investigating A/G radar issues in 2.7.7.15...

[dutchili]

- zoom view does not always work. A blank MFD instead of the radar image. Seems to happen primarily at higher pixel densities in vr with oculus quest 2.

- AA mode shows ground radar picture.

Please include a short track replay example. 

thanks

Yes, i will. Forgot to save the track. 

I can say the issue does not always occur, but repeatedly depressing the master mode switches did not help.

I will watch out for it and let the testers know to watch out for it.

thanks

Thanks @BIGNEWY.

Sorry for not providing a track just yet. I was unable to reproduce so far, but i've seen it a few times.

I think it is related to using the dogfight overwrite mode (AGM -> dogfight -> AAM (a/g radar image). But these are not the steps to reproduce consistently.

For the zoom: I used pixel density 1.7 when upgrading to the latest beta. The zoom never worked. Then i set PD to 1.3 and the zoom did work. Now it no longer matters what the PD setting is.

Regardless of the AG rader working, i am unable to make out any objects. The image seems to blurry regardless the zoom level. (sea/land is clear, so are tree lines. Identifying objects is not possible. (might be by design).

I use a reverb G2 and not seeing any problem, I will ask quest 2 testers to check also

thanks

The attached track shows the issue with the zoom function.

At various moment is switch between Norm, EXT and DBS1 / DBS2. The A/G radar image does not show in the zoomed functions.

Also, the NORM picture has a wrong center of origine in the final seconds.

ag radar zoom not working plus wrong center of radiation.trk
