaking of EXP1... when flying around with the radar scan offset to either side, the image didn't really look that bad. I had to play with contrast a little. https://youtu.be/5qgzmi8e_Xs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LastRifleRound Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Yeah it's still bugged exactly the same way. FRZ mode has been fixed but now exhibits the same issues as EXP/DBS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CallsignFrosty Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 This is still an issue. Anyone? I'm also not convinced there is any difference in rendering between EXP2 and EXP3 modes (DBS vs SAR), although that might be for a different thread.

al531246 Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Was about to report this. Quite stunned to find it's been known and untouched for over a year.

norman99 Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 (edited) @BIGNEWY Despite merging of similar posts over the last 18 months, it seems little progress has been made on fixing the issue.

If you have something specific in mind please make a forum post with a track replay and any evidence this particular thread has dragged on over the years and we really need to see new reports if you still think there are problems. I will close this one for now thank you 1 Forum rules - DCS Crashing?
