RWS Tracks Lifetime


HerrKitz

Recommended Posts

Haven't been flying Viper for ~1 month.

Before current patch RWS track ghost used to have lifetime of at least 1-2 full cycles, making a ghosty trail of detected aircraft. Right now track ghost dissapears after next bar scan (giving it 1/4 of the old lifetime), making it really hard to quickly lock spotted target before next cycle, have coursor preplased over the target.

 

Is it a bug or feature? If it's feature, how do you change track ghost lifetime?

Check what you have set in the FCR CTL page for History 

If it is TGT HIS, it was set to 1. Changed to 4 and seems like it solved the issue somewhat. Still track ghosts are inconsistant, just got ghosts between 1st detection and actual to dissapear. Gonna provide flight track ASAP

My understanding is that one "frame" of radar scan is all bars (4 in video above). It seems as if DCS is treating each bar as a full scan for target history purposes. So targets are aging up to 4x faster than normal.

 

E.g. TGT HIST setting 4 would age a contact one level after the antenna goes left-right-left-right at its four elevations. This means that it would take the antenna traversing 16 time to fully age out a contact.

 

E.g. it would be normal for a non-maneuvering target like an air liner which is only detected on one of the four bars to produce a rolling trail of all four contact ages even though it was not detected on 75% of the traverses.

Reported to the team they will have a look at the current behaviour.
