Exiting SCAN RAID back to TWS centers your scan volume even when you already had your radar slewed (EG: You are cranking) in TWS AUTO w/ an L&S.

This can cause you to lose radar SA, and this definitely should not happen, because the radar itself wouldn't teleport back to center when exiting SCAN RAID as it was already looking at your L&S

I didn't watch the track but the radar should go back to AUTO after exiting SCAN RAID and do its AUTO thing. Of course AUTO is highly simplified right now, but it should at least be maintaining the L&S/DT2 in the volume. Again I didn't watch the track so not sure if it's going to MAN and going to the center (which'd be wrong) or if it's still indicating AUTO and going to the center (which'd also be wrong). Either way, should just go back to AUTO.

I will ask the team. 

Your track replay seems to trigger the autostop cheat and does not show the issue. 

Hi, I have modified the autostop cheat to configure my jet when I spawn in air.

I re-recorded the track without using that, and also made it a much shorter track.

Note that when leaving TWS SCAN RAID back to TWS AUTO, the scan volume is centered, it will then immediately slew back to the L&S, but it shouldn't have been centered in the first place and should already be on top of the L&S. I also demonstrate changing the aging and how that will cause you to lose radar SA to the track because of this bug.

Seems related to the following linked post as well, where exiting TWS SCAN RAID will move your scan volume to the center of the RDR ATTK display regardless of where it was originally pointing.

As seen in the track, while in a crank and utilizing TWS SCAN RAID the bandits will fade until lost (initializing using 16 second timing) and will be regained immediately once TWS SCAN RAID is lost/exited (and the scan volume slews back onto the bandits, since it teleports back to center), later in the track I change the timing to 2 seconds and you can see the issue happen rapidly.

Let me know if you need evidence regarding TWS SCAN RAID should be centering on the L&S and I can PM it.

Hi,

on page 360 in the early access manual it is stated that when Raid mode is active

Quote

It concentrates the TWS scan to a small area to break out closely spaced targets. When
enabled, the scan is centered on the L&S target

and (on 361)

Quote

When selected, AUTO scan centering is automatically selected and cannot be unselected while in this
mode.

However, as can be seen on the attached track file the radar fails to keep the track when you perform a simple crank maneuver (in both MAN and AUTO mode). On the AZZ/EL page it looks like the radar scan zone is adjusted properly however that does not seem to help in keeping the track.

From the manual I understand that while in RAID the radar should perform similiar to the TWS AUTO mode. In TWS AUTO and without RAID active the performed maneuvering does not lead to a loss of the track.

I hope this helps,

In DCS, while in SCAN RAID, your scan volume is centered straight ahead (0 degrees ATA) when of course it should be centered on your L&S designation (the display is correct, but functionally it is not), thus any sort of crank/maneuver will lose your radar SA to that designation.

I believe I reported this somewhere, or someone else did, might be able to find/merge it.
