can not reproduce needed to cycle A/A and back to A/G to regain TDC bars

[Rongor]

I was trying out stuff and learning use of TGP and the A/G radar modes. After some time I didn't regain the yellow TDC bars after undesignating a tracked sea target. The bars only came back after cycling to A/A and then back to A/G mode.

 

It's in the last few minutes of a rather boring attached track file...

Hi,

 

do you have a shorter track showing the issue, it was not very clear in the track and when I take control all seems normal. 

 

thanks

Unfortunately not. It happened by surprise and I can't reproduce it. If you manage to fast forward to the latest 3 minutes, you will see the situation on the right DDI. SEA mode, no designated target, no TDC bars...until i cycled A/A and A/G

Does the attack format have TDC priority? The TDC cursor will not be displayed if the display does not have the TDC assigned to it.

Yes, the diamond was in that DDI and therefore the TDC slaved to it.

Time codes in the track file:

13:01:00 around this time the bars are gone

in the following minutes I become increasingly busy trying to find any connections to TGP, waypoints management or else, which could be responsible

13:07:15 cycling to A/A and back to A/G mode, TDC bars are back

 

situation during the problem...

Meanwhile I had this happen on 2 other occasions. It's always in the end of my missions, where a track would be rather lengthy. I think it always happened after working with TGP and radar, switching between these two during weapon employments. Will keep an eye on that so that it might become reproducable...

It happens to me sometimes as well. I am in A/A mode, fight off some interceptors, then press A/G mode and SEA radar does not show TDC lines. Cycling back to A/A, then disabling A/A before enabling A/G works (mostly).

If anyone is able to reproduce a short as possible track replay showing this I would appreciate it.

 

thanks
